If the angles differ, the result will be an irregular diamond crossing. If the angles are the same, the result will be a regular diamond-crossing. Method 2. Start with a turnout having a curviform V-crossing. Click the tools> make ladder crossover> make curviform ladder menu item. Click it again a few more times. The above two methods can cope with having a transition curve in the main road, although you will probably need to follow up with some adjustments to the transition zone to get the desired result. Method 3. Start with two lengths of curved plain track crossing over each other, or one curved and one straight length. One should be a background template and the other the control template. Click on the background template. On its menu, click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection ...
... from: RogerW Currently I am trying (and generally succeeding) in getting someone else's rather complex layout, a 4 track terminal station and approaches, actually running. It was designed in Templot but whoever built it has not stuck to the plans, did not appear to believe in using track gauges, or had any idea about how to use check rails correctly. Note, I had never worked on C&L glued chaired track before, but have worked with soldered PCB sleeper track. After going round the bend for a few weeks and not getting anywhere on two particular points, I obtained a set of C&L roller gauges from their stand at GOG Telford. 1/ I found that every point was under-gauge- no wonder things had been jamming or jumping off. 2/ There were some absolutely terrible dog-legs at board joints that needed attention and a lot of "packing and jacking" has had to be retrospectively carried out to level out some horrible dips. 3/ Over the whole complex, many check rails were ...
... bogies or axles, and other variables in a model. Prototypically it is too close, but you may decide that it is acceptable to avoid reworking the track plan. You could try printing out the templates and carefully standing your longest vehicles on them to check the running clearance. tools> spacing-ring dummy vehicle menu item: 2_260857_540000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 26 Aug 2014 00:05 from: Tony W Hi Michael. I have been having a quick look at your track plan and yes, there are a few issues with the track spacing in places. Hopefully Martin has already pointed you in the right direction. Your biggest problem is with the two inside curves at the bottom of the track plan, but there are others. I have checked the track centre spacing of your templates and these are set to the default for straight track of 44.67mm. I will have another look at tomorrow and get back to you. Not sure just how big a job correcting things will be until I have done so. Regards Tony W. posted ...
884. Single slips
... I encountered a similar issue with the opposite one as well. I think I sorted that as well. 2110_070734_300000000.png undefined I will upload the pdf of the printout next Attachment: attach_1904_2496_upslip_crossover .box 169 posted: 7 Aug 2014 12:45 from: Trevor Walling Hello, Here is the pdf. I would appreciate if any errors or omissions could be pointed out please. The inverting and swapping hands in the process used is easy to mess up. I don't think that can be helped till one uses Templot doing the same procedures a few times. Thank You. Trevor. Attachment: attach_1905_2496_upslipcrossover.p df 220 posted: 7 Aug 2014 13:52 from: Martin Wynne That looks good Trevor. For overscale flangeways in 00 you need to change to half-diamond timbering as model so that the tips of the diamond point rails are properly supported on a timber. This avoids having to do timber shoving afterwards. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Aug 2014 21:12 from: Trevor Walling Hello, Here is the up-down-slip-crossover that ...

There is a picture somewhere of a LSWR switch-diamond at Waterloo in the 1900s. There were several patent designs for improved K-crossings at that period. regards, Martin. posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:17 from: Jim S-W Thanks Martin.

... softish workboard material under the template. Drill a 1mm hole with mini-drill, through the copper-clad and into the board, abrade off any copper burrs, and push in the pin. They have ribs under the head and are a firm push fit. There is no need to solder them separately -- you can do it all in one go when you are soldering the rail. Prise up the finished the turnout from the workboard and trim off flush the protruding pins from the underside. You could leave a few for invisible electrical connections. Make sure when laying that nothing can short the underside of the pins (as you would with Brook-Smith rivets). Don't forget to gap the copper-clad. We are talking 40 years ago, and much to my surprise the Vero pins are still available, and not desperately expensive: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p /terminal-posts/6319596/ Here's the manufacturer's drawing: http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0e57/0900766b80e578ba.pdf Templot ...

