I've never had any problems working with both As a side issue, doesn't it scare you to think of all the different number bases we worked in when doing calculations in the old Imperial measures. The worst was probably weight with Base 20, Base 4, Base 8, Base 16, Base 14, or maybe it was distance with Base 12, Base 3, Base 22, Base 10 and Base 8.

Hi Paul, The problem there is that Templot does already use inches. When dimensions are in inches, Templot is referring to the prototype sizes -- timber spacings for example. When dimensions are in ...
... topic: 967 Two questions regarding two design concerns posted: 1 Nov 2009 02:52 from: William Adkins As I work through my layout design I've encountered two issues for which I could use advice: 1. I would like to make a right hand curved turnout. The outer radius would approximate 32" while the diverging radius would be 30". Is there a way to set each track's radius and then have Templot calculate the appropriate frog ratio, i.e. 1:10, 1:12, etc. for a defined scale and gauge? 2. Is there such a thing as an asymetrical wye turnout? As an example, a right hand diverging track at 32" radius and a left hand diverging radius of 30". If so, how would one create such a template using Templot? Thank you in advance for your help. Bill posted: 1 Nov 2009 03:28 from: Martin Wynne William Adkins wrote: 1.

... siding). However, as I've yet to lay track and everything else is ramrod-straight B6's, I thought this might be an interesting opportunity to re-work them if they fit into the rest of the geometry. Option 1 is to leave them as-is. Option 2 is to replace them with B8 turnouts which works, but neccesitates an S-curve on the carriage road to bring it out to the correct separation (to be honest, this may be required anyway- I gather it would require a 10' way as opposed to the 6' way?) Option 3 is to adjust the geometry with a more 'custom' layout. Option 3 is something that Martin W. suggested using contraflexed (! ?) turnouts to maintain the geometry and spacing, but it's way over my head. I would be grateful for any advice or help- I have attached the plan with Option 2 in-situ, but as long as the top/rearmost track centre of formation A remains at roughly 15 to 16" and formation ...

Had a 3x2 N Gauge railway back in the day, and a shed with OO layout at my grandparents. When I was a member of my local club, and access to their library. I found a diagram of a layout I like, to make my own layout. Entry exit tunnels, goods yard, and main line operations. I want to use N Gauge GF stock, but custom track. No way Peco can make natural looking layouts. Recently found some old photos which really gave me what I need to see how it looked. Here is a couple. 43e042e20647a2d60012e447214bc442.p ng 53796800f247807755bccfdfedf6c4b2.j pg 1dfb17037ac88cd0190b299417f5a614.j pg Last edited on 10 Oct 2017 06:28 by Damien Morris Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... is operating under the same banner currently. So you will not find them at Scaleforum. Our web site- http://www.timbertracks.co.uk will find them. The LSWR Timber Tracks track bases are produced from prototype drawings so, assuming Templot has done the same, then there should be nothing more than a modest tweaking to do. But do consider that Martin must make Templot generic, rather than specific, bearing in mind the number of railways that worked to their own designs.

410. EM Gauge options
... 18.83mm gauge as a sort of religious belief, but who can't manage to get the fine P4 standards to work. As with H0, EM4 breaks the golden rule that exact-scale gauge needs exact-scale wheel-widths -- otherwise the wheels won't fit behind scale-width valve gear, inside scale-width splashers, axleboxes, etc. I think EM4 is a daft idea, but it's there as a pre-set for those who want it. cheers, Martin. posted: 29 Jan 2019 04:10 from: Andrew Duncan Hello Rob and Martin I wasn't aware of this standard (EM SF)and it sounds interesting as the crossings are more than half towards P4 which for me is P4s biggest visual benefit, that and super smooth running when well executed. Does anyone do a set of gauges for the EM SF standard and what do you feel the downsides are?

