121. 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!

... 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?

... 7 slide type chairs on a flexible switch rail, but I would look to support the stock rail as soon as possible. The center timber is a 16" timber made from 2 sleepers joined side by side and I would make double slide chairs by splicing standard ones together side by side The next timber to the center one I would use a standard slide chair The following slide chairs I would try and make a special slide chairs by using a standard slide chair suitably trimmed on the inside and a slide chair slide plate (outside part cut off) trimmed if necessary. I think this would be needed for the next 3 positions The next 2 timbers I would try and use standard slide chairs on the switch rails and standard chairs on the stock rails Whilst not fully prototypical I think it would give me the correct balance between following prototypical practice verses packability in model form posted: 9 Aug 2020 09:20 from: ikcdab Hayfield wrote: Somehow in trying to answer this thread I contributed to another on a different forum Ikcdab There is here a case ...
... are you using at the end of your checkrails? Mike, You've just reminded me that I haven't decided what radius to use. In the first turnouts I have made in 1:32 scale, I tried making them a tighter radius than the standard Templot ones but I'm not sure that I've made the radius tight enough. It's also a bit difficult to put a tightish radius on Code 180 bullhead and I suspect that I might need to make some king of press tool to do it in a vice. I've just popped outside to remind myself of what I have done- I store the track on the baseboards outside- plenty of room out there and that's where they are going to finish up in any case. I've basically used a shorter version of the Templot default straight bend but with a larger angle to give the same distance between the rail and the check rail flare end. I've gone back to the drawings on the oldpway site and one of them gives a largish drawing of a crossing nose and wing rails with some dimensions so it should ...
... topic: 3770 Movable K-crossings/ switch-diamond for a 1:10 double slip? posted: 15 Sep 2020 15:31 from: William Williamson When putting together a layout I've found a need for a 1:10 double slip. Thinking to myself, this'll be great- I ploughed forward. It was only when I printed the template out however, I noticed it didn't have any k-crossing wing rails. I rebuilt the slip outside of the layout and the same issue occured. Switching the size down to a 1:6 made them reappear: http://i.imgur.com/Vaiwxg7.png It looks like this is because Templot switches from fixed to movable K-crossings above 1:8- which i guess is fine, but I've no idea how that might work. I can see I can set them to be fixed here: topic 2408- but how are they intended to work? Another set of tie bars? Is there a material concern with the lack of a switched diamond in a 1:10 double ...
... passion for A4's and the like. Standing at Wood Green and seeing an A4 plus 12 coaches thundering through is something you never forget. The need to model similar trains that will leave a terminus and travel some distance before disappearing is a goal I have tried to achieve. An earlier version of this layout got much further and it took a full 20 minutes for a train to leave the upper level, travel down through the lower levels and reappear. Unfortunately, I had to relay the levels and move the spiral to the outside of the layout as the storage yards became difficult to access and the gradients at 1:50 proved to be a problem. I have now cured that problem by dropping the lower level further and moving the spiral to the outside and incorporating an additional loop round. An A4 will now cope with 10 coaches up the 1:100 grade without problem so I know that is OK. Picking up your points in turn.. 1. I can move the carriage sidings around to the other side but width may be a ...

Or even finescale HO (that covers a lot of sins)? Would be interested to hear of experience/see some pics.

129. A junction
... . 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 Wynne wrote: Thanks for posting that Andy. Any updates?

... the S1-J chairs on the first timber beyond the switch tips, which is not per drawing. The one on the right-hand side of the picture is broken on the inside and has a loose chair screw. Tsk! Tsk! Looks like the lengthman has been a bit remiss here. I can't see anything wrong on the first timber beyond the switch tips, but the timber immediately adjacent to the joint is apparently the one with a broken-off section of the right hand chair, and neither of the outside chair screws screwed full home. Perhaps that was the cause of the chair's fracture. And this on what seems to be a running line, judging by the track circuit bonding across the joint. posted: 25 Sep 2019 09:46 from: Martin Wynne John Palmer wrote: Martin Wynne wrote: Notice the S1-J chairs on the first timber beyond the switch tips, which is not per drawing.

... be a bit bumpy over the crossings, unless constructed with sharp-nose vees. Martin, Do P4 wheel makers actually have different tyre widths for loco and rolling stock wheels? I know that in S scale we only produce a wagon wheel profile from official drawings and that does for everything. Not all loco wheels were 6" wide. I have a drawing of a Drummond Caledonian 0-4 -0 pug where the wheels are 4 3/4" wide. I reckon this was to squeeze the motion behind the outside cylinder slidebars. I've also got drawings of six-coupled and longer wheelbases where the profiles of the central drivers are quite different to normal.

