... topic: 2198 90 Degree Diamond Crossing posted: 14 Apr 2013 10:56 from: R C Lake I am trying to do a 90 degree diamond crossing, but Templot says it does not support anything less than 1:1.5. I guess I could just build it without a template, but one of the roads is curved, so it would be slightly awkward without a template. It would be nice to know if it is possible to draw in Templot, if it is not too difficult. posted: 14 Apr 2013 12:32 from: Martin Wynne Hi R C, Sorry, short-angle crossings are not directly supported in Templot. There are some relevant notes here: topic 160 regards, Martin. posted: 14 Apr 2013 17:21 from: R C Lake Thanks Martin. I am sure that with gauges and a bit of common sense, I can construct one without an accurate drawing. Grateful for the reply. posted: 14 Apr 2013 22:46 from: Tony W Hi RC. What scale/ ...
... topic: 3163 Single Slips- straight and curved roads posted: 28 Dec 2017 10:10 from: Philip Griffiths Hello, I'm trying to create the track plan for Ebbw Vale HL station. Pictures can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan_lord/sets/72157628510926699 The second picture down shows the station in Victorian times. There are others but this shows the single slip that gave access from the running lines to the goods shed. One line is straight but the other from the siding that parallels the platform is curved so that it joins the goods shed line, which then goes through an arch on the bridge. I've produced the slip as if the line siding line was straight, but do not know how to curve it. regards Philip Griffiths Attachment: attach_2603_3163_Ebbw_Vale_cut.jpe g 357 posted: 28 Dec 2017 11:48 from: Martin Wynne Hello Philip, Welcome to Templot Club.

The diamond then becomes an ordinary regular-pattern diamond-crossing. diamond created by pegging crossover roads onto CESP (on a curved scissors this is better than using the branch track function). 2_261142_240000000.png 2_261155_120000000.png File attached below.

I for one would like to say thanks very much for this. I have been pondering over a problem with a courved double slip where there isn't really enough room for the blade tips to move. I keep comming back to look at this and though it would probably take up more space and require a redesign of the surrounding section of track, I ...
... topic: 2162 Problem with an e-mail from Templot Club posted: 17 Feb 2013 10:28 from: John Shelley Not a problem in Templot itself, but in the e-mail from Templot Club. I choose to receive an e-mail of each message as it is posted and this morning whilst reading Paul's reply (Message 14388) to Martin's message (Message 14386) I was intrigued by a reference to a possible video card problem as Martin's message, as received by me, didn't include such a reference. I checked the Templot Club site and compared the message there with the one that I had received and there was a section missing from my received one. Screenshot of my received message follows. 99_170520_450000000.png I have added an indicator to the missing section which was a second quote from Paul's first message followed by Martin's comments on it. Did any e-mail recipient get the full message? Cheers for now, John from 33820 St Ciers sur Gironde posted: 17 Feb 2013 10:43 from: John Shelley John Shelley ...

426. Track bed Width
... I have to play with when using screws to secure the trackbed to the riser. I also use the additional width of the trackbed as a support structure where you have tracks at different levels and may use retaining walls or a scenic cutting between the two levels. Changing the width of the trackbed means more thought has to go into how scenic elements are supported. As I said, I do have a work round, but it would be a 'nice to have option' from a woodworking perspective. posted: 24 Feb 2017 10:00 from: Jubilee42 Hi Martin in the very useful video you stuck on Gordons ET blog several years ago http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/3422-eastwood-town-a -fresh-start/page-2 you showed how to do this, but I can't find the feature in 2.14a. Has it moved? posted: 24 Feb 2017 10:25 from: Gordon S Trackbed widths etc are still there in 2.14a. They're under 'geometry' and then trackbed edges. ...
... where they are worked by hand levers they may have separate levers for each set of blades -- this makes the levers easier to work, of course. In some designs of double slip it is not physically possible to drive them separately because there is insufficient room between the wing rails to have both blades open simultaneously. *I can't believe I wrote "always", but I honestly don't know of any case of an interlocked slip with separate drives. But someone will. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Nov 2010 10:24 from: JFS Martin Wynne wrote: *I can't believe I wrote "always", but I honestly don't know of any case of an interlocked slip with separate drives.

Well, you did ask for it Martin- but the reality is that practice varied from company to company, and guess what, the GWR *always* linked "double compounds" the other way- that is, when a slip was ...
428. Web design blues
... design, you know the sort of thing -- something that says it was created by someone with a bit more visual sense than this oily-fingered engineer. At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I like the Templot web site as it is. I don't really see that there is much to be gained by making it more 'stylish'. It conveys the information it needs to in a way that I find easy to find my way around. Thats all the 'style' I need.

431. LSWR Turnouts
... 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.

432. Panel lengths

The sleepers will then be closed up towards the joint, 12" to the first sleeper and then mostly by eye in the remaining space. cheers, Martin. posted: 25 Jul 2020 14:36 from: Graham Long Martin What I am getting at is, as an example, if the length of track was say a 100' and panel lengths were normally 45' how would this be handled? eg would there be 2 x 45 plus a 10'. Is there a minimum length that would used eg 20'? So in this case for example would 2x 40' plus a 20' length. I suppose, as you say, this depends on the railway company.

436. 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 ...
