The long timbers are usually 12" x 12" and sometimes bigger, up to 18" x 18", and the cross timbers- the transoms- are usually around 6" x 6" and are paired with a steel tie rod to strap the whole lot tight to hold the gauge.

I've found a bit of further information in the NERA "Standard Railway Equipment, Permanent Way, 1926" booklet, diagram 107. It has three arrangements, S1J chairs on 18" beams, L1CC chairs on 18" beams, and M1 chairs on 12" beams. For 60' rails, these chairs are all placed at 2' centres. Looking at the picture it seems to be M1 chairs, as there's no checkrail visible, and M1 ...

The excellent Exactoscale templates can be viewed online, see: topic 780- message 4620 regards, Martin. posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:17 from: PeterD Thanks Martin. I shall check these out. Just a thought though- It might be useful to identify the generic type of chair fitted under the rail at each sleeper. This would provide direct guidance within Templot for people such as I not copying a prototype design.

... topic: 1865 Connecting two points posted: 6 Mar 2012 00:13 from: julia I might be being blind here and not spotting an obvious way of doing this, but: I have a curved turnout (1 :10 700mm inner radius), with a length of curved track (700mm radius), and then on the other end another curved turnout the same. Is there any way to simply connect the two exits from the turnouts to create a smooth curve between the two? I am also failing to find an obvious way to move the peg from one end of a turnout/length of track to the other end. What am I missing?

... 8" from the C/L of the A timber. 499_121151_350000000.png Luckily Templot allows me to adjust this (via real> V-crossing options> customize V-crossing> blunt nose...). posted: 12 May 2018 18:16 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, Interesting topic. 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 ...
... the b switch is 29'6" from that of the c switch. So I placed a b turnout on top of the c turnout with the fixings pegs of both at the right point (ha ha!) and then hit F9, and then clicked in the little window to enter the right value. But instead I got to move the peg, and not the "slide value".

Seriously, it's all working as intended. If entering the peg dimension directly it needs to be negative on X relative to CTRL-0 on the second turnout, and then you can peg the second turnout over the the first turnout using the notch. Leave the peg Y dimension unchanged on ...
... there is a shot of a "moving crossing" point the like of which I have not seen before. But there are lots of other things:-- in the first vid, the primary interest is mechanical signalling which is very British in its principles and equipment. Also, have a look at the chap firing a largish steam loco using a shovel not much bigger than a table spoon.- Again in the second, have a look also for the power signal box where they seem to have an operator for every 10 levers with one further chap doing nothing apart from barking the orders- clearly, labour efficiency is a more recent inovation in Japan!- at minute 11:10 there are two chaps waiting in the fourfoot as a loco backs on to couple to its train- clearly, no safety risks in that then... Plus a million others.... Best Wishes, Howard Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser. Templot Club> Forums> ...
... 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.

753. point & splice rail
... , point rail 13' 3" and splice rail 13' 9" Hi Geoff, Sorry, no. You can represent a custom rail joint on the template using a severely shoved bonus timber (reduce the width to zero). What is the prototype? In the vast majority of cases the splice rail length is set so that both legs of the vee are the same length. For example the usual dimensions of REA bullhead 1:7 crossings from the blunt nose are: Point and Splice assembled= 13'-10" Splice rail only= 13'-1.5" And for original inclined FB: Point and Splice assembled= 14'-0" Splice rail only= 13'-3" The couple of inches difference is accounted for by the changed blunt nose dimensioning, and the wider timber spacing at joints for FB. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Feb 2012 15:34 from: shawg info is taken from NERA's L.N.E.R standard permanent way 95r B.S Rail drawing No:100A. i cant make out if these measurements ...
... doesn't require a switched diamond within the slip. I have no idea how to get rid of the pesky curve that makes itself evident whenever I make a branch track. Once I get the straight diverging road set up I think I'll be able to follow the video for diamonds within transitions, and then afterward I'll insert a slip road. To illustrate, this is the general arrangement made with the default curving when using regular common crossings: undefined (image also attached below) Quentin Attachment: attach_2316_2909_P4_test_4a.jpg 306 posted: 8 Aug 2016 10:48 from: Martin Wynne Hi Quentin, Welcome to Templot Club. I'm not sure what you are asking for. You seem to have achieved the classic trailing slip crossover connection to a yard, all on a nice gentle curve. It's very likely that most such prototypes would be exactly like that. Which part do you want to be straight? The diverging road of a turnout can never be dead straight, you will always have the switch deflection angle from the main road, with the corresponding set in the stock ...

... Let us further assume a minimum 3 carriages to work out lengths of platforms over and above clearance and headway to allow release. Now the 'how long is a piece of string' question- what prototypical switch/points/crossing configuration allows the minimum safe working length of the scissors crossing? Hmm! Any ideas? Dave posted: 20 May 2015 01:51 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, If Castle class locos are using the crossover I doubt it would be anything shorter than B-8 and more likely C-10. Even then the platform edges will need a cut-back section to clear the loco overhangs while crossing over. Generally an arrangement such as you describe would be more typical of a suburban terminus, using smaller locomotives. For a main-line terminus a middle release road is more likely, or else incoming locomotives are released by the station pilot loco removing the stock to another platform, or to the carriage sidings. Alternatively, if space is very tight, you could try a loco traverser, as at Birmingham Moor ...

Any advice regarding learning Templot from recent new users gratefully received. I have found how to override track gauge and check gauge widths. On the other hand I have not found if it possible to do the following: Change sleeper width for both turnouts and plain track. Change default sleeper spacing for turnouts. Change the length of the machined ends on checkrails. Any suggestions? Thanks posted: 10 Jun 2009 23:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mike, Change sleeper width for both turnouts and plain track.

In UK track, they are not the same width. In version 091c, click the real> timbering> timbering data... menu item. Click the more info F1 button, and the ...
... way to do that all in one go. But do you need to change all of them? The minimum radius is only meaningful while you are making adjustments to the control template. Once you have stored the template, the minimum radius setting plays no further part in anything. You could leave changing the setting until you actually need to make adjustments to each template. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Aug 2010 20:44 from: richard_t Thanks.
