... of turnouts to permit routing from one rectangle to another. The general scenario was to have one rectangle with third rail and the other with OHLE. This would provide the ability to change traction on through running trains. In all honesty, I like operational running as much as the construction side of the hobby. I will have the layout running scheduled traffic under computer control (RR&Co) with the operators fitting in manually controlled trains. This means that the operators must obey the signals! Unfortunately, feedback from Martin and Andrew Jukes made me realise that I didn't have room for the ladder crossovers. Thanks for the information regarding David Jenkinson's book. I would be most grateful for the scans as my local, French, library is unlikely to have the book!

Ideally one would turn a groove to suit the rail profile, but if one can do that it would be better to build a unit from scratch completely. posted: 16 Dec 2019 22:41 from: Andrew Barrowman a_nummelin wrote: I've never used it for rail but bullhead looks easy: could flat bottom be done by just having the rail foot in a groove?

... . I always end up with the crossover on a transition curve, and then Templot throws up warnings. The video on making the slip part seems fairly easy to follow, but I need to get past the crossover bit to get there. I'd be grateful for any advice!

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 ...
... several times per day and I've had no problem with Templot open when I wake it up again. I got a new laptop at the end of last year and it came with Win 10 installed and I run Templot on it regularly and it recovers from sleep and hibernate with Templot open and I have had no problems. I've got both on automatic update so I am assuming that they have both been running on the latest available Win 10 release at all times.

... the middle vee in the usual way. I intentionally wrote that way to deter beginners from trying 3-way tandem turnouts until they are well-versed in Templot. Tandem turnouts are not simple -- it really would be better to leave them until later. At the very least please try a single slip first. If you watch the first few minutes of the transition-diamond video you will see how to put the fixing peg on a rail intersection. The video is at help> watch a video> Scruff Video Andrew transition diamond menu item.

... be straight beyond the turnout, that can be done by creating an irregular diamond-crossing. Use tools> make branch track on the turnout, and then change it to straight. You can then do peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection, and add the slip roads in the usual way. If the outer curve is within a transition zone at that location, it gets a bit more involved, but there is a video showing how to proceed, click help> watch a video> Scruff Video Andrew transition diamond. If you want a shorter diamond, change the turnout to a curviform pattern V-crossing before you start. Depending on your ruling radius, that may be preferable anyway. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Aug 2016 09:18 from: mightbe Hi Martin, I suppose I want the road running across the diamond to be straight. I take it that the 'make branch' function takes its radius cue (on regular crossings) from the radius of the diverging route at the V. If the ...
... 11:43 from: keithj15 I am bursting to try out your suggestions — but senior management have just arrived with a massive list of Easter Sunday Lunch demands, so if I want that On30 Climax next month I am forced to comply. The sacrifices we make for others... but we love them I have been granted remission for tomorrow, so that's good :-) posted: 6 Apr 2015 10:33 from: Martin Wynne Hi Keith, The article in MRJ No.0 (the special preview issue) by Andrew Wiles shows the GWR broad gauge spacing as 6ft-6in to the gauge faces of the rail. (This dimension was still being used by BR(W) into modern times. This means that with the rail width at 2.3/4in the 6ft way between the rails on GWR lines is actually 6ft-0.1/2in, and the track centres 11ft-2.1/2in.) So for broad gauge the track centres are 13ft-6.1/4in= 94.646mm at 7mm/ft. regards, Martin. posted ...

... printed pages to a roll of decorator's lining paper: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/77373-exchange-sidings-working-title/#entry1358283 This is much easier than sticking them to each other at the joins, and means you have nice straight edges to roll the whole thing up and re-use as required. It's also much easier to make changes and replace individual pages. Many thanks to AndrewF on RMweb. Martin. posted: 24 Feb 2014 20:22 from: Andrew Fendick Glad you like it Martin. I needed a way to show all the club members the layout as it would be full size, but as it was still being designed and in a state of flux, it wasn't worth the expense of getting a banner print done professionally. Doing it this way we could and did make changes to one part of the design by simply replacing a couple of the sheets.

... : 5 Feb 2014 11:05 from: Clive Essery Hello guys, this is my first post on this forum. I decided to try and produce my plan on my own without bothering you guys with stupid beginners questions but have now hit an impasse. My background is that I am retired after 40 years of software development, which of course includes some CAD work. I thought I would eventually manage to produce something. Well I have succeeded in that area but I see that I am going to get a rollicking like Andrew- having built my track plan on an existing (but modified) map without practicing all of the features first. I guess I used only the basics of Templot and because I landed up doing a lot of rework, I have probably not done it the most efficient way. I couldn't for example get the move group to work properly so landed up moving my goods yard a template at a time many times as I moved it around the design. The issue that I have at the moment though is that I have ...
