... " (cough) layout and the background file- it may be of interest for those considering 0-FS to compare the diamonds now with the originals (they havn't moved since the original plan). There is one oustanding question though- the slip road on the single slip hits the check rails- what would be the soultion here? Shorter check rails, or maybe make the "junction" into a traingle? Any suggestions welcome.

... I'll try and relocate it. How did you create that so quickly? It's taken me ages. I can't play at the moment -- hope to get back to it tomorrow. Many thanks Geoff posted: 27 Mar 2019 11:28 from: Geoff Lines Hello Martin -- the box file is attached, I hope. There are probably a number of misalignments to be dealt with -- my method of aligning by tangents may not be precise enough.

I'll try again tomorrow and see if I get anything I'm happy with. Adrian [ps.

Just checked the message is this:"CrossOver-2" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

I then opened Templot which wanted to update to v2.25.d. Templot still runs fine on OS Catalina v10.15.3. Whilst my success doesn't help you specifically, it does at least show that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with either Templot or Crossover. It sounds as if your Malware software is being too aggressive and stopping Crossover so would point to that rather than a Crossover problem ...
165. Bending jig designs
... Jam jar came out right for a 1:8 bend. However, if the turnout is curved then getting this bend in accurately becomes harder. Yes it can be manually checked against a Templot printout, but I find adjustments tend to end up leaving lots of irregular bends rather than one clear and gentle curve. I have a week off next week. I shall think up some ideas and try them- I've nothing to lose but my fingers and thumbs- oh, and pride. Thanks Derek posted: 22 Oct 2020 07:53 from: Hayfield Don't forget the method of using the Vee filing jigs to form the bend,form the benb by eye slightly narrower, place the rail in the jig and tap with a hammer. Perhaps something similar could be formed? posted: 22 Oct 2020 09:58 from: DerekStuart Hello John I was thinking of a way whereby anyone- whether really experienced or a complete beginner- could be guaranteed to get the same results.

... May 2019 12:42 from: Godfrey Earnshaw I am about to build a 1:8 turnout and single slip crossover on a curve. The main roads will be about 4000 mm radius. The pair will have regular v-crossings. Normally I would start the build by placing the crossings and building out from there. I am a little unsure how to align the v-crossing, because it is on a curve. Would someone care to push me in the right direction? posted: 13 May 2019 16:07 from: Phil O Hi Godfrey, I have edited this post, see the one below.

... the line(s) and the grid are having a fight for display. One of the lines is a vertical line with the X co-ordinates at 1050.00. I zoomed the view in to approximately real size on the screen and the line had disappeared. I then started nicking down the X value until at 1049.47mm, the line appeared. At 1049.48mm, it disappeared. I also printed out a page covering the line at 1:1 and the line printed OK.

... fact that it is moving along a curve isn't at all obvious. The best way to understand these 4 functions is to experiment with them. Try starting with an S-curve transition template and using each of them in turn. Here's a bit of video. Watch what happens to the peg and the radial centre marks in each case. You can see that the most often needed function is likely to be snake: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=0OCZEp3uX2ExB_E_tGlGKA2 regards, Martin. posted: 16 Jun 2009 07:54 from: richard_t Thanks Martin, those videos are very useful.

... topic: 620 How do I do a curly corner of two straights? posted: 8 Nov 2008 18:07 from: Richard Spratt I've watched the Curly Corner video and reproduced it successfully. But now I want to do it with two track straight tracks that already exist on the plan at a shallow angle. The best I've managed is to extend the straights until they just intersect. Trim them both 500mm. Put a curve between them. This is templates 5, 6& 7 in the attached box file. Continuing, if I then try to change the curve to a transition it is only a transition at one end. So I then half the swing angle (incidentally halving the swing angle by typing it into the box usually results in calculation failure) and mirror it on peg, but then it doesn't line up with the second straight. Templates 1 to 4. Is there an easy way to get them to line up. Or so I need to persevere with shuffling them around until they look right? Thanks Richard PS How ...
... taking both John and Don to EXPO EM North at Slaithwaite, so it was nice to re-establish contact. Don had a model of Bangor (LNWR) in his loft and would run the "Irish Mail" with 14 coaches and on a couple of occassions managed to "strip" the gearbox on the loco!

... The numbers are needed when printing an actual construction template to use on the workbench, the platforms are needed when printing a full track plan to lay out on the baseboard. I will look at moving the timber numbers above the platforms in the next full update, but it's not straightforward because the platforms are part of the rails printing function -- which have to be above the timbering obviously. cheers, Martin. Here is 2.23.x (not exhaustively tested, please report any issues): posted: 13 Sep 2019 19:07 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I may have found a glitch. When printing with 2.23x, I've lost the switch drive marks. They're visible on screen, and the setting in the new Output elements window is ticked, but they don't appear on the printed copy. They do with 2.23c. I've just confirmed that by saving the box file in 2.23.x, swapping the .exe files back then opening the same box file and printing. Either there's a bug, or I've missed something! Cheers, Paul posted: 13 Sep ...

177. Outside slip
... Crossing angles are on the extreme limit for a fixed elbow, according to the GWR Gospel in the GWR handbook. I guess that the formation is probably not prototypical for a GWR terminus, but due to space restrictions and flowing track plan, my options are limited. However, in 4mm is it possible to build, and have reliable running at these angles. Welcome and appreciate any comments, as this is well outside of my knowledge area. Kind regards Dave Attachment: attach_418_634_gwr_terminus_08_11 _18_0950_34.box 301 posted: 18 Nov 2008 17:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, That's great! Proper partial templates for the slip crossings too! Many thanks for uploading it. There is no problem with those angles. Unlike K-crossings there is no effective limit on V-crossings, apart from the difficulty of actually making the very slender vees. Generally bullhead V-crossings stop at 1:20, so you are well inside that. Provided the check rails are set correctly, they will run fine. By the way, it's not a semi outside ...
178. Problem with 225b
... this is not a big issue- for the moment I can stick to 225a, and in January I'll be getting a new PC(Windows 10 obviously) and will download Templot directly to that and hope that that is OK. But I thought I ought to flag this up in case there is an issue that needs attention; although as nobody else has raised this it does look like some peculiarity with my PC. But puzzling that it has never occurred before with earlier updates. Regards, Stuart posted: 11 Dec 2019 07:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stuart, Thanks for the report. That's a puzzling one -- I don't know anything which Templot could do which would persist after switching off. Also there is nothing different about 225b from 225a in the way it installs, and no other similar reports from other users. How much spare disk space is available on the system? Do you have any anti-virus installed (apart from Microsoft Security Essentials) for Windows7? My experience is that 9 times out of 10 funny issues ...
... most PDF readers. If it didn't match the printed template, it may be the printer which is wrong. Have you calibrated it? Try measuring the light blue grid squares, or for 00 gauge templates, the plain track sleepers should be exactly 32mm long. For EM and P4 they should be exactly 34mm long (unless you have intentionally changed the timber settings). cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Sep 2019 13:12 from: Jason Johnson Thanks will check when at work tomorrow. posted: 23 Sep 2019 07:34 from: Jason Johnson Just to confirm a couple of things, I have followed Martins advice above and update the files and the yellow lines have now disappeared from the prints outs. The scaling issue I was having after again following Martins advice in looking at how it was being imported found that scaling was set to 1:1 and units set to automatic. Having changed the units to 1 unit= 1mm it is now importing to the correct size, this gives me on a straight sleepers of 34 x 3.34mm ...
