102. Irregular slips
... bigger but then there wouldn't be a the same curvature through the ladder and turnout. I would also be interested to know how close the V should be to a whole number or half of one e.g. 1:6, 1:6.5, 1:7 and so on.Thanks for any advice posted: 23 Dec 2020 12:45 from: Martin Wynne Hi Graham, Those crossing angles are too short for an inside slip, other than perhaps in industrial sidings. At those angles it would be more usual to have an outside slip or a half-scissors. Please if possible post your .box file with questions, otherwise I have to guess what it is exactly that you are trying to do. I think you are making a single line branch junction curving away from the outside of curved double track. In such locations a half-scissors is the most likely, rather than a slip. Something like this perhaps: 2_230728_020000000.png Or maybe something more spacious and easier to build: 2_230743_340000000.png If you post your .box file I can be more specific in ...
103. Is my Slip workable?
... your expert opinion EDIT: just noticed the slip rails have disappeared, not sure why, but I'll have a go at putting them back! cheers Ian Attachment: attach_1223_1673_4gig2_slip.box 303 Last edited on 1 Nov 2011 11:10 by RedgateModels posted: 1 Nov 2011 16:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ian, 1:4 is too short for an inside slip. The radius would be too tight and constructing the K-crossings would be extremely difficult. The usual way to deal with such a situation is to use an outside slip instead, like this: 46_060821_570000000.jpg Your plan includes some A-4 turnouts. An A switch is really too long for a 1:4 V-crossing. You would get an easier radius, and have shorter turnouts to save some space, by changing to a 9ft straight switch instead. That's at template> switch options... menu item. Your file contains 106 templates of which 91 are unused.

... your loop is set on a fairly tight radius you may want to increase this slightly further. Before making a simple crossover change the centre-to-centre spacing of your track: geometry> adjacent track centre> In the data-entry form, increase the adjacent track centres TS field by 8mm (44.67mm to 52.67mm). Regards Scott posted: 18 Jan 2009 09:03 from: Phil O Hi Alberta I have just had a quick look at your track plan and the biggest thing I have spotted is that the outside half of your entry crossover has a radius of 23.7 ins which is a bit tight. in full size this is under 2 1/2 chains in EM you won't get much more than 0-4 -0s and 4 wheel wagons round this.

... I have realised that finding labels the K-crossings is going to be much more difficult unless we choose to treat separately those cases where both track centrelines are curved but their radii are struck from centres located on opposite sides of the long axis of the diamond. For the cases where either or both tracks have curved centrelines with their radii struck from centres located on the same side of the long axis of the diamond or a track with a curved centreline crosses a straight track I suggest "inside K-crossing" or "outside K-crossing" as appropriate, "inside" or "outside" referring to the curved track. For the case where the tracks have curved centrelines struck from opposite sides of the long axis of the diamond all I can suggest is the use of "points of the compass" labels i.e "East K-crossing" and "West K-crossing" just as one sees in photographs of bridge spans loaded for transport "Bridge XXX span YY East side North end" stencilled onto a conspicuous place on each end ...
... topic: 1121 Proto 87/ US Trackage posted: 13 May 2010 22:59 from: Peter Wright Hi, Newb here. Forgive me if this has been asked before! Anyone using Templot for Proto 87 for any US Prototype? Or even finescale HO (that covers a lot of sins)? Would be interested to hear of experience/see some pics. I'm an English guy living just outside of New York in NJ- I was going to start a P4 layout but I feel I'm just too far away from sources.

107. Make Diamond Problem
... 18 May 2020 21:33 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I thought I'd have a go at recreating the slight misalignment, just to see if it was me doing something silly or if it's what might be fixed by the modification. I could recreate it! I'll attach the box file in a second, but in the screenshot the red template is the remnant of one of the original curves to act as a reference. I created a diamond at the intersection of two identical curves, then followed the video to create an outside slip. Extending the approach road of one of the turnouts, as well as the length, shows a slight misalignment at each end, compared to the reference. I hope this isn't something new for you to fix!

... seen it in any UK prototype but have seen Continental HO model versions- this one ROCO. There is a common running rail with splayed ends going right down the middle of the double slip. Is there a real prototype of this formation, or is it just a "manufacturers convenience"?

The outside-slip design allows for a shorter crossing angle at the same radius, for cramped station throats. Or an easier radius for higher speed in running lines.

... a bonus timber in timber shoving then shortening the main part of the template. You could try calling up timber shoving and getting rid of the oddball sleeper. Jim. Jim, Thanks, but as far as I'm aware I've never shoved a timber or deleted rails etc. Richard posted: 11 Apr 2010 13:01 from: Martin Wynne Richard Spratt wrote: How did it get there? And how do I get rid of it? Hi Richard, As Jim suggests, the most likely explanation for a timber so far outside the template boundary is that it has been shoved there. To remove it, start the shove timbers function -- real> shove timbers menu item. Then click on the number of this sleeper (not the sleeper itself). The sleeper will turn red. Then click the restore timber button. Hide the shove timbers dialog. Another possible reason is that you are using a custom plain track setting with some significant error in the sleeper spacings. However, I think in that case you would have noticed other anomalies and ...

