801. slip crossovers
... 20 years ago, which turns out to be still on the server: http://templot.com/info/slips.htm I can't remember if or when I last posted the link, but when I created the make slip function it would have made sense to add the link to the Companion, or include it on its own page. Perhaps I did? Everything is getting a bit muddled in my head these days. http://templot.com/companion/slips.php cheers, Martin. posted: 11 May 2020 21:10 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thanks for the reminder re the slip crossovers- certainly useful. When extending the generated crossover( with or without slip roads) is there an easy way to remember which leg of each half diamond is refered to as approach/branch or exit tracks? When bringing one of the half diamonds back to the control I invariably choose the wrong one when wanting to extend the track. Is it me being slow or just an age related thing?

804. Radstock S&D
... One end then goes through a stud wall into a garage, giving an extra 3m x 0.5m. The left hand end will have Tyning Bridge about 1.3m from the end, which will serve as a scenic break to give a good metre of fiddle area. The station sits to the right of the sidings, and extends through the stud wall. Beyond that is plain twin track as far as I can get it. Any comments gratefully received! Thanks.

You obviously like building double slips -- 4 in a row! You've gone a bit wrong with the track spacings. You've got 5 tracks all at 6ft way, which isn't prototypically correct, although you may have done it intentionally for space reasons. On the prototype, multiple tracks are required to alternate 6ft way minimum and 10ft way minimum, so that there is space on at least one side for staff to be safely ...

... topic: 2861 Background Shapes colour posted: 17 Mar 2016 08:09 from: PaulTownsend An existing file of shapes has colours all very pale yellow so the lines are barely visible after adding a picture. I have tried changing the shapes colour but it doesn't seem to work, although the line thickness switch works, and any individual shape selected appears in red I am sure I have done this before successfully, what am I doing wrong? Last edited on 17 Mar 2016 08:12 by PaulTownsend posted: 17 Mar 2016 10:00 from: PaulTownsend I found the inhibition to change shapes colour is connected with the fact that the imported picture has a frame that is in itself a shape and much larger than the picture. That shape gains the new colour requested. So it seems the picture frame suppresses colour change of other shapes behind it, which is a shame. posted: 17 Mar 2016 12:15 from: Martin Wynne PaulTownsend wrote: So it seems the picture frame suppresses colour change of other shapes behind it, which is a ...
... Templot templates being simply construction aids, to being full descriptive drawings. Bear in mind that for wider than scale model flangeways, for good tracking through K-crossings the check rail bends need to be as sharp as possible, to maximize the checked length. This differs from the situation with the wing-rail knuckle bends in V-crossings. Fortunately, unlike the wing rails, REA check rails are always vertical, which makes it much easier to make sharp bends than in inclined rail. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Jul 2018 08:32 from: richard_t Thanks Martin With so much else going on here, I'm refraining from looking at the Templot codebase, however tempting the prospect is.

Here's a close-up of the K-crossings (this is a double-slip): fb_movablek_dslip.jpg thanks to Mick Nicholson They are used when the crossing angle is flatter than 1:8.

... that is avoided as far as possible because of the rail inclination.) The X8 timber above has 15.5" separation at the position shown, so two bridge chairs will fit, and the timber position isn't tightly controlled by the chair design. It can move a bit to even out the spacings, provided the separation doesn't go below say 14.5". I doubt the gang would go into all this maths -- a bit of chalk and a big hammer seem more likely. regards, Martin. posted: 31 Aug 2017 10:18 from: Judi R Martin, it seems like a hundred years ago since I was in the design office but my memory is that we would use standard straight common crossings unless we were designing a complex junction. Of course a model railway will often need to make compromises and we all love complex trackwork!

... to get large locos round it into the shed. However I have had another go. I pulled the 1:5.5 crossing back about a foot, and eased the 1:7.5 crossing to 1:8. The result is that the ruling curve on the inner curve is now around 1245mm (49") all through. File attached below. Sorry, you have lost me on the 102" radius curve. I'm not aware of changing it from anything else. The regulations require a continuous check rail on curves below 10 chains radius (104" in 4mm/ft) on running lines, but there is no such requirement for yards and sidings. It would depend on the frequency of derailments. I can't see any continuous check rails in the photo. File below. cheers, Martin.

... I should have used the map without rotating it, but I wanted to look at the plan as it will be as a layout. Maybe I could have rotated it while on the NLS site, and made a screenshot then, but I couldn't make that work for some reason, I forget now exactly what I tried to do. I have wondered what the sign resembling a handwritten 'f' is, on the map.

Hi Julian, The elongated "f" or "S" symbols are called "field ties". They link together areas of the map which are included in a single "field parcel" for which the area is calculated and shown on the map. Each parcel in a parish is given a number -- usually all of a parcel of land would have a single landowner ...

Not sure what Ive done wrong as I followed the video for the other I've created (a double crossing) and that seems to have worked ok.

In most cases the rail used in such situations was worn rail cascaded down from main-line use. The difference in overall rail height was 1/4". BS-95R 95lb/yd rail height= 5.23/32nds (5.719) inches.

... curve, so that some crossings are shorter, and some longer: 2_141304_090000000.png Here I changed the turnout at A to a B-6.5, and moved it back a little way round the curve. I made a gently curving branch track from it. Then the diamond at B is around 1:4 and suitable for double outside slip roads. There is just about room between the main roads for the switch. My recent video about moving switches close behind the crossing may help. The diamond at C is about 1:10, so will need to be a switch-diamond, making an interesting double slip. Then the final diamond at D is around 1:6.5 and just about long enough for a conventional inside slip in 00. I imagine the same idea could be applied to the other diagonal road. rather than guessing a number, making the track then using the roll vehicle only to find that it was too wide or not wide enough You shouldn't need to guess, you can now adjust the track spacing by mouse action with a ...

Until the NLS range is extended, they are also available on old-maps.co.uk covering many more towns and cities. I believe they were done by the OS for all towns over 4,000 population.
