... until they were experienced enough not to need it. However there are some notes about tandem turnouts here: topic 2394- message 16119 There is also a very old video which needs updating and may be more hindrance than help: http://templot.com/martweb/videos/3_way_tandem.exe I will try to create a new tutorial/video for tandems, but I am still waiting for inspiration on how to tackle it without getting hopelessly bogged down in all the options and conflicts. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Oct 2017 10:19 from: madscientist Thanks. My requirement is basically a symmetrical( or very nearly symmetrical tandem) Any help is very much appreciated.

... topic: 1917 Help needed with Tandem posted: 10 Apr 2012 07:50 from: its_all_downhill Hi all, I have been happily using Templot for some time now and have managed to become relatively proficient with it at least to my needs, but I still have one stumbling block that has gotten the better of me at every attempt! Tandems.... So this Easter weekend I set out to overcome this problem. Setting up 2 laptops so that I could view on one and do on the other, following the tandem video that Martin created. I even wrote out the steps from the video so that I could see each command before using it. I have attached my box file for your perusal and have managed to get as far as placing the third crossing on the the k crossing. Please excuse the ignorance of technical terminology as I have so far happily used Templot in blissful prototypical ignorance. Couple of points that may help me to understand the makeup of the tandem is.. is the creation of the 3rd x-ing ...

To get round this, in the file download box towards the bottom and centred there is a page link called" http" in blue, If you right click on this and open a new TAB you will then see a new list of file type downloads with no Google attachment, it's downhill from there!

... reset with the other derived settings. You may not believe this but I don't think I have ever used F5. I use the menu settings for crossing angle and switch type which is why my track plans are probably littered with daft crossing/switch sizes. Another lesson learned...the single sided tandem looks fine when starting with a D-12 although to be honest I could go back to the original track plan and use a turnout of the same overall length as my B-12 such as a C-10. Visually much better. Thanks for looking at this and jogging some sense into me.

... explain exactly what they think is a threat on that page. 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 after all, more of a cuddly puppy Brian posted: 22 Jan 2018 19:14 from ...
... topic: 2627 Maximum cant at slow speed (with cinder ballasted track) posted: 7 Feb 2015 18:33 from: DerekStuart Another one of my obscure questions... I have built a test/ photo plank. It has a 10 chain curve with checkrail. To make it fit in the required space it doesn't have a transition zone- but it's for photos/test not running. I have checked a cant/speed table that was pointed out to me by a resident of this good parish (though I cannot recall who-sorry) and a 10 chain with 5.5 inch cant gives a speed limit of 30MPH. However, it has been suggested to me that this table would only apply to stone ballasted track and that on a cinder/ash ballast, as I intended it to be, the cant and thus speed would be much lower. Would anyone care to tell me if that's the case? Thanks Derek EDIT: Perhaps the title should be "maximum cant on a slow speed line with cinder ballast" but I ...
487. V-crossing details
... usual practice is to fit them through small holes in the rail and then weld. You can often spot the ends of the wires protruding on the other side. The lower picture is in a yard, so not track-circuited. Generally only running lines are track-circuited. In the upper picture notice the fishplated joint to FB, which looks to be insulated. Here's a welded BH/FB joint instead (picture from Rodney Hills -- thanks Rodney): FBtoBHjoint.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 27 Feb 2009 10:20 from: lippydavies Here are some Pics I took for DEMU members asking about V-crossings DSCF5149.jpg DSCF5168.jpg posted: 27 Feb 2009 10:23 from: lippydavies Another view DSCF5150-1.jpg Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

Jim. posted: 6 Jan 2013 14:40 from: rammstein2609 Thanks for replying Jim. I have found a few wiring diagrams for tandem turnouts and they all have at least two crossings wired together. I have a box full of Cobalt point motors with built in DCC decoders so will utilise the onboard switch to change polarity.

493. 4 bolt chairs
... topic: 3681 4 bolt chairs posted: 28 May 2020 11:16 from: Hayfield Phil at C&L is now in a position to refresh the range of products he supplies. The first new tooling was the flexible 00 track, in 60' panels, 12" timbers at the ends and two types of key arrangements Next up are the 4 mm scale 2 and 3 bolt chairs, sprues now come with 16 items, 10 x standard chairs, 2 x Bridge chairs, 2 x J chairs and 2 x H shaped fishplates. The fishplates are also available as separate items. Phil also has plans afoot to revise more of the existing range as well as bringing new products to the market. He now wants to see if its worth updating the 4 bolt chairs similarly and would like to know what pre-grouped companies used 4 bolt chairs so he can explore this matter further. I have some of the new chairs on order, will upload photos when I get them posted: 28 May 2020 11:39 from: Dave ...
... topic: 3678 Curves on turnout template posted: 25 May 2020 03:22 from: Graham Long I am trying to make curved turnout template. I set the radius of the main line and minimum radius of 1200mm warning. In the information panel I get the switch and turnout curve radii and also a smallest radius on template figure. What does this last figure refer to? posted: 25 May 2020 10:38 from: Ian Allen Graham, The smallest radius will be just that. Your main running line will be radius X, your turnout curve radius will be Y. The smallest radius IIRC is between the crossing vee and the switch heel. If you change the crossing vee from Regular to Generic, you will see this minimum value change. I'm sure Martin or others will be able to explain more fully.

... holds the rail upright" since as soon as you remove the gauge the chairs will tilt the rail inwards (as they are supposed to) therefore making the track under-gauge. I would suggest that you do not use "Roller Gauges" to construct "Scale" trackwork (ie with a 1:20 cant). You should use the EM or P4 type three point type. The Roller Gauge is only suitable for rail soldered to copperclad where the rail is upright.

... a length of straight between reverse curves isn't always feasible. But Templot makes it easy to create smooth S-curve transitions in place of reverse curves: 2_292139_340000000.png Here I have used Templot's make transition function to create a sweeping S-curve transition between your curves at A and B. You can see what I meant by a less geometric and more flowing design. Now we can create another transition for the other running line, and start inserting the pointwork into the curves: 2_292143_000000000.png I changed some of your turnouts to C-10 size. That is always a good size to use if you have room for them when creating curved pointwork, allowing easier radii than shorter curved turnouts. This is the result: 2_292145_330000000.png You can see that this has a more prototypical flow to it in the yellow tracks than your original unmodified blue tracks at the top. Here is the same section when printed out for construction: 2_292148_520000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 1 Jan 2017 11:25 from: drrsenior Hi Martin, Thank you for spending more time on this ...
