... simply construction aids, to being full descriptive drawings. Bear in mind that for wider than scale model flangeways, for good tracking through K-crossings the check rail bends need to be as sharp as possible, to maximize the checked length. This differs from the situation with the wing-rail knuckle bends in V-crossings. Fortunately, unlike the wing rails, REA check rails are always vertical, which makes it much easier to make sharp bends than in inclined rail. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Jul 2018 08:32 from: richard_t Thanks Martin With so much else going on here, I'm refraining from looking at the Templot codebase, however tempting the prospect is.

... topic: 3294 Traversa at the end of a platform posted: 21 Jun 2018 08:38 from: Hayfield I am about to proceed to build a small 7 mm scale layout at home, will be a tiny branchline terminus to run my SR and GWR locos and stock, one space saving thought is rather than have a turnout close to the end as a run around, is to build a traversa. I see Noch (I think) does one in H0 scale which pivots at one end, It would be simple to build, as in practice similar to a segment of a turntable (pivoting at the end rather than the middle).

One of my planned 7mm cameo layouts will have well aged track and I need to get my head round the level of wear/ageing to use on the timber parts.

... 01:17 from: Nigel Brown Tricky business. I find that Romford 1/8" washers are sometimes a bit tight; the best way to ease them is with a round file as you've suggested, but the amount needing taking off is small. If you have more to take off, can't you find larger washers? What diameter hole are you looking for? Is it the 2mm or 3mm you mentioned?

... from: Nigel Brown Interesting. Wonder if it will be compatible with existing EM track components from other manufacturers. Nigel posted: 5 Nov 2018 20:40 from: Rob Manchester EM gauge made by Peco, now that is good news Wonder if the EMGS specified 2,3 or 4 bolt chairs? How do we persuade Bachmann, Hornby, Heljan and Dapol to offer the option of EM wheels? Probably as likely as a supermarket giving us healthy ready meals.... Rob posted: 5 Nov 2018 21:08 from: Nigel Brown So long as the locos are readily convertable think that's the best one can hope for. Ultrascale seem to have no problem with producing conversions for various manufacturers. Although, thinking about it, maybe a ready to run job would have attractions. I believe Airfix and Mainline did originally consider EM. Need to run on trainset curves probably put paid to it. posted: 7 Nov 2018 07:44 from: Hayfield Rob Manchester wrote: EM gauge made by Peco, now that is good news Wonder ...

... Occasionally something does leave a big gap; the successors to Blacksmiths Models and Coopercraft seem to have effectively hit the buffers. But by no means always. Nigel Hello, Well Templot would continue and people who wanted to build track would have to use the Brook-Smith method or use 3D printing to make their own stuff. Things progress despite the odds and new methods appear over the horizon whatever people may say or think. Regards, Hi Trevor That's effectively what I was saying.

And why no other anti-virus programs agree? cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Jan 2018 19:04 from: polybear Hi Martin/Rob, Many thanks; I did consider using Windows Defender as it was pre-loaded on a new laptop, but after a bit of research decided that Norton offers some additional protection not offered by Defender. And at twenty quid for a five-user licence (and some pc's/tablets don't run with Windows 10) it wasn't too high a price to pay. Now the good news: I submitted the problem to Norton and after a couple of days they came back with the following: "We have manually analyzed the below domain and found it to be clean. So we have modified its rating to green in safeweb.norton.com".- I can now access the Templot Forum without problem So it's official: Martin isn't a Big Bad Wolf ...
... suitable rocker crank linkages). It will be money well-spent to avoid derailments on these junctions. The trailing crossover at C is using B-8s as in your previous design, but there is plenty of room there to make them C-10s, which would look better.

478. 'Slewing' curves
... topic: 3198 'Slewing' curves posted: 26 Jan 2018 16:52 from: johndon Apologies in advance if slewing isn't the correct term but I'm gradually getting to grips with Templot and have a question about the following plan: 2828_261151_010000000.png Based on the map, it appears that the track needs to be 'dragged down' in the centre to conform with the plan but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this? John posted: 26 Jan 2018 17:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, For that you need the swell mouse action. See: http://templot.com/companion/swell_function_ctrl_f10.php Looking at your plan it is probably not a single radius. Instead of using swell you could start with the turnout, make branch track from it, curve the branch track to the line, and then make transition to the existing straight track. For an example of this process, see: http://templot.com/companion/link_existing.php That keeps everything aligned, whereas swell takes the ends of the template out of ...
