701. V-crossing details
... usual practice is to fit them through small holes in the rail and then weld. You can often spot the ends of the wires protruding on the other side. The lower picture is in a yard, so not track-circuited. Generally only running lines are track-circuited. In the upper picture notice the fishplated joint to FB, which looks to be insulated. Here's a welded BH/FB joint instead (picture from Rodney Hills -- thanks Rodney): FBtoBHjoint.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 27 Feb 2009 10:20 from: lippydavies Here are some Pics I took for DEMU members asking about V-crossings DSCF5149.jpg DSCF5168.jpg posted: 27 Feb 2009 10:23 from: lippydavies Another view DSCF5150-1.jpg Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

702. Catenary
... Templot email group may be of interest: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/message/2270 For those who may have difficulty accessing the file link there, I have attached it below. To represent the overhead wires you could use dummy centre-line only templates. Or maybe use the draw with mouse function in the background shapes. There is also a function in the spacing-ring tool to draw background shape lines between specific locations. regards, Martin. Attachment: attach_1201_1657_ole_masts_EM.box 225 posted: 19 Oct 2011 10:36 from: Brunnhaus Thanks for replies up to now! Martin, would it work, if I adjust the trackbed values for N-scale to e.g. 4mm instead 25mm? would the lines be correctly indicated or might occur unexpected reactions? The answer for Robs questions is: My gauge is 9mm european fiNescale. My station with 7 tracks is Rosenheim (Bavaria) from 1858, so no catenary at that time. I designed the trackwork totally through templot and built it on the printed plan with sleepers and flat ...

When I changed from "side" run to "end" run to print out some trial templates for Singleton I find I don't get full coverage of the layout, with a significant number of pages absent- any suggestions? many thanks for any suggestions Also, I will need to change my computer in the near future- is it possible to transfer TEMPLOT across to the new machine. best wishes Richard ps the box file is reasonably similar to the one I uploaded. posted: 21 Oct 2011 10:55 from: Martin Wynne Richard_Jones wrote: When I changed from "side" run to "end" run to print out some trial templates for Singleton I find I don't get full coverage of the layout, with a significant number of pages absent- any suggestions?

704. Dual gauge?
... topic: 1233 Dual gauge? posted: 6 Sep 2010 10:18 from: istvan.david I have been using Templot for about 4 months now and I have a quite fair knowledge on how to create complete track plans, and I like it very much. However I haven't seen any tutorials on how to make dual gauge trackwork (standard gauge- narrow gauge crossings, turnouts, straight tracks with dual gauge). Are there any tutorials and if not, how hard are those to create with Templot?

I know I'm the wrong person to write them, but there isn't really anyone else who can. So the next TDV update is unlikely to contain any new features, but will hopefully have a bit more explanation of some of the existing ones. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Oct 2011 10:44 from: Alan McMillan Martin Wynne wrote: With today's TDV update (Build# 4309) I feel that the core functionality in TDV is now complete.

... topic: 431 Wantage Scan& Plan posted: 10 May 2008 14:48 from: Martyn Grainger Harrison Thanks to Martin for explaining how to save a "scan and plan" image Having never really played with Templot to produce something useful, I sat down and spent yesterday afternoon with a scan of Iain Rices' plan of Wantage. I very soon discovered that there were one or two seemingly impossible bits of formation, however I have produced something that may be workable. I have altered slightly the alignment and length of a couple of sidings, but nothing too drastic. See what you think of the attached. Oh, by the way I won't be building Wantage as such, but using the track plan and architecture from North Worcestershire to create the Belbroughton Tramway. Locos will be from High Level Models.

I would like it to be proven (without snags) before I do so, and as I am also a newcomer (although I purchased Templot some time ago) I would like the tutorials I wish to view to closely relate to the version I would use. I would be concerned that the tutorials may not relate too closely to the 0.91 version. Would it be possible for you to forward the 0.82.d version as an email attachment for me to download?

711. P4 test track
... , if this just a test track and not a piece of model trackwork, are you going to learn anything from either building or operating the catch points? You wouldn't see it on the plan, but do you want to include and obstacle course (e.g. steps, twists, gauge narrowing, etc.) on one siding to see how well stock copes with substandard track? And well done on getting the blocked timbers on the crossovers – that's a trick I haven't managed yet. Cheers Rod posted: 21 May 2009 10:00 from: Andy G And well done on getting the blocked timbers on the crossovers – that's a trick I haven't managed yet. Rod, I could be wrong in understanding what you are meaning here. If you are referring to the timbers aligning through the cross overs please be aware that this did not always occur. The important fact was the special chairs at the crossing. These had to be positioned at specific spacings from the crossing nose and the timber locations were therefore determined. The spacings are 2'6" or ...
712. Curved turnouts
... I could keep the main radius down to 300' (47") without geting the other exit going into the red. Built another point and that worked out fine other than main line radius looks a bit tight. In reality I think my crossover will be on a starting radius of 400' (63") which would keep the other exit road shallower! On the basis that curving the point does not extend the length too much (re SMP points) would I be better advised to go for a 9 of 10 crossiong angle? Any advice welcomed please John posted: 6 Apr 2008 16:45 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: My previous experience with curved turnouts was with the SMP 36/24" radius kits, which came out nearly 2 foot long (well 18 inches)....

713. Is my Slip workable?
... topic: 1673 Is my Slip workable? posted: 1 Nov 2011 10:25 from: RedgateModels Hi, been playing around with an O gauge version of Ian Morton's Shake the Box layout following fun at the Birkenhead show last weekend. To fit it all in in 8x4ft I've resorted to a single slip within the run-round for access to the sidings. I've based it on a modified A4 template and it's tight, looks like the checkrails on one side will not fit. Sooooo, is it workable or do I have to start again with a turnout with a more gentle radius? Martin, I'd appreciate your expert opinion EDIT: just noticed the slip rails have disappeared, not sure why, but I'll have a go at putting them back! cheers Ian Attachment: attach_1223_1673_4gig2_slip.box 303 Last edited on 1 Nov 2011 11:10 by RedgateModels posted: 1 Nov 2011 16:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ian, 1:4 is too short for an inside slip.

Templot would need to be massively more complex and intelligent to sort it all out by itself.
