181. My Magnum Opus
... topic: 1527 My Magnum Opus posted: 4 Jun 2011 21:03 from: NeilD Hi All, Attached is my initial plan for my magnum opus, based on Crianlarich Station on the West Highland Line, with the intention of building it to reflect its NBR days. This is intended to be a P4 layout. (For those of you who model in "N gauge" you may be familiar with the Loch Oran layout by David Harrison, which is also based on Crianlarich.) I'd appreciate any comments and Peer Reviews (although many of you are far too good for me to call you peers). I particularly have a problem with template no. 30, "Goods Sidings" which is a transition curve and shows a minimum radius of 12.6 inches! It would be possible to move this closer to the main lines but I'd prefer to keep the distance to remain closer to the prototype layout. Don't worry about the runaround loops- they may never get built: it's the station and goods and maintenance sidings that need to be ...
182. "Plan Y"
... topic: 1429 "Plan Y" posted: 22 Mar 2011 00:59 from: Ian Allen I've just spent almost a week working on a grand plan for a friend who is looking to have a re-design of his current garden railway which will involve putting more of the railway into a building. This will allow for running more months of the year than current. Templates aren't all finished as I have quite a bit of timber shoving to do!

... . My plan is to learn to hand build the turnouts on the station board and use peco for the fiddle yard. I am starting track planning now so I can spend the next few months learning to build trackwork and then when the trackplan is completed hopefully produce some turnouts to put in store for the actual build. For the plain track; I am currently leaning towards DCC Concepts 'Legacy' flexi-track. I have spent much of Christmas on the steep learning curve for Templot and have created my first track plan( attached). I know that it is far from perfect having used some crude techniques to fit it together which hopefully can be improved on as my understanding of this fairly complex program increases. It is based on Huddersfield but with sufficient modifications that it could not reasonably keep the name( and I certainly do not have the skills to scratch build the magnificent main station building), hence the working name of 'Ravensfield'...Ravensthorpe is a small station between Huddersfield and Leeds. Allowing for misalignments and excess sleepers which I have struggled ...
185. Odd printing result
... had to take pictures with a camera. Print screen just brought up the pop up menu. 479_170528_360000000.jpg Now here's a strange one. Closing right in shows there are double lines to the right hand rail in this shot. Selecting that rail only picks the two inner white lines on the rail and leaves the two outer lines in red untouched. This double rail effect covers the whole length of rail down to H17 and prints fine on all the other sheets. I don't think it is the cause, but unusual nevertheless. 479_170531_300000000.jpg Attachment: attach_1108_1540_Eastwood_mid_and _low_level_17th_June_2011.box 379 Last edited on 17 Jun 2011 10:50 by Gordon S posted: 17 Jun 2011 11:36 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, Thanks for posting your box file. I'm baffled. I've looked closely at it and tried printing the area in question, and I can't find anything wrong. It prints fine here. Although with a different printer my page outlines don't exactly match yours. I'm especially puzzled by your final screen pic with double rail edges. The only thing I can think is ...
186. New 7mm Project
... topic: 3009 New 7mm Project posted: 11 Apr 2017 20:03 from: Josh C Good Evening, I just thought I'd start a new topic to show you what I have been working on recently, and for any feedback on what other people think of the plan and for some guidance on a few finishing touches for this design. I have recently been working on a project with a friend of mine, who has recently started out in 7mm. As you will see from the attached photo and file. The project consists of two parts; a permanent fixed running loop with fiddle yard and a integrated layout that has been designed to exhibit. The outside loop, which contains a double slip, two points and a passing loop on one side and a ladder fiddleyard on the other side. This has been designed based on 32mm Peco track work, this part of the layout has already been built and is just about up and running. The fixed part of the layout has been designed like this so we have somewhere to continuously run locos ...
... topic: 1337 Pre 1900 Bavarian turnout posted: 16 Jan 2011 15:56 from: Franz Martin; Thanks for developing a great tool. It will take me some time to learn this. I am staying with the v74 while I try to learn. I am attempting to build a layout with custom turnouts. I am developing a Pre 1900 Bavarian turnout. I am using drawings from the Laenderbahn Forum (see attached): (click the image to see the large full-size scan, or view it in the Image Gallery): 2033_161048_020000000.jpg I have had trouble determining the terminology used for turnout designs. I came upon the entry topic 1129 which is helpful. I am having trouble determining the Heel Offset from my dimensions. I am also planning to use Proto87 parts for an HO layout. I do not know if I should use the Drawing dimensions or the dimensions of the Proto87 hinges. Do you know the dimensions of Andy's hinges?