411. When to upgrade?
... .9? I ask this because I notice that some of the videos have commands not present in .74b. 2. This is nothing to do with Templot itself, but a more general question about 00 trackwork. I am attracted to 00-SF because the reduced flange ways look much better, and I'm inclined to believe running will be better than 00-?? (so long as B to Bs are monitored). But what is the cost in usable radii? Given that I have a penchant for 8- and 10-coupled heavy freight locos, what would be a sensible minimum – 36", 30", or something much more P4-like? Should I stick to 00-BF where presumably I could go down to 30" comfortably. 3. What method of track construction to employ? I'm not asking what is best (ply and rivet, pcb, or ply and chair. Any others....?) but essentially which is quickest? I suspect ply and rivet is slower than the others, and ...
... pairs of fishplates (2 bolt both plain, 3 bold 1 x plain& 1 x reinforced. Phil is considering when funds are available to produce 00 scale check rail chairs and a universal turnout special chair sprue. These are in the thought stage at the moment I keep banging on but with chaired track chopped up chairs usually look like chopped up chairs, rail joiners again look like rail joiners The Exactoscale diagrams& plans contradict themselves. An A switch has 2 bridge chairs, a B switch has 6 and a C switch 10 Looking at common crossings a 1-5 crossing has 1 bridge chair, a 1-6 has 3. a 1-7 has 5, a 1-8 has 2, But to make these crossings and switches look even better they have block chairs and extended slide chairs as well as slab chairs on the crossing nose. To be fair a reasonable representation of some of the crossing block chairs can be made by splicing 3 standard chairs together. But given the length some modelers go to in detailing their stock I ...

414. Pug progress report
... a screenshot showing Templot Sketchbook in use: sketchbook_draft.png I have zoomed and resized it to match the underlying track plan on the pad. The yellow scales top and left show the actual printed page size. In this example the area is 260mm wide by 180mm high, i.e. an easy fit on A4 or US Letter paper in landscape format. The blue scales bottom and right show the actual model size, matching the pad scales. By comparing scales you can see that the track plan was output (in diagram mode) at 10% of full size. Note that the yellow vertical scale originates from top left, in the usual way for printed matter. Whereas the blue scale originates from bottom left in the usual engineering style (matching the grid on the pad). What, if anything, I could or should do about this anomaly has had me scratching my head a lot recently. Templot Sketchbook is based around a component developed by Nils Haeck in the Netherlands. Unfortunately Nils suffered a brain injury in a serious horse-riding accident in November ...
... Palmer wrote: I didn't alter the carriage line and shunting neck clearances as these already provided more than the standard six foot. Hi John, The standard for those is 10ft way (60.67mm centres) from a running line. Or 9ft way minimum, 56.67mm centres, where space constraints make it unavoidable -- for example between bridge parapets. However, often on a model we have our own space constraints. Martin. posted: 17 Jul 2017 20:45 from: John Palmer Yes, I thought I had adopted the 10' spacing both between running line and carriage line and between carriage line and neck, but on re-visiting this I find that I must have adopted a rather smaller value close to nine foot- can't now recall why I did so. I admit to having been lazy this time and not opening out the spacing of these tracks! posted: 20 Jul 2017 02:43 from: d827kelly Thanks for all your assistance and comments.

... topic: 3044 OOn3 track comparision posted: 14 Jul 2017 16:33 from: Dr G Alan Gee I model Irish 3ft narrow gauge in 4mm scale on 12mm track. I have used Peco HOm track in the past. peco points are 20 inch (508mm) radius with a V angle of 10 degrees. The distance from the bottom of the V to the tie bar is 105mm. The nearest point to this I have tried to draw with Templot is a B6. this has a similar radius of 566mm but the length from V to tie bar is 134mm and the V angle is larger. My question is why are the Peco points more compact and what do I have to do with Templot to produce something similar ie shorter in length but with a 20 inch radius. posted: 14 Jul 2017 17:16 from: stuart1600 Hello, Alan (since you didn't sign your posting I'm guessing that's appropriate) You've hit on the fundamental difference between Templot and train-set type pointwork- the latter has to be manufactured to a fixed ...

I know there are no catch points on the goods line (the top two) but I'm going to give partial templates a miss for the moment.