... been done by overlaying ontop of the NLS map of York- thanks for that feature Martin! Mike Attachment: attach_3040_3665_York.box 78 posted: 12 May 2020 22:14 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mike, That's an irregular diamond-crossing. You can add slip roads to an irregular diamond, but it has to be done manually rather than using the automatic make tools. However, there is no way you can add inside slip roads to that one, because the angle is only around 1:4. You would need an outside slip for that, which doesn't match the photo, and certainly wouldn't need a switch-diamond. I will have a play and see if I can find something closer to the photo. cheers, Martin. posted: 12 May 2020 22:41 from: Mike Kynaston Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Mike, That's an irregular diamond-crossing.

112. The Spare Room
... . I don't have a great deal of knowledge of how the real permanent way was designed or constructed so I would be grateful if you could pass comment. The space available for the layout is in the spare room, measuring 10'x9'. To enable me to have as long a running length as possible I have designed the layout to be 'U' shaped. Starting from the bay platform situated along one wall, the track turns through 180 degrees, runs along the other wall and into the fiddle yard which will be situated outside the room in the hallway. The fiddle yard will only be erected for running sessions. The inner two lines are the up and down lines running between the station and the fiddle yard. A double span bridge will hide the entry into the fiddle yard. The two outer lines are the goods arrival/departure and a run-round loop. Two lines branch off the outer lines and return back to the fiddle yard. The outer most line returns to an imaginary West dock whilst the third outer line returns to an ...
113. Memories for Martin
... The postcode given for the PO box address is of course the old post office/delivery office in your home town before the post office moved to the CO-OP site. The architecture of the old crown post offices is quite appealing, at least the HSBC didn't spoil it too much. The model for sale today was 'around' £200. It came to a dealer in bulk lot from a chap in the Nottingham area who had moved on. A knowledgable viewer commented that you had some of the models assembled by outside contractors but maybe you can confirm this. One feature I noticed was the wheel pickups were flat PB strip that had a neat 90 degree twist in the middle which I haven't seen on a model for a long time. I guess it stiffens the strip. Each of the axles had black paint marks around the centres- maybe to mark the wheel set/axles for assembly. The model was in good company as there were several of Jim McGeown's nice kits for sale.

... being adjusted, of course) Secondly, on the turnout or diamond road, we can't always extend the check rails very far, and this seems to be inconsistent. On the box file, DS2 has been extended as far as it'll go, and the label has been lost. This does only seem to affect the turnout or diamond side, I've extended main side check rails for miles to get check-railed plain track (and blanked of the turnout itself!) The specific example where I discovered this was on an outside slip with inset rails and extending a diamond check rail towards the switch heel, but I can't quite get the flared end to reach! EDIT:- Got it! How far the turnout road check rails can be extended seems to be related to the main road length, not the turnout road length. That shouldn't be the case, should it?

... topic: 900 Chairs for Straight Heel Switches posted: 18 Jul 2009 20:21 from: Richard Spratt I'm modelling three pre-group companies in South Wales, Barry, Rhymney and the Pontypridd, Caerphilly& Newport. The first challenge has been to discover what type of track they each used. The Rhymney still had a considerable amount of flat bottom rail in use at the grouping according to Kidner, so flat bottom it will be. Photos of Barry track show flat bottom, inside and outside keyed bullhead. So I've decided to go for bull head as Penrhos was a later build. For the PC&N, I've found a couple of photos taken at Treherbert, Groswen and Pontypridd which show outside key bullhead. The next challenge has been to find out about the rail chairs used on bullhead straight heel switches. So far I've turned up a blank. Were the chairs after the heal special chairs? Or just normal chairs squeezed in? Many thanks Richard Last edited on 19 Jul 2009 14:41 by Richard Spratt Parts of Templot ...

... topic: 787 Honner Turnout Calculator posted: 12 Apr 2009 20:10 from: William Adkins I thought I would cut my teeth on Templot by designing a Sn3 curved turnout 30" outside radius/28" inner radius. I entered data in a Honner Turnout Calculator and among other values I see that the frog angle is 3.58 degrees. Have others used the Honner Calculator and what values go where in Templot? I'm sure much of my frustration is that I am at the very beginning of a learning curve and that I am unfamiliar with British terminology.

... another. And saving- and opening- files, is pronably one of the most essential things to get working. But for the past week I've been looking into something different: Martin Wynne wrote: EMF files are the basis of the sketchboard function and the PDF exports, and valuable in background picture shapes, so need a workaround somewhere. The Delphi TMetafileCanvas functions are also not supported in Lazarus, but I did eventually get the EMF stuff working in Templot3 using direct API calls. This part will get interesting: EMF support outside of Windows is unfortunately quite poor (and there's no cross-platform Pascal library that I can find). From what I can tell, Microsoft's is the only full implementation. For PDF exports, I'm hoping Graeme's work will help- and I'm looking forward to seeing it! For background picture shapes, meanwhile, the options seem to be:- LibreOffice probably has the strongest non-Microsoft EMF implementation, but that's tighly coupled to LibreOffice. At the very least, people could use LibreOffice to convert EMF to a ...
