... topic: 2910 Curved Double Junction posted: 8 Aug 2016 17:10 from: leswaters I am currently designing a large O gauge garden railway. It is very nearly there thanks to the fantastic help I have had from this group, However, I am having trouble with one last junction. If you can imagine a double track oval with a minimum radius of 8 feet, I would like to create a double junction off one of the curved ends of the double track. It does not matter what size turnouts or diamonds are required but I am unsure about how the diamond is created. Does it have to be curviform due to the asymmetrical nature of the curves? So far everything I have tried tends to create radii that are smaller than the minimum 8 foot I want to use. Regards Les posted: 9 Aug 2016 12:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Les, Is the double-junction diverging towards the outside of the oval or towards the inside? If the inside, it will not be possible to have an 8ft radius ...
... etc) and then" insert" the crossovers and other turnouts. Or( b) start with the central track work and proceed to work left and right adding turnouts as I go etc. This is about templot, not about how I lay the actual track. My main issue is to get the main trackwork in place in Templot, to confirm my baseboard dimensions, but I want to avoid as much as possible the reiteration that occurs when you move something on a large design.

Any tips or alterations I'd love to hear your views. nb the open point at the top of the plan is like that intentionally as it will lead to a lower level fiddle yard.

You've made some rapid progress there! I noticed that in a few places you have made diamond-crossings where the crossing angle differs between the two half-diamonds. That will produce a dog-leg in the diagonal road through the K-crossings. Getting diamonds to run nicely is always tricky in 00, so it's best to keep the same angle both ends. That's easy to do -- starting with one of the half- ...

... of 1000mm: rad_at_peg.png You can find the radius at any position along the transition by moving the peg along it (CTRL+ F8 mouse action). A convenient reference to the printed template would be to record the radius at each rail joint, which you can do by jumping the peg along the joints using CTRL+ END keys.

389. Trackbed edge
... . I will look at doing that for the next update, which I'm hoping to have ready in the next few days. For a typical single track railway, the formation would be 15ft wide between each cess, the cess/drain being 2ft-6in wide on each side, giving a total width of 20ft. These dimensions can vary, the formation may be wider, in which case the bottom of the ballast shoulder may not reach to the edge of the formation. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Oct 2012 10:31 from: Ray Hughes Martin Thanks once again for your response. I've printed off the templates for the whole layout with the trackbed edge marked. I've cut round the templates on this mark, drawn a line around the edge of the cut template. I cut the cork tile underlay to this mark for the fiddle yard where scenery will not be a problem. I just wondered whether anyone had an easy way of marking the other side of the cess on the templates so that they can then be trimmed again in ...

... the radius a bit tighter at 49"): 2_041411_240000000.png I moved the turntable about 2mm to the right to make it all fit. cheers, Martin. posted: 5 Feb 2018 00:28 from: John Palmer Yes, that works well to get a better flow. I have attached a further boxfile incorporating these changes and a couple more. I have upped the turntable diameter to 60', which I think was the correct size, and checked that the spur can indeed accommodate a Seven, which was 58' 10" over buffers. Unfortunately this starts to push the turntable pit too far to the north-west, so that it almost encroaches into the bund which marked the western boundary of this part of the yard. Things are made even more difficult by the fact that the exit crossover from the locomotive spur to Up Main was taken out before closure, making Down Branch the only means of access to the table, with the spur becoming a kickback off the access track from the branch having no other connections. There appears to ...
... photos I have. Once again thanks for Templot. Without this I wouldn't have even attempted this kind of trackwork. The pointwork is a mixture of B6.5s and B7.5s and the tightest radii is iirc 45.7" with the highest coming in around the 85" mark. The tight knitting of the points in the sidings was only possible with handbuilt track, and doesn't actually take up that much room, which is perfect.

It seems you had a good day out with it. I think you may have set some sort of record with the first public showing of a layout in 00-SF. Which is pretty amazing for me to see, after the idea lay dormant for so long. When I added "EM minus 2" to the gauge list in Templot 10 years ago, and called it 00-SF, it was ...

The plan is around 14M x 8M (not all will be modelled!), and some of the platform road templates are around 4.5M long.

... topic: 2123 Creating a crossover between 2 existing parallel tracks posted: 17 Dec 2012 10:39 from: r_wilton I know how to create a crossover using the >tools>make simple crossover but i get stuck trying to create a crossover between two existing tracks spaced at say 100mm apart. I usually try to guestimate the position of the second turnout.

RegardsRay. posted: 17 Dec 2012 11:01 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ray, If you know the spacing exactly, say 100mm: 1. insert a turnout in one of the tracks. 2. tools> adjacent track centres... and enter 100mm for the TS spacing. 3. tools> make simple crossover. That will give you the rail geometry, but the timbering will not be very prototypical. A proper prototypical wide crossover needs a bit more work. There is a video about creating a wide crossover ...
... laughed at as a serious suggestion, but it actually worked very well. And for items such as a cattle dock or engine shed, it had the advantage that they moved with the track if it was modified or repositioned. Using dummy templates for curved baseboard edges is an established method, and there is even an option to display them in the same style as the background shapes: 2_130853_390000000.png which can get confusing if you forget that they are not actually in the BGS file. p.s. Templot works to 80-bit (10-byte) extended precision for the track design. That's how straight track can be represented as a radius of 62 miles (in the model) and still work in the curve calculations. The sketchboard engine uses 32-bit precision. cheers, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2018 22:28 from: Tony W Tony W wrote: Hi Martin.

... topic: 2012 Name labels moving unexpectedly? posted: 10 Jul 2012 22:48 from: dave turner Hi perhaps someone could explain whether the following is expected behaviour or not. I have been experimenting with creating slips and took advantage of the arrange name labels function in order to make it easy to select partial templates. I notice however that once I select a partial template again the label immediately moves to a random position whether or not any changes are made to the template. I have found this irritating as I have to rearrange the labels repeatedly. Have I missed something? regards Dave posted: 10 Jul 2012 23:18 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, No, you haven't missed anything. The control template doesn't have a label, so when you delete a background template to the control template, the label position data is lost. There is a setting at main> program panel> program> template name labels> to control the initial label position, but that doesn't take any account of any previous position. The functions to arrange ...
