... the follow the platform edge much too neatly for a double exposure. It's said in comments to be an SLS railtour (note h/board) at a long-disused miner's pltform at a colliery, so it's not unreasonable that track was laid over to old platform.

... plate with appropriate stock, gauge widening, etc. Quite often the limiting condition for industrials is not wheels or track, but the length and size of buffers and couplings. You can go much tighter with RTR-type centre couplings and non-functional side buffers. If you are not sure what radius limit to set, there is lots of advice available from EMGS, Gauge 0 Guild, etc., or of course by asking other modellers on RMweb or on here. regards, Martin. posted: 19 Oct 2008 02:06 from: Richard Spratt How do I change the minimum radius warning default for all templates in my project? posted: 19 Oct 2008 02:35 from: Martin Wynne Richard Spratt wrote: How do I change the minimum radius warning default for all templates in my project?

... information might help as to the reason behind my queries. The situation I have is where there are two crossovers that are parallel to each other. Perhaps it is therefore acceptable to use long timbers to support all of the rails in certain positions? The other alternative is to replace the long timbers at the heel end of the turnouts with individual timbers, and twist the timbers that are supporting the rails connecting the crossover. Michael Last edited on 20 Jul 2014 20:28 by Michael Woolford posted: 21 Jul 2014 12:02 from: Martin Wynne Hi Michael, It is certainly acceptable to have a timber running under a rail without a chair, provided the rail is adequately supported in other chairs on each side. I'm not too clear what you are asking about long timbers -- it is normal to have several long timbers at the centre of a crossover. That's why Templot leaves a gap for the opposite timbers to be extended into. How many long timbers varies with different prototype companies. It's not usual to have two separate timbers end- ...

I wanted to model in 0, but not having space for a tail-chaser (without going through into next doors loft) and definately not wanting yet another MPD I came up with this. There's no way I'd ever have been able to contemplate anything like this without Templot- cheers Martin. The "rationale" (if that's the word!) is at http://home.btconnect.com/soddingham Critiques welcome (I bet Martin spots the major deliberate mistake first), as are drawings of 1980's vintage colour light signals. I know the shoving of timbers isn't finished yet, and the points are a mish-mash, but that will be sorted out. Soon. Honest.

... topic: 3552 Stuff not supported in Templot3 posted: 18 Nov 2019 02:02 from: Martin Wynne I said that I would not be happy to let T3 replace T2 until there is full functional equivalence. That's going to be easier said than done. Some things are far more trouble to implement than they are really worth, and will probably have to be let go. So this topic will be a record of such omissions. One such is the ability to save images in GIF format in the file exports and also from picture shapes. T2 supports both reading and writing of GIF files. But in Lazarus only reading of GIFs is supported. I suspect that relates to the old GIF patent restrictions. The GIF patents finally expired worldwide in 2004, so it just needs someone keen in the Lazarus project to get back on to it. They have had 15 years to think about it. But it won't be me, because T3 is quite enough to be getting on with as it stands. More about the TGIFImage component from its original ...

Some of the photos I have of Whitby shed show some very tight turnouts A's. BTW my understanding of all this has greatly improved since you helped me with the tandem design- so again, my thanks for your help- like all people here I suspect, it is a steep learning curve but well worth it. Last edited on 31 Oct 2014 03:02 by DerekStuart posted: 4 Nov 2014 18:21 from: Tony W Hi Derek. I have now had a chance to scan the table I referred to earlier. It comes from a small book called British Rail Handbook by B.K.Cooper published in 1981 and refers to the then modern Flat bottomed point work being installed by BR. Note that the limits for a crossover are often lower than for a single turnout due to the reverse curve. I would expect that Bullhead P&C speed limits would be lower than these figures ...

... you may get some answers Using the shove timbers option is quite easy and will tidy up the plan. As for the slips go to Real -Timbering- Half diamond- slip, this is an automatic function (rails are not) for the timbers. 3 way is a manual operation but do it on the plan. The tutorials are quite easy to follow for both which include the adjustments for rails I would say tidy up the plan as much as you can first on the program posted: 14 Jun 2014 09:02 from: Phil O Some timbering can only go in one place to support the special chairs used in the crossing which need to be supported. Switches tend to be fairly standardised in their timbering as well. You will need to refer to the track standrards used by your prefered prototype for the info. Having just looked at the OP it looks as though you might have three standards BR for the mainlines and GW and LMS /LNWR for sidings etc. depending on who was responsible for what.

... is to maintain full compatibility with Windows 95, 98 and ME. Dialogs and property sheets demand far more system resources (and programming effort). The only way round that would be to re-use resources, which risks introducing the traditional flakiness for which Windows is famous. However, times move on. The next versions of Templot will still run on Windows 95, 98, and ME, but it may be necessary to close all other programs while you do it. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Mar 2008 02:47 from: Simon Dunkley Ta- was aware of the pdf function (from RMWeb), and am looking forward to it.

Whilst the pdf will be massively useful, I would still like to be able to do this, and I think I am not alone here. Simon (aka Pigs) Last edited on ...

Shame the max custom paper length I can set is not longer. Hi Rob, Cutting manually with a fine hacksaw blade does work, and the result isn't as ragged as you might think if the roll is wound tight.

A "Delete to the control" (not 'current', any more!) shortcut would be quite nice though. I'm also getting the impression there's some confusion over the different functions of Wipe, Copy and Delete. 'Wipe to control/current' leaves a copy of the background template in your storage box whilst removing it from the background. ...
... these changes for you. Try using the F5 mouse action to adjust the crossing angle and watch the check rails change length. Note that for most standard-gauge FB track the flare angle on the wing and check rail ends is machined rather than bent. This makes a noticeable difference to the appearance of a turnout. You can make this change in Templot at "real> rails> flared ends bent" or "real> rails> flared ends machined" menu options. regards, Martin. posted: 30 May 2007 02:30 from: Keith Norgrove Martin said," The length of check rails depends on the V-crossing angle. For most UK flat-bottom track, check rail lengths are: angles up to 1:10 --- 13ft check rails spanning 5 timbers angles over 1:10 up to 1:12 --- 15ft-6in check rails spanning 6 timbers angles over 1:12 --- 18ft check rails spanning 7 timbers" This, however, is far from the whole story!

Bearing in mind this design is about 40 years old, the V-crossing area is quite acceptable and almost exactly 1:5. About the switch area however, the least said the better. The deflection angle is ludicrously sharp. The best match I can get to the lead length and footprint is to use one of Templot's short model switches (1 :24), with a regular 1:5 V-crossing, and a slight tweak ...