... large layout plan for some time, I can print it out in sections, but I would like to share it with the club and friends, it consists of 374 templates and the box file is just over 3mb, is it possible to compress this file or do I need to split it into smaller portions?

... photo of my simple jig for holding the rails in a Vee shape whilst being soldered. My 25 watt iron has to be very hot as the aluminium strip acts as a heat sink The strip is easily bought from a local DIY store and its 10 x 2 mm I guess a more ingenious person could invent an adjustable one, but the chocks have to be the correct size. These jigs can be made from sleeper strip (ply or copperclad) or even thick card, for 4 mm scale 1.06 copperclad strip is fine Attachment: attach_2174_2781_91.JPG 903 posted: 17 Nov 2015 12:19 from: Nigel Brown Jim Guthrie wrote: Another method which works very well is to dip the hot iron tip into Carrs 188 solder paint when you get an almost instant tinned tip. A similar idea; if you can get a blob of solder to attach to the tip, just dunk quickly in 188 flux. I find the wet sponge method works fine. I use it before and after every single application of the iron; it becomes automatic after a time ...

... topic: 1663 A Conrail #8 Turnout for bolted rail based on July 1979 drawings posted: 22 Oct 2011 18:55 from: leo_sandstrom Hi After having a look at the available templates for download I thought Id give it a go to produce a turnout based on a specific american prototype. Please see the attached PDF for the prototype info. I started off with a generic american template that I found on this forum and tried to modify it. I start off by having the generic template active and pick slot 8 for the remake. I answer yes, adopt the switch from the control template for slot 8. Then I press custom again and enter new or modified data. I name the new turnout: Conrail #8 16'-6" switch for bolted 119lb rail (1979 drawings) Next question is the type of switch, thats easy, its a straight switch. Next is the lead length to heel. This is explained as: "This is the distance from the tip of the blade (switch rail) to the ...
... if you have 4 tie bars in, shall we say, more or less the right places, then this should mean, you have the 4 switches in place. Now if that is so, then all you should need to do is select one of the switches (tie bars) that does not have a slip road, and put it to the control, and then in the menu bar at the top select< tools >, then in the drop down menu select< make slip road>. This should then attach a slip road to that switch. All you need to do then is to use a combination of< F4> to get the right length of the slip road, and then< F6> to get the right curving to fit onto the other switch at the other end of that slip road pair. Hope this helps. All the best, Brian. posted: 18 Mar 2014 12:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Adrian, The pre-set slip switches are intended to be snapped onto the Crossing Positions ( ...

195. platforms
... , when I did the same for the platform version (platform edges added) again the DXF was good, with one exception and that was, there was a large red rectangle around the whole thing with a red cross going from corner to corner, just as if it had been crossed out in a box. Any ideas why this might be? As an incidental, it really does not matter too much about the "cross-out", I could still successfully draw the station from the file anyhow. I have attached one of the DXF files with the re cross showing, sorry can't attach the non platform version it's 7.48 MB in size. Regarding the platform testing, as I stated, I thought this was superb and appeared to work really well, but again with one exception, I found that when the platform needed to follow the curvature of the turnout side of a turnout, for some reason it kept going straight on and cut across the rails of the turnout. See attached screenshot below for detail. I found that this was ...
... ! I have been plugging away at converting the On30 samples to On3 with some success. However, the turnouts are being a pain. What I am trying to do is use 24" tie spacing with 6' x 7" x 5" ties throughout. I have attempted to create a custom turnout from the On30 #5 but the tie spacing will not play ball and every time I try the ties under the frog area do not change. Could someone possibly help, I am going round the bend! box file attached Cheers Bruce Attachment: attach_771_1097_On3_track_& _turnouts.box 224 posted: 6 Apr 2010 09:27 from: wcampbell23 Hi Bruce There is an option to adjust the timber spacing for turnouts- open the real menu and select timbering and then timbering data. Try varying the setting for: fill timber spacing I found this necessary when creating templates for 16mm scale 32mm gauge.

Many thanksTom posted: 26 Nov 2015 16:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tom, Welcome to Templot Club. Instead of explaining in words, I have made you a bit of video. This link is in the awful smudgy MP4 format, playable on all devices: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=uJpRngddpc2Hc8Pf8dHzgA2 And even smudgier on YouTube:: The file attached below is in the much better crisp FBR format and will play on the Templot FBR player if you are using Windows or Linux (but maybe not on Apple devices). This is a short-angle diamond crossing, for which prototypes vary a lot. The timbers therefore need to be shoved manually to match your prototype, or to whatever you want. I will make another bit of video showing that shortly. Likewise the K-crossing check rails need some adjustments. regards, Martin. Attachment: attach_2177_2792_clip2_edited.fbr 308 posted ...
