... Hi Martin, It seems "Snowdrift at Bleath Gill" was actually 1955 -- see: http://nicwhe8.freehostia.com/btf/productions/films/BT0213/BT213.html As for remembering 1947 John, I claim the Boyd Amendment -- I was born in 1948. Martin. Of course! The standards weren't invented in 1947. (Senior moment). If I'd given the subject more thought, I'd have realised. A friend of mine is the leading light behind the very slow, painstaking restoration of 78018, at Darlington, the loco that got stuck. (We have a model of it running on Stainmore Summit). To get back to the first film and as for funky editing, the first impression might be of Barbados being fired. The footplate shot is of a wide firebox loco with a flap firebox door- probably an A4. The fireman is firing from the driver's side, probably to accommodate the cameraman. Martin L posted: 19 Apr 2009 03:11 from: Martin Wynne Jim Guthrie wrote: Someone earlier referred to ...
... ft through to 5 ft 6in. With Angle of Crossings in all gauges, from 1 in 1 through to 1 in 18, with some at standard 4 ft 8 1/2in gauge up to 1 in 20. There are other tables relating to curve radii There was an interesting Preface in the book stating, that the founder of the original Summersons book printing company Mr. Thomas Summerson, designed and superintended the construction of the first set of switches and crossings to be used on the first passenger railway; The Stockton and Darlington railway 1825. As Brian Lewis stated, As long as it does not infringe any copy-rights, I could scan articles, if there was anything specific anyone wanted. Best regards. Brian Nicholls.

... as a ready-made Glossary, but I think you would find it quite rewarding. It would probably lead you to publications which are in your areas of interest. If you were to join the Scalefour Society then you would gain access to a wealth of useful papers, guides and technical information. Also a forum populated by builders of track. It is an approach, which I followed, that led me to NERA, the 1926 LNER track publication, and followed by a visit to the Ken Hoole/ Mallin collection at Darlington, resulted in my locating detailed formation plans of my area of interest. If you want some links, please feel free to send me a PM. Best wishes Les G 20 Dec 2011 18:54 from: ESJAYTEE Martin, in which case tying it all together like that then (when viewed from the beginning of the learning curve) sounds good to me Les.... aaaah another victim drawn in by the lure of North Road. I'm already a member of the Scalefour Society and NERA (I've got ...
... as a group it gave me the options to drag the corners but not when I try a big group! I'm on south coast of England and using most recent version of Templot but version 7.1 of Sketchup so I can use dxf import add-on! Appreciate any help but not sure how much you can help without the file?! Not sure if this will work but this is a Dropbox link to the file which you may be able to access... http://dl.dropbox.com/u /89921088/Darlington%20Templot.skp (but it's still uploading at the moment and says it has 36 minutes left so I'd leave it a mo!) posted: 25 Sep 2012 22:59 from: James Sorry, Dropbox given up as well! Will try again in the morning. posted: 26 Sep 2012 12:49 from: Martin Wynne Hi James, No need to upload a file, I can reproduce the problem here. There seems to be a bug in the Sketchup DXF import. I have tested it with DXF files ...
... Aug 2013 09:27 from: Martin Wynne Here are Ian's pics. Click them to see the hi-res originals which contain some useful details -- the Midland Railway was fond of 3-throw turnouts. Many thanks Ian. 2013_190424_470000000.jpg 2013_190425_140000000.jpg Here again is the GER drawing -- spot the differences: 2_280950_180000000.jpg Some notes about it: message 5256 Martin. undefined posted: 23 Aug 2013 22:08 from: Martin Wynne Mick Nicholson has kindly supplied this pic of a NER three-throw turnout. NER Whessoe Lane Darlington: 2_231705_570000000.jpg It's interesting to note the different chair types. Also each switch is carried on separate interlaced timbers.

... and at the same plane as the base of the block, upon which the chair is set. Holes are drilled into the stone. These are about two inches in diameter. Oak plugs are driven into these and then bored out with a three-eight inch auger. Once the chair is placed on the block an iron pin is driven through the hole in the chair into the wooden plug. To get a more uniform seating a times a felt pad was laid between the chair and the sleeper block. The Stockton and Darlington Railway used chairs with four pins. There was a design For fastening the chair to the block which required two holes, at two inches diameter, drilled two inches upward from the bottom of the block. The rest of the block is drilled through at three quarters of an inch. Two bolts of that size are place heads downwards with the other ends passing through the chairs. Keys are driven through the ends of the bolts wedging the chair to the block, which can be tightened at any time. The only disadvantage ...
... idea. Are you suggesting recording the trackwork as it is currently, or can any era be included, giving the viewer the choice which era s/he wants to look at? Given the amount of 'real location' modellers, there's probably a good start already (albeit some of those 'real location' modellers will take the awkward habit of compressing things.) For example I have/ had/ can again Whitby pre 1960s, Edinburgh Waverley pre 1960s, pre 1980s, Battersby circa 1950, Wolverton Works, and part of Darlington Top Bank (pre 1960s). But they were all sitting on top of NLS (OS?) maps and may be slightly different scales to your Open Source (as per my other post). Nice idea. I find replicating locations in Templot to be as enjoyable as building anything else for real. Derek posted: 28 Aug 2020 19:15 from: Martin Wynne DerekStuart wrote: A sound idea.
