... am certain he has these in stock posted: 26 Apr 2020 14:20 from: Kenilworth59 Hi Martin. While having a good look at the C&L picture to see where the angle of the diamond was written I noticed something which IMHO is wrong. At the right side there are dimensions shown including the 6 foot way which here is measured from the inside faces of the rails. I remember reading a discussion* about the prototype track centres' separation for the 6 foot way that a guy had got wrong as 10' 9"1 /2 because he'd forgotten the two 2" .75 rail thicknesses when measuring from the inner faces. Indeed, I have a C&L EM kit for a B6 turnout and that too measures from the inner face. Am I right that a prodigious company like C&L have it wrong or do I need to get out more? Cheers Paul* I was looking into how much I needed to cut OO Peco turnouts to obtain the prototype track centre distance. Attachment: attach_3010_3642_Track_gauges_imp3 .pdf 75 ...
... the vee and consequently the K numbered timbers had increased in quantity. However the T numbered timbers had decreased in quantity to just two which were overlapping. I am not sure whether to reduce the T to one and adjust it's position slightly or try to space the two timbers a little. I tried the same in P4 and there is a similar change in rail joint position although there are 4 rather than two T timbers My main question is, why is there a change in the position of the rail joints? posted: 10 Jun 2017 18:02 from: Martin Wynne Godfrey Earnshaw wrote: My main question is, why is there a change in the position of the rail joints? Hi Godfrey, You have opened a can of worms which I have been trying to keep the lid on for years. Just trying to explain it is going to create a page full of ifs and buts below.

... but the end rail joint doesn't appear. I've used F4 to roll this out and it never appears. There is also a gap between one panel's sleepers and the next. I've tried shortening the rails in the custom data to make them line up with the last sleeper but that doesn't seem to work either. The rail length entered doesn't seem to be picked up by the program and so no end rail joint even though the first one is there. 412_190434_400000000.jpg Could this be a bug?

I can just about remember using such methods for setting out the the curves of our group ...

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.

... an unacceptable gradient. I model in P4 so no traction tyres! I therefore produced a second design as can be seen in 'New Layout rev2_07_07_09_1753_51.box'. I believe that this is more accommodating and provides the height/gradient profile required. I am modelling OHLE so a larger than normal height clearance is necessary. To the left of the junction you can see the return curve which was the topic of an earlier question. Thanks for your help and all suggestions/criticisms are welcome. Cheers, Brian posted: 15 Aug 2007 10:26 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, brian_tuckey.png ©Peco Wow! Even after stretching it by 50% the curves are looking tight in P4. The low-level through station can be eased by putting the whole thing on a curve. Does the upper terminus have to be dead straight? You could ease the crossovers in the approach curve by curving that station too. Your junction problem could be solved I think by changing from a burrowing junction to a flying junction. This not only puts the through route on ...

Hi Graham, I'm assuming by "the image" you mean the trackpad screen view rather than background picture shapes? (There are several options available for those when scaling (resizing) them and synchronising them with template moves.) For panning and zooming on the trackpad there are a dozen different options and settings, depending on whether you want to use: the mouse ...
... topic: 3105 Large format printing posted: 12 Oct 2017 12:47 from: Nigel Cornish Hi, I am the project manager for a new build '00' layout at the High Wycombe& District Model Railway Society. It is a representation of Oxford station and environs around august 1960. It is some 32ft long and 10 ft wide. The scenic part is around 32ft x 4ft and it is this that I would like to print out, preferably on a continuous sheet of paper. Are there any commercial printers who can take a Templot file and print out the layout to scale? Regards Nigel. posted: 12 Oct 2017 12:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Nigel, Welcome to Templot Club. Yes, you can export your track plan from Templot as a PDF file, which can be printed by many commercial printers as a single roll sheet. The usual width limit is 42". See for example this topic for more details: topic 2983 I don't know of any company offering to print directly from Templot .box files, but ...

The "add file" is also a very good option, never thought of it to use it for single templates, i only used it to get groups(box files of bits and pieces of my entire layout) in ...

... 13 from: Martin Wynne Following a post on RMweb this morning it has dawned on me that a whole tranche of Templot users may not be aware of this most basic instruction: Are you using a laptop computer? On many laptops in order to get the F keys to work in the traditional way for Templot it is necessary to first press a key marked Function or Fn or F-Lock or Fn-Lock or some such, usually coloured brown or blue. See your computer manual. When the Templot docs were written 10 years ago most computers were desktops. That situation has now changed (although not here -- my one and only laptop is out on loan to a friend and not missed). I've added an emergency note to the tip of the week, but before I add it properly to the docs, I need to know exactly how this button is worded on different laptops, its colour, and where it is the keyboard. If you have a laptop with one of these buttons, perhaps you could reply here with those ...

937. Strange crossover
... that for both turnouts leaves a gap between the turnouts, which you can fill with a short length of plain track. The length and radius of that track can be easily adjusted manually to fit. Usually you would want to follow that up with some timber shoving to tidy things up. Here's a short video showing how to create a curved crossover with the tracks at 25ft centres (100mm in 4mm scale): new video: widely-spaced crossover 3 minutes, 2.5MB (feasible for slow dial-up -- about 10 minutes download).

... would be a Y or V shape. That is the best I can describe I'm afraid posted: 23 Nov 2017 22:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Peter, Welcome to Templot Club. Your description is a bit difficult to follow. In general, short turnouts have steeper/sharper V-crossing angles, turnouts with shallow/flatter V-crossing angles are longer. Here are two turnouts to illustrate that: 2_231715_250000000.png The top one has a 1:4 V-crossing. The bottom one has a 1:10 V-crossing. The easy way to change between these and other sizes in-between is to use the F5 mouse action. If you could post a screenshot or sketch showing what you are trying to achieve, it will be easier to provide a better answer. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Nov 2017 22:30 from: Andrew Barrowman "In general, short turnouts have steeper/sharper V-crossing angles" But the pointy bit is sharper on the bottom one posted: 23 Nov 2017 22: ...
