662. Transition curves
... topic: 880 Transition curves posted: 26 Jun 2009 10:16 from: Howard I'm using Templot 0.91.c on Windows XP. I'm struggling to make a transition curve from a 3" straight that enters my 4' by 2' baseboard 41.5 cm from the front edge and leaves via a 3" straight 175 cm from the other end (of the 4'). Sorry about the mixed measurements! This is 2mm/N Gauge. I first make a guess at a transition curve, using something between 24" and 36" radii, but then need to adjust it. I'd prefer to do this interactively without having to re-enter all the numbers. I cannot get <Shift><CTRL><F1> or the "-" key to do anything. No little window for changing the 1st trans. radius appears, and moving the mouse just moves the whole track plan. Likewise for the 2nd trans. radius. Using the menu option "action|transition radius options" also has no effect. Perhaps there is ...

... than the crossing flangeway. If you replicate this it will be less noticeable if the bends do not exactly align. A radiused bend also helps a lot if you are using functional chairs with the rail canted at 1:20 angle. Some modellers go to the absurd length of filing a notch in the rail to make a dead sharp knuckle bend, which is totally unnecessary and looks awful. This is what it should look like: 2_202055_480000000.png© Mick Nicholson with thanks regards, Martin. posted: 22 Feb 2011 18:10 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Martin: Do you mean the knuckle bends in the wing rails are not opposite each other? Rob: Yes that is the trouble. Martin: Before adding the wing rails, check that the vee nose is correctly gauged from the stock rails, and equidistant between them. Rob: There aren't any stock rails at this stage in the construction process. I am trying to make the common crossing first( the hardest part!). I want to have the PCB timbers on the ...

Just a Templot question: how can I "force" joints to appear where I have artificially shortened the rails- for example between the switch and the crossing above?

669. Circle segmentation
... topic: 1366 Circle segmentation posted: 9 Feb 2011 12:10 from: Gordon S Hi Guys, I'm considering building a 2.6m diameter helix and have mapped all the trackwork out with tracked edges to enable me to machine cut 12 pieces to build one complete circle. I found the menu item 'swing angles' and set that to 30 degrees and that seems fine, but it hasn't added the lines from the centre to enable me to accurately cut the segments. At present I've simply drawn the lines across the template using the ends of the track bed edges as a guide. Is there a way of adding the radial lines to make accurate segments? You only need to be a fraction out on each of 12 pieces to find you have not made a true circle. posted: 9 Feb 2011 13:11 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Is there a way of adding the radial lines to make accurate segments?

670. Curved points
... can shorten the turnout to a smaller size (F5) without infringing your minimum radius, and so perhaps fit in an extra fiddle yard track. If you really do want the main road of the turnout to run straight off to the outside of the ruling curve, you need to adjust the substitution radius (external geometrical radius) for the turnout. There is a video showing how to do that for exactly the situation you describe, at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/subs_rad.exe but using contraflexure is 10 times easier and much more prototypical. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Feb 2011 21:10 from: Paulr1949 Hi Martin Thank you for the speedy reply. There is one place on each side where I think I need a straight point- I don't need extra sidings (we have 14 and no space within the board width for any more!

... has undoubtedly made some of my difficult decisions much easier in designing my track-work. I am absolutely pleased with the detail now shown on the amended Templot Companion diagram, that explains it all and could not be any clearer. I still find this absolutely fascinating stuff to understand and has taught me a lot about the railway engineering in the year since I've been using Templot. Regarding speed restrictions, fortunately New Street station had those right from the entrance/exit tunnels at either side of the station. These restrictions varied between 10 MPH, down to 5 MPH at tighter sections of the track, so I do not think this will give rise to a problem of putting in some shorter wing and/or check rails, as and where absolutely necessary. The 10 MPH restrictions are to be found at the entrance/exit sections of the track-work where the track is straight to go through the tunnels, with the exception of the Bristol/Gloucester tunnel on the Midland side of the station which is very curved and carries a 5 MPH limit ...
... the permanent marker, tapering from nothing to knife edge at the end. I do this by eye, checking with a steel rule that i have it even. once done, release the blade and bend it so that the tapered side is straight. I then use fine wet and dry to take any rough edges and get it true. Turn the rail over and file off the head, leaving the foot. I do use a needle file for this.

I also wonder if you are trying to be too precise.My approach is to cut two lengths of rail over size. with a permanent marker, colour the side and length to be planed...this avoids making two blades of the same hand and avoids planing too long. fix the embryo blade to a piece of metal (i use square section aluminium) with a clamp at the waste ...
... topic: 3272 Set template at specified location on grid posted: 17 May 2018 10:42 from: Stumpytrain Hello, A little project I'm pondering has a turntable at the heart of it, and this will have a key roll in the geometry of all track on the layout. So, I've drawn the 300mm turntable as a background image, with the centre and 155mm on the x and y to allow sufficient room around the baseboard... at least for the purpose of this planning. I then created a bit of plain track 300mm long and moved the peg to the "mid-length". I had the ambition of moving this track so the peg centred on the turntable and then I could "F8 rotate at peg" from there. Now, I'm sure that this is an incredibly rookie question, but I promise I've googled "rotation centre dimension", clicked on the "? info" boxes [error- no text 0] and checked the companion page [Sorry, nothing here yet.

... plain track being catered for through the plain track options menu, then selecting rail lengths and sleeper spacings). I'm sure however, you will have another option available for me in Templot, which I yet need to discover (showing my ignorance again). I agree with your point about the dynamic stresses not being as severer at the throat of the station, where the speed of trains is much slower than that of the faster main running line junctions, in my case for New Street, the throat speed is limited to 10 mph and in the station area it slows to 5 mph for the very curved areas (mainly the Midland side of the station as it was commonly known). Well, many thanks again Martin for your terrific effort regarding my templates timbering, it is most appreciated and has been of great help.

As usual it's not easy to pin down. The general rule for REA designs is 3/4" blunt nose (BH)= 4" from centre of "A" timber, i.e. timber centre is 10" from F.P. for a 1:8 crossing. 5/8" blunt nose (FB)= 5" from centre of "A" timber, i.e. timber centre is 10" from F.P. for a 1:8 crossing. except where it isn't. For slab& bracket "A" chairs, bear in mind the note on Fig. 41 in BRT3- "A revised design incorporating nose blocks obviates the necessity for the 3" extension with holding-down bolt". It has always ...
... topic: 782 Toggling Background Shapes posted: 7 Apr 2009 10:35 from: Andy G Martin, I am currently working on drawing the trackwork for the relaying of Slattocks Junction. I have drawn the baseboards and also have a couple of very large scans of the existing trackwork. I've managed to get by with setting the scans to transparent on occasion so that I can see the baseboards through them but it would be very useful if there was an option to turn individual shapes off. For example I may want to display the baseboards but not the scans of the existing track. I'm not particularly bothered by the ability to group shapes but being able to toggle display of a shape on and off would be great.
