... keep the crossings and switch blades straight, even in a curved turnout. Hi Bruce, You are quite right to take issue. Please ignore this nonsense and use the Templot templates as curved throughout. Apart from looking and running ten times better, it also matches prototype practice. I'm so weary of arguing this case time and again over the years that it makes me bad-tempered every time I see it. Whoever wrote it in the first place should be taken out and shot.

... surface. Our models don't do that. Which means that steel rail comes with all the worries about rusting, and no very obvious trade-off advantage that I can see. I'm with Norman Solomon in sticking to nickel-silver. The latest "hi-nickel" alloy from C&L doesn't have the yellow tinge of traditional nickel-silver rail, and to a blind man on a galloping horse, it does look a bit like the real thing. regards, Martin. posted: 22 Jan 2008 22:07 from: JohnM I have been using steel rail for the past eight years. The layout is in the loft and is subject to extremes of temperature etc. There is no evidence of rusting, and leaving heat on in the loft is unheard of! In fact I have more of a problem with steel wheels (Gibson). The biggest problem with steel rail is in the use of flux. When the track is soldered you must remove all traces of flux asap. My track uses plastic chairs (Exactoscale) on ...
... 5 Sep 2007 00:17 from: Dave Phillips Hi Martin, I sometimes work with only centerlines and marks showing, without rails and ties/sleepers. I can set up the background templates OK, but can't turnoff display of the rails from the control template. Can you consider making the display options for the control template identical to the options available for background templates? Note the differences between pad/pad options for the control template, and pad/pad background options.

486. Diamond check rails

Also when removing the flares I lose all the flares including those on the 'V' but the diagram in David Smiths GWR switch and crossing practice book, blocked crossing work on page 91 shows at 1. the diamond 'V' check in the centre of the turnout 'V' approaches only flared at one end and the other end machined to a blunt nose.

... topic: 145 Track Clearances- slewing posted: 29 Aug 2007 07:13 from: Tim Morrow The June 2007 edition of Railway Modeller contains an article "NBR point and signal operation". A comment is made regarding clearances between structures, such as 'signal stanchions', point rodding, etc. and track location. As I construct operating point rodding, does Templot have the means of adjusting the track separation at those appropriate areas following setting the 'adjacent track centre to centre spacing' located under "Geometry" for the overall plan. With a particular project I am working on, which includes a double slip, point rodding is required to run to all the points. In one group, containing five rods, It would be good to be able to increase the track spacing to accommodate this width along this length. posted: 29 Aug 2007 12:34 from: Martin Wynne Tim Morrow wrote: As I construct operating point rodding, does Templot have the means of adjusting the track separation at those appropriate areas following setting the 'adjacent track centre ...

Only the SR experimented with longer V-crossings, for use on their fast main lines. Clearly the map doesn't match the photo. It may be from a much earlier survey. ...
... is just right to see the timber positions clearly. For some modern "timbering" of a crossover, try this: http://jameswatson5206.fotopic.net/p29379991.html Instead of long concrete bearers across both tracks (very heavy to handle), they are being bolted together down the centre of the cossover road using inverted U-shaped connectors. Just another example of the variety of timbering practice to be found. You will need more than a mouse to shove that lot! regards, Martin. posted: 14 Nov 2007 03:07 from: mattots I had a look on Microsoft Virtual Earth, focussing on preserved railway locations, but couldn't find any places where the timbering/sleepering is clear enough to be of any use. I'm still scouring through my collection of prototype (steam) railway magazines for useful photos but they are surprisingly hard to find- I suppose given that views looking down from above (or at least from a fairly elevated angle) are not all that common.

Hi Peter, Sorry, 90-degree and similar short-angle crossings are not directly supported in Templot.

... topic: 210 Welcome to our 250th forum member posted: 27 Oct 2007 19:07 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, Nearly 6 months on from moving to the new Templot Club forums, and we have just today gained our 250th member. Welcome Alex. That's still fewer than 50% of the old Yahoo group membership, but I know there are many on there still receiving forum emails via Yahoo who have never registered on Templot Club. Time to take stock, perhaps. The original intention was to reduce my off-group support emails by offering a user area independent of the dreaded word Yahoo. Certainly my off-group emails have reduced, but I don't detect any higher proportion of users now joining here than used to join on Yahoo. It is still only a small minority of Templot users actually joining, but no doubt many more read the forum pages without joining. So has the move been a success? regards, Martin. posted: 27 Oct 2007 19:26 from: Stumpytrain Hi Martin, Do I get a ...
497. Banbury August 1965
... M Linsley The rope you can see passes round a large wheel in a pit over your left shoulder, and extends downhill to a rake of fulls. This is the greenest form of transport on the face of the planet (ironic that it should be hauling coal!) — gravity hauls the fulls down, and also (via the rope) pulls the empties up. As Jamie said, the point of the kip is to stop the empties running back down the bank again.

... bad? Millimetres are a bit too small for everyday objects, and metres too large. Humans find fractions very friendly, I wonder why the metric system doesn't make more of them? 1/32nd of a metre is about 1.1/4 ", a useful everyday unit size.
