601. P4 test track
... building technique? Hi The reason I'm building my test track is because I want to test all those things you talk about in your email. I haven't the space for a circular test track so the only way to find out if my stock will run through tight curves is to run them through turnouts. I used to belong to the North London Group which did have a circular test track which was great. Please feel free to email me if you need any further help. Kind regards Len Cattley posted: 21 May 2009 08:34 from: newport_rod A few thoughts then... Good idea to include one double slip – if you want to test your track-building technique. But maybe two in one too many; the top plan is very dependant on them. Good idea to include both facing and trailing crossovers to see how stock will run over them, although this will be limited by only having 340 mm to the left of the trailing crossover will limit its use. Although presumably you're constricted by only having 8' to play ...

... there, I neglected to measure the platform. (Which would have been smart I guess) Although I live across the pond, I have visited Dorset (and Corfe Castle) twice, and it is a really neat piece of restoration. Thanks for the video- made me quite nostalgic to go back. The only problem with a real place is of course that people can always identify errors easily. I guess not to much chance of that in Winnipeg! Thanks for all the interest.

I can see it might serve as a means of releasing some wagons from that end of the shed, but only if the siding beyond the shed road is kept clear, which doesn't seem me to be that useful. Any ideas?

... bottom, or move them to behind the platform. That would be more prototypical. 2- flatten the run-round loop (template 5 on Alan's box file). You'd need to be careful with radii though. I think looking at it overall, it's all too curvy, and gives the impression of trying to fill the space with track. Have a look at the attached box file and see what you think- it's a bit rough, mind!

Hi Dave, The limiting condition is not the position within the turnout, but the proximity of the adjacent rails outside the turnout. Long timbers tend not to be used where the space to the next set of rails is more than about 3ft-ish. Two shorter timbers, or a timber and a sleeper, would be used instead. This means that your crossover with widened track spacing ...
... MRC's New Annington layout, we built the oo track with scale 6' spacing with superelevation on the curves. Of course the stock hit each other, when we realised we should have allowed for the underscale gauge! We had to rebuild the curved section to allow for this. I can't remember what track spacing we used, but it was more a case of trial and error in those days. but as others have said, do allow for axle end-slop, bogie pin play etc. posted: 1 Jun 2010 08:52 from: Martin Wynne The Australian Model Railway Association have published a standard for passing clearance on curves.

The photo bellow show more cleary the aspect of bridge that this rail has, something that flatbottom don t have, and that make bullhead so special: the distance between the rail and timber is larger in bullhead case. But what chair is thickier on base to provide the largest clearence? I saw a lot of types in exactoscale, C&L and scalefour society but no measures at all.

... 2010 18:09 by Alan Turner posted: 28 Apr 2010 20:10 from: richard_t Alan& Scott- thanks for taking the time to have a look and reply. I do realise now that I could use the Parking Bay for 3 of "X.XXT-XH" templates rather than background templates in the storage box. The advantages in being that it's quicker to get at the parking bay than trawl though the storage box. When I get time I'll amend the instructions accordingly. posted: 30 Apr 2010 20:08 from: richard_t As promised an updated version of a irregular diamond help/walk through. The method has changed (uses the parking bay, a feature I should use more), but the outcome is the same.

Copy the original turnout and join it to the through road of the diamond- creating the turnout on the other main line.. It's simpler than that you simply make a ladder crossover from the tools menu. That gives you the crossing bit and the adjacent track. All you then do is insert a turnout in the adjacent track for the double bit.

... with partial templates, are there any gotchas in store when I attempt to change it into a double slip? Hi Nick, A quick look suggests that the K-crossings will be about 1:3.5. So an ordinary inside slip is out of the question for any sensible radius. So it will have to be a double outside slip.
