... topic: 824 blunt nose of switchblade and joggling of stock rail posted: 20 May 2009 07:20 from: DANNY POSTHUMUS Hi all Can I have a blunt nose on the switchblade toe without joggling the stock rail? I call the distance from the actual point of the switch to the blunt part of the switch the "VERTEX". CAN THIS BE DONE: danny_blade_table.gif thanks regards danny posted: 20 May 2009 08:47 from: Martin Wynne DANNY POSTHUMUS wrote: Can I have a blunt nose on the switchblade toe without joggling the stock rail? danny_blade_table.gif Hi Danny, I'm sorry to say these "thick-tip" switches are not (yet) supported in Templot. They are the usual arrangement for USA-style AREA switches (where the blade tip thickness is normally 1/8 ", corresponding to your 3mm). They are on my "to do" list, but as they are not used in the UK they have not had priority. Sorry. For a model construction template, you can simply create a custom ...

As Paul has said you need to work through the tutorials until it clicks, I think most of the video tutorials are for 0.91. If you need help shout and we will try and help, but don't try to run before you can walk as you will come pretty unstuck.

585. Cutting Rail joints
... 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: 2719 Converting a track plan from one gauge/scale to another. posted: 3 Jul 2015 07:24 from: Martin Wynne I have just posted this on RMweb so I may as well copy it here. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/100539-cranby-junction-in-n -finescale-planning/ Go to gauge> other gauges.... Select the required new gauge/scale on the list. Click the convert group button. If you haven't created a group of templates, you will have the option to group all of them for the conversion. Unfortunately it is not mathematically possible to do a perfect conversion unless the gauge:scale ratio and the gauge:flangeway-gap ratio remain the same. In practice this means only the proto gauges convert closely: S7- S- P4- Proto87- S2 etc., and even then there may be some tiny differences. For other gauge conversions there are likely to be some slight mismatches, overlaps or gaps between ...