... topic: 2540 Scaleforum- Templot help posted: 25 Sep 2014 11:39 from: Martin Wynne I'm intending to be at Scaleforum on Saturday afternoon. I shall have a tablet computer running Templot with me if anyone would like a few minutes help with the program. This idea worked quite well at ExpoEM North. But I would also like time to see the show, so this would be help with using the Templot program itself. Howard Bolton (JFS of this parish) is doing the in-depth trackwork discussions on his demo stand. Looking forward to meeting everyone, regards, Martin.

893. DCC question
... topic: 2550 DCC question posted: 9 Oct 2014 15:20 from: Ed Callaghan I have a Lenz 100 DCC system comprising LH100 keypad, LZV100 command station and TR150 transformer. The LZV100 is not marked with any version number but I bought the kit new from MacKay Models in 2005. As of a few days ago, whenever I turn it on the red light on the LZV100 flashes rapidly and nothing runs. I suspected a short-circuit but couldn't find any, and the flashing still occurs even when I disconnect the LZV100 from the track. The manual on the Lenz website says at page 38 this is due to either incorrect connection (which I've checked) or "overheating of amplifier". I don't know what an amplifier is (in this context!) but assume it's a component of the LZV100. And presumably overheating isn't the issue because the problem is there from cold. I'd be grateful to know if anybody has had this problem or knows how to cure it, or do I need a new LZV100? posted: ...
... topic: 2549 Saving a Background Shape help posted: 7 Oct 2014 21:47 from: orionstars Hello Everyone, My name is Pete and I am a newbie to Templot. I have been reading the forums for the past few weeks, watched the videos several times, probably read most of the old and new Companion sites twice (truly). I think I am really going to enjoy this program- and cutting my teeth on the curve of learning (after the above though it's doesn't seem to daunting) and becoming very acquainted with my lack of railroading knowledge after 20ish years of active modeling. It's amazing what I just never thought about all this time! Regardless- I do have a question, I have loaded a scanned image of a hand drawn route map as a background shape (thank you Martin for the clear and concise how-to's worked like a charm). I drew some track segments to get a feel of this next step, again went okay I think. Though when I try to save the file in the ...

I know there are many articles on her for version 1 of Templot and some for V2. I have followed the video tutorial and seem to have made a few errors but have got to the point of sticking the 3rd "cut down" turnout on top. In the video it shows how to match the radius up with the main 2 points, but the wording is different. I have tried it in all combinations On both the first and second turnout. Could anyone tell me which is the correct bit of data to follow? I am using a B6 and C8. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Derek posted: 20 Oct 2014 21:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Derek, The tandem video is well out of date and was made before the introduction of gaunt turnouts and irregular half-diamonds, either of which make a better partial template for the 3rd V- ...

897. Lack of Trap Points?
... back on FPLs in a moment. posted: 28 Feb 2015 10:49 from: D Foster Meanwhile... 2nd issue... 2. FPLs The BoT, MoT etc Require all points that are normally Facing for movements Carrying Passengers to be fitted with Facing Point Locks. This may be a mechanical FPL, a self-locking Point Mechanism (point motor) or a Clamp-Lock drive. (Clamp Locks don't actually comply with the strict letter of the Requirements but they have been accepted practice for a few decades now- they do the necessary job). Anywhere not normally being used for movements Carrying Passengers does not have to have an FPL. This does not, however, mean that these places will not have FPLs. The railway companies were and are free to install FPLs (or equivalent) anywhere they want- because they enhance safe operation. For mechanical FPLs extra provision would historically tend to have only been at places with a very high amount of traffic- such as at the exit from very busy marshalling yards or ...

I note there is a bolt that doesn't appear to be attached to anything going throughout the rail web between the last two sleepers at the bottom right corner. Clipped track is a pig to model accurately due to the fine nature of the clip material in scale.
