... topic: 3093 Creating 1990s Flat-Bottomed rail with concrete sleepers posted: 5 Oct 2017 01:55 from: Richie Kynaston Hi All,Thanks to Martyn for adding me to the forum. I'm just getting back into model railways after a fair few years away, just involved with the big railway instead! I'm going to be modelling EM gauge with hand-built track and turnouts using EMGS Code 83 flat-bottomed rail. My plan is to use Colin Craig's components (such as the Pan11 baseplate) on the scenic section to replicate a small part of the electrified WCML in the 1990s. While emailing Colin he mentioned that a things such as interlaced sleepers are a big no-no for concrete sleeped track, which brings me to my question. Hidden fiddle yard track will be copperclad so it doesn't really matter what standard i use for that I guess! How can I get Templot to model the layout and produce the templates based around Code 83 flat bottomed rail on concrete sleepers? What do I need to changed, and indeed, ...
... with AVG when uploading Templot. I have AVG Internet Security package running on a PC with Win7 Home Premium version. I've just uploaded 215d and it installed perfectly, as usual, without a murmur from AVG, which leaves me a bit puzzled, but relieved! Am I living in a charmed parallel universe? Stuart... First time I've ever had a problem with AVG and Templot. The previous version installed fine. This is on a newly installed Win10 Home and AVG Internet Security; newly installed because the PC a few weeks ago ended up stuck in a Repair loop and I couldn't resolve it.

... version 215b now available. posted: 22 Sep 2017 23:14 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, The latest Templot update is now available. Version 215b. Your copy of Templot should update automatically if you restart it and follow the instructions. If you have any problems with that, follow the download links on the web site. This is a maintenance release with only 2 significant changes: 1. the get screenshot map function now also works with the individual NLS "Find by place" map sheets, subject to a few restrictions. All map images are now converted to 24-bit colour depth, removing the alpha channel. This allows much deeper zooming when aligning tracks over them. background> maps menu item. 2. adjacent track centres are now entered in full-size prototype inches instead of model mm. This leads to more friendly numbers, for example 134 inches instead of 44.67mm. Model mm can be entered if preferred by using the S prefix, for example s50 to enter 50mm centres. regards, Martin.

There are a few departures from the OS plan, partly because I hae me doots about some of the alignments, but more importantly because I wanted to show the 1936-37 alterations to the layout, primarily affecting the ladder of slips across the yard and the connection into the Up Main. Whilst excluding what I take to be the tramways, I have included the lower end of the Clandown Branch, and the standard gauge incline across the bridge giving access to Tyning colliery and batches. Also shown are the connection towards Ludlows and the British ...

I have been using nothing but Defender for years and years and have never been struck down by a virus. The latest version in windows 10 is even better and is always kept up to date, unless you configure windows to ignore the updates. Oh and by the way, I have never had a problem installing or updating Templot, including this update. I think the few people that do have issues have other problems with their PC such as permissions, ant-virus or something else. It has nothing to do with Templot.

626. NBR special chairs
... topic: 3003 NBR special chairs posted: 2 Apr 2017 23:30 from: grahamroberts Out walking today, I came across the remains of a quarry siding off the erstwhile Waverley Route (the modern Border Railway), and was interested to find a few unconventionally-shaped NBR bullhead rail chairs dated 1922, still in place on their sleepers. There were several sleepers' worth of these, in left-hand and right-hand patterns: 62_021819_420000000.jpg 62_021820_190000000.jpg Are these chairs possibly for rail-built buffer-stops? (they were close to the end of the siding). If not, what is the wider base-plate for? regards Graham Roberts posted: 3 Apr 2017 00:14 from: Martin Wynne Hi Graham, My guess (purely a guess) is that they are joint chairs. Allowing the rail to be supported as close to the joint as possible while leaving space for the fishplate. If so, and found near the end of a siding they were probably on a second-hand track panel, where connected ...
627. tools > make slip
... rail are in one piece. That's not an option on a 2-rail model. By default this increased double-slip clearance is on for 00/EM etc, but off for P4/S7 etc. This can be changed as required. It does of course reduce the slip road radius, which is why it applies only above 1:6.5. None of this is yet released so it is not too late to change it if you have further suggestions, but I'm hoping to get it released in the next few days. My biggest worry is that it will immediately spark calls for tandems, outside slips, scissors crossovers,... regards, Martin. posted: 27 Aug 2017 21:33 from: Martin Wynne FraserSmith wrote: I assume that the different constraints imposed by a 1:5 crossing requiring an outside slip will still mean I have to tackle that manually.

