... topic: 703 Combined inside and outside slip road posted: 17 Jan 2009 23:09 from: Martin Wynne This picture hasn't had an airing for a few years, so having just posted it on RMweb I thought I should post it here again. It's an unusual one -- the slip road is an inside slip at the far end and outside slip at the near end: inside_outside_slip.jpg Not many of those about!

PayPal wanted a bank account number to remit the funds to,they got one-a "junk" bank account opened for the purpose that never has very much money in it. Since then any payment always defaults to "pay directly from the bank" and has to be manually changed to pay by credit card. PayPal charges the vendor the same amount whether the customer pays by credit card or any other method, but ...

... rail (not copper clad sleepers)? And finally, if I do go s/h Peco route, is it possible to remove the 'bent' sleeper without risking the geometry going all wobbly. I notice Peco have taken their product list off their web site, or at least I can't find it. Seems a bit bizzare when I might want to buy their products iff I can find the specifications so I can see what I can fit in. I can't justify buying their catalogue on the off-chance that the few pages of 7mm standard gauge may, or may not, be of use. Thanks in advance.

... topic: 744 Somewhere for Brummie Emu's to run. posted: 28 Feb 2009 19:56 from: davelong I'm seriously contemplating ordering a few EMU kits from Dc kits before they run out as they are to be retooled. Along with southern pride kits I'm pondering a Brummie based ohle layout set in the mid 80s. What I'm after with this is somewhere Birmingham based with wires to justify the EMUs, but to be commuter based. In other words I want to run emus and wires without having to use long express trains and coaching rakes etc. So thinking wise I first looked at Aston, with its junctions, in the 80s the Trent valley wasn't electrified so I can use a good mix of Dmus and Emus together. But I wasn't happy with building Aston. Then I've a fascination for Duddeston, but then I want to keep the layout in quite a compact width, so obviously I'm unable to model the carriage sidings or the Wagon repair works or the multitude of other sidings based at Duddeston. So with this in mind I've tried ...
... topic: 740 Bawtry ECML Inter-war posted: 22 Feb 2009 16:11 from: Andrew Fendick A few years ago I became interested in modelling again, after a break of 20 years or more (work, family, you know how it goes, there never seams to be time for the really important things). I was looking round for a suitable source of inspiration when I came a across a book my father had purchased several years previously, Return to Bawtry by Jack Smith (The Waterdale Press, 1992, ISBN 0 906976 33 2). Jack Smith spent 13 years at Bawtry, where his father was Station Master from 1930. I had lived at Bawtry during the 1980's but until I read this book I hadn't thought of using it as the prototype, the station at the time I lived there having been closed for many years. The book showed a busy little station with local passenger workings to Doncaster and Grantham, a goods yard, coal train loops and storage sidings, and main line express trains thundering past. ...
... colour pdf. There is no workaround for this at present, but I will add an override to ignore the reported printer capabilities and just send it regardless. As an alternative to pdf995, the free trial of pdfFactory is fully functional with no time limit, if you don't mind a logo overprint on each page: http://www.fineprint.com/products/pdffactory/ Likewise Win2PDF, which prints additional pages in the free trial mode: http://www.win2pdf.com/products/win2pdf.htm I tested several of these PDF generators a few years ago and came to the conclusion that Win2PDF produced the best match to Templot's native print output. But that was then -- no doubt they have all upgraded since then, and also we now have the excellent Foxit Reader as an alternative to Adobe for printing PDF files. The most important point is to remember to set page scaling to "None" when printing templates from PDF. regards, Martin.

810. Shoving sleepers
... use longer timbers or more of them than is strictly necessary. I did a bit of timber shoving on your templates to create this: shove_exit.png On sleepers A46 to A56 I moved each one forwards or back a little until it fitted clear between the sleepers in the main road. To assist in this, I twisted the first exit sleeper in the main road a little, too. Timbering styles and practice varied a lot, and the only true guide is a photograph of your prototype location and period. But there are a few guiding principles: Special switch and crossing chairs can fit the rails only at pre-determined positions. They must have some timber under them. This often means using more timbers, or wider timbers, so that the chairs are firmly supported and the chair screws are not too near to the edge of a timber. Timbers should be as near as possible at right-angles to the rails. This creates the strongest track, able to resist gauge-spread. This is especially important on curved tracks. Timbers must be ...

