... topic: 2186 Platforms and Turnouts posted: 31 Mar 2013 10:25 from: Howard If I add a platform to the "turnout" side of a turnout, it follows the straight track and not the diverging track. Is this as intended? I'm using 2.06d on Windows XP.

Is this as intended? Hi Howard, Yes, that's intended. Prototypically it is quite rare for a platform to be alongside the diverging road of a turnout. However, if you do need that: 1. copy the turnout to the control. 2. click tools> make split> make plain track turnout road> on external geometrical radius menu item. If that menu item is greyed out: a. if the peg is on CTRL-0 put it on CTRL-1 (or anywhere except CTRL-0 ...
... topic: 2378 SER Trackwork ca 1880 posted: 17 Jan 2014 16:49 from: newport_rod I'm putting a plan together for a friend who's interested in the SER ca 1880, a subject of which I know nothing. For the track work specs I'm guessing something like this: 9' sleepers, Plain track- 12" wide sleepers at rail joints, 10" wide elsewhere Turnouts- 12" wide timbers 30' rail length Straight-cut switches Turnout timbers perpendicular to axis of turnout BH rail Anybody know (or care to conjecture) whether I'm close or not? Rod posted: 17 Jan 2014 16:54 from: Jim Guthrie Rod, A possibility might be interlaced sleepers rather than timbering in the pointwork. Jim. posted: 17 Jan 2014 17:01 from: newport_rod Jim Guthrie wrote: interlaced sleepers Interesting Jim. Not something that I thought about. I thought that interlaced sleepers were more of a northern England/Scottish thing, but I'd be happy to be corrected. Though whether my friend who's got to build the things ...
543. NBR special chairs
... Graham posted: 20 Apr 2017 21:47 from: Bruce M Further to the above posts, I was able to take a trip to Leuchars today and was delighted to discover that the old sidings are refreshingly clear of greenery, allowing me to get a couple of photos. As can be seen, the chairs are used at the rail joints. The first item of interest is that the chairs, which are of the same pattern as the 1922 ones spotted by Graham, appear to be marked 1933! So, cast 10 years after the demise of the NB. The rails are 45' long and the plain chairs are NBR 4 hole units, so I would imagine that this is late NB mainline rail in reused chairs. The second thing that is of interest is that on a fair length of the siding, about 1 in 4 sleepers and chairs have recently been replaced with modern substitutes! This is presumably a minimal replacement to keep the track up to supporting ECS during major golf events at St. Andrews. So NBR rail and chairs ...
... 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 ...
... went back with the long layout plans.... From memory I think I paid around £50 for the 9m plan and a couple of other much shorter ones. I got the idea that they didn't often do printing on this scale and so there was no list of prices, the lady who served me simply throught of what seemed like an appropriate figure! Again from memory, I think they did have prices for standard drawing sizes (such as those that would accompany a planning application, A1?)- £10 comes to mind. Apologies for not signing previous posts- other forums that I'm on have a 'signature' facility which provides a sign-off automatically; I'd completely forgotten that isn't the case here.

Hi Alan, Sure, generally it's prototypical to do anything which fits, if the lines are needed. Did you mean something like this? 2_290840_420000000.png I added the signal box because it looks like a busy junction for the signalman. If you meant something else, perhaps you could post your .box file, or a sketch? regards, Martin. posted: 29 May 2015 ...
... Let us further assume a minimum 3 carriages to work out lengths of platforms over and above clearance and headway to allow release. Now the 'how long is a piece of string' question- what prototypical switch/points/crossing configuration allows the minimum safe working length of the scissors crossing? Hmm! Any ideas? Dave posted: 20 May 2015 01:51 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, If Castle class locos are using the crossover I doubt it would be anything shorter than B-8 and more likely C-10. Even then the platform edges will need a cut-back section to clear the loco overhangs while crossing over. Generally an arrangement such as you describe would be more typical of a suburban terminus, using smaller locomotives. For a main-line terminus a middle release road is more likely, or else incoming locomotives are released by the station pilot loco removing the stock to another platform, or to the carriage sidings. Alternatively, if space is very tight, you could try a loco traverser, as at Birmingham Moor ...

555. tandem turnout
... /page-5 #entry1723851- actually the previous page but the RMWeb server isn't serving at the moment) Moving the crossings relative to one another would allow an increase in the wing rail length as suggested, but this is back to the track layout itself. Ideally, an extra foot between the lounge door and the end wall... In any case, I will make the wing rail as long as I can without fouling the flangeway of the middle road. Thanks again& HNY Simon posted: 1 Jan 2015 10:35 from: Martin Wynne Hi Simon, There is no need to increase the wing rail length by much, but it does need a small amount of flare. Likewise there is no need to change the switch size for special formations such as this, if that is the only size which fits. GWR crossings often used 14" wide timbers for the "A" timber which makes it easier to fit the chairs on a skew. The long machined flare on the check rail looks unlikely for bullhead -- there ...

557. Cutting Rail joints
... The same page in the Walsh's catalogue to which Howard's link takes you shows a TS121 which appears identical to my Eclipse PS51 and costs only £5.80! This can't be much more than what I paid for the Eclipse between 30 and 40 years ago and I've always found it a pleasure to use- that style of handle sits very comfortably in my hand. I have always mounted my blades to cut on the push rather than the pull stroke. Is that wrong? Seems to work for me. posted: 23 Nov 2014 10:07 from: alan@york Pulling is better, and gives a more even cut than cutting on the push; at least for wood.

... topic: 2573 Has anyone any idea what this is? (extra rail on the OUTSIDE) posted: 10 Nov 2014 17:39 from: DerekStuart This has got me stumped. It is the only photo I have seen of its kind. As you can see from the attached link (I couldn't upload it as it's copyright by RCTS) at the lower left there is a length of rail on the OUTSIDE of the running rail. It is about the length of an average checkrail and opposite is what looks like either a grease reservoir or some sort of actuator. I know that due to the severe curves in and out of the station (Whitby) there are several grease points, but this seems to be on the outside of the track. No doubt someone here will know and I'll reply with "ah of course. I should have thought that."
