... spacing this method falls down, as either the outer transition length reduces to zero, or the inner transition becomes excessively long. You then need to apply slews instead, as explained before. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Apr 2009 17:48 from: Andy G I think that is how I've done it. Doing it automatically would be nice but at least I know I approached it in the right way. Cheers Andy posted: 7 Apr 2009 18:29 from: Templot User -- --- from Andrew Jukes -- --- Andy If all else fails, you could use Scalefour Digest 21.1, page 17. Basically, you make s (the transition curve offset) for the inner track greater than the offset for the outer track by the increased track spacing you require. That also has the effect of increasing the length of the transition for the inner track.

122. A junction
... topic: 3414 A junction posted: 14 Apr 2019 05:06 from: Andrew Barrowman A little progress (but not very much). It's really just a double track circle with a terminus in the middle and a reversing loop option. I hope aligned the rails around the junction properly. Attachment: attach_2821_3414_RBshop4.box 191 posted: 11 May 2019 01:16 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for posting that Andy. Any updates? Is that the only H00-DN layout in captivity? At 32ft x 6ft you have plenty of length, but very tight on width for the end curves. Where will the operating space be for the terminus? Inside the loops or outside with the main lines between the controls and the station? I notice you have a fixed diamond at 1:9.5 which could cause some mis-tracking. At that angle most folks would go for a switch diamond. Are you planning to have the junction pointwork 3-D printed? cheers, Martin. posted: 19 May 2019 18:17 from: Andrew Barrowman Martin ...

I happened across "CrossOver" on this forum two days ago, so I downloaded the free trial and was about to contact you for an unlocking key only to discover Templot2 is now free! So I downloaded that and 25 minutes later I was up and running. Not only does it run fine, without Bootcamp, Parallels, Ubuntu or Linux; but ...

I bought some a few weeks ago (250ml) for £4 -70, which is a fraction of the price you'd normally pay for the same stuff from a model shop.

I've been playing with Templot a lot recently and I'm feeling a lot more confident. Whilst I agree it's good to learn from mistakes I was hoping someone could suggest a good route to build up my track plan. Where should I start, the simple crossover and work from there? Thank you in anticipation. Alex posted: 12 Sep 2008 14:16 from: Andrew Campbell You might find "Brunel's Bristol Temple Meads" by John Binding (OPC/Ian Allen- ISBN 0-86093-563-9) interesting and possibly useful. It's still in print. Best wishes for the project.

... discard the Marcway templates and build them on Templot templates instead. That way you can have proper curved turnouts for example. If ready-made, if you can scan one and post it here I will see if it's possible to create a reasonable match in Templot for it -- I did one for the SMP 00 plastic turnout a few days ago. But I can't possibly do the entire Marcway range, I don't have the time, sorry. cheers, Martin. posted: 5 Feb 2020 01:20 from: Andrew Barrowman Marcway list "Layout Planner Photoplans of O Gauge Range" on their website.

... 07:51 from: Fleischmann66 I have just come back from a visit to the UK and was intrigued by the possibility of adding a third rail to my layout, so thanks for this post; it is very useful. Whilst not a templot question, can anyone advise the best way to raise the third rail up to the required height? I suppose in HO/OO one could use code 100 rather than code 83 rail but I am wondering if this is the usual practice or whether spacers are normally used? regards Andrew posted: 3 Aug 2013 08:17 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, A range of 4mm conductor-rail supports/insulators and fittings is available from C&L: http://www.finescale.org.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=346_347_360 A very detailed page of notes and pictures of electrified track has been prepared by Russ Elliott at: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/russelliott/3rd-4th.html regards, Martin.

131. Barry slips at Barry
... by Silver Link Publishing Ltd in 1996 (ISBN 1857940873). It is credited to Associated British Ports and the caption reads "Coal for shipment circa 1930 shown here at the Tredegar Park Sidings, one of the Alexandra Docks numerous yards. The wagons bearing the initials 'EV' are from Ebbw Vale collieries, while those marked JL are from John Lancaster Company, which had collieries at Blaina, Cwmtillery and Griffin." I suspect that the PT wagons may have been from the Powell's Tillery Steam Coal Co. Ltd. Regards, Andrew Nummelin posted: 1 Dec 2014 19:04 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Andrew. It's the usual case that only by posting something wrong do you get the right information.

(If you can't play the FBR videos, it is also available online here: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=ib65pLfUkgNxFBDqAZSNyA2 That's an MP4 online video, so the text is a bit fuzzy. It is much clearer in the FBR version.) Looking at your screenshot, I think you would do better to replace that transition curve with a fixed-radius curve.
