... is a dotted line on the switch drawing and a definitive text entry which is then directly contradicted by the examples posted- which definitely don't attach to the stretcher bar. posted: 19 Oct 2017 18:06 from: Martin Wynne Tim Lee wrote: You wouldn't happen to have a picture or diagram of how detection worked...another hole in my knowledge! I assume that Monsal Dale being mainline would have had detection in 1902? Hi Tim, Here is a scan from Raynar Wilson, 1904. This is the combined "economical" facing point lock and detector used on the MR. It is interesting that the detector rod is attached to only one switch blade, and there is no detection of the lock position. I see Mick Nicholson has posted a similar scan on RMweb while I was scanning this. 2_191301_420000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 19 Oct 2017 18:26 from: Tim Lee may be a stupid question... but is detection only required on facing points? posted: 19 Oct 2017 19:06 from: Martin Wynne ...
... become facing crossovers and need facing-point locks. Your track plan looks a bit odd as it stands, and makes more sense in the original: The bay platform road was presumably used for departures only? Martin. Hi Martin and Bill, Many L&Y branch termini were built with double track, yet a single platform on the down (arrival) line. Arriving trains have no facing turnouts, and departing trains have only the one turnout, on the crossover from down to up line. This is a fantastically economical arrangement, and whilst it is true that some lines were worked as single lines with the (usually up) road out of regular use and deployed for storing old coaching stock, used only on summer excursions, I am not aware of any arranged with facing point access to the platform for incoming trains, but welcome being proved wrong. That's not a bay as such: it's a goods road with access from the platform, for the loading of such things as the products of the mills. Hope that helps: it ...
... topic: 1655 Admin -- Web site problems posted: 16 Oct 2011 13:01 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, Apologies for the slow page response times on Templot Club at present. The problems are caused by congestion at the hosting provider. Jim has been expanding his hosting company and now unfortunately finds himself with more hosting commitments than his internet link can easily handle. This is always a gamble, because the only way it makes economic sense is to assume that not all of your customers will want to connect at exactly the same instant. Specifically, some customers which were formerly on leased servers elsewhere have now been brought in-house, some existing customers have been extremely successful and needed extra web capacity, and earlier this year Jim acquired another small hosting company and transferred their customers to his own servers. Jim is apologetic about this, part of the problem is that some faulty equipment (now replaced) failed to record traffic peaks accurately and he was unaware of the true situation developing. Some relief may be possible in the short ...
... I saw it when it first appeared, but now, on second viewing, appreciated it more from having worked through the tutorial as well. I would now recommend a "nice sandwich" of video-track tutorial- video. The tutorial and flash video each compliment the other nicely and reinforce my opinion that a "complete rewrite for TDV" is undesirable until such time as none of the earlier versions are in use (will that ever be the case?) Retaining the tutorial with brief TDV notes is probably the most economical way forward. A "match the video" tutorial for TDV could be added later when time permits.

... -) Yes and no, the other dimension that you have missed is quality of service. If I phone up to ask a question, I expect to get an honest answer not a threat of a law suit, if I phone up because something didn't fit right, or a part was missing, I expect good customer service, not a law suit. Your quality can be the best in the world, but if your public relations and customer service lets you down, then you go out of business, its basic economics. It also remains, that in all your efforts to dispel this myth in this post, you have spoken at length about legal avenues, but you have not yet mentioned what the bachmann loco that had issues is, I don't have much stock, but there is a small probability I might own that item. You have also not given any indication that your track is NEM complaint, something that I mentioned in my second post in this thread. Regardless of how your comments were intended, some might consider that perhaps ...

... and obtuse crossings are reinforced by 'copperclad fibreglass strips 1mm thick' C&L code 7ZC101A@ £3.24 a pack of (I think) 10 strips. A strip is not long enough to make a sleeper, but my first pack has gone a long way. I've just now ordered another couple of packs although I have a enough left to finish the crossover on hand. My experience of the strip is that it does the job just fine (after all it is made for it!)solders easily and is very economical for the amounts I use per point. To be honest, unless you are soldering a brass strip across the rails between the sleepers, in which case almost anything will do, I'd spend a few pennies and stop searching.

... topic: 3838 exporting to pdf for commercial printing posted: 22 Dec 2020 09:57 from: David Beale I need to get my track plan printed out commercially as it is large (8mx4m). I assume it is best to convert it to pdf and then send it to somewhere for printing. A couple of questions. Do in need to set up the sheet size and orientation, e.g. A1, or continuous plotter, before making the pdf, or does the person doing the printing decide the best/most economical way of doing it? When it is being printed, does the person printing need to calibrate the printer, or do I just accepted as it is (probably pretty accurate)? posted: 22 Dec 2020 13:41 from: stuart1600 I started a thread on this back in 2017; I'm sure the advice will still stand: topic 2983 The most important thing is to tell the printer to have his machine set to 100%- and if s/he argues go somewhere else!! posted: 22 Dec ...
