... assumes the Midland and GWR joined up in a small market town to the south of Warwickshire( close to banbury) traffice will be mainly passenger on the two lines with normal market town goods traffice on the LMS line. the layout offers fair scope for shunting i feel. this is my 2nd layout since resuming odeling and will be my first fine scale one. I also need to learn how to change the name its saved as lol Last edited on 27 Jul 2010 19:12 by nigel bown posted: 28 Jul 2010 10:01 from: Phil O Hi Nigel The only point (no pun intended) that I wish to raise is that you have no means of running round an LMS train. I would expect to see a crossover in Pauls template 34 or your template 61.

... , you will be able to read the file and print the book, one page at a time (a very slow process, not recommended). To get round this, in the file download box towards the bottom and centred there is a page link called" http" in blue, If you right click on this and open a new TAB you will then see a new list of file type downloads with no Google attachment, it's downhill from there!

... topic: 3464 Goods loops posted: 30 Jul 2019 09:39 from: KeithArmes A friend is planning on building Grafham station on the MR Kettering- Huntingdon line. The running line is single and the goods loop is also a single line. As a 10ft way is not needed for PW workers safety, would a standard 6ft way have been used. Keith Armes 2116_300438_200000000.png posted: 30 Jul 2019 10:25 from: Ariels Girdle Midland standards were published in an early MRJ. From memory, all goods loops were supposed to be greater than 6ft posted: 30 Jul 2019 10:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Keith, If it was just a running loop it's more likely to be at 6ft way on a single line. If it was a working part of the goods yard, used for loading vehicles, etc., then it needs to be at 10ft way. Given that there is only one short siding and a large area marked "Goods Yard", that use seems very possible. But that doesn't mean that it complied ...

... is restored. So to carry on where you left off, just copy the relevant template to the control template before continuing with the next part of the design. Alternatively, you can store library templates with your various settings for this and other options, and copy the required one of those as needed. This is the standard way to use Templot -- copy from a template which contains the desired set of settings, and then adjust it as required for the new work. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jun 2010 10:41 from: stuart1600 Thanks for the quick response, Martin. I had obviously misunderstood the minimum radius setting, thinking it related to a box-file rather than a template. I may well be in a minority of one (not for the first time!)but setting a minimum radius for the whole layout is actually what I would prefer to do. If the entire layout was the gasworks sidings then obviously a sharper radius would be appropriate, but for any typical mainline/branchline layout then the long- ...

Tables may be old-hat but they work every time, are ultra-reliable on all browsers and dpi settings, and are very easy to code. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Mar 2011 17:16 from: Stephen Freeman True but as I'd somehow managed to lose the link it has at least reminded me to sort that out. posted: 15 Mar 2011 11:10 from: Les G Borg-Rail wrote: 1 Fixed 2 Don't understand why it did that but I've altered it now. 3 Clicking on the photo always worked though!

... to get the actual turnouts to start making them if I can think of any practical way of going ahead. The attraction of the location is that it is in a quite confined area that in total might not take an impractical amount of space for a group of determined modellers. I could load an image of what I've got so far but maybe the above is enough to be clear what I'm asking. Maybe anyone can refer me to instructions elsewhere on the Forum that tell me what to do? posted: 20 Jun 2019 10:30 from: Ariels Girdle The map you have ought to have a scale on it. If so, you can easily work out how big a model would be without using Templot. I tend to draw 300mm grid on a copy of the map. That way it is very easy to visualise how big it would be. posted: 20 Jun 2019 11:49 from: Julian Roberts Yes of course, Ariels. I think it's the NLS 50" map. Assuming it is,there are convenient grid lines ...

... , it does, but i really want to replace the track with something that looks better. I know both makes of proprietary track aren't anything like scale measurements, but is there an easy way of making Templot templates that will closely match the Peco OO gauge series? Relaying the track won't be too much hassle, it's the wiring that took the time, involving a whole string of single and double slips in true Frank Dyer fashion, and not using digital control. But then I like relays! posted: 3 May 2010 10:45 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roy, There are a couple of templates available for downloading which exactly match Peco 00/H0 turnouts. Download from: topic 294 peco_00h0.png But it's not too clear what you are asking? If you are replacing the Peco track you don't necessarily need an exact match. For example a crossover made from Peco Large Radius turnouts could probably be replaced with an ordinary A-7 crossover, and look much better as a result: 00sf_a7_v_peco1.png If you want a closer match to the original, ...

... - that worked a treat. Hi Richard, Glad it worked. p.s. A more conventional solution without using a slew, would be to use only the 2 transitions, replacing the lower one with a new one: 2_191518_570000000.png 2_191509_170000000.png The transition on the right reduces from 1800mm to 1750mm in a zone length of 700mm. However, that wasn't what you asked for, and it modifies the concentric alignments at the bottom perhaps more than you wanted. Decisions, decisions... cheers, Martin. posted: 21 Aug 2019 10:47 from: richard_t Thanks Martin- I quite like the slewed one, so I might stick with that. The curves join up a plan of Manchester Central pretty much to scale (until the curves that is), and the start of Cornbrook/Throstle Nest Junctions. I don't have enough space for all of Cornbrook, so only bits of it will be present (and I'll need to be on a permanent diet if it does ever get built to squeeze between Central and the main running lines- but that ...
