781. Tandem Video
... topic: 230 Tandem Video posted: 10 Nov 2007 17:08 from: Rob Haskins Martyn, I am attempting to produce a tandem turnout following the instructions shown in the video. In trying to amend the angle of the third vee I cannot find the drop down menu which contains the LOCK SWITCH (IN F5) command. I am using version 0.82d. Could you advise please.

Hi Rob, Right-click on the pad after selecting F5 (or while using F5). In the videos, a left-click is shown with red expanding circles round the mouse pointer, and a right-click is shown with blue expanding circles round the mouse pointer. Sorry if I haven't actually mentioned this anywhere. With the switch or V-crossing locked in F5, the header bar in ...
... over the length of the curve so that the canted wing rails can lie level. They should be fractionally above the level of the vee nose to allow for the coning angle on the wheels, but that is done by removing metal from the vee top** (3 /16" at the tip, running out in 15"). See the section through the knuckle in this diagram of an REA bullhead crossing: 2_050420_590000000.png On GWR crossings, the knuckle radius matches the crossing angle in feet. So a 1:10 crossing has a 10ft radius at the knuckle, and so on. On REA crossings (diagram above) the knuckle gap is specified instead, and the rail is curved to a knuckle radius accordingly. For a 1:10 crossing, the knuckle gap is 2.5/32" (i.e. the knuckle gap is wider than the normal flangeway gap of 1.3/4 "). Here's a pic showing an almost as-new bullhead crossing. You can see from the wear pattern on the knuckle radius how the twist ...

... :57 from: Andrew Fendick Hi Martin, Thanks very much for the link, I shall get the Permanent Way book ordered. posted: 23 Feb 2009 08:44 from: Jim Guthrie Andrew Fendick wrote: The most difficult parts have been the crossovers as the main line is on a curve, so to get the crossing lines to match the plan there are different entry and exit angles, which I think will cause a kink in the line which shouldn't be there. Andrew I notice a crossover with a radius of 10"- close to the slips in the middle of the plan. Otherwise it looks a very good representation of the original. Should there be wagon turntables on the section of track at right angles to everything else in the yard area?

... the same problem occurring on 4mm scale 00 gauge slips. Practically, you are probably going to have to lay the slip rail, then cut and file a piece of rail to solder or glue to the back of the slip rail that reproduces as much of the check rail as you can squeeze in. I think you will find the same situation in RTR slips made to coarser track standards. Or you can start modelling in exact scale Proto:Z to avoid the problem.

... 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> ...
... then add chairs and rail. With components such as C+ L's soldered up Common Crossings and ready to use Switch Blades, track making is as easy as any other facet of our hobby. If you still prefer riveted construction, you can use any of the above. And we also have separate 8'-6" and 9' sleepers, with accurately spaced holes for both EM& P4- as I said previously, no more 'one size fits all'. These are complemented by timbers, 18" long and 10", 12" and 14" wide- all cut by laser, with an accuracy that no guillotine or slitting saw can match. And due to the gauge specific sizes, you can use rivets with smaller heads, thus easing the job of adding cosmetic chairs. We are making a start in in 4mm, but will supply 2mm, 3mm, S Gauge, 7mm and Scale7 ASAP. We have no fixed timetable- if you want something now, just ask. But there is more. Buildings- nothing can ...
796. Circle segmentation
... topic: 1366 Circle segmentation posted: 9 Feb 2011 12:10 from: Gordon S Hi Guys, I'm considering building a 2.6m diameter helix and have mapped all the trackwork out with tracked edges to enable me to machine cut 12 pieces to build one complete circle. I found the menu item 'swing angles' and set that to 30 degrees and that seems fine, but it hasn't added the lines from the centre to enable me to accurately cut the segments. At present I've simply drawn the lines across the template using the ends of the track bed edges as a guide. Is there a way of adding the radial lines to make accurate segments? You only need to be a fraction out on each of 12 pieces to find you have not made a true circle. posted: 9 Feb 2011 13:11 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Is there a way of adding the radial lines to make accurate segments?

... check it was actually buildable before I decide to make a layout from it I've done my best to follow the track plan, but have been having trouble with transition curves and reverse curves... surprised? I think I'm pretty close, but am a bit worried about some of the tight curves and there may be some changes of direction which are too sudden. Is anyone willing to give it a look over and point out the troublespots?

I have not looked in detail, but I did quickly check out one "obvious" aspect- I notice that you have a lot of points which are- for example A 4.5. or B5. Such points are very inefficient in terms of use of space, resulting in very sharp minimum radii. I suggest that you go through and change each of the switches (Template> Switch options) and change them to "9 foot straight ...
798. 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 ...

On the other hand, if you can convert them to PNG format in an image editor program, you can then attach them easily or upload them to the Image Gallery instead. I notice that you are using the unusual scale of 1:50 (6.1mm/ft). Are you actually modelling in that scale? regards, Martin. posted: 29 May 2010 10:40 from: Bill Fay Martin, Many thanks. I will obviously have to learn about zipped files! However, being purely track plans they are not too big; the largest being about 650KB. My moddeling attempts are actually 2mmFS. For this exercise I wanted to stick to a true scale, in order to be as accurate as possible and not become diverted by wing rail gaps etc. being sightly off- 1:50 chosen largely at random, it sounded like a proper engineers scale!

... 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".

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.
