... topic: 3107 Lining up crossover turnouts, expanding parallel curves posted: 13 Oct 2017 10:04 from: Damien Morris 0eda7dda3d887297a0b1fb0a1ed4cfd0.p ng What is the best way to line up and bridge the 2 turnouts on 2 expanding parallel curves? Last bit needed before I have to go back over the layout and go through sleepers. Attachment: attach_2531_3107_conwy.zip 216 posted: 13 Oct 2017 11:50 from: John Palmer I would do it by making TL533 the control template, then making the crossover by using Tools -> make ordinary crossover. Before doing this, however, you need to adjust the turnout side adjacent track centre for TL533 so that the crossover thus formed aligns with the adjacent down main line (PR477). Because TL533 and PR477 aren't running parallel here, you will need to pick an arbitrary point on PR477 at which to measure its current offset from TL533 then make some adjustments after the crossover is created.2129_130634_140000000.png As the image shows, I picked a point on TL533 lying opposite the expected mid point of the crossover, slid the peg to this ...

... 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 ...

Martin you have been working so hard, and the extensive amount of information is both fascinating and goes a long way to explain some of the running issues that have plagued several members of our On30 group who have some of the larger x-6 -x, x-8 -x and x-10-x locos -- these run fine on the main but can be troubled by the turnout. I have also been busy, working on the RH Peco clone, and I almost got it (more by luck than judgement) with all the timbers and the rails in the right place apart from the knuckle and the point of the V. More study and training needed i think. I also found that the 19.4'' radius was the only match, not surprising really, although some retailers have it noted as ...

... topic: 2756 Parallel Vees- how do I go from here? posted: 10 Oct 2015 21:05 from: Jubilee42 I'm trying to use Templot to design my layout. I've cheated a bit by roughing it out in AnyRail, but without any proper turnouts, which I am planning on building myself. I've spent 6 or 7 hours with Templot and gone forwards and backwards in equal measure. I can see the potential, it's just utterly unlike any program I've used before! Anyway, I've found a really useful function to create turnouts with parallel exits- brilliant!! But I want to put another turnout on the turnout side,and it won't let me, because of the Vee I've used. can anyone give me a shove in the right direction? Ta! 3033_101604_080000000.png posted: 10 Oct 2015 21:34 from: Martin Wynne Hi, The parallel type of V-crossing is a bit of a legacy from years ago and not much used nowadays.

589. P4 test track
... topic: 2748 P4 test track posted: 29 Sep 2015 10:20 from: Len Cattley Hi I need help, I have posted a file on share and show. Is it OK for testing 4-6 -0's the points and single slip are B7's? Len posted: 29 Sep 2015 10:34 from: Martin Wynne Hi Len, It looks ok to me. But everything depends on the actual 4-6 -0 -- wheelbase, sideplay on axles, etc. The leading truck is largely irrelevant, it would be just the same for an 0-6 -0 with the same wheelbase. For more help on P4 wheels, axles, minimum radius, etc., try asking on the Scalefour forum: http://www.scalefour.org/forum/ There is a Guest Book area for posting if you are not a member. regards, Martin.

... topic: 2770 Problems with updated templot posted: 1 Nov 2015 10:30 from: madscientist Updated yesterday to latest version I run under a Windows 7 parallels box on a Mac I notice two issues I do t think I've seen before 1. Lots of drop down menus have" extra" blank spaces ie a menu item would have 1 blank clickable space above and below. Maybe this is by design 2. The other strange thing, is the right click, menu( IE the one with X& M( make the template etc). Now pops up at the extreme left of the screen, it doesn't seem to be movable. I often have desktop widgets there and the menu appears under everything( that's correct) Can that menu be customised as to where it pops up, on a big 27" mac the menu often ends up miles away from the application window Dave Last edited on 1 Nov 2015 10:32 by madscientist posted: 1 Nov 2015 11:16 from: Martin Wynne madscientist wrote: I notice two issues ...

Below the photo I have a rough Templot outline of what I expected to find and also a small 1920's map extract. Any opinions on this would be appreciated. It's either I find a solution or I take tranquilisers.Derek Attachment: attach_2154_2740_strangetrackbogha llshed.jpg 668 Last edited on 23 Sep 2015 17:34 by DerekStuart posted: 13 Oct 2015 22:10 from: Tony W Hi Derek. The fact that the piece of trackwork is half off the picture does not help with seeing what is there. The road in front of the loco beyond the ground disc has a double bladed trap in it, although only the nearest switch blade is visible, to protect the running line. It would follow that the right hand track would also need the same provision. The switch blade you can see that looks like part of a slip road would be the left blade of another double ...
594. Timber Centre Lines
... topic: 2783 Timber Centre Lines posted: 10 Nov 2015 23:22 from: Charles Orr Hi Martin, This is probably not a flaw, just me doing something in the wrong sequence. I'm trying to show the timber centre lines and rail centre lines. Working on the control template which is a length of plain track in 4SF Click Real-Rails-Track Centre line only. Help dialogue says to turn generator menu on Turn Generator menu on Click Generator-Use skeleton settings Click generator-generator settings- From this menu I can sucessfully: Switch timber outlines on and off Switch timber infill on and off Switch outline extensions on and off BUT Clicking timber centre lines has no effect although the menu item shows as ticked Another point Clicking Real-Rails-Timber Surface Centre Line Only brings up the same help dialogue box as Clicking Real-Rails-Head Centre Line. Which is where we came in. Clicking Head Only or No Rails does exactly that. What am I not doing that I should be? Best regards Charles Using Windows ...

... radius as it should be so you can test the result against the template, but we are not looking for exactitudes here- certainly not in your chosen gauge(!). If you make the crease too sharp (and I have seen all kinds of horrors suggested as means to that pointless end) you create the certainty that the back of the flange will strike the inside of the opposite wing rail- exactly not what we want. Hope that helps.
