... a long time (when I did I think they were Seep). I currently use Tortoise point motors, and install the switch blades as per the prototype; i.e. I've built GWR flexible switches, with the switch blade heel held in place by two chairs, and GWR loose heel switches, where the heel pivots in a single chair. Both work OK. I think solenoids would work as well, provided that they've got some sort of springing mechanism which will hold the blade in place. posted: 3 Mar 2009 10:14 from: Paul Boyd Hi Sol If so, do you have blades hinged or as one long flexing rail? The answer to that is simply that it depends on the prototype! I would be wary of using solenoids on hand-built turnouts because I feel that the sudden action could stress any soldered or glued joints. Over time, this could result in a failure. If I was to use ready-made turnout motors I would go with Tortoise although I'm experimenting with memory wire motors. Cheers posted: ...

... topic: 3237 Ben Brooksbank posted: 10 Mar 2018 20:28 from: Nigel Brown It appears that Ben has died, sadly, aged 91. Some of you will have come across his extraordinary archive of railway photographs, which he spent the last few years uploading to Geograph. The earliest dates from 1945: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4237989 and the last from 2016: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5354983 There are over 9000 of his pics on Geograph.

823. Modellers block.
... but i still couldnt find anything can anyone help please even if it isnt Brum as such but a prototypical place i can model &base it on the midlands. The timescale for the layout is between the late 80,s early 90,s with sector locos& first gen Dmu,s& Emu,s& also between 2003 to present.

In my case, all of the turnouts will be stub switches. (Martin, you have already given me some pointers in a previous thread on how to simulate that in Templot.)

... topic: 787 Honner Turnout Calculator posted: 12 Apr 2009 20:10 from: William Adkins I thought I would cut my teeth on Templot by designing a Sn3 curved turnout 30" outside radius/28" inner radius. I entered data in a Honner Turnout Calculator and among other values I see that the frog angle is 3.58 degrees. Have others used the Honner Calculator and what values go where in Templot? I'm sure much of my frustration is that I am at the very beginning of a learning curve and that I am unfamiliar with British terminology.

"The equipment comprises two mobile and steerable radio telescopes with parabolic reflectors of 25 metres aperture designed to be capable of operating at high efficiency at any wavelength from several metres down to 10 centimetres. The radio telescopes can be moved along double sets of railway tracks placed on two of the runways of the former Defford airfield. The tracks extend to 750 metres from the intersection, and the baseline joining the radio telescopes can be set along any azimuth and have any length up to the maximum separation of about 1000 metres."© extract from 'Royal Radar Establishment, Malvern (Reports of Observatories)' in Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. 7, p.232.

835. Elevation
... topic: 3238 Elevation posted: 10 Mar 2018 22:40 from: dave turner Hi Martin, Before you scream, or throw your hands up in horror, about the subject please bear with me. One of the interesting things about XTraCad is that it appeared to allow for different levels in a model railway, particularly including vertical transitions. -Note that I'm not talking about the extreme gradients that Hornby Dublo, amongst others offered. My basic question is:- If Templot is used to create plans for a multi-level network how much 'fettling' would be required? For example I've observed that many large models use spirals to transition from one level to another. At sensible gradients could native Templot allow for a change in gradient? My suspicion is not, but how far out would one practically be? (Piece of string)? regards Dave posted: 11 Mar 2018 13:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Templot is neither 2D nor 3D. It is referenced to the rail top, so that the printed output can ...
... . Tried to create a length of straight track using custom rail length and sleeper spacing. Rail is 45m long, but when I started adding sleeper spacings it only accepted 49 (of 69) before closing down the entry screen. In Drawing Pad, I can see the rails shown to length, but only 70% of each length has sleepers. Have I struck a limit, or as I expect am I doing something wrong. can anyone help! thanks; MalcolmE, Wellington, New Zealand posted: 16 Mar 2009 10:55 from: Martin Wynne Hi Malcolm, Welcome to Templot Club. I'm afraid you have hit a limit within Templot -- the maximum number of sleepers per panel of jointed track is 49, as you found. Could you provide a bit more detail about the prototype track? Jointed track with rail lengths of 45 metres (148 ft) seems unusual. Presumably they are sliding expansion joints of some sort? You would need to create these rail lengths as partial templates. After creating the track plan with sleepers missing ...
... see it. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Jul 2009 14:50 from: BruceNordstrand Thanks for all that info Martin, as helpful as ever and very much appreciated. True lapped turnouts are currently beyond my Templot abilities at the moment so I will persevere with what I have. One thing I am doing right at this moment is converting all turnouts in the plan to 11' switch rails. It turns out that the "standard" for #4- #6 turnouts is 11' and #7- #10 are 16' 6". As the largest turnout I have is a #6 it made sense to do the change and the results reflect the nature of coal railroading better with tight, slow speed track around the tipple and ovens. I still haven't located a turnout in the style that generated all this, I have asked a friend of mine if infact I was dreaming and am awaiting a reply. I'll update when I have either further info or a picture (or both) Cheers Bruce Parts of Templot Club may ...
... use something else. Turn the vee round on the block to make the second cut. The result is as shown after making two cuts on the sander. If necessary the bulk of the metal can be quickly removed with a coarse file or metal shears before finishing on the sander. The end result is an accurately aligned vee comprised of solid rail at the nose. All that then remains is to fettle the running edges at the tip and blunt back the nose to the specified width as shown on the template (0.25mm/10 thou for bullhead in 4mm scale). It's a good idea to take a few thou off the top of the nose so that it dips down slightly below the wing rails. This allows for the coning angle on the wheels as they run off the wing rail onto the nose, producing smoother running. But don't overdo it. N.B. Wear a mask while sanding and wash hands afterwards. The sandings will contain lead from the solder. Stick Elastoplast or tape on the ends of your fingers beforehand to protect them if ...

... topic: 1005 Trackbed edges posted: 8 Jan 2010 10:13 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S of this parish has posted on RMweb about using Templot to cut out the trackbed for open-top baseboard construction: Eastwood Town- Update That's brilliant Gordon, thanks for posting it. But there's no need to mark out the trackbed edges yourself -- Templot will draw them for you. Here's a bit of printed template showing the result: 2_080442_440000000.png As you can see, trackbed edges apply to plain track and turnout main roads only. Templot is not too intelligent about this and leaves you to mark the turnout-road side yourself and scribble out any unwanted overlapping marks before cutting. But it's still a lot quicker than marking all the edges yourself. There's rather more to this than meets the eye -- here are the full Help notes from Templot. In particular note the trick via DXF to get the trackbed edges as part of your baseboard outlines in the background shapes:____ Trackbed Width If you are using open-top ...
