... jacket serve you a whisky? What does Richie do though? He isn't likely to find the information with Google and I haven't seen many books giving details of the turnout specs on the intended modelling subject. He would have found lots of info on the benefits of 4-SF on Templot or RM forums. A correspondent in this months EM journal reckons we will have ready to lay P4 turnouts within 25 years.

Those chairs I'm mucking around with are equally applicable to P4, EM, 00 and 4-SF. I hope to get to the point where I can import ...

I'm using my tablet, so unable to open up and check the boxfile. Phil posted: 18 Feb 2020 01:28 from: Andrew Barrowman 1 in 50 might be OK but that could depend on a lot of factors. If you have not used 1 in 50 gradients with your stock on a previous layout you might want to run a few experiments, particularly with curved track. posted: 18 Feb 2020 08:51 from: ikcdab Andrew Barrowman wrote: 1 in 50 might be OK but that could depend on a lot of factors.

143. Swiss switch rails
... silver soldered it together having filed the web and foot away until I had the correct amount of material left allowing for the thickness of the nickel silver I was adding to it. The heating was done very carefully! The rails in this type of point have a section of the foot removed either side beyond the special section. You can see this in the pictures. This means that most of the flexing takes place in that area well away from the blades themselves. Bernard posted: 1 Mar 2020 00:46 from: Andrew Barrowman I'm trying to understand what the two-bolt "fishplates" do. Could they be to prevent the point blades flexing and potentially failing due to fatigue at those locations? posted: 1 Mar 2020 13:52 from: Alan McMillan Phil O wrote: Hi Alan, can I suggest that you solder a strip of nickel silver to the foot of your rail.

144. L Street layout
... Jun 2013 13:50 from: Fleischmann66 undefined undefined I have been teaching myself templot for the past few weeks and have designed this trackplan for my study. I am wondering if there is a way to shove multiple timbers at the same time? For example where plain track #28 meets turnout #26, I would like to select all the timbers on the plain track to align with the timber spacing of the turnout. This is my first attempt at templot and first post. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Andrew Attachment: attach_1611_2231_L_Street_layout.b ox 286 posted: 19 Jun 2013 15:54 from: Phil O Hi, To move all the timbering in plain track use Roll Rails and Sleepers CTRL and F4.

... topic: 2864 Self Guarding "K" Crossings posted: 24 Mar 2016 17:36 from: Jim Guthrie Not a UK track subject, but was there a corresponding self-guarding "K" crossing to match the self-guarding crossing(frog) on diamonds? I've had a dig around but can't come up with anything. Jim. posted: 26 Mar 2016 03:12 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Jim, I have not seen anything either, but I think they would work as well as check (guard) rails. Whether the wheel set is pulled by force applied to the back of an opposed wheel or pushed by force applied on the outside face of the wheel's tread should not make any difference.

... Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thank you and to everybody else who is chipping in with ideas. I have a Proxxon circular saw. I don't fancy cutting fibreglass PCB with it so it would have to be one of the paper based boards. Martin's idea of using 100mm wide board is good, you aren't going to need any timbers wider than that- just a shame that 3x34mm sleepers is a tad more than 100mm( the 4-SF guys should be laughing) Rob posted: 22 Mar 2018 00:41 from: Andrew Barrowman Nigel Brown wrote: polybear wrote: Gordon on RMWeb has been cutting his own copperclad to good effect, and saving a packet in the process: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/3422-eastwood-town-rpt/page-119#entry2588072 (post 2974) There's more on the subject in the same Topic- searching "Proxxon" brings up related posts.

... and would be much easier to do but how many would want it with a 2020 track layout( assuming it isn't as it was back in 1930 )? I am sure many would have planned layouts around the OPC Clark/Potts Great Western layout plan books but presumably it wouldn't be possible to use these as a source for Templot files to be held in a downloadable library. Like I say, nice idea. Just not sure the usage would justify the effort. Rob posted: 25 Jul 2020 04:55 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Martin, An interesting idea I think it might be possible to create an application that did that automatically on a "best fit" basis. Sounds like a great project for some of your local Computer Science undergrads. The profs at the CS departments are always looking for interesting challenges as are grads who are trying to get a PhD. I'm more than a bit out of touch these days but I can probably find a contact if you are interested. Cheers, Andy posted: 25 Jul 2020 09:32 ...

... Wynne Codeweavers have just announced CrossOver 20, with support for ChromeOS on Chromebook computers. Which in theory means Templot can now run on Chromebook computers. I've no idea whether it will or not -- in fact I don't even know what a Chromebook computer is? But somebody does, and if you have one there is a free trial of CrossOver available: http://www.codeweavers.com/crossover#chrome Anyone care to try it and report back? cheers, Martin. posted: 15 Oct 2020 06:21 from: Andrew Barrowman A Chromebook is sort of half-way between a tablet and a Windows PC. There are lots of apps that are really just web-based. It's more like the old-fangled idea of having a relatively dumb terminal that talks to a mainframe. That removes most of the support aggravation from the end-user, or, in my case, the end-user's husband. That's why I bought one for my wife And it seems to work. She seems to be able to make it do all ...
... object-oriented paradigm, where they are things operated on. Maybe that's my problem? But then what's the correct way of thinking? If they aren't objects, they certainly aren't functions.

157. Timbering Question
... folks kept telling me it was wrong (it wasn't of course, the timbering style depends on the site conditions). Now that Peco have introduced their 00 bullhead turnouts with equalized timbering, folks have gone quieter about it -- perhaps I should change it back? The truth is that neither is right or wrong, it needs to be set for each turnout as the situation demands. Which makes setting a switch-on default a difficult call. cheers, Martin. posted: 1 Jan 2020 23:10 from: Andrew Barrowman alan@york wrote: Here the timbers cross 1 1/2 tracks... an option for you.1953_301223_560000000.jpg Nice pic Alan! There's a pretty long gap there without much to maintain gauge. I wonder if that's OK? Also, the check rail is held in the chairs by springs rather than wedges but maybe it's OK if they are that type of spring? It also looks like there are no wedges or springs in the wing rail chairs next to the vee. Cheers, Andy posted: 1 Jan 2020 ...
... from: Tom Allen my first thoughts were to get rid of one sector table and use the space for a fiddle yard fed off the other sector table. You could easily have a headshunt for the opposite direction line to back up into the sector table. Also i echo the last comment if your keeping the two sector tables and crossover, just draw two crossing lines, and add the rest by hand.
