... to obtain scans of the 1in to 1ft and 1in to 4ft diagrams of this turnout from GMCRO. I first based my plan on the 1in-4ft version, but I had difficulty get the 1:9 crossing (Crossing #3 on the plan) to work out. I then switched to the 1in-1ft version which was in three parts, and needed a lot of working with to make a suitable plan. I still found the 1:9 impossible. On the plan it's ended up as a 1:10-ish, which works well with the rest of the layout of Manchester Central. [The attached version is a mirror image just in case anyone is wondering.] Any comments/feedback, as usual much appreciated. Next is the "Special Layout" on the station approach- mainly tandems, slips, diamonds and B8.5 with a 7.5 diamond through the middle.

... works and how much gauge widening might be needed? I suppose the only way to really ease the minimum would be if you were able to come "into the room" a bit more and take the curve further into the straight part at the righthand end- but that would change things just too much perhaps. Many thanks for sharing your .box. Best Wishes. Howard posted: 30 Dec 2010 16:34 from: wcampbell23 Hi again I had noticed the tight radii but assumed that you were well aware! 9 and 10 foot wheelbase wagons are good down to 30 inch reverse curves without buffer locking but I fear you may have some problems with locos. I realise that you have spent some time on the design but wonder if the crossover and radii on the "main line" would be eased if the crossover function available in Templot were used instead of the partial templates. As Howard suggested working with a continuous curve at the front of the layout would make quite a difference- the plain track at each end need not be straight. I ...

1104. How to get a double slip
... Hi Martin, I recently bought the latest version of Templot from you at 85A Models (v :0.74.b). May I first of all say what a good program it is. The only thing is I can't seem to find out how I can get a template for a formation such as a double slip or possibly a scissors crossover. Maybe I am trying to run before I can walk!, can you give me any help, I model in 'O' gauge. Yours hoping Roger C posted: 17 Jan 2011 10:22 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roger, Thanks for your kind words. Formations such as slips and tandem turnouts are created by overlaying partial templates: slip_road.png In this way you can create such formations in great variety of different sizes, angles, aligned into curved track, etc. As explained in my order confirmation letter, when you are ready to try such designs it is better to upgrade to the Pug version 091c of Templot. This fully supports half-diamond templates and has additional provision for slip roads and slip ...

... onto copperclad sleepers). I did wonder about using a second tiebar moved "one sleeper space" closer to the heel, and change the existing one to a cosmetic tiebar (Mike Clarke actually includes two detailed tiebar etches in the pack, but I have yet to try them). Then the turnout blades could be driven from this "inner" tiebar, where the blade tips are stiffer and consequently the blade tip gap should (or rather I hope!) reduce. Kind Regards, Brian posted: 6 Feb 2011 10:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, I think for EM and 00-SF with overscale 1mm flangeways you have to accept that the points opening will be overscale too. Ideally for smooth running through the switch the open clearance should not be anywhere less than the 1mm EM flangeway. The traditional method for EM pointwork from the olden days was to use a 3/32" drill shank as a points opening gauge, which is 2.4mm. A trick you can use to find a suitable figure is to pretend you ...

I don't know if that's true (it would certainly explain a few things), but I certainly saw this in the automotive industry. In one case it brought a luxury car maker to it's knees- a mistake was made by an automotive engineer, who didn't have a full understanding of hydraulics, that persisted for about two years until a real hydraulic engineer took about 10 mins to spot the problem.

1109. Loose heeled switches
... topic: 910 Loose heeled switches posted: 26 Jul 2009 10:57 from: David Burton There was an interesting topic on the forum last year showing pictures of a loose healed switch, with some suggestions on how to model them. topic 424 Having produced a plan for a small Great Western yard in the early 1920s using this type of switch, I now need to start building them. Fairly recently there was an article on producing loose healed switches in the modelling press. Try as I may, I have been unable to find it again. People in the various groups to which I belong can remember it, but have been unable to tell me where it was. Can anybody help please? Thanks.

On the prototype, when a crossing of say 1:8.2 was encountered, did they build it to this angle or use the nearest 'standard' of 1:8 or 1:8.5 and realign the surrounding track?

This is the simplest and quickest way to optimize the templates within the page outlines. or 2. move the templates on the grid.

... want to fit them accurately together. Odd half-millimetres can add up and throw things out of alignment. As an alternative to the "official" means of calibrating the printer, you could try printing templates with a 50mm grid and measuring the grid lines. You can then enter the calibration factors by trial and error until you get the best average grid spacings across the full sheet. Generally I recommend using an ink-jet printer rather than a laser printer to get the best accuracy. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Mar 2008 17:24 from: Brian Tulley Martin Wynne wrote: Generally I recommend using an ink-jet printer rather than a laser printer to get the best accuracy.

... topic: 358 Industrial turnouts and Templot posted: 10 Mar 2008 03:40 from: Edward I'd appreciate any pointers in helping me fit a templot template onto the ringed turnout in the attached image from an early OS map. My attempt -copied at the end of this post- has managed to align with the entry and exit tracks but has a toe-to-heel length in 4mm/ft of 290mm. I should say that the original trackplan is a series of harbour lines (5'3" gauge or 21mm in 4mm/ft) with short loose-heel inset turnounts and sharp curves but my turnout design is more akin to the graceful lines of main-line practice. I have tried a customised turnout but I still cannot get a shorter turnout that matches the geometry.
