... I must be doing something silly- can anyone help. Another problem coming up) Paul posted: 8 Feb 2011 09:52 from: Alan Turner Templot dosen't do what you want at present. The easiest way is to simply overlay the two curves and then hand sketch the crossings on the printed template. There is a topic on here that takes you through the steps of making what you want.

1083. American templates
... posted: 17 Sep 2011 13:50 from: leo_sandstrom Hi Martin My question is sortof related to this topic so Ill just post it here instead of creating a new thread for it. I have downloaded your samples above and they seem to work just fine after conversion to my scale (N scale) I had no problems changing the frog angle to #12. However when I want to make longer turnouts I presume I also need longer points. From what I can gather 16'6" points are ok up to about #10 turnout. After that 19' points are used. But I cannot seem to understand how I am to extend the points to 19' points, can you help me with instructions for that? I am using Templot 0,91c. Regards /Leo posted: 17 Sep 2011 16:29 from: Alan Turner Template/switch options then select your switch. use of F5 should extend the switches automaticaly but you can overide that by the above.

... new employer (which happens to be me) requires the use of MS Windows for the purpose of industry specific software, and I have transferred Templot to this (I did ask myself if this was ok!) and I have to say that I don't want to go near Parallels again.

... topic: 1236 Maximum Width of Timbers Used on the railways posted: 8 Sep 2010 17:15 from: Brian Nicholls Hi All, Can anyone please advise me as to what the maximum width of timbers were used on the real (prototype) railway? In particular related to the L& NWR or LMSR or MR track-work, any time between 1880- 1940. I know the standard sizes usually used are, 10" and 12" width timbers, but would like to know the max. ever used. The reason for my question is, that I have, in several places, two adjacent Vee's+ wing rails and the timbers do not quite line up and are awkwardly angled to each other. The solution would be to use a single, but much wider, timber at a nominal angle between the two Vee's, and the same for the wing rails. Now I could just put wider timbers in to finish the job, but I do not want to contravene prototypical standards. Best regards. Brian Nicholls. posted: ...
... I'm not really happy with them- they need to slew past three water butts, and one line can "tunnel" through some camellia foliage. The plan attached is from an overlay supplied by GMCRO, but the terms of use don't allow me to post it. Interestingly the tandems at the end of the platforms don't allow for large locomotives to run round (I've allowed space for a class 25), and the 3 lines are to standard rail centres. I've based my checkrails on a min of 8 chains, as 10 chains meant check rails everywhere- which looking at pictures of Manchester Central was pretty much the case (although pictures of lower numbered platforms are hard to come by, esp. in bullhead times.) I'm not overly happy with the timbering in the areas where the formation is complex, so any advice for these would be appreciated. I've also attached a picture of the layout. Any comments are more than welcome. PS: Does anyone have any drawings of hydraulic buffers (and associated works), similar to http: ...

... can be checked, and a rub with abrasive paper will radius the tip corner from a knife edge to something comparable with the prototype which will be robust enough in service. I originally prepared this diagram for use in a much longer write-up somewhere, but at present I can't find it. It was to demonstrate that filing switch rails is quite straightforward and doesn't need expensive jigs. *prototype web thickness is 3/4" against an overall width of 2.3/4". But that would scale to less than 10 thou in 4mm scale and I don't believe such rail would be practical. All code 75 bullhead rail I have measured has a web thickness around 18 to 20 thou, i.e. approximately half the overall width of 36 thou. In the larger scales the rail section may be nearer to exact scale, in which case the diagram would not apply. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Oct 2010 17:11 from: Bill_Lobb Martin Wynne wrote: Oh dear, do we need a handy hint to explain the handy hint ...

... topic: 1270 D12 slip or D12 scissors in P4 posted: 10 Oct 2010 22:30 from: Richard Spratt The entrance to the extended Awrhyllgwami Quarry fiddle yard requires a D12 scissors on a 48" radius curve as per the trackplan in the simplified box file (none of the extra Vees have been added). An alternative to this is to slide one pair of crossovers along so that the outer pair lie toe to Vee as per the upper plan in the box file. Is there anything inherently better about either approach? Will one design lead to better running? Or are both design doomed before we start? Thanks. Attachment: attach_917_1270_D12_options.box 369 posted: 11 Oct 2010 17:03 from: JFS Just had a quick look- couple of comments. On your top option, the switches come "inside" the checks for the common crossings- when you open it out it takes up a fair bit of length. On the Scissors option, there might be issues of how to adequately check the vees for the two "inner" ...
1094. Struggling with a tandem
... topic: 1269 Struggling with a tandem posted: 10 Oct 2010 15:58 from: philchudley I know others cannot see my machine but I hope I can be pointed in the right direction. I have downloaded the video on the creattion of a tandem but am struggling to achieve exactly the same behaviour as the video when it comes to the F5 resizing of the crossing angle. I have followed the video, set the angle crossing options to any angle Set the peg on FP Press F5 Right click and select Lock switch But, in the video the sizing appears to "swing" and resize just the crossing angle (as expected), but when I try, the switch length still resizes slowly affecting the crossing angle, as if the right-click setting Lock Switch is being ignored.

Any help would be most appreciated Cheers Phil posted: 9 Nov 2010 14:07 from: Martin Wynne philchudley wrote: in ...
... I realised my solution didn't have transition curves but I didn't know how to get peg align to work with transitions. I have sweated blood and tears over using peg align to make a transition between transitions (if you follow me), but I clearly hadn't read all your instructions properly because I didn't know you had to have the peg at the "business end" of the transition. I've just tried Richard's example again and it worked beautifully! I look forward to a new era in using transition curves. Robert posted: 10 Nov 2010 12:14 from: richard_t Many thanks both.

... topic: 1288 Sticking plots to baseboards posted: 18 Nov 2010 10:53 from: newport_rod Hello We've printed out a plot of the fiddle yard (30+ feet long, see Little Mill Junction in Share and show). We'd like to glue the plot to the baseboards to make tracklaying easier. We avoided wallpaper paste and PVA for fear that a) the ink may run and b) the paper might expand leading to inaccuracies and bubbling. So we tried a varnish, as it happened a water-based one, on a test section. The ink didn't run but the paper swelled leading to both bubbling and a 2mm expansion in approx 600mm. What experience to other Templotters of gluing plots down have? And advice would be appreciated. posted: 18 Nov 2010 16:47 from: Phil O Hi newport_rod wrote: Hello We've printed out a plot of the fiddle yard (30+ feet long, see Little Mill Junction in Share and show).
