... to Box File: check But it doesn't look quite right. The original plan- on a curve- had some slightly 'curvy linear' sidings which I couldn't see how to replicate. I found ways to add track but it doesn't flow as I hoped. I also tried using curviform V crossings- but this didn't seem to help. Really I'm quite pleased with the outcome as my first try but I would be delighted if somebody more experienced might have a few minutes to cast an eye over the outcome please? I've also attached my scan which is obviously copyrighted to OS- I doubt they'll mind too much as it's for educational purposes and a very old map. For the record- this is Hellesdon Station on the M&GN line from Norwich City Station to Melton Constable. I could see trains on this line when I was very small if I stood in our kitchen sink.

... that a large amount of the design will need to be redone which could take me a considerable amount of time. What I'm looking for is if someone could be kind enough to look over my design and check to see where I have issues. I have a rough idea of where the problem areas are, but for some reason I have the thought that even the adjacent track centres could be off. I really need a second opinion on this and seriously hope that only minimal changes will need to be made. I have attached the unaltered box file and will attach the box file with the removed crossover in a second post.

... topic: 2555 Scissors cross over and double slip posted: 22 Oct 2014 18:39 from: Julian Gascoyne Hi all I wonder if anyone more experienced than me in railway track matters would be kind enough to comment on the attached track formation? In the 'in progress' plan I have two versions of the station throat. One version contains a curved formation of scissors cross over with a double slip on one leg. The second version (just below the first in green) has a straight formation of scissors cross over with double slip. So which to choose? The straight formation will be easier to build. But the double slip has ended up with a 1:6 slip road on one side to avoid the diamond crossing V. And I'm not sure about the 1:8 slip road on the other side passing under the check rail. Also I much prefer the look of the curved formation, it makes better use of the space too. But the double slip has ended up as an irregular diamond (V10, K8, K8.02 ...
... topic: 2196 First Slip Attempt posted: 13 Apr 2013 11:16 from: Charles Orr Hi I've had a go at building a slip- my first attempt. It appears to be OK in the the middle but the moving blades at each end seem to be wrong. I've used Martin's tutorial for this. I would welcome advice as to what I have done wrong and how to correct it. Many thanks Regards Charles Attachment: attach_1582_2196_Slip_Try1_2013_04 _13_1110_05.box 343 posted: 13 Apr 2013 12:14 from: Martin Wynne Hi Charles, Nearly there. You have the curving through the slip switches going the wrong way. Try this: 1. delete the slip road. 2. delete one switch to the control. 3. put the peg on CTRL-0. 4. click geometry> invert curving menu item. Notice that the main-side stock rail in the switch now aligns with the diamond rail. 5. store& background (INSERT key, or top orange tool-button). 6. delete the other switch to the ...
... most ending up on Flickr. We all need something to distract ourselves from the pressure of life. For me it tends to be one of, reading science fiction or playing video games. But I also make jewellery as a therapeutic hobby, usually gifts for friends and family. Much cheaper than buying items for people and more personal. it helps distract me from the realities of life (mainly constant pain and fatigue).

Having taken the plungle in building my own track and just started a new exhibition layout i'm having a bit of a job setting out some point work. Mainly an outside slip with a diamond attatched to it. Could someone point me in the right direction to making this possible...

An outside slip was never going to work in that tight space, so I took the liberty of replacing it with a single turnout and a double switched diamond slip. I also eased the curve to make it less like it hand been built using Peco Setrack. The start and end points are, however, the same except for the siding that comes off the slip. I haven't done any ...

I can remove the flare and adjust the lengths but cannot see how to adjust the end shape to match the angle of the intersecting rail. I'm spending hours on this with little obvious progress. Any help would be most appreciated. Regards Geoff posted: 26 Mar 2019 17:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Geoff, Welcome to Templot Club. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, something like this perhaps? 2_261206_010000000.png If not, please can you attach your .box file or post a screenshot? Is the tandem double-sided or single-sided? What are the turnout crossing angles? You can change the angle on the end of a check rail by adjusting the flare length (before shortening it). cheers, Martin. posted: 26 Mar 2019 17:30 from: Geoff Lines Hello Martin -- thanks for your speedy reply. I'm afraid it's more complicated than that. The running line is intertwined with the V crossings. Initially, I'd like to send ...
... topic: 3008 Make a diamond crossing posted: 11 Apr 2017 09:55 from: Panos Tsirigotis HelloAs you can see at the attached image I have 2 tracks (with no timbers as they are on a paved area) that cross& overlap one another. What I want to do is to make a diamond crossing by these two tracks. Is there any function that merges the tracks to form the junction? Thank you in advance Attachment: attach_2404_3008_Crossing.jpg 361 posted: 11 Apr 2017 11:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Panos, Have one template as the control template and the other as the background template. Click on the background template to get its menu on the left. On that menu click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item. However, that works only where the resulting diamond-crossing is flatter than 1:1.5 angle. Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you may be looking for a much shorter crossing than that. In which case you would need to create it manually using multiple ...

... , Marlow, Moretonhampstead, Wallingford and Watlington for inspiration I decided on Moretonhampstead. About 5 years ago I set about constructing an Outbuilding to house the Layout and the ever-increasing Railway related items I have collected over the years. Two years ago, I was made redundant and decided that I would take early retirement and so I find I have a little more time to re-kindle my Model Railway Interests. I first acquired Templot over 14 years ago and have only really dabbled with it on sporadic occasions. I have attached a copy of my Templot Box File and Background Shapes of where I got to around 4 years ago. I am basically at the stage of having to re-learn Templot almost from the beginning although I have followed the progress on the Templot Forum. The recent discussion on importing and using Maps as Background Shapes has also spurred me along. I did import a Map of Moretonhampstead that I copied from one of the many books that I have acquired. It compares reasonably well with the 25" Maps of the NLS. ...

... vehicle tool. Welcomed at the time, but since then -- silence. I can't believe they are all working so well first time that no one has anything to say about them. So I will confess that I'm a bit disappointed and wondering if I have taken a wrong turning. The sketchboard function took months of work and a considerable expense for the licence for the graphics engine. But only a few sketchboard screenshots have been posted here or on any other forums. Only a tiny handful of sketchboard SK9 files have been attached here for comment. Was I wasting my time? And if so, where to next? There are several extra functions I would like to add for my own use, but is Templot already too complicated for most users? Should I be looking at a "Lite" version where users can select pictures of A5s, B6s, etc and simply click them together? Should I provide a way to work with non-adjustable Peco templates? To import plans from AnyRail? A general dumbing down of the whole thing? ...
