... But I'm having trouble putting in a crossing that doesn't want to align properly. 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. What I cannot seem to manage is to get two tracks running from the end of the crossing that remain parallel/equal distance from each other and putting in a crossing off of them off towards a wharf/dock. undefined undefined Attachment: attach_2235_2853_woolwich_dockyard ch_2016_03_04_1950_53.box 196 posted: 4 Mar 2016 22:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Kelly, Welcome to Templot Club. To have tracks running parallel/concentric, use the tools> make double-track or the tools> make crossover functions to create the second track from the first (having first set the required adjacent track centres). n.b. In the centre of your plan you do not have a full 6ft way between the double tracks, which means there is insufficient passing clearance for vehicles. Use the tools> spacing-ring to check for track spacing, see ...

... rail was originally intended for branch lines, sidings and yards, etc., but in practice very little was used. 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. BS-85R 85lb/yd rail height= 5.15/32nds (5.469) inches. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Mar 2016 23:10 from: DM Would strongly suspect that the timber has been bent and that the thinner rail is not resting as snugly on the chair myself. posted: 29 Mar 2016 23:32 from: alan@york But look at the depth of the head on each side: it looks worn on the left hand side. alan@york Last edited on 29 Mar 2016 23:33 by alan@york Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... topic: 2965 Wheel Profiles 4mm- 00-SF and EM posted: 15 Jan 2017 10:32 from: Godfrey Earnshaw In the EMGS, January 2017, Newsletter, there is a review of a Sutton's Locomotive Works BR Class 24 B0-B0. The reviewer, Phil Tattershall, expressed the following opinion regarding the wheels: "Having given a glowing account so far, I have to report that, on placing my loco on the track I could not detect any side-to-side clearance between the wheelsets and the track. Closer examination revealed that the profile of the EM gauge wheels is identical with that of the NMRA RP25-110 ones supplied for 00 gauge but with longer axles to accommodate a 16.5mm back-to-back. There is no doubt that the loco does run on EM track but, if there is any tightness of gauge on your track, there could perhaps be problems. The attached photo shows the profile of the wheels (00 gauge to avoid me removing the EM ones from the loco). The ...

... built. I have widened the track spacing on the double track curves as best I can and used transition curves to ease the reverse curves, which were very abrupt. Altered the scissors type diamond arrangement to get the vees a bit further from the baseboard joint and less problematic with the timbering there and sorted out a few misaligned track joins. I have also taken Martin's comments into account. I will leave you to do the rest of the timber shoving. Regards Tony.

... chestnut within Templot. It took me a while to master the original sequence of the early versions, but was well worth the effort. Your proposed changes do seem to make sense to me. Drag and drop is very much the way many use computers now, although I must admit that I tend not to that much, but that is my age showing. One gets into old habits. Hopefully if you give people enough options, they will find one that works for them.

Have you found the 25" to mile c1937 maps at the NLS site obviously 1:2500 approx rather than 1:480 but might help.. regards Rodney Hills posted: 1 Aug 2016 10:59 from: Martin Wynne rodney_hills wrote: Hello Martin you recently asked in another place for a 40 ft to the inch plan of Newhaven. Hi Rodney, I may have done, but I have no recollection of doing so, nor can I think of any reason to do it. Are you sure it was me? Can you provide the RMweb link? Yes I know about the 25" mapping of England& Wales on the NLS web site. They started at the south coast working northwards and have currently reached a line roughly from Bristol to Hull, see: http://maps.nls.uk/geo/ ...

... topic: 2902 85a Models posted: 18 Jul 2016 10:20 from: Cartaret Okay, many years ago I built a 7mm layout using C& L components I hand built all of the buildings etc. The Layout went out a couple of times, but at the time I felt that the please had come from the design and construction. Also I had a large H0 Austrian exhibition layout called "Prutz" on the exhibition circuit. I digress... I built a lot of 7mm stock plus loco's. But I also obtained one of the 85a Hunslets.. Lovely model BUT...The coupling rods no longer stay on the loco. Basically this is due to the fact the plastic inserts for the back of the wheels have worn out. Now I don't mind putting a new chassis into the loco, but for the sake of 6 securing inserts made of plastic I could save a lot of my hard earned wedge. Some Modellers have reamed out the wheels to take the Slaters cranks etc and that may be the next course of ...

... Then just remember to plug in the USB stick when working on Templot (or anything else important). regards, Martin. posted: 18 Jul 2016 19:50 from: DerekStuart Thanks Martin. It is a works computer and backs up every time I go into the office or home. This was whilst out and about (waiting for a delayed ferry of all things). That AJC system sounds good as I am quite often away from the office for several days at a time. Given how much I dislike Windows 10 I can see this computer needing repaired (along with the plaster on the wall) before long. The drive was sent away but one of the heads had impacted the platter badly. BTW If anyone ever needs low level data recovery (ie opening the drive in a clean room Vs in a USB caddy) I can recommend East Anglia Data Recovery. No connection other than a customer.
