1. DXF Import
... topic: 3806 DXF Import posted: 1 Nov 2020 21:11 from: Thomas Clarke A friend of mine kindly drew out to EM scale track plan of Eardisley station in Autocad. When I imported the dxf file into Templot it was the right scale but something weird happend to the file when it was imported as can be seen in the Eardisley JPG when in fact it should looked like 3.JPG. It has also placed it a long way away from the track template 1.JPG and produce some separate shapes located in the bottom right hand corner 2.JPG. Any idea what might be causing this to happen. 3704_011607_460000000.jpg 1.JPG 3704_011609_360000000.png 2.JPG 3704_011610_150000000.png 3.JPG 3704_011610_530000000.png Eardisley.JPG posted: 1 Nov 2020 21:48 from: Martin Wynne Hi Thomas, Welcome to Templot Club. Please could you post your DXF file( .dxf) as an attachment? It's difficult to see what's happening from your screenshots.

... - the first taken in September 2008, the other in June 2006. There has clearly been a bit of patching and new chairs added over the years, and the crossings have been replaced along with conventional long timbers, but the interlaced timbers are still evident. Keith tells me another interlaced turnout survives at Helmsdale on the ex-Highland Railway. regards Graham Roberts Attachment: attach_473_waterloo-turnout-2.jpg 1239 posted: 26 Jan 2009 19:04 from: grahamroberts This is Keith's second image.

Contained in the magazine was an article on Crow Road station in west Glasgow and featuring in one of the pictures with the article was this three way turnout still in use in June 1953. tandem.JPG The picture was taken by the late J.F.McEwan and I've taken a small extract from the bottom right corner.

... topic: 219 Liverpool Exchange 1954 posted: 3 Nov 2007 01:33 from: Martin Wynne As I was saying, some great track pictures get posted on the web, without any mention of the track in the caption. This picture of Liverpool Exchange in 1954 has just been posted on RMweb: liverpoolexchange1954-1.jpg Note the abbreviated check rail in the centre foreground. I think the diagonal track in the left foreground is straight as far as the K-crossings, so this picture would make an excellent gimping exercise (see: Gimping a turnout for Bob).

... that although the file is a .bmp, the image mode affects the way Photoshop handles it. I bet this comes down to a Windows issue, and I wonder if Templot is handling the file in the same way as Photoshop and hitting the same presumed Windows limitation? I suspect the file size comes into it somewhere. This could be a total and utter red herring, of course I did try loading the scans into Templot, but couldn't replicate the problem there. There are so many variables though. Attachment: attach_420_629_Untitled-1.jpg 127 posted: 19 Nov 2008 03:43 from: newport_rod Martin and Paul, Thanks for your help. I've cropped the scan to the extents of the original plan (using Photoshop) reducing the dimensions from 7448*4537 to 6622*2934 and it works OK. So I haven't updated to 0.91 (yet) nor disabled the hardware acceleration. "Did you by any chance save this scan in IBM OS/2 Bitmap format instead of Windows Bitmap?" I'm not sure I didn't do the scan myself but ...
... add cosmetic fishplates when its all tested. On a normal point there are only 2 'proper chars between the slide chairs and the rail end. While plastic track is strong I do feel that relying on these 2 chairs to hold the rail on thier own is asking a lot so my solution (purists look away now) it to continue the rail onto normal track bases. I always try to have rail joints in the middle of a 'panel' for ease of alignment.

After all all points need them and a layout without them isn't really that much fun! In reality though theres nothing difficult about building them its just a cast of right tool for the job and knowing what to do- the ...

Hi Judi, Here it is: fx502p-1.jpg Mine is on my desk in front of me now, looking even more battered, but still working fine after more than 30 years. It's been used almost every day since, much of that time in a toolmaking workshop with oil and swarf about. I have other calculators, but this is the one I always turn to first -- I think I could press the buttons with my eyes shut. It cost the better part of a hundred pounds, which was a lot of money in 1979, but it's earned ...

... some idea of what that looked like but it would be nice to confirm. However I'm doing well on the type of rail, radius of lead exits and now crossing angles for most of the depot. I'm attempting to attach a picture of NSWGR PW in the late 1890's. Main line west out of Sydney. One of my favourite photos as there isn't a loco standing on or in front of what I actually want to look at. Matthew.

Although our projects are separated by several thousand miles and un-doubtedly not dis-similar methods were used, they seem to have much in common. What I find quite noticeable is that you don't just learn about trains as such, but architecture, geology (maybe this doesn't apply in a loco yard- but for example have you seen the way some people put water courses in- rivers cut into deep ...
... what was the purpose of the loose fishplate, did the tongue of the switch rail, pivot in the loose heel chair, This is why in 4mm I wonder just what difference there is in a continuous switch rail, held in chairs until the slide chairs and a GWR loose heeled configuration, other then a a strategically placed fishplate The impression is often given that there was a" pivot" point in the GWR version, but there is no overt pivot AFAIK for example, heres a link to Keith Norgroves site heel-1.jpg, showing the tight and loose heel chairs but in practice in 4mm whats the difference between this and the typically arrangement of slide chairs and fixed chairs on a semi curved point, yes I accept the GWR geometry is slightly different, but in practice, the loose heel fishplate really isnt doing anything in 4mm or to put it another way, the Loose Heel chair in 4mm is a fiction? dave Ps Im not confused about the prototype loose heeled switch, its implementation in 4mm, that has me confused posted: 15 ...
... topic: 3590 Timbering Question posted: 30 Dec 2019 09:51 from: johndon I'm in the final stages of shoving timbers for my layout and would appreciate some advice on the timbering shown below. My feeling are that the red timber is too long but, given it's position, I can't see any other way of doing it. If it helps in terms of timbering practice, the track was originally laid by the NER but was likely to have been renewed by BR by the time period of my layout.
