I've located my original pics, and now have some 100% grabs of the business end of my 3-throw point which show in better detail how I linked the blades. Happy to write it up if there is any demand- RMWeb? I'm pleased to say that the turnout is 100% reliable and looks the part in the yard. Big sigh of relief!

I've had a few goes at it trying to perfect things and so far I have managed to create the double each end, the issue I am having is being able to create a perfect mirror so they can join up with non wonky straights in between. Is there a way to select all the track you want, copy it, mirror it then paste it in? I have managed to ...
... . I agree with Matthew's conclusion that you, Martin, can really not afford to add much effort to the documentation issue under discussion here. A bit of gathering of the bits and pieces, plus organization by one of us who is reasonably good at it would pay largest returns, IMHO. Also, as stated previously, a user must be willing to put in some continuing, preferably scheduled and organized, time and effort to get past the "hello world" level of expertise.

I am just getting into hand-laying HO track. So, I have little or no experience in that department. However, I have used lots and lots of computer software programs. When I attempt to learn a new piece of software, I start by skimming through the User Manual, watching a startup video and/or do a ...
644. State Line Crossing
... have not shoved any timbers, or completed any of the diamonds. I realize that Templot cannot currently do some of the diamonds due to the angle. I am certain I will need to adjust some of the curves, but its current shape is based on the original scan. Does anyone know how to represent a single point derail? There are several required in this layout. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Tony Attachment: attach_656_942_State_Line_Crossing .box 190 posted: 29 Sep 2009 12:07 from: Alan McMillan Hi Tony I have created the derail I think you're after- It's near the bottom of the plan I have reattached here. In the UK we call these catch points and I'm not sure of the design you use in the US- this attempt is my understanding of the idea. If it's not right could you send me a picture of what you need and I'll create it for you.

645. HOm Track
... topic: 1987 HOm Track posted: 17 Jun 2012 13:07 from: Geoff Chatwin Good Evening Thank you for the opportunity to participate on this site. I model Swiss Narrow Gauge which is 3.5mm to foot on 12mm track. I use mainly Bemo products but I have found their turnouts and to a lesser degree Peco far from satisfactory. So I am going to have a shot at making my own. The only 12mm track I can find on the site is for TT gauge which is 3mm to the foot. Is someone able to point (no pun intended) me in the direction of some instructions on how to create 12mm track for HO scale? I have tried every keyword I can think off but apparently not the right one! Also, is anyone aware of a site that gives some good instructions on how to make a turnout particularly on how to create a frog. Many thanks. Kind regards Geoff posted: 17 Jun 2012 15:11 from: Nigel Brown Hi Geoff There's no general answer. As in any other scale ...
646. First Slip Attempt
... TCP and MCP positions for the additional slip switches. Also change the half-diamond settings for shortened check rails and extended timbers to those for a double slip. If you do any customizing, make sure the slip switches are far enough from the V-crossing to allow room for both points (blade tips) to stand open between the wing rail fronts at the same time. They normally move over together, but may need to be both open during testing and maintenance. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Apr 2013 07:47 from: Stephen Freeman Martin Wynne wrote: Charles Orr wrote: I intend to use to use servo motors to drive the slip.

Can you post a screenshot or a .box file? If you want a turnout on an existing transition curve template you can simply insert a turnout in the template. Then roam it along to wherever you want it, not necessarily within the transition zone. You can then if you wish split off any approach or exit track as separate templates. Or if it is special custom turnout you can use the align functions instead ...

... are you modelling, and what railway company? What scale and track standards? What locos? You really need to find some photos of a real place in the era you are modelling, and combine it with some knowledge of prototype practice for your chosen era and company. Might be worth having a look at magazine articles, books and the old maps website for prototype track and building arrangements. That's probably more questions than answers, but responses to them would help a response to your questions. Simon posted: 28 Feb 2014 07:36 from: davelong Hi SimonI'm used to doing research and I'm not adverse to it. I have done plenty of research in to China clay railways, so for prototype help I'm looking at Carbis wharf, Drinnick Mill, and plenty of other small cornish china clay facilities. I have also come to the conclusion that I'm going to build a small layout, and without copying Trerice and Wheal Elizabeth or having little operational potential, there are not a lot of options left.

... topic: 854 Fine Point and blunt nose of vee posted: 7 Jun 2009 13:33 from: Martin Wynne An erroneous remark on RMweb today (" the '+' on the Templot template marks where the true point of the V should be.") caused me to post a correction. I think it's worth repeating here. The pink+ mark on the Templot template doesn't show the tip of the vee, it shows the position of the "Fine Point" (FP), i.e. the intersection of the track gauge lines, at peg position CTRL-4. The actual vee nose should be blunted back in the prototypical fashion so that it is strong enough to withstand wheel impacts and is properly supported in the "A" chair on the "A" timber. Here's a close-up of a Templot template showing that: blunt_nose.png It's worth printing a duplicate copy of the template so that the position of details obscured by the timbers can be checked during construction. For bullhead track the blunt nose width is 3/4 ...

... standard gauge as the project is for a club 'shunting plank' layout and the majority of the membership is most likely be wanting to run RTR stock or at best if they make their own (minority) will be presumably using Slaters Fine standard wheels. There is only one member who wants an 0-16.5 input (he seems to think all layouts should have a narrow gauge component...) and the amount of mixed gauge track is accordingly limited with only a few mixed gauge turnouts. 1739_091215_270000000.png The track highlighted in pink is where the mixed dual gauge is planned. We shall have to be careful with the flangeway gaps, however since the track area in question is to be set in cobbles I suspect that we will be having a surfeit of extended check rails (to stop the cobbles from moving) but these may assist in keeping the O-16.5 stock on the rails so to speak. As to the example file you pointed me towards, I am having some difficulty with creating the partial template for the NG element when resizing the ...

659. Track Plan 01
... adjust the turnout sizes, Templot will keep you to the more common size combinations. Generally for sharply curved crossovers, C-10 is a good size to choose, although in this case it would make the crossover a bit longer. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Jan 2014 11:42 from: Nigel Brown Might not be possible in whatever space you've got, but if you did a mirror image of the plan your facing turnouts become trailing, which might be more prototypical.

Nigel, the trains on the inner line run to the left so the turnouts will be trailing? the original design was the other way around ie the double tracks on the right but was changed to this design so the double tracks could in future go outside, dreams are free.
