601. Disaster
... use.) That toggle function is reversible, which makes me suspect that it was invoked by mistake in some way. It's unlikely that you clicked the menu without knowing, but is it possible you pressed the accelerator key combination- ALT, M, O, keys? Alternatively it is a program bug executing that function, but it's difficult to imagine how it could follow from the timbering functions without the program crashing completely. There have been no other reports of anything similar. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Mar 2009 07:28 from: dessire_luvals Hi Martin I'm happy to believe that it was User Error as Te,plot has been so stable all the time I've been using it. I will check the toggle that you recomend but I've redone everything now anyway. Thanks for looking and apologies for not waiting up for the answer!

... &L. My remarks about the radius would remain the same. regards, Martin. posted: 3 May 2015 20:29 from: Clivo Hi Martin, many thanks for your speedy reply. It has given me plenty to think about. Not least the gauge choice. I will have to have a look at the specs on the internet before giving a definative answer. However 1:7 would be ok by me as I have made up some 1 in 7 vees Regards Clive posted: 3 May 2015 23:07 from: Clivo Hi Martin, Make That B7.5 regards Clive posted: 19 May 2015 10:58 from: Clivo I Have now got the SF gauges and have changed the plan to SF.also have changed the vee angle to 7.5.

... topic: 2670 Single slip with half switched diamond posted: 11 Apr 2015 22:18 from: Ian Allen Gents, Does anyone know if the single slip in the attached pdf is prototypical at all? Ian Attachment: attach_2110_2670_single_slip.pdf 296 posted: 12 Apr 2015 07:50 from: Jim Guthrie I think you have lost the checking on the existing "K" crossing to prevent a vehicle going wrong road. The half switched diamond provides no checking for the "K" crossing. Jim. posted: 12 Apr 2015 13:38 from: Ian Allen Jim, The check rail for the other K crossing is there.

You don't have any check rail for the fixed K-crossing: 2_120929_320000000.png Because there is no check rail at A, a wheel-set moving left to right at B can move ...
... there is a shot on page 10 of that GWRJ issue of the post broad gauge line that suggests that the leads for the platform, the bay and the goods shed are a little closer together than the 1908 OS would suggest, being a very interesting curved tandem. The 1877 OS suggests that the platform bay lead is closer to the loop lead on the viaduct at this time. A good photo of that would be a corker. Enjoy the fruits of the research... Matt M. posted: 8 Apr 2015 07:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Matt, OS Maps in the UK are out of copyright 50 years after publication. See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Out-of-copyright_maps Which means we are currently up to 1964. There are many web sites taking advantage of this, see for example: http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/maps/ http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm http://maps.nls.uk/about.html That doesn't necessarily mean you can use someone else's scan file without their permission ...

These types of printer tend to heat the paper, causing errors when trying to calibrate accurately. I suspect the only real solution is to use an inkjet printer I'm afraid. Brian Hi Brian, That was what I was putting it down to. Perhaps I'll bite the bullet and top up the black ink in the Inkjet. Russell posted: 1 Mar 2009 14:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Russell, A wrong printer calibration won't produce gaps between the pages -- everything would still fit together properly, but the track sizes would be wrong. As Brian has suggested, I think your problem is the printer. Laser printers heat the paper, causing it to shrink and distort slightly. For best results it is better to use an inkjet printer instead. Unfortunately, looking in computer stores recently I see that laser printers seem to be gaining in popularity over inkjets. A possible solution is ...

... for the replies too. Rob posted: 24 Mar 2015 00:55 from: Nigel Brown Here's a snap I took some time ago, after most of the track was laid and ballasted but very little else done. 3mm/ft 14.2mm gauge finescale. Plastruct sleepers, plastic chairs from Ian Osborne, code 60 BH rail, blended Woodland Scenics ballast, sleepers and rail painted with acrylic blends.

Very nice the track looks too. It is good to see some work in a scale/gauge not seen too often. Rob posted: 26 Mar 2015 14:28 from: madscientist Nice track work. Personally, I find pre-colouring sleepers somewhat fake and the prototype never had the consistency of colour. I'm build test sections at the moment and I think on balance spraying afterwards and then weathering is best. I always find( certainly on ...

I like the look of Sketchbook. Personally I wouldn't worry about the two origins; so long as people know what the two different sets of axes are for that ought to be sufficient, and in fact having two origins may help to illuminate the difference. cheers Nigel posted: 6 Mar 2009 19:07 from: Ashley Excellent stuff Martin. I look forward to this update. posted: 6 Mar 2009 19:57 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin That Sketchbook really does look like a complete departure from what Templot does, but very nice all the same. I won't complain about its inclusion! I'm not sure that anyone asking for Sketchbook can complain about anyone else wanting things like irregular diamonds or saving preferences though Certainly the PDF output sounds good. Not being experienced in these things, are print shops set up to take ...
... a series of small layouts( which I hope I can fit into a busy life) so I am not going to be actually using some of the gauge/rail/sleeper combinations for a while yet. If I may come back to you at some point on this I may appreciate it. So do the DCC gauges have rail grooves that won't then fit onto C&L bullhead rail if they are made for the underscale width of the flat bottom rails? Regards and thanks again. Rob posted: 19 Apr 2015 07:57 from: Hayfield Rob DCC Concepts do two 00sf gauge sets, bullhead and flatbottom, the latter being slightly smaller John posted: 19 Apr 2015 17:37 from: Rob Manchester Hi John, Thanks I didn't notice that. For UK track there shouldn't be a need for two types though as BH and FB 'scale' rail should both have the same head width.

610. Transition Curves:

Have I done this the correct way or do you have much better way of achieving a smooth transition?
