101. MERG CBUS system
... . I am not( as yet) interested in interlocking, occupancy detection or feedback to a computer so would just require a kit( or PCB and component list) to enable servos to be actuated via a DCC system. I think I should join MERG now rather than waiting, it isn't expensive, and at least I can get access to the tech info and figures out what each module is capable of. I can then start to join the queues at Maplin for some bits Rob posted: 24 Oct 2017 23:02 from: Charles Orr Rob, You will find that Rapid Electronics, Farnell or RS Components will be much cheaper than Maplin.

I noticed your topic on RMweb. One point, I see you have set the turnouts to square-on timbering but left the timber ends centralized. Usually for modern square-on timbering the ends are in line -- real> timbering> timber ends in-line menu option. For older track you need photographic evidence to be sure. I think perhaps I should make this an automatic change when changing to square-on ...

Hi Rob, Many thanks for your comments. I agree. The difficulty is that it takes such great swathes of my time to create the docs and videos.

But it should have been trapped without causing Templot to crash, and I need to look deeper and see how that was able to happen. But that might take a day or two. Yes, that was the worst bug in 19 years of Templot. It has shaken me up to discover I released a version of Templot with such a bug in it ...

113. Scissors Crossover
... topic: 2428 Scissors Crossover posted: 23 Mar 2014 08:02 from: PeterD Hi all, I have put together templates to create a scissors crossing and have come across some potential issues. 1. I have modified the check rails but cannot work out how I can create the internal common crossing within the diamond. Can anyone help with this please? 2. What is the best way to isolate and connect the diamond crossing? 3. Is continuous checking through the formation correct? Thank you. Box file attached.

Would you take a minute or two to briefly explain the background to the EM-SF and EM4 options in the Templot gauge list. There was some correspondence in Model Railway Journal recently ago but the few recent MRJ's I have aren't the right ones for me to refer to.

... topic: 2645 00-SF Gauges for FB track posted: 9 Mar 2015 02:15 from: Rob Manchester HI, Is there a source of 00-SF track gauges for people using flat bottom rail such as the code 82 from C&L? The normal 00-SF gauges now sold by C&L are fine for code 75 bullhead rail but are rather slack on the finer head of the flatbottom rail. Surely there must be some people building FB trackwork in 00-SF? Regards Rob Last edited on 9 Mar 2015 02:15 by Rob Manchester posted: 9 Mar 2015 03:28 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, Prototypically both code 75 bullhead and code 82 flat-bottom rail should have the same head width -- 2.3/4" scale (0.92mm). It's a bit odd if they are not. You may find FB rail from a different supplier is more accurate. DCC Concepts in Australia have what they describe as 00-SF gauges for flat-bottom rail, see: http: ...

... topic: 2188 Prototype Terminology on the VR posted: 3 Apr 2013 02:33 from: Laidlaym All, I have been studying old prototype documents for the Victorian Railways, my prototype. Some interesting terminology is: Compound and double compound are used to describe what are more widely known as single and double slips; Check rail is used to describe what is more widely known as a guard rail to guide wheels flanges away from hitting the nose of a V crossing in a turnout; Delta- Deltas were a specific unit, they were available in different rail weights and crossing numbers (7.52, 8.7 etc) just like the other crossings. Two were used in a double crossover when the track centres were 11'8", if the spacing was a little greater then only one was used (the other side had 2 Vs and a K) and if the tracks were widely spaced then no deltas were used. Are these terms used elsewhere in the world? Mark posted: 3 Apr 2013 21:10 from: Phil O Hi Mark The Great ...

... -line)" for each of the turnouts. This is the required radius on each side of the middle crossing. For best results we use the largest radius side as the main road of the middle crossing. In this case the 1st turnout has 1426mm radius and the 2nd turnout has 7402mm radius. So we choose the 2nd turnout as the main road of the middle crossing -- which will therefore need to be left-hand, with a negative main road radius of -7402mm. 3. 01:30- 02:30 So make the 2nd turnout current and slide the peg along the turnout-road crossing rail until it is somewhere near the middle crossing.
