There is only one notch, so it doesn't present the same problem -- geometry> notch> reset notch on pad datum usually moves it out of the way. That should actually say grid datum, not pad datum.

... 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 ...

He has made available for download some very useful drawings and data -- many thanks Allan. He is also looking for someone to create a Templot track plan of their yard at Telford.

Once you have worked through the static "Track Plan" tutorial and have printed a few templates, I suggest upgrading to 091c to learn more and watch the videos. If you don't want to bother with the "Track Plan" tutorial I suggest upgrading to 091c immediately.

... Bruce, Looking good. I made a few small changes -- I tidied up some overlapping templates; changed the turnouts with square-on timbering to ends-in-line; changed one turnout in the yard to a curviform crossing for a better line into the siding. Modified file attached. You have a some B6 curved turnouts which are a bit tight for radius -- there seems to be room to ease them to say B7. 2_110418_590000000.png regards, Martin.

... it. Use all your new learning time to get used to Templot. I was totally baffled by Templot for a while and then things just clicked and most things became second nature. No comment on the EM minimum radius question. The pragmatic answer is probably to build some test lengths of track of a range of different radius curves and see how a converted loco gets on. Longer stock with rigid wheelbases is the stumbling block of course. I had a small layout with a Class 03 shunter and wagons that went down to 10" radius( in OO) to get round a hidden siding. I tested it first before comitting to the full layout. You will need a field trip of course to see if you can find any remains of the Amlwch branch...its lovely round there out of the holiday season.

... a tricky layout which was probably a challenge in full-size; and where P4 is better off than EM. Geoff, I've had similar problems with adequate checking on a scissors and I've found that you can sometimes get out of a hole by widening (or tightening, if you can) the centre line distance of the tracks. This can move the crossing noses sufficiently to allow good checking. The change doesn't have to be large to get a crossing nose moving a significant distance. Jim. posted: 25 Feb 2011 10:37 from: geoff Jim, Thank you for that idea. I'm a bit of a purist at heart and resist compromise!( but then I adopted EM!). I had considered making the offending turnout with a moving frog. Regards, Geoff posted: 25 Feb 2011 14:33 from: Jim Guthrie Geoff, Another thing you can try, if you don't want to change the track centres, is to make the crossing slightly non-symmetrical by moving one of the crossovers in relation to the other ...