... options should be looked at. One is to use SMP for the track; SMP does EM. The 2mm Scale Association and the 3mm Society have both commisioned their own ranges of chaired track (I believe from the same supplier). Includes standard chairs, slide chairs and check rail chairs; for the rest you butcher standard chairs. Only one style of standard chair (LMS I think). A pragmatic solution. Maybe the EM gauge people should go the same way, or at least think about it in case the outside solutions go pear-shaped. posted: 7 Sep 2018 09:05 from: Hayfield Stephen Freeman wrote: They are not on the list of Traders Hayfield wrote: C&L will be there, but obviously not selling Exactoscale products Stephen Sorry thought you were talking about Scaleforum posted: 7 Sep 2018 09:10 from: Hayfield Nigel Brown wrote: Maybe other options should be looked at.

I'm using Adobe 10.1.1 so will try the other reader programme. Edit: Downloaded the new reader and all is fine as far as I can see. How do I 'trim' the file to just show the 13'-16' section?

... the Scissors option, there might be issues of how to adequately check the vees for the two "inner" points, as they lie almost opposite the vees for the centre diamond especially given how fine they are. Either option would need switched Ks I suppose. Pity it is in the fiddle yard- we will all be wanting to watch you backing your train of a dozen 100t hoppers over itD Good Luck!

... 2018 18:59 from: Martin Wynne Charles Warr wrote: Unfortunately using the single slip crossover did not give a slip to the siding so I used the double slip command and wiped the slip road and switches not needed. Is this legitimate? Hi Charles, Anything is legitimate on your own railway. However, that will have left unwanted extended timbers on one side, and depending on the crossing angle the check rails may have been shortened unnecessarily. Sorry I didn't read your first message properly. A slip road on the outside of a ladder is not so common on the prototype because it generally means a facing switch in the running line. But maybe I need to add that option anyway. To get what you wanted, do this: 1. start with the turnout. 2. click tools> make ordinary crossover menu item. 3. click template> convert turnout to half-diamond menu item. 4. click tools> make slip> make single slip- opposite hand menu item. This works for a straight or curved tracks. ...

137. Information Panel
... topic: 3378 Information Panel posted: 26 Jan 2019 17:40 from: Ian Bunch Running 2.19b on a Mac under Wine. Sometimes I use Templot over two monitors. Since installing on my new iMac Templot always puts the information panel outside of the main window so i'm unable to grab the header bar to move it. As you can see from the attached screenshot I can only get to click and drag/resize, not move it. I only really use it for min curve warnings and turnout size and there are other ways of getting this info. I just would like to have my little window top left, where I've always put it.

138. Crossover timbering
... topic: 3235 Crossover timbering posted: 10 Mar 2018 14:09 from: DerekStuart Afternoon all, Much has been written across the internet about timbering crossovers, but I cannot find the answer to this. So apologies if I've missed it. Is it ever permissible to shorten a timber outside the running rail? It can't even be one super-long timber as they don't line up anyway. One person has suggested this is possible and that the two timbers that had been cut like this would be secured together in the same way as when making one long timber out of two smaller ones. But I am not 100% certain he's right. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks posted: 10 Mar 2018 14:45 from: Martin Wynne Hi Derek, Which rail? How close to the chair do you want to cut it? If you mean cutting a timber very close to a chair, this would be frowned on in a running line rail. For a rail which is part of the crossover road, rather than the running line ...
... topic: 3675 Grouping by tag picking up other templates posted: 21 May 2020 19:43 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I've just spotted what would seem to be a bug! In my ongoing outside slip saga, I've added a prefix tag to each template of 'Slip', which shows on the trackpad as [Slip]-CR037 or whatever. When I use the group all templates with matching tag(s) functions it also picks up a couple of other templates where the name happens to start with the word Slip, but it isn't a tag- no square brackets. That wasn't the behaviour I was expecting- I just wanted those tagged templates to be grouped. The screenshot shows what I mean. I could rename the two inadvertently grouped templates but I'd be worried generally about accidentally grouping a template off-screen and moving it around with the group. You'll probably tell me it's meant to do that! Cheers, Paul 105_211440_520000000.png posted: 21 May 2020 22:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, It's definitely not meant ...

If that doesn't work on your system, it is also available (in poorer image quality) at: http://flashbackconnect.com/Movie.aspx?id=ib65pLfUkgNxFBDqAZSNyA2 When you have the diamond-crossing, adding slip roads is the same as for regular diamonds. However, looking at your plan, the crossing angle is very short and you may find that the radius for an inside slip is too tight. The solution then would be to go for an outside slip instead. Unfortunately there isn't a video for that, although you can work it out from partial templates in the usual way. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Apr 2016 22:25 from: Jubilee42 Thanks for your (as ever) helpful advice!
