A C-9 turnout is found to fit for the trailing connection from the Goods Yard: crop_combine_5.png crop_combine_5.png The advantage of performing these picture shape functions in Templot rather than a graphics editor program is that the scaling and full resolution is maintained.

Thanks again and I'll let you know how I get on. Paul posted: 16 Jan 2017 18:07 from: Tony W Hi Paul. In Windows, if you go to the folder where your photo image is stored and right click the mouse on it, select properties at the bottom of the list and then Summary tab, click the Advanced button and you will find the DPI figures given for the both the horizontal and vertical resolution. They should both be the same. Regards Tony. posted: 16 Jan 2017 19:56 from: PjKing1 Thanks Tony that's great. Cheers, Paul Last edited on 16 Jan 2017 ...
... topic: 3649 regular or curviform? posted: 20 Apr 2020 07:21 from: Martin Wynne For the umpteenth time over the years, I have just posted a reply on RMweb explaining the difference between regular and curviform V-crossings, and how the latter can make more space in a cramped yard. It may as well be copied here: I fear there is insufficient room in the yard for a loading gauge or a crane Both of your turnouts need to be changed to curviform type V-crossings. This will improve the line of the curves and make more space. You might find that you could then use shorter turnouts. To change the type of V-crossing, click the green R indicator so that it changes to C: 2_200116_490000000.png You can see that in a regular V-crossing the part of the turnout marked in yellow is curving in the same direction as the main road. Changing to curviform causes that part of the turnout to curve away from the main road, creating more space between the tracks if the tracks ...
... posted: 17 May 2020 23:52 from: Rob Manchester Hi John, Teak was( and still is) used by boat builders in 1:1 and smaller scales. It is very resistant to most things including water and sunlight. In the sizes useful for you I would have thought model boat shops would be the best bet. Good levels of protection should be used with teak as the fine dust can be quite harmful if inhaled. Rob (Not quite locked down in the UK) posted: 18 May 2020 07:33 from: Phil O As an alternative to teak, you could use Jarrah, which is being used for sleepers and timbering, it was used at York north end when it was remodelled back in the 80's, the south end used concrete bearers. posted: 18 May 2020 09:45 from: Martin Wynne How weatherproof is fibreglass copper-clad?

... - this one ROCO. There is a common running rail with splayed ends going right down the middle of the double slip. Is there a real prototype of this formation, or is it just a "manufacturers convenience"? Attachment: attach_3067_3672_ROCO_double_slip .jpg 175 posted: 18 May 2020 17:51 from: Martin Wynne RogerW wrote Is there a real prototype of this formation, or is it just a "manufacturers convenience"? Hi Roger, It's a double outside-slip of the German Baeseler pattern: 507px-2001-07-19.0004.DKW-Baeseler.jpg This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license Quite common on the continent but not used (as far as I know) in the UK. The outside-slip design allows for a shorter crossing angle at the same radius, for cramped station throats. Or an easier radius for higher speed in running lines. Can be done in Templot with a bit of fiddling about, but not easy to build. cheers, Martin. posted: 18 May 2020 19: ...

Then at template> V-crossing settings..., tick this box before making the first crossover: 2_280306_090000002.png* entry-straight is the name for that section of a regular V-crossing. It is actually straight only in a straight turnout. In a curved turnout it is curved to the same radius as the main road. cheers, Martin. posted: 29 May 2020 07:21 from: Graham Long Thanks for information. I have used you recipe to make a template for a scissors crossover on a curve. I see there are black lines on the template. It appears that the two them indicate the boundary between knuckle and closure rail. If this correct then the tips of the diamond is definitely closer to toe of turnouts. Thus it seems that I have a Scissors 1. I think I will be able to to stop wing rails from interfering with running rail and aligning crossing timbers ...
... this, a "reverse image" mirror left/right hand (Ctrl H) template from the Templot design is printed out and the rails installed over that by having bits of wood attached to the template to hold the rails by their heads.

This is the result on the sketchboard: 2_101848_140000002.png If you wanted a coloured fill between the trackbed edges on the sketchboard, that would be a lot of additional coding which I'm leaving for now. However, if all templates have trackbed edges, and all the same width, and the track is central between the edges, you can get a similar effect using the existing track background function: 2_101848_140000001.png 2_101848_140000003.png cheers, Martin. posted: 11 Dec 2017 07:53 from: Phil O Hi Martin That's just great.

I did some digging about 3 years ago after hearing about some SSD failures, and it appeared that the cheaper SSDs could fail after a couple of years, and that if one wanted longlevity then one needed to fork out for server-grade SSDs. Even then life wasn't guaranteed. If I get around to building a new PC it's certainly something I'd look at, but don't know which way I'd jump.

377. Tramway track
... point don't usually have a constant radius, they appear to be like railway points with A,B ,C etc switches so they don't go from straight to curve with no transition. Maybe try an A-4 with curviform vee then a transition curve to a sharper radius. The usual turning circle for a typical bus is about 56', 244mm. My opinion is that a tram turning circle would be a bit bigger than that, maybe 1 chain, 66", 284mm. posted: 25 Oct 2019 17:07 from: Andy Reichert "Pdf" Templates for near scale girder rail tram track are at: http://www.proto87.com/Street_track_templates.html These are published in two standards: HO Proto-87 16.5 mm gauge and RTR HO compatible, HO Street Fine.

Try creating it again, but this time have the main line as the control template, and the yard line as the background template. That will make it right-hand.
