Hi Nick, There is a picture of a double outside slip in a running line on page 43 of "A Pictorial Record of Great Western Signalling"*. It is also non-symmetrical, which adds to the fun.* A.

... of check rail working length and 2 sizes of check rail extension length, according to the V-crossing angle. These sizes are preset in increasing lengths, but can be set to be all the same, or to any desired lengths. Here is a summary of the way these sizes are used according to the current crossing angle: V-crossing check rail check rail wing rail angle: working length: extension length: reach length: under 1:6 size 1 size 1 size 1 1:6 to 1:10 size 2 size 1 size 1 over 1:10 to 1:12 size 2 size 2 size 2 over 1:12 size 3 size 2 size 2 In the majority of cases, the check rail extension length is the same dimension as the wing rail reach length, so that the far end of the check rail is aligned with the end of the wing rail, but this can be changed as necessary by entering the appropriate dimensions. These dimensions for the wing and check rails should be entered in full-size ...
... topic: 1193 Track plan tutorial again- Track handedness, negative radius turnouts and crossings posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:16 from: grog_polymer In the Track plan tutorial it also says that looking from the peg at Pos 0 RH refers to the direction of positive radius. This seems really bizare as a track curving to the left is considered to be Right Handed but with negative radius. I don't understand that. There are also a couple of references to shorter crossings being acceptable for turnouts with significant negative radius. Is this due to the fact that the deflection through the crossing is shallow on both roads?

... useful. I have a memory of seeing you use the marker colour facility in a video somewhere. I will have a play with these and see how I get on. I suspect that there is a "Proper Procedure" to manage groups to deliver some of the functionality I am looking for but it is an example of one of those things you are unlikely to stumble across in Learn By Doing mode- I wonder if this might be a good case for a little demo video?

... loosely based on the old Birmingham Snow Hill, but much reduced and because the station throat has to be on a curve the point work has had to be simplified, for example the tracks which cross from the bottom of the station to the carriage sidings which will be top right when drawn are going to have to be omitted. I've not mastered the finer points of the system such as shoving timbers or doing three way points properly, but any comments gratefully accepted. regards Rovex Attachment: attach_965_1332_snow_hill.box 426 posted: 9 Jan 2011 10:02 from: JFS Wow, lots of track! Should be an excellent operational layout when its done. Just one tip which I learnt the hard way. There might be a fair few devils in the detail of your plan in that some of the track might not be buildable- just to take one one of the three ways in the throat- the switches of one road overlap the crossing of the other. This kind of problem of course is MUCH worse in 00 than in nearer-scale guages- even ...

For RTR models you might want to increase it a bit to allow for body-sway, axle end-float, etc. And for any curving of course.

... : 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 " ...
729. Turnout Stock Rails
... joggles- in one or both rails? What are the best ways of creating both these methods please, and how to judge when it's the correct amount of "set" or "joggle"? My interest lies with ex-LNER/LMS, late 50's to early 60's. However, my first priority is for good reliable running, even if it means using a technique which wasn't commonplace at this time (I think joggles were more a pre-grouping technique?) Many thanks.

730. Gauge O branch line
... :17 from: Paul Heath Here is my plan for a branch line terminus station based along the lines of the Furness Railway branches to Coniston and Lakeside. I would welcome any comments on the plan. Items 16 and 40 will eventually form a double slip (if I can get my head around working with partial templates etc). There will be an island platform in the large open space with the outside left hand edge of the railway representing a Quay side location.

Two things strike me first off. 1) A fairly minor point but you might like to consider widening the track centres in the sidings and possibly in the curved areas (depends on the rolling stock you intend to use of course) 2) The Double Slip that you propose, will have an unworkable inner radius. You will need to have the inner curve of the slip as an Outside Slip. Bad news is that this really does ...

When I opt to print an turnout it prints anything up to 4 pages depending where the turnout appears on the printing 'plan' and then have to be cut out and taped together. Thank you.

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 ...

... posted: 15 Sep 2010 12:46 from: Judi R Hi Richard, Depends on which era you're modelling. BR practice over the past 30- 40 years or so would be to square the timbers to the main through road and, as Richard has said, put in about half a dozen through timbers under the crossing 19'-6" or 20'-0" long for a standard 6-foot. Unless you're modelling a confined area, your third track would normally be placed further away, 8 to 10 feet from the adjacent track, and the timbering would then "unlace" itself. But... the exception always proves the rule! Judi posted: 15 Sep 2010 14:42 from: RichardTP Hi Thanks for your replies. I am trying to do an LMS 1930's ers layout.
