... an uncommon arrangement all the published information I've seen on Corfe suggests the second road paralleled the goods shed road without any connection, which may be correct for its last days in public service. Altho' it's an OS map (?) I have occasionally seen maps where the surveyor's site notes have not been correctly interpreted by the cartographical draftsman back at the office. Bishop's Castle station is one such. Ian Not that uncommon, no, the L& Y used it in several places. In addition to what I wrote a few minutes ago about measurement of the platforms, if you align Google on the same orientation as the map, the goods shed, as it is now, appears to be aligned differently. Not much, but enough to make it more parallel to the siding alongside/through it and that brings up another point. I've recently been researching Dewsbury Market Place Station and the 1:2500 OS map bears a similarity to photos taken in the same year as the survey, but that's all. Track alignments slightly off, an obvious ...
402. Control Panel
... topic: 1045 Control Panel posted: 12 Feb 2010 19:11 from: Dellboy Hi there There are quite a few suggestions around on how to make a track circuit diagram for a track control panel or how to produce one for a lever frame panel. Below for interest is my attempt using M/S Excel which I have not seen used before. The result is a professional looking diagram. It can be adjusted to any size for printing and mounted under a perspex sheet for protection.

... has already been said keep any explanation within the "video" window, having to look away, in my view, merely interrupts viewing and could lead to a small but important detail being missed. In my browser, Firefox, it just kept on repeating. Is that what you intended? Is it possible to make it stop after a single showing with a user controlled option to leave "Got it" or see it again "Replay". As to explanation, maybe a title page could be added, just a few words to describe what is about to be shown, or am I just getting carried away with the bells and whistles, I don't wish to add to your workload.

404. Servos for Turnouts
... bounces- next week or so hopefully (of course you can use it for turnouts etc) too but you won't need an expensive setting box as it will come with a bundled PC (MS Windows) program, full details of all this and more are on my website. I didn't mention this before because the original post was trackwork related rather than anything to do with signals. Of course CBUS will be along from MERG hopefully, more fully developed, next year ready to do all this and more (possibly needing a few tweaks) but that's a thread for another place (Mergcbus Group on Yahoo or MERG's Cbus forum).

I thought the plural question came up a few years back and it was thought that mouse was the singular and mice the plural.

406. Newbie - Chair Types
... want/need. I intend for one layout to consume most of my 6x5.5m "train room". The layout/s built will reside at my house here in Australia and are not intended for exhibition. Most people in Australia would not have a clue whether the track looked right for the UK. EM+ P4 are out due to rewheeling time and costs as well as not meeting the goal of allowing visiting stock. I have a very large anount of stock and other than getting rid of some plastic wheels on a few things- rewheeling is out. Cosmetic chairs sound like what I will look to do but I get back to- I would not know one from another other than plain chairs and slide chairs or where to get them. I asked about cosmetic chairs in another forum and got bah Humbug type responses. So I thought that if I new what I ws looking at then I would be part way to finding what I need.

Im stuck though i,ve been watching the tutorials& on the laying track over rough sketch tutorial when it comes to curving it is showing that a f10 on the keys is used to create a curve swelling. How do i adjust my key settings so i can do the same?? I,ve upgraded to the latest version of templot becuase alote of the newer videos seem to be done on this so i thought im best doing the same.

... : 10 Aug 2010 12:08 from: grog_polymer Thanks guys, I swapped the track segment end for end so the datum moved and now the transition works as expected thanks. Sorry for difficult to understand descriptions. I know I read somewhere not to use curviform tunouts for crossings as you would get an instantaneous change from positive to negative radius. I think it tells you when you try to do it. Imagine a loco travelling east on the loop and down to the platform. This road is curved. There is a few sleepers worth of straight track then an REA semi curved with it's regionsof straight. So we have a curved turnout road ending in about 8 or 9 sleepers of straight before another curve. So I guess the other way of looking at this is" REA Semi Curved" to "REA Semi Curved" at a crossing- ok. Curviform to Curviform at a crossing- NO Here we have the continuously curved road of the loop crossing to works turnout, followed by a speck of straight, and an REA Semi Curved branch ...
... use the same BGS file for several different BOX file track plans.

