... I might presume that bullhead arrangements might have been similar. I won't actually be building this track (it's for someone else) but I think I might have to think of some way of hingeing the short "K" switch blades.

Message from Jim at Data 1 Systems: Intermittent server outages this Saturday Mar. 24, as we are putting in a larger and upgraded power supply backup. Outages should be no longer than 10 minutes max per server, less than half the servers will be affected. We are also installing server 21, a new class of server with dual quad core processors and 24G of ram.

743. Help for new user
... Working on the outer track I used free position for the turnout but when I came to change its position I could not delete the original position. I have run the tutorial on this and the drop-downs are not on the version 0.74 I am using( since I read it was suggested that this should be used to gain experience before updating). Should I download the update now? Thank you for help.

This would provide direct guidance within Templot for people such as I not copying a prototype design.

So for example if you already have posts numbers 53 and 55 in the list, you can enter post number 54 between them by first selecting number 53 in the list.

... Not being familiar with Tortoise motors (I must get one to familiarise myself), I have to ask would this system be usable with one? In this case I've soldered short pieces of brass strip to the underside of the blades and these strips extend under the stock rails to keep the switch blades vertically aligned to the stock rails. This I think would be essential wouldn't it? This is one of the first things that I thought could be a problem with spring (flexible) points. ken posted: 12 Mar 2010 10:38 from: Dellboy Jim Guthrie wrote: 25_120245_030000000.jpg The TOU is made from Plastikard strip, a bit of 4mm PCB turnout timbering and some brass tube to be not too tight a fit on the brass wire.

... 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.

However, it's only a bit more work (and possibly for accuracy a good idea anyway), to measure the position and angle of each end point of the second track relatives to the corresponding end point of the first track. cheers Nigel posted: 10 Feb 2009 11:47 from: Andy B You could try just 1 or 2 photos that capture the whole formation, then use GIMP (search the forum for Martin's examples of its use) to manipulate the pictures.

I have attached my box file for your perusal and have managed to get as far as placing the third crossing on the the k crossing.
