I'm hoping to have a fix for that in the next day or two. cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Oct 2019 09:13 from: Jim Guthrie Graeme, Heres the .ZIP file of my BOX file folder- 470 files with two sub folders. Martin has locked the other thread so I'm posting it here. It just gets inside the file size restriction. Jim.

No problem if not, but a chance to simplify the code is always a good thing. Actually I would have expected PNG to be the preferred format. What was the rationale behind the choice? ...

... rail is bent The switch rails are formed much the same way, file the back off the switch rail where it touches the stock rail, file off the head on the inside. The stock rail needs the foot filed back where the switch rail touches and I put nicks in the foot of the stock rail for the set bend The handlaidtrack frog jig looks excellent and similar to the vee filing jigs, if a lot of turnouts are being built at the same angle it might be worth the expence posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:04 from: Hayfield Paul I would like to add, make sure you use sharp files and file one way only. I buy Vallobe files, they are slightly dearer than cheap files but so much better For code 75 I use a smooth cut 10" when using the vee jig, I also have smooth and 2nd cut 6" files For the switch rail jigs I use 10" on the backs and 6" on the inside heads.

... topic: 3324 OpenTemplot- where next? posted: 4 Sep 2018 07:04 from: Martin Wynne It is now 3 months since I released Templot as open source. I spent a lot of time preparing the code to make it suitable for publication, and capable of being compiled in a readily available compiler. Then when there was some disagreement about the actual form of publication I spent more time splitting it into two options -- a conventional collaborative open source project (OpenTemplot), and a "home" version for users to tinker with for their own use (TemplotMEC). For a long time I had been reluctant to publish the code for Templot, fearing that it would create a flood of questions about the workings of the code, and requests for help in modifying and compiling it. Which on top of the usual help requests from users would be just too much to cope with. In the event I was completely wrong, and the actual result has been almost total silence. I know of no-one working on or ...

For those reading this and wondering, the index is at: http://www.templot.com/forum_index/ (It is currently on my UK hosting, but I shall probably move it to Ohio when fully operational.) There is one set of pages which definitely needs a much more prominent link, that is: http://www.templot.com/martweb/pug_info.htm and an additional page with the 091 changes info. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Feb 2010 07:52 from: BruceNordstrand Martin I have thought this for a while now, but why don't you install one of the free Wiki products floating around.

... a fancy electronic controller. All you need is one (incredibly cheap- think 1.00 GBP) pulse generator that can feed positioning pulses to as many servos as you like. This method also significantly reduces the number of wires hanging around under your layout and it can take care of frog polarity too. I could produce an extensive write-up and I will do that if there is enough interest. Please let me know if you would like me to do that Cheers, Andrew (or Andy) posted: 20 Aug 2020 07:09 from: Igor Kurgan From my memory 25 years ago: A cheap electric coil(even made by yourself), a power supply 19-24v, some condensators and a spring can do the trick also. The theory was that the spring is holding them into a fixed position and when put power on the coil the points where set in a different position. With the condensator you could alter the frequencies of you volt, from 30 hz to 1kh, in steps of ~25hz or something so it would ...

Only with this will the composition be apparent, needless to say this could cost £n ,000. Normally this forms part of Trading Standards or HSE's enforcement procedures.

The sleepers are Plastruct strip. Nigel posted: 27 May 2015 07:48 from: Hayfield Nigel The good thing about the Exactoscale range in 4 mm scale is that they have a range of additional chairs, admittedly for LMS/BR but most can be used with other regions. Bridge and small chairs for when rails converge, check chairs, common and obtuse crossing chairs, slip and additional switch chairs all make up a range which saves chopping chairs In 7 mm scale sadly from C&L and Exactoscale there are only the standard, slide and bridge chairs available, another range is ...
... , either use the "make branch track" or "make reverse curve" buttons. Fortunately Martin has made a lot of short cuts since the original versions and what used to take me days to work out now takes a few minutes. My "Earls Court Junction" box (see separate thread) took about 3 hours to do a rough version to see if it would work. and that is quite a large layout.

There's a bit of extraneous track in and around "88.UM Connector" but I suspect a quick bit of work with F4 will sort that out, I might come chasing you for some of your Midland OHL details. I've had a hankering to build a set and having the proper OHL would be good. The original actually looked very modern for a turn of the century installation.

That's something beyond mechanical failure, and much more likely to go wrong, such as weather conditions or fallen debris affecting the rodding run or clogging the switch blade. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Oct 2017 12:07 from: Tim Lee Here is another image which again shows the 180 degree actuation rod bend locating into the switch independent of the front stretcher bar. Masborough, 1907 It does seem to suggest that pre WWI at least the Midland connected rodding independently of the front stretcher bar certainly within sidings and goods yards. I am still hoping to turn up a mainline trailing turnout to see if the practice differed- we know it was different for facing due to the requirement for locking. 2999_210706_480000000.jpg 2999_210812_040000000.jpg Last edited on 21 Oct 2017 13 ...

... topic: 166 Next Steps, laying track on a printed template posted: 21 Sep 2007 03:07 from: Rextanka I think I'm reaching the point where track can be laid on my baseboards. I have some baseboards and a printout of the track. My initial thoughts are that I would seal the baseboards with varnish or paint, then glue down closed cell foam with PVA, and glue the template on top of this. Once that is done, glue copperclad on the template for sleepers and start ballasting. Then start soldering rail to the copper clad. But I have concerns about this. My templates are printed on an inkjet printer. Does the PVA distort the template. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Nick posted: 21 Sep 2007 03:36 from: Martin Wynne Hi Nick, But I have concerns about this. My templates are printed on an inkjet printer. Does the PVA distort the template.

I hope you can find time to help me further but will of course understand if you can't. I couldn't find an emoticon for insincere. I think it obvious that my next move is to obtain Templot and see if a study of it will give me further insights into the mysteries of points building.

... One idea is to have small traversers in the factories so that handling of stock is kept to a minimum but this is still being considered for practicality. I have tried to keep the turnouts as shallow as possible except for the factory spurs and maintain as a spacious and flowing line as I can in the space available, my loft when not being exhibited. Any comments from those more experienced than I on the practicability of this would be much appreciated.

... to the 'trouble' of using ply timbering to then have not-ply timbering for the crossing. You wrote about using bridge and standard chairs on the crossing- I presume you mean the closure side of the knuckle, rather than around the wing rails or vee? I tried that idea before and it works really well- the only soldering required is the two rails forming the vee- but if you do that you can't have the correct pattern chairs (as far as I can see). posted: 12 Nov 2015 07:29 from: Hayfield Derek I totally agree with you, ply looks best especially if used with hand built plain track, it is also easier to adjust ply built track, if left 24 hours to dry out thoroughly you can get a blade under a chair to lift it off without damaging it. Do use Butanone or equivalent as you need an aggressive solvent to melt the chair into the grain of the ply For the novice the common thought is that soldered construction is the easiest method, so for most novices wishing ...