Jim Hale (the current software developer) knows about this and is attempting to find a fix. The problem seems to be related to the date, and will correct itself when the topics fall out of scope of the "Recent Topics" list. That's currently set to 14 days, so these topics should sort themselves out in a few days time. If they don't, try reading them again when they are more than 14 days old. They should also fix themselves if someone posts a new message in them. Sorry about the inconvenience. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Nov 2008 15:53 from: Phil O Hi Martin Many thanks for the info.

... video you pointed out to me. Hi Simon, Do you mean this one scanned by Jim? mrn_scan.jpg It's designed for 0 gauge, and like many published plans when you start to design it properly you find that lots of things don't fit very well. On this one there are no real transition curves between the sharp curves and the straight section with the pointwork in the station throat. It's all a bit too abrupt to look right. So I rotated it round to the more usual arrangement, pulled it apart by a few inches, and shifted the pointwork area sideways by about an inch to allow for better transitions: mrn_plan.jpg I then tried it in EM, with this result: mrn_overlay.png mrn_overlay1.png It would be much better to replace the straight section with a gentle curve. That would have the effect of pushing the transition zones further out, and avoid having the pointwork on the transition zones. It would be even better to make the layout even longer and gain a bit more space for this station throat. But of course, once you start ...
... plans my working assumption was a room 9' wide. I am worried that a room only 8' wide would not allow enough space for the 90 degree curve. Given the absolute importance of such a curve being reliably negotiated by trains do you think that 8' will give enough width for reliable operation round the curve? I anticipate using transition curves to smooth passage through it. Has any one any experience of successfully working a P4 layout with such a configuration? Or being unsuccessful!? TIA. Ian P.S.

... cutting or machining in the majority of rail used on a layout. The only heat treatment I've used on rail is with the 2mm Association Code 40 "squashed wire" rail, which comes in a coil and can be a bit problematic to straighten. So cut it into half metre lengths- grab one end in a vice and hold the other end in a clamp and apply a Graskop RSU at full whack to the rail and give a good yank when it goes black and smokes- voila- straight rail I give a few more yanks which I think work hardens it again so that it doesn't kink when you look askance at it.

816. Track Gauges
... . regards, Martin. posted: 13 Jun 2008 00:55 from: Glen Suckling BeamEnds wrote: Oh, and what is there preferred type- roller type things or....? Peronally I prefer the three point track gauge, especially on curves- it lets you open up the gauge slightly on a curve which always helps with the tight curves that we use on models. On a six foot radius I end up with about 32.1mm face to face. Four foot radius (which I only use on a few industrial sidings) gives almost 32.2mm and, of course, 32.0mm on tangent track. However, I know that I am in a minority on this; most people seem to prefer the roller type gauges. I do use the roller type gauges on tangent track and points.

... topic: 468 First Track Plan Attempt posted: 28 Jun 2008 02:17 from: Mark B. Hi All, First I had better introduce myself. I'm Mark Burgess and whilst having had Templot for a few years now have only really played with it. This is a plan from an Iain Rice book called Witheridge based on the Culm Valley railway. I scanned the plan into Templot and overlaid the track onto it as accuratley as possible. I therefore have added the file to this post (if I have done it right) for you to see. Hopefully if I have made any real errors the experts out there can help me out I look forward to comments both good and bad.

... Watch it happen at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/flash/starter/em_starter.html You have made a mistake with the radius. If the outer turnout is on 2100mm radius, and the track centres are 87mm apart, the inner turnout will be on a radius of -2013mm (negative radius for the contraflexure). i.e. 87- 2100= -2013 But as I said, Templot does all this for you.
