... Richard Spratt The entrance to the extended Awrhyllgwami Quarry fiddle yard requires a D12 scissors on a 48" radius curve as per the trackplan in the simplified box file (none of the extra Vees have been added). An alternative to this is to slide one pair of crossovers along so that the outer pair lie toe to Vee as per the upper plan in the box file. Is there anything inherently better about either approach? Will one design lead to better running? Or are both design doomed before we start? Thanks. Attachment: attach_917_1270_D12_options.box 369 posted: 11 Oct 2010 17:03 from: JFS Just had a quick look- couple of comments. On your top option, the switches come "inside" the checks for the common crossings- when you open it out it takes up a fair bit of length. On the Scissors option, there might be issues of how to adequately check the vees for the two "inner" points, as they lie almost opposite the vees for the centre diamond especially given how fine they are. Either ...

I'll start with the complete box file and then post the partial one that Martin is after. You can read the full explanation of the redesign here Rebirth of Slattocks Junctions on RMWeb.

The slip needs to allow movements from the up main (lower track) to the down main. The tandem is in the goods yard and the turnout with no timbers is part of the double junction.

I wrote a message here to ask how to save files to a disc and reload them after restoring the operating system of my computer. Now, if I get this right, the files uploaded here could also be used as attachments in messages as well. Yes? I've looked over just about all I could look at, in order to figure out how to put an attachment in a message of a track plan I drew up, to include the background I used. I'm still trying to do that but maybe this could be a new direction, let's say. Many thanks for this program, I work with it often and I'd like to upload some of my work. LPL New Berlin, Wi.

... curviform crossing) which forms the loop. I'm not sure if it's me or not but something seems a little off. Anyway I am trying to fit this in with a big enough station loop area for 4 coaches and a loco. My aim is also to keep to a minimum of 3ft radius curve for the scenic stuff. The right hand side cannot move any further across as that's where the curve to the fy starts. Oh and do I need trap/catch points on a platform passing station like that?

Also in a crossover both turnouts are normally the same crossing angle. I suggest: 1. on the loop turnout put the peg on CTRL-0. 2. change it to a regular crossing. 3. change the crossing angle to 1:7.5 ...
... topic: 632 Crossover on diverging tracks posted: 16 Nov 2008 22:52 from: Paul Boyd The attached JPEG shows parallel tracks coming in from the LHS. They start diverging at about the 5.5ft mark. I've created a crossover after the divergion point (is that a word??) by a lot of adjusting of crossing angles and roaming until the two turnouts involved line up closely enough for track building. Both turnouts have a curviform crossing. The question is though, how should I have done it so that the turnouts align correctly without all the trial and error faffing about, based on the positions of the diverging tracks being fixed? (I know the timbering is wrong- I haven't started shoving yet!)

... topic: 1154 Single Slip Wing Rails Fouling Inner Slip Rail posted: 21 Jun 2010 19:51 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Everyone. I'm having a spot of trouble with a Single Slip Template, the Vee Wing rails (the reach) of the diamond centre crossings are fouling the inner slip rail, as can be seen in the attached image and in the attached BOX file. I need to maintain the angle of the crossing as this matches up to my Bitmap Background track plan, and do not wish to stray away from this. I have tried changing the numbers in the menu's: REAL Customize V-crossing Wing rail front Wing and Check rails With no change in the length of the wing rail reach on that side. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong or perhaps not do at all. Very best regards. Brian Nicholls.

There are others but this shows the single slip that gave access from the running lines to the goods shed. One line is straight but the other from the siding that parallels the platform is curved so that it joins the goods shed line, which then goes through an arch on the bridge. I've produced the slip as if the line siding line was straight, but do not know how to curve it. regards Philip Griffiths Attachment: attach_2603_3163_Ebbw_Vale_cut.jpe g 357 posted: 28 Dec 2017 11:48 from: Martin Wynne Hello Philip, Welcome to Templot Club. Good to hear from you. The make slip function can create only regular slips, where both roads are straight, or both curved to the same radius in the same direction. To create an irregular slip where the radii differ, you need to start from an irregular diamond-crossing. To create one of those, first put a length of plain track along both roads. One as a ...

115. A Tutoral needed!
... topic: 972 A Tutoral needed! posted: 15 Nov 2009 21:39 from: phileakins Hi Folks I am attaching the latest incarnation of Blue Town, which bears a passing resemblance to Sheerness Dockyard (LCDR) post the 1883 trackwork revamp, condensed into 12 feet X 3 feet space in S7. There is a three-way tandem (they seem to be in fashion at the moment, although I've taken heed of all the advice) I need to finish- its just overlayed right and left hand templates at the moment. When I get everything just right I'll put the V crossings in the right place and play with partial templates to produce the definitive template. However- I cannot get my head around the alteration of checkrail lengths, shortened or lengthened! There are several place where check-rails should seamlessly merge through turnouts and crossovers, but I get hopelessly lost in the various acronyms and options, so that anything I produce is actually by guesswork and accident. Can someone help me though this please? Thanks. Phil PS Surprisingly ...
116. S curve construction
... allow me to get things running considerably earlier- to that end, I've been reading up on the NSR Newcastle (under Lyme) station. However, I only seem to be able to implement the S curve at the down end (see here for a photographic idea of the track bed just after the track was lifted) as a number of individual templates. My question is, am I missing something? Is Templot able to construct such a configuration as one, or possibly two, transition curve(s).?

... . I have quite an ambitious layout in mind (35ft- and no, you can't talk me out of it!). I am going to build a number of smaller modules to gain experience and re-gain practice etc. What I am trying to do is to plot the trackwork now so that I can best decide how to make my trial modules first. I have a specific junction that is causing me trouble; I just can't work out what the geometry should be of the points. The photos I have attached are of the station throat. They are both in perspective and so I can't gauge what they should be- I think it comes down to an experienced eye. If I can find out what ONE of the turnouts should be then I can gauge what the others should be. It is that starting point... Keen railwaymen and railway modelers will recognise it as Whitby Town. I knew the station before rationalisation and my late Father (with whom I planned to build this) was based there as a fireman and ...
