... topic: 1390 USA Turnouts box file and inserting turnouts.... posted: 25 Feb 2011 10:31 from: BruceNordstrand Hi all Just wondering who created the USA turnouts box file? I ask as it does not seem to match any specs I have found for USA based turnouts. Well, let me qualify that.... I used the USA turnouts box file as the starting point of my layout. I started with a section of plain track from the box file and laid out the basics then inserted turnouts into that plain track. I made the assumption that Templot would insert USA turnouts into the track at the required points on the plans (using Template -> Insert turnout into plain track). However I found out tonight (WAY too late to do anything about it) that, for example, a #6 turnout on my Templot plan is NOT a #6 USA turnout, well at least not according to both the proto87 website or the templates available on handlaidtrack.com. So, have I totally stuffed up and ...

... having said that I still think it's a very nice, simple and cheap solution to the job of filing down point blades. I really do not know what to suggest about the ware problem, if you replace the brass grip plate with a harder steel version, that might last a little longer, but then you will probably ware out the teeth of your file sooner !! I must admit, you've got me thinking on this one. Well done Howard. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 27 Mar 2011 10:05 from: JFS Hi Brian, To be honest, the wear is no issue at all- we are not into mass production, but when it is worn out, just make another!!! I think I made the whole thing in a morning and drank plenty of tea in the same timeframe! The thing is that the wearing parts are filing GUIDES- the file should only very lightly brush against them, never with any weight over that part of the file. In the case of the wooden bridge ...

1067. iPlot
... actually to do with the iPad. As it is not as powerful as most desktop PCs most of the calculations are performed in skeleton mode where only the centre line is drawn during dragging. It then takes up to a second to draw the rails and sleepers once you release the drag. The third disadvantage is cost. It is not a cheap and other apps, but then it is a niche product.

... a simple crossover doesn't work most of the time as one or other of the turnouts goes over the end of the associated plain track section and produces a crossover to nowhere! It works fine of course if the whole crossover fits within the double track section length. I suspect my method of splitting up the plain track into short lengths is flawed but I am at a loss to see a better way so far. Sorry if the above description isn't the best thought out one. Anybody ?? Rob posted: 18 Apr 2011 10:49 from: JFS Hi Rob, It goes wrong of course for exactly the reason you suggest!! You need to join your "bits" with transition curves, then delete the original "bits" That way you end up with one continuous length of track with compound curves. (see Martin's transition curve video). If you insert a turnout into that, it can be roamed along then whole length. Beware that when you make it into a crossover, the alignment of the newly created second track will ...
1073. Crossing angle warning
... 1:4" Yes, I know it is! This is actually for a half-diamond so the warning isn't really relevant- could you consider losing it from the next PUG? Please Hi Paul, Yes, I had already removed it for half-diamond templates. The warning will show only for turnouts, and only if the track gauge is wider than 4ft. That also fixes the bug which allows the warning to go on showing after converting to plain track. regards, Martin. posted: 1 May 2011 10:37 from: Paul Boyd Excellent- thank you!

... use< action>< mouse actions: real>< adjust turnout size only (F5)> When the icon window for the F5 size appears, do the following: Right click on the mouse buttons and from the popup menu select< lock switch( in F5)>. Then adjust until the two track centre lines converging point of the diamond, matches that of the crossing point formed by the centre lines of the two Guide Curves. You will need to zoom in to achieve accurate line up. As in Figure 10 in my instruction document. You will need to ZOOM in very close to the centre line crossing point, then re-select F5 in order to accurately position the half diamond centre lines. Do not worry about one of the half diamond centre line not quite lining up with the centre line of Guide Curve, as this is not significant at this time, but do ensure the crossing point centre is correctly aligned by the other half diamond centre line. This will now give you an overlapping template to that previously set down ...

... of 1:8.13 -- i.e above the new limit and therefore it has switched K-crossings. This is going to be a fairly rare occurrence, but I have a note in the book to fix it. I think the best solution will be to ignore the limit for the second half-diamond and ensure that it always matches the first one, regardless of the angle. But it's not in there yet -- another hole waiting to be fixed. regards, Martin. posted: 24 May 2011 00:10 from: Brian Nicholls Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Brian, Paul, I'm aware of this problem and accordingly I have made a slight change in TDV -- the automatic change now takes place at 1:8.125 instead of 1:8.

This was necessary for Quick mode, where the control template is considered part of the track plan. This means that there is always one more template in the .box file than in the storage box from which it was saved. It seems I need to do a bit more work on this. Thanks for reporting it ...
