... . Does not need to be an exact copy of anything and the runaround may have a platform itself either for additional trains or storage before the turnout Thanks in advance posted: 4 Oct 2019 13:32 from: Phil O I would agree about the bit of string and as it would be a GW bit of string, was the branch a broad gauge one? As this would open up the gap a bit, a platform may add a constraint. As you have mentioned having water stands, I would start at a 10 foot way and work up.

When you explain what you did it all seems very straight forward but I would never had thought of doing it that way, I certainly wasn't aware of the 'Make Simple Link' function. With the return curve being one seperate template, on a constant radius, I can play around with the tandem later today.

864. 85A Trackwork kits
... , Sounds like you took the trouble to make the kits as easy as possible to put together The turned pins on the tie bar are a good idea- I assume the pin is allowed to rotate in the tie bar so no stress is created as the switch rails move. I have been using NS wire soldered to the blades and located in holes in the tie bar. I remember a lot of people just soldered the switch rails directly to a copper clad tie bar- not so good Rob posted: 27 Sep 2019 10:17 from: Nigel Brown I use small brass nails- forget what they're called- shoved through from underneath the tie bar (countersunk so they don't project below the bar), bent over then soldered to the rail. Same idea. Nowhere near as neat! Nigel Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... turnouts are a bit wider at 4mm, is this correct and how they are in the full scale? Thanks for everyone's help. posted: 23 Sep 2019 11:07 from: Martin Wynne Jason Johnson wrote: One thing I have noticed is the sleepers on the turnouts are a bit wider at 4mm, is this correct and how they are in the full scale? Hi Jason, Yes, that's correct for UK practice with traditional wooden bearers. In the UK the bearers under plain track are called sleepers. They are 10 inches wide and 5 inches thick. That scales to 3.3mm wide in 4mm/ft scale models (00, EM, P4). The bearers under turnouts and other pointwork are called crossing timbers, usually just timbers. They are 12 inches wide and 6 inches thick. That scales to 4.0mm wide in 4mm/ft scale models. A few special ones are sometimes wider at 14 inches or even 16 inches where needed to support the chair castings for bullhead rail. Modern concrete bearers do vary a bit in thickness, ...

So providing you know roughly where the label is, you can wave the mouse about until you find it. Perhaps it's easier just to turn them back on for a moment (END key). p.p.s.

The 1mm flangeway check rail chairs are still not available which surprises me. I have tried to construct this part of the trackwork using a vaiety of chairs/methods but I am not happy with any of the results I have achieved so far. Does anyone have any suggestions? Attachment: attach_2216_2829_group_2016_01_21 _1717_40.box 282 posted: 22 Jan 2016 10:15 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, So far so good, I think. Areas of concern: Nothing to do with Templot but I think you may have to be very careful when you come to ballasting. Any water based adhesive (i.e. PVA or Copydex) could cause you great problems as they are likely to affect the wallpaper, which could well shrink on drying resulting in distortion and possibly worse (same goes for any templates left in situ). as to the 1mm flangeway, I'm sure others will ...

Many thanks- RogerW Hi Roger, Inside or outside( or even semi outside) slips ar usually determined by the crossing angle of the tracks. The radius of the rails on the slip tracks needs to be within sensible( lower) limits. Try using the make slip function on tracks crossing at different angles and check out the positioning and radius of the slip ...

... of those sanders in the woodwork kit except it is blue with a different 'makers' name on it. I also have one of these :- 210577_xl.jpg It is a Proxxon TG 125/E and is excellent for more delicate modelling tasks. It is variable speed and just hums quietly when in use. About £160 now I think. Good method for the crossing vees Martin. You can of course make an adjustable jig for holding the assembly on the disc sander table if you wish. Rob posted: 7 Jan 2018 10:51 from: John Palmer I have the Scheppach version of these disc/belt sanders and can also attest to how useful they are. I got acceptable results from the disc sander as a grinder of the backs of switch blades, using an easily fabricated hardwood jig with clamping screw to present the rail to the disc.

These "disappeared" templates (about 20 of them by now) all appear in the Box, but I can do nothing to make them appear on the Background.