It is a very nicely designed( and reasonably compact) plan for a garage/large spare room that would suit quite a few people's needs for a layout. BTW I have just tried converting Downingham from EM to EM-SF. I had thought there would be a slight error in alignment downstream of any turnouts due to the 0.2mm gauge difference and that appears to be the case but otherwise it looks good. Is there anything else likely to introduce small errors in alignment when converting like this? << <Insert nudge about the Template name labels warning message>>>> Rob posted: 14 Nov 2019 23:42 from: Martin Wynne ...

411. Not quite Ogbourne
... topic: 3657 Not quite Ogbourne posted: 5 May 2020 00:38 from: Richard Brummitt I've been plodding on with this over a number of evenings and finally have something that I'm happy to share for constructive criticism. Hopefully I've attached the correct file. A few points: The real place is pretty straight through the station but to create sufficient space for the bay platform I have put in a transition curve after the curviform turnout from the mainline The yard is much shorter than in reality for the later yard with just two sidings. It is closer in length to the original yard with 3 sidings where one siding faced in the other (southerly) direction, like a headshunt?, towards the hamlet. The layout is limited to 600mm in length but the plan is more than 600mm long. The ends will protrude into the off stage area. I've left them a bit raggedy as that can be cleared up 'on-site'. The turnouts are meant to be to earlier GWR switch and crossing practice and have had adjustments made as best ...

... topic: 3489 changes in version 223b posted: 19 Aug 2019 02:31 from: Martin Wynne Here is a summary of the changes in Templot update version 223b, released 10th July 2019. Despite the long interval since the last update this is mainly a maintenance update to fix some bugs. There are only a few function changes this time. That's because I'm mostly working on the 3-D DXF export for chairs and 3-D printing. It's proving a slow and daunting process. So much so that this update is actually a retrograde step in that the existing 3-D option for DXF exports is temporarily disabled (no change to 2-D DXF exports). I didn't want to wait any longer to release an update, and spend time reverting the work in progress. If anyone specifically needs the previous 3-D DXF export in the meantime please continue to use 219b, and defeat the internet check by means of the method given at: topic 3337 But there are a few changes in this update: 1.

415. EM Gauge options
... topic: 3380 EM Gauge options posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:35 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Hope you are well. Would you take a minute or two to briefly explain the background to the EM-SF and EM4 options in the Templot gauge list. There was some correspondence in Model Railway Journal recently ago but the few recent MRJ's I have aren't the right ones for me to refer to. I have plans for some small cameo layouts that may be good choices for experimenting. Regards Rob posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:37 from: Martin Wynne Rob Manchester wrote: Hope you are well.

Both these options were added to Templot after some correspondence on the forums, but I can't remember which ones or when, sorry. Both are derived from the existence of 0.8mm check rail chairs from Exactoscale, which the Exactoscale web site ...

417. Turnout chair plans
... topic: 3625 Turnout chair plans posted: 2 Mar 2020 21:22 from: Ian Bunch Currently I'm plugging along, honing my track-building skills for the 40th time. I'm building a small fiddle yard for starters but using ply sleepers and plastic chairs. I've bought a few common crossing chair sets via the EMGS but I don't have a reference for where they all go. I've seen a plan with them marked on but don't know where it was from. Does anyone have a link to the information? I can identify some of the bits but not enough to be confident.

BTW, why the (to me) peculiar track layout to the south of the station where two separate lines appear to leave the station and split apart, but eventually come back together again to form, one track.

420. Shoving Timers
... I think you might do better to change to equalized incremental style. For NER/LNER you have probably got 4 or 5 too many long timbers, it is more likely that the plain track sleepers would be interlaced between the normal length timbers. A lot depends on the location and traffic. If this double track is part of the fast ECML, square-on apart from the middle section of the slip, and plenty of long timbers. If it's goods lines, loops, or in a yard, equalized and very few long timbers. cheers, Martin. posted: 17 Apr 2018 22:50 from: johndon Cheers Martin, it's part of the east end of Newcastle Central Station so I'll go with equalized and few long timers.
