401. Center Re-Rails
... on 18 Sep 2012 23:28 by Mark C posted: 2 Oct 2012 22:00 from: DM GuardRailREPW77.jpg Detail from old BR standard drawing showing the layout of rails at the start of a set of guard rails. Current from the 1950's to date. On bi directional lines there should be a set of collecting rails on both ends of the guard rails. The guard rails should extend about 60' off the bridge to be protected at both ends, but often don't. Up until a few years ago all the sleepers under the guard and collecting rails would have been timber. But in the last couple of years steel sleepers have become available for the guard rails, and concrete bearers for both guard and collecting rails.

... Sorry it is not a deffinitive answer, but possibly, it proves that on the ground whatever you do could be right. Wally. P S if anyone is worried about the state of the timbers these are survey shots taken before we relaid the complex. posted: 20 May 2012 11:55 from: Nigel Brown Don't have David Smith's book to hand the moment, but from reading through it in the past I formed the firm impression that the check rail on say a straight 1:7 would be fixed to 4 sleepers, not 5. And that's what I've done consistantly on my layout. Actual length of the rail may be something different.

... yard will only be erected for running sessions. The inner two lines are the 'up' and 'down' lines,the third outer most line entering the fiddle yard leads to an imaginery off scene goods yard and loco shed. The outer most line leads to an imaginery off scene harbour. There have been some slight changes made to the original design, timbers have been shoved and check rails adjusted. Working from what few pictures I have, and with a bit of artistic licence, I have tried to create N.B. interlaced sleepers. I would be grateful for any comments- good or bad.

I'll try it with just a point. posted: 14 Sep 2019 18:46 from: Tom Allen ok, i tried it with A3 size listed and it printed it within the limits of an A3 page.

... posted: 8 Jul 2020 23:30 from: Mike Kynaston Evening all,A friend on my local model society is looking to hand-build some track and during a video call last weekend we were talking about Templot. The chap concerned has a basic understanding of Templot, but this was getting beyond him, so I said I would try and help! Try being the optimum word I think between us, we have got the dimensions for 9mm gauge trackwork to 4mm scale set up correctly, with an approximation of the sleeper spacing, which from pictures looks to be closer at the rail joins than they are mid length. He is also working on 30 or 40ft lengths of rail. The attached box file is what he came up with to represent a small layout that is 6' x 18" wide. The question is, to Martin or those more knowledgeable than me, does this look right or have we got our figures wrong somewhere. Is there anything else that should be altered? Also, does Templot automatically adapt on different scales ...

Hi Alan, 2_151318_410000000.png 1. click timbering data.. to set the width of all sleepers and timbers on the control template. 2. click modify group to match to change the settings on some or all background templates to match the settings on the control template.. 3. if individual timbers need to be a different width, you can make them wider or narrower using the shove timbers functions. cheers, Martin. posted: 15 Jul 2020 22:38 from: Alan McMillan Thanks Martin.

409. Catch Points
... having a go at working things out and wondered if this is how to make a catch point. I made two identical templates and stripped away all unrequired components from one of them- until I was left with this Any good? Hi Alan, Templot is a tool to use any way you wish. Overlaying partial templates is one way to create a set of catch points -- and the only way if it falls within other pointwork. But overlaying on plain track isn't a good idea, because the timbering will be plain sleepers instead of wider timbers, and they will be at the wrong spacings for the special switch chairs. For a simple stand-alone set of catch points, all you need to do is shorten a turnout to the stock rail joints, and there is a pre-set function to do that. Most model catch points use short 9ft or "A" switches, but you can use any size you wish if you have space: 2_060840_100000000.png If you use the "shift& join" functions, they will snap onto ...

... and verse. See the narrow-gauge models on his web site at: http://www.pbhome.myzen.co.uk regards, Martin. posted: 15 Jun 2007 01:11 from: Peter Ayre Hi Martin, I have checked out Paul's site and looked at the finescale narrow gauge track standards, which appears to use a 0.5mm flangeway. I have also got some details of HOn30 which uses 6' x 7" x 5" scale timbers. But I'm not sure of the track centres. I think Peco OO9 track is 18mm sleepers on 10mm spacing but am not sure if this is the same for HOe. I may have to get someone to measure a piece of Tillig track.

