I don't want to go down that route with the ID numbers, because it would soon get messy and be meaningless to beginners. The 3 base types provide the essential information when scanning the list and should be obvious to everyone. regards, Martin. posted: 13 May 2013 15:07 from: dave turner Hi Martin You partly covered my suggestion for sorting in message 19 which I'd missed. Your reply covers the rest. regards Dave posted: 15 May 2013 02:57 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote: The ID number refers to the whole turnout or diamond. In the case where the template is visible as a switch only, could it be called SW123? I suspect the answer is "no" because even a switch is still a complete turnout, just with most of it blanked off ...
542. First Slip Attempt
... TCP and MCP positions for the additional slip switches. Also change the half-diamond settings for shortened check rails and extended timbers to those for a double slip. If you do any customizing, make sure the slip switches are far enough from the V-crossing to allow room for both points (blade tips) to stand open between the wing rail fronts at the same time. They normally move over together, but may need to be both open during testing and maintenance. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Apr 2013 07:47 from: Stephen Freeman Martin Wynne wrote: Charles Orr wrote: I intend to use to use servo motors to drive the slip. Where would you suggest attaching the tie bars to operate the K crossings? One last question. How would I turn this into a double slip? Hi Charles, Bullhead switch-diamonds usually have a single wide timber at the centre, carrying both sets of points (blade tips). The drive stretchers would usually be located on each side of the central timber. The switches ...

No problem in building it in 00-SF, I thought it was a given. Those blades on the short side might be a bit stiff. I will go back to my friend and give him the good news Thanks again John posted: 12 Apr 2013 14:07 from: Hayfield Howard and JFS Thank you very much for replying, sorry for the delay in answering but my internet was down whilst the BT engineer was here Howard That would take some building !!

Or are you aiming for something like Gn15 -- see: attachment.php?id=177 gn15_1.png You can improve matters a little: 1. reduce the step size -- program> expert> step size... menu item. Try setting 1.0 mm. 2. shorten the vee rails so that the turnout ends just beyond the crossing (as images above). But building it from partial templates is the best solution. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Mar 2013 14:07 from: Stephen Freeman Thanks, thought it'd be something like that, I think any stock would be restricted to very short wheelbases (minitrix hoppers?), I did dabble with 009/HOe some years ago and found that not everything would go round/through the Peco turnouts then available.

... Charnwood). Robert posted: 12 Mar 2013 20:20 from: Glen Suckling Don't think it's granite, the grain size is too small. The red colouration looks superficial and could come from rust. The fracture, grain size and greenish tinge makes me wonder if it isn't markfieldite (a microdiorite from Charnwood). It seems that we all agree on an igneous rock (ie. definitely not limestone). The comment on grain size is a valid point as is the possibility of rust discoloration. Feldspars tend to be pink rather than the orange that I am seeing here which nornally indicates the presence of iron. I would opt for granodiorite in view of some of the darker pieces. Of course identifying rock from a photograph is always tricky and to really confuse things we may actually be looking at a blend.

547. Frog Angles
... , but more difficult on a drawing board. CLM unit angles are used because the rules-of-thumb formulae which are used by the p.w. gang when setting out pointwork on the ground are simplified, and produce closer approximations to the true mathematical result. Nowadays with everything done on computers there is no real need for unit angles, we could work directly in degrees or radians. But tradition dies hard and the unit numbers are brain-friendly and easy to remember. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2013 07:50 from: CoBo Thank you Martin Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

It was only necessary to change the middle space -- the idea is that the spacings alternate, 6ft way/ 10ft way. i.e. between your platforms you would have: platform- track- 44.67mm centres- track- 60.67mm centres- track- 44.67mm centres- track- platform And if the platforms were already there when the track was renewed, the centre spacing can be legitimately reduced to 9ft way (56.67mm centres). regards, Martin. posted: 26 Oct 2012 13:07 from: PeterD Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Peter, Thanks for uploading the file.

For those wondering, it means the template name is part of the background shapes, and therefore gets printed on the template, included in PDF exports and on the sketchboard.

... Hi Martin. On the latest (2.05.d), I seem to have a permanently displayed warning regarding a V crossing angle (see attached screenshot). Whilst the text contained in the dialogue displayed when the help button is clicked is clear and understandable, as you will see from the screenshot, there is no highlighted component, so there is no clue as to the errant component. Neither is there a highlight button, or similar, in order to aid speedy identification.

558. HOm Track
... topic: 1987 HOm Track posted: 17 Jun 2012 13:07 from: Geoff Chatwin Good Evening Thank you for the opportunity to participate on this site. I model Swiss Narrow Gauge which is 3.5mm to foot on 12mm track. I use mainly Bemo products but I have found their turnouts and to a lesser degree Peco far from satisfactory. So I am going to have a shot at making my own. The only 12mm track I can find on the site is for TT gauge which is 3mm to the foot. Is someone able to point (no pun intended) me in the direction of some instructions on how to create 12mm track for HO scale? I have tried every keyword I can think off but apparently not the right one! Also, is anyone aware of a site that gives some good instructions on how to make a turnout particularly on how to create a frog. Many thanks.

... . I agree with Matthew's conclusion that you, Martin, can really not afford to add much effort to the documentation issue under discussion here. A bit of gathering of the bits and pieces, plus organization by one of us who is reasonably good at it would pay largest returns, IMHO.