... settings in the gauge/scale list because there are just too many of them, and it is next to impossible to get definitive details of the track standards used. Always create narrow-gauge as a custom gauge/scale. It's not in the list because you don't actually need it there. Just load a .box file containing a template using it, and copy that template to the control template. A library template is intended for such purposes -- i.e. a place to save any custom settings (not just the few in a custom gauge/scale setting). However, if you do want it to be in the list on a fresh startup, save your program preferences: This is how to start saving your program preferences (old screenshots, sorry): 2_150324_360000000.png 2_150325_200000000.png Be aware that there are only 4 slots for custom settings in the gauge/scale list, so if you create more than that number, they won't all be available in the list.

I've now started a new project- ordered the shed, booked a builder to lay the concrete foundation, booked the electrician, and drawn the track plan on the back of an envelope (designed around Peco 0-gauge track. Last night at the club I was told I should be building my own C&L track, so I guess I should be drawing up the plan in Templot as well. If there is anyone who can spare a few minutes give me a nudge into the right menus in those new dark unknown areas that were not even a twinkle in Martin's eye when I first started, I should be most grateful. Firstly I need to draw a 24ft by 13ft rectangle (the shed), followed by a second rectangle 103mm inside the first (the inner wall), then create the continuous running line (c /l 75mm inside the inner wall- works out at about 5ft 11ins radius at the ends, I think), then finally add ...

... because I bought one, though I don't think the one I have covers Exmouth. I' sure that your station should have a bracket on the platform, as does Bournemouth West (which has 3 such brackets), with shunt signals but as there are two possible routes it should have the extra arms. Therefore, I don't think anyone is going to argue with the scheme you have arrived at. posted: 24 Jul 2017 16:34 from: John Palmer Here is my take on the signalling arrangements: 2129_241123_180000000.jpg A few notes: 1. For a terminus, the distants are likely to have been fixed at caution. 2. The Outer Home signals would be positioned at such a distance as to permit station operations to continue notwithstanding acceptance of a train; i.e. at least 440 yards in rear of the Inner Homes. 3. I have included yellow discs, as this seems to have been the practice adopted at Exmouth, which does indeed have a somewhat similar layout. 4. Again following the practice at Exmouth I have not applied ...
... each of the crossing corners will pass down through the large plated thru co-located holes to be soldered. The 4 smaller holes on the LHS allow my bare wire connections to be made, without any crossing over wires to worry about. The layout of the PCB is such that it can be cut up and used to more easily wire any normal railway single or double crossing or linear set of linked crossings as well as quad one used for the Union. Hopefully, I'll be able to show a running video in a few weeks time. There still needs to be a lot of work with relays as many of the other possible Grand Union routes will require DCC polarity reversals.

637. Lost templates
... , and they just can't be relied on to work reliably in every circumstance on every system. You end up with no hair and a computer thrown out of the window. Yes, users can change the Templot install location to their Documents folder if they wish, or any other folder owned by Windows, but if you do that you are on your own if it goes wrong. For backups, simply add C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\, or wherever else you choose to install Templot, to your backup set. Quite a few users now install Templot to a USB memory stick. That way you don't lose it if your hard drive fails, and you can just plug it in on any computer with internet access and carry on where you left off with all your files to hand. Useful if you have occasional access to a system with a larger screen. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Jul 2017 22:44 from: Richard Spratt Unfortunately I've had more USB stick failures than hard disk failures.

They are vector files and can be zoomed in to reveal the full detail. You can then use them as a reference while constructing pointwok on Templot templates: 2_191943_000000000.png© Exactoscale I'm currently working to add chairing to Templot, at least for the basic turnouts. It's extremely complicated and varies for different prototypes and periods, so it can never be just a few clicks. The chairs also have to re-arrange themselves when timbers are shoved. Here is an idea of how it will look on the trackpad: 2_301200_590000000.png The main reason for doing it is to create files from Templot for home 3D printing, like this: 2_260016_310000003.png 2_220920_110000000.jpg 2_252113_340000000.jpg But there is still a long way to go.

639. Counting railchairs
... chairs per sleeper= 3242 chairs. BUT, big but, that doesn't include any plain track approach and exit tracks in the turnout templates. The total length of timbering in those above is 68820- 55114= 13706mm. Dividing that by 34mm will overstate the number of timbers because it should include some longer crossing timbers. But those will require extra chairs, so the end result may not be too far out. It all depends on your track design and number and size of turnouts, etc. If there are only a few turnouts, you could perhaps go through the design and split off all approach and exit tracks to get an accurate plain track count. The main intention of the above screen was for those wanting to order rail and timbering strip. No-one has ever asked for a total count of the timbers before -- I will look at adding that in the next program update, and separating sleepers from timbers. regards, Martin.
