841. Bending jig designs
... works fine. This is just as much a question about the prototype as it is model. I've seen the video of the press they use for forming the knuckle bend, but given the infinite curves of real World turnouts how could they possibly have limitless formers for the presses? Derek posted: 22 Oct 2020 21:02 from: Julian Roberts Hi Derek I'm wondering whether you're aiming for an unattainable perfection and whether it is the curve of the wing rails that is causing a problem. Here are mine for a 1 in 10 crossing. I bent them around some round nose pliers, that incidentally taper- each is a cone- not that I'm interested in trying to get rail inclination. I think they may be far from ideal but testing with a wagon gives nice sweet running. Surely it's the alignment that matters most for the running, and level? The latter can be crudely fixed after construction with a big file over the whole area. However apologies if I'm actually considerably under-qualified to make this suggestion. Anyway this photo is from ...

If you do this, be sure to include the scaling factor in the PDF file name (in case you later try to send it to some other printer), and be sure to tell the copyshop to ignore the file name and print at 100% on their machine, as before. Unfortunately there isn't an option to set a different output scaling factor for X and Y directions. regards, Martin. posted: 22 Apr 2017 10:42 from: leswaters Martin I completely forgot about the grid lines and I have taken onboard your suggestion. Just come in from the shed where the 3.1 metre long drawing is now laying on the baseboards. I have laid a pre-built B8 turnout on the drawing and everything is spot on. Very pleased with this outcome. I was getting tired of taping A4 sheets together!!! I have some more questions relating to the next stage of my project but as it is nothing to do with this thread ...

Alan you have come up with something very similar, this was my best effort, though I only did the scenic section. Being fairly new to the software I dont know if this would actually be good enough to make track-building templates, some bits are bodged and over-lapped. I'm starting to get it right on my own smaller layouts though Attachment: attach_191_300_rosegrove_scenic_se ction-templot.jpg 159 posted: 6 Jan 2008 10:07 from: Martin Wynne russ wrote: Simon is a good friend of mine, he has helped operate my layout at exhibitions.

... 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 ...

If it's essential, the way to do it would be to store the control template, include it in the group being moved, and then delete it back into the control template afterwards.

... topic: 3319 Ladder Track Centrelines posted: 14 Aug 2018 14:10 from: Chris Hodge Hi Guys There is probably a simple answer to this. I work in N Gauge using Finetrax and it looks like Wayne works with 23mm centre lines on his crossovers. I have tried setting the adjacent centre lines to 23mm as per one of the dropdown menus. I am trying to set up a fiddle yard with centre lines ot 23mm between tracks. I have drawn two ladders of one RH and 2 LH B6 turnouts at one end and a ladder of one LH and two RH B6 turnouts at the other with a B6 crossover as drawn by templot in the middle, but the straight connecting rails from the crossover to the two ends don't meet correctly as it appears that when the turnouts are joined together to form the ladder, the resulting tracks from the diverging side that will form the storage yard are at different track centres to those set up on the crossover. regards Chris Last edited on 14 Aug 2018 14:23 by Chris Hodge posted: ...
... topic: 133 Prototype: Track, easements, check rails and operations posted: 17 Aug 2007 10:27 from: Roger Henry An Australian report on a goods train derailment makes for interesting reading. The report discusses the effect of curves leading into turnouts. Turnout 'standards'. Causes of derailments due to train- and wheel- dynamics and 'operations'. All relevant to anyone building track and operating model trains. The report features some excellent photos, diagrams and drawings.
