... topic: 194 US templates for Templot posted: 10 Oct 2007 23:39 from: Simon Dunkley Has anyone created a box file for US practice turnouts? Proto:87, :48, :64 or whatever will do- not Peco- just exact scale. If so, I'd be pleased to have a copy- would save reinventing the wheel!

Hi Simon, Sure, see: http://db.templot.info/index.php?action=view&view=entry&entryid=5 There are in standard H0, but because the gauge:scale ratio is unchanged they should convert to Proto87 easily. (Group them, then convert group button on the gauge list dialog). The #5 US turnout is used in the "working with substitution radius" video at: ...
... entering the fiddle yard leads to an imaginery off scene goods yard and loco shed. The outer most line leads to an imaginery off scene harbour. There have been some slight changes made to the original design, timbers have been shoved and check rails adjusted. Working from what few pictures I have, and with a bit of artistic licence, I have tried to create N.B. interlaced sleepers. I would be grateful for any comments- good or bad.

To give maximum running in a small room, the station area is spread around the room in a 'u' shape with the fiddle yard situated ...

... If you are not sure it is only a click to reload the file and see. I've included a truncated info panel in the screenshots so that the gauge/scale is visible. The screenshots are created using the current colours and generator settings on the trackpad, so you can change them to whatever you prefer before using the file viewer. This is the "bright night" colour scheme with the skeleton settings in the generator: 2_251704_380000000.png In the next program update. regards, Martin. posted: 26 Feb 2014 07:02 from: PeterD Thanks Martin.

... topic: 2695 Mirror on peg- copies etc posted: 24 May 2015 00:18 from: dave turner Is it possible to mirror/copy timbering data if required? It would reduce the required work when shoving timbers on a straight or curved scissors. posted: 24 May 2015 00:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Yes, to retain any shoved timbers when using the tools functions, select these options: 2_231939_200000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 24 May 2015 02:02 from: John Palmer I make extensive use of library templates. The focus of my attention is North British track for a design involving a minimum of 5 chains curvature on the pointwork. Since these have to be fitted to a series of reverse curves, some fairly long leads are required, hence I have rather standardised on 1:10 crossings and 12' straight heel switches, save for the points with contraflexure, for which I combine the standard 12' switch with a 1:7 crossing. This degree of standardisation makes it possible to concentrate on ...

Best regards Tony Hagon Caithness, Scotland posted: 19 Jun 2013 16:01 from: Phil O Hi Tony As far as I am aware the 3rd rail is supported on standard timber ends, about every sixth one if memory serves me right, there might be a difference on S& C and at 3rd rail end ramps. Southern and Underground modellers will have more details.

Would you suggest I try manipulating a turnout to fit and go from there or start with some plain track sections and insert turnouts into that?

Before you can attempt that plan, you really, really need to have a good basic understanding of Templot.

Get all the sweeping curves in the right place, check all the radii are ...
... the same, I think I shall have to get an accurate protractor and measure them some time, or spend a lot of time doing the maths. I am sure of one thing though, when the full diamond is constructed, all the rails of the two roads, follow the guide curves exactly all the way through and are a perfect match.

Only if the K-crossing angles span the limit will you get a mixed diamond. They probably don't. Why not join the development group and try it again in TDV? Apart from solving the angle question you will see how much easier ...

154. P4 test track
... of a track, it depends on whether I'll have room in the future. You wouldn't see it on the plan, but do you want to include and obstacle course (e.g. steps, twists, gauge narrowing, etc.) on one siding to see how well stock copes with substandard track? Not sure about this for the reason above. And well done on getting the blocked timbers on the crossovers – that's a trick I haven't managed yet. Thanks for that. Regards Len posted: 22 May 2009 09:02 from: newport_rod Andy Blocked timbers – what at I was referring to (perhaps incorrectly) was the extension (e.g.) of the timbers from 39 Up Tebay mainline crossover under the first 100mm of 42 Down Tebay Main. I'm developing a plan for out own test track (I'll try and attach the box file) and hadn't addressed including that feature yet (nor have I done any timber shoving yet). As an aside the (separate) layout that this is being developed for is based on BR(WR ...
... LSWRArt Hi Stephen, Do you use the high nickel content NS for the points, common crossings and blades you supply, as most Templot contributors think this is better than 'standard' NS? What is your feeling about minimum radius for 0-MF? I would much prefer to use this finer standard, as aeons ago I built both 00 gauge and S4 points and found the S4 so much easier to build for reliable operation, because there was less room for error. I shall be running a LSW Terrier, radial, 02, but due to the very limited space in the spare bedroom I will be down to 1200mm radius on the main line/ main line points and 1100mm in the yard/ yard points and was worried whether this is too small for 0-MF, as the Templot alarm for 0-MS is set at 1750mm by default. I am a member of the South Western Circle, but if you have some links to other info for this company I would be grateful for these. Like Howard I have used Relco in ...

... . It appears that there was a tandem turn out (ie three way) at the end of the loop- the left hand road served one platform, the right hand one the other platform and the centre road led to the yard on the left of the left hand platform, so it crossed over the left hand road (all rather difficult to describe). Does anyone know of another photograph showing this curious arrangement, please? Presumably its purpose was to minimize the number of facing points. posted: 26 Sep 2008 02:30 from: Martin Wynne John Lewis wrote: Does anyone know of another photograph showing this curious arrangement, please? Presumably its purpose was to minimize the number of facing points. Hi John, I don't have another picture of that, but it was very common for a yard connection to cross to the opposite side of a loop to ensure a trailing connection into the passenger lines.

Here are a couple of bugs, and a possible new function: 2_222059_030000000.png Clicking the info button on the storage box shows the data panel for the currently selected template. 1. minor cosmetic bug: The wording on the button is "info". The caption on the panel is "data". They ought to match -- I prefer "info". 2. functional bug: After clicking the info button the data panel appears, and updates as different templates are selected on the storage box. The panel is a child window on the trackpad, and remains showing if the storage box is closed. That's fine, but if the storage box is opened again, the data no longer updates for different selected templates, until the info button is clicked again. If it's visible it ought to update whenever the storage box is ...
... alterations is the removal of one set of switches within the original arrangement as not all moves through the double slip are of equal importance. If all movements from the bottom left had to go towards the bottom right, all moves from top right had to head top left and moves from the top left could still go top right or bottom right...would this allow the outline track plan of the original formation to be retained.