... never noticed any problems on the main lines, in fact often new operators are not aware that there is a gradient. On the branch line we have occasionally run 6 of Tony's quite heavy coaches up the bank, although it does slow the loco down a bit. regards, Martin. Hi Martin, Sorry I was being a bit clumsy with my wording- what I should have said is that all we have on the layout is a couple of slight inclines on the dock branch (to do no more than bury the sleepers under a roadway. Mostyn on the prototype is dead level so there was never any need for us to explore the workability of gradients. We can, however, detect the change in a difficult train's performance if we do not level the boards carefully (e.g. a heavy rake of Mark 1s with a relatively weak loco). Dave Goodwin and I (and other members of our group) are very keen to come down and see Adavoyle Junction- Tony has already come to visit us at Barrowmore so we're overdue making ...
... to use but I don't know what the costs of this printing might be. Jim. posted: 20 Sep 2018 20:41 from: Rob Manchester Hi Jim, Thanks for your thoughts. I like to make all my layout track using seperate chairs except for fiddle yards and such like. Using flexitrack between custom P&C work never looks right when I try it. The issue of cost becomes more relevant then because you need around 200 chairs to make a yard of track in addition to 2 lengths of rail and sleepers. Luckily most of my future plans are for smaller layouts(....in case I don't stay around long enough to finish a big one) There is often an issue within hobbies such as ours in that many of the original protaganists have either moved on,left the hobby or are at the stage of life when development of new ideas is not a priority( you mentioned David White and Bob Wills, Brian Lewis is another, Bill Hudson, Bob Essery, David Jenkinson....the list gets longer). ...
... bits and pieces of my entire layout) in my existing plan. I might create a separate folder for this and create the desired lengths and curves with the desired timber dimensions and spacing. However my idea was more for (personal interest to speak frankly) to have a menu at the side like anyrail (old program i used for n scale)has or a "drop down menu" in your toolbar. Something like -- -> real--->plan track options--->rail lenght and sleeper spacing----> custom 1 to ??? But then something like for example(between real and geometry):--- .> costum/fixed templates--->strait/curved/diamond/switches/3way/crossover/ect--->lenght/radii/ect...klik and drag or add or fix to peg. In the photo i put two screens together as a example of what would be the prefect solution for me. And i suspect also for others that ...
... all an existing trackplan using the modify group to match function. Just to repeat that this option applies only to curviform V-crossings. Regular and generic V-crossings are not affected. regards, Martin. posted: 30 Aug 2017 11:27 from: Judi R 03:30? More midnight oil being burnt here Martin! When I served my apprenticeship in the P Way design office at Stephenson House all those years ago I remember being able to specify the rail spacing required for bespoke layouts, we always used standard sleeper spacing. I also remember being shown the pattern shop at Taylor Brothers' Sandiacre works where they had wooden patterns for every rail section they had ever had to use. They were able to adjust the spacing of the jaws for a double chair to suit. Of course, when vertical flatbottom design came along, we simply had to specify the overall width of the rail seat and we would specify a mid Pandrol clip housing whenever we could.

It could well replace 32mm as the common standard for all but the sharpest industrial turnouts and curves. regards, Martin. posted: 25 May 2007 21:48 from: Templot User === from Brian Lewis === Regarding the tight curves Martin, many folk seem to confine 31mm to the pointwork and continue to use 32mm for plain track. I tried this on a section of my own layout as a test- the transition from 31mm to 32mm being as short as 6 sleepers. It is quite unnoticeable to the eye and the stock performs faultless over the transition.

Nigel posted: 23 Sep 2020 08:24 from: Hayfield Paul, Rob and Nigel Thank you for the information, advice and heads up re the fine tracks.

... topic: 3789 Timbering of turnouts NA style posted: 2 Oct 2020 16:59 from: Jerry Goodwin Due to all the help you've been giving me, which I appreciate very much, I have my track arranged the way I want it, and the final thing I want to do is to fix my timbering. I found this thread here: Custom Timbering of Turnouts Is that still the best process to follow? What I am trying to accomplish is north american timbering style, i.e. same size of timbers as sleepers, and consistent spacing throughout, without particular regard for rail lengths. (Using flat bottom rail joined with fish plates that don't interfere with rail tie plates). Can I just set the rail length to something huge? I won't be actually modelling the fish plates as I can't see that well. I'm building a mix of hand-laid on templot templates with jig-built turnouts (and commercial flex track) and from three feet away what's visible is the sweep of the rails and regularity of the timber spacing, ...

A very clever and useful feature and I can see instantly how it helps unlock a lot of power in Templot. Also shove timbers looks like it could be very useful for those "hard to reach" places ;) I have to say that I love the way Templot tries to automatically space all the sleepers accurately, even the progression of spacing around track joins. That's going to make my track-work so much more accurate. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but a big thank you for putting this together for all of us! Ross. posted: 12 Aug 2020 01:38 from: Ross Tierney Oh, and the reason for the 32mm spacing is because I was advised that the standard spacing can have issues with longer coaches such as BR Mk3's (even bigger issue with Pendolino and Shinkansen).
