... then add chairs and rail. With components such as C+ L's soldered up Common Crossings and ready to use Switch Blades, track making is as easy as any other facet of our hobby. If you still prefer riveted construction, you can use any of the above. And we also have separate 8'-6" and 9' sleepers, with accurately spaced holes for both EM& P4- as I said previously, no more 'one size fits all'. These are complemented by timbers, 18" long and 10", 12" and 14" wide- all cut by laser, with an accuracy that no guillotine or slitting saw can match. And due to the gauge specific sizes, you can use rivets with smaller heads, thus easing the job of adding cosmetic chairs. We are making a start in in 4mm, but will supply 2mm, 3mm, S Gauge, 7mm and Scale7 ASAP. We have no fixed timetable- if you want something now, just ask. But there is more. Buildings- nothing can ...

685. 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! However, if it is that much easier I will look again. One reason is purely that it may be possible to re-use some track we already have in ...
... buildable. Likewise on the outside of the bend the trackwork would all get stretched out, with similar results. Templot would need to be massively more complex and intelligent to sort it all out by itself. More about this subject in this topic: topic 348 Unless this is a very complex track plan, it shouldn't take you too long to re-align everything onto new curved centre-lines. There is a video showing how to do that in this topic: topic 349 regards, Martin. posted: 22 Jan 2011 10:10 from: Steve Evans Martin, Thank you for your reply- I will have a look at the video.

... other internal testing has gone well, so I am confident that we will have a final product ready before the end of the year.... Now that our beta process is underway, we are on track to have a production quality version of CrossOver 19 before the end of the year. We recommend that you wait for the production release if you can. I still have a nasty Windoze-based laptop that I can use for Templot in the meantime but look forward to the next Crossover update.

It seems you may be able to solve the problem by upgrading the graphics card driver. Alternatively, if you give me a few hours I will get a Templot version out with a bypass for the multiple monitor initialization, for you to try on your Macs. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Aug 2007 00:10 from: Cynric Williams Martin I'm not sure if it is the dual monitor support because of the XP problems i have had, I don't think XP likes the virtual machine it keeps requesting a new activation, I am thoroughly hacked of with Windows and WGA, I only install it for Templot and Turbocad I will wipe the lot and reinstall tonight....

... 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.

... 2019 17:07 from: Andy Reichert "Pdf" Templates for near scale girder rail tram track are at: http://www.proto87.com/Street_track_templates.html These are published in two standards: HO Proto-87 16.5 mm gauge and RTR HO compatible, HO Street Fine. I haven't reviewed them for several years as I've been rather busy making up a full range of DIY kit versions for fellow tram enthusiasts for introduction this year. I'll dig out some pictures and post them shortly.

692. 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?

... sound of it, is really great. A major hurdle ticked off the list. But if we are looking to release Templot3 as a practical replacement for Templot2, "seems to work ok" isn't good enough. Yes absolutely. I think this is clear, if T3 is to be a viable successor to T2. However, before I comment on the rest of your post, I need to think about it a bit more (and do a bit of investigation too). Cheers, graeme posted: 15 Nov 2019 10:20 from: Paul Boyd Hi Graeme You've got the bug! Yes, I do many layouts in Templot that will never be built, nor were ever intended to be built. This one is one I did a few years ago of Yatton on the GW main line south-west of Bristol at a friend's suggestion, just for the hell of it! I'd need to win the lottery just to be able to buy the space for that one! I may finish the timbering one day... 105_150516_150000000.png posted ...

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? (I am hoping that there is a better answer than the feared "custom switch" dialogue box- though that of course is exactly what I am creating!)

... I copy the turnout as it is with the double trap/catch points or fit in a double slip with a short head shunt? Thoughts and ideas would be very welcome Attachment: attach_2178_2794_Bodmin_general.bo x 316 Last edited on 26 Nov 2015 17:49 by Hayfield posted: 20 Mar 2016 15:40 from: Hayfield Just about to move house (as planned) in just over a week and initially will only have a work bench to carry out my railway modelling. The currant plan is to build or have built a shed 10/12' long by 7' wide to house my layout and more importantly my work bench. I have a soft spot for the Bodmin and Wenford Railway, especially the engine shed part. As I said before initially a small diorama is in my mind which can be extended into a layout when time and space. Bodmin could be modelled either as it was when GWR or as a preserved layout (allowing SR visiting locos etc) or as a Bodmin themed layout. Firstly I have plenty of GWR chairs (both ...
... though? Hi Martin I don't know who Andy used, but I've recently discovered AllPCB in China. Just ordered ten boards, 1.25" x 2.5" for just over £18 total including postage. They arrived the other day and are fine. That's going to transform some of my thinking! Andy- that's some seriously impressive trackwork!! Cheers, Paul Last edited on 20 Nov 2019 22:00 by Paul Boyd posted: 20 Nov 2019 22:43 from: Andy Reichert The PCB came from PCBway in China. 10 boards up to 10cm by 10 cm Double side boards for US$5, but US $23 Shipping. So it pays to design several different trial boards per order for much the same shared shipping cost. Larger quantities of a single design are of course charged at normal (but reasonable) rates. I'm open to being mistaken on the number of connections. My reasoning to date is that these crossings are chained in pairs in both N-S and E-W directions, so the pairs of what would be common frogs are ...

... : Martin Wynne JFS wrote: I am not convinced that these are C10- they look much more like C8 to me. Any views? Hi Howard, 16 "T" timbers in the picture between the stock rail joint and the wing rail joint. At the default spacing Templot makes that a C9.5 But of course it depends on the fill timber spacing setting. On balance I think these turnouts could be in the range C9 to C10, but there are too many timbers to be C8. Mick says C10, and 10 is the "natural" angle for a C switch, so I'm inclined to take Mick's word for it. Unless anyone can spot evidence to the contrary? It wouldn't be longer than 10, because that would normally require the check rails to span 6 timbers and the wing rails to reach to the C timber. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Jan 2011 17:12 from: JFS Hi Martin, I used the counting timbers approach also but thought that 16 corresponded to a C8- happy to concede the " ...
