But is a 1:5 slip workable? Last edited on 14 Feb 2012 10:37 by RedgateModels posted: 15 Feb 2012 09:40 from: Stephen Freeman Depends on your minimum radius requirement. Tiebar operation could be less of an issue.

... start with the common crossing and check rails, building outwards. I have had no problems using this method. Consequently I have started the double slip with the two common crossings and check rails. What should I put in next? My slip has switchable K crossings. Clearly I need to gauge off certain parts. Bearing in mind that I have already done the common crossings, how to proceed to get the best result? Any advice gratefully received.

I was at the East Midlands show yesterday and had the good fortune to chat to Tony Wilkins on the Scalefour stand. There was a double slip on display and we went through the basics of the construction sequence which was much the same as you describe. ...
... has to pay for it if it is to remain available after the bus gets me. There are and will be numerous "download" links on there which are advertising and nothing to do with Templot or me. Please don't click such links unless you know what you are doing. There is nothing related to Templot on there yet. The existing Templot2 downloads won't be on there, because that site is restricted to hosting open-source software. cheers, Martin. posted: 27 May 2018 18:49 from: Stephen Freeman I sincerely hope that things work out for the best, I really don't have the time and I've successfully managed to forget all the Pascal I ever learned.

... found a light bit of pressure for a few seconds is all that is needed, or if fitting a half chair light pressure with a probe, holding the chair in to the joint rather than pushing it into it. I would guess it was either the type of dye/paint you used and or too little solvent that gave the problems. Remember though that with plastic and ply the joints can be broken by sliding a scalpel between the two or a sharp knock posted: 23 Jun 2016 07:37 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Can't help wondering if the "dye" had some sort of polish in it. I've used water based fence paint without problem, both before and after glueing the chairs down. These days I use a bowpen to administer the MEK, which is much cheaper on Ebay.

... reduces the radius from 50 miles to 5ft. *assuming straight or REA semi-curved switches. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Sep 2016 23:04 from: madscientist Ok so the set still remains on the curved side. Does the straight section still remain before the curve begins. So then on the opposite rail there is no set and the rail initially curved at the outer radius and after the planing angle then curves at the inner radious Right? Dave posted: 24 Sep 2016 13:35 from: Stephen Freeman At the risk of incurring wrath, I think the answer is probably not necessarily so. From what I understand just because a turnout curves to the right does not necessarily make it a left hand turnout. i.e. you can have a turnout which curves to the left but could still have started out as a right hand turnout. As Martin will tell you (I think) there is no such thing as a straight rail in Templot, just a very large radius, so from that, I think you can deduce ...

I can't advise on the central vee as I do it a "non-approved way", which I worked out for myself years ago, nowadays I know there is supposed to be an easier way to do it but it's quicker for me to carry on doing it the old way.

... at your design. My main concern would be the width allowed for platforms- in particular the island platform for the main station. I don't think it would be wide enough for a footbridge or subway entrance. You may also get comments about the use of a double slip in a running line- would this be accepted practice for the area in which your line is based? Best wishes. Bill Campbell. Last edited on 5 Apr 2019 13:32 by wcampbell23 posted: 5 Apr 2019 14:21 from: Stephen Freeman 2 Main areas for concern immediately in addition. Diamond crossings on a curve can be a source of problems. Best to build some of the it fairly tight (0SF). On the Left hand side the outermost track is too close to it's neighbour- bit more clearance required (well quite a lot really). Double Slips in main line station areas not unknown. More clearance on curves may be required depending on stock being used. Last edited on 5 Apr 2019 14:23 by Stephen Freeman posted: 5 ...

... additional slip switches. Also change the half-diamond settings for shortened check rails and extended timbers to those for a double slip. If you do any customizing, make sure the slip switches are far enough from the V-crossing to allow room for both points (blade tips) to stand open between the wing rail fronts at the same time. They normally move over together, but may need to be both open during testing and maintenance. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Apr 2013 07:47 from: Stephen Freeman Martin Wynne wrote: Charles Orr wrote: I intend to use to use servo motors to drive the slip.

... baseboard length, which with the use of expansion joints* at the "actual" rail joints and baseboard junctions can be lost fairly inconspicuously across three or four joints per board. Granted I've still got three baseboards to fill with track, so maybe in a decade or two.... Hope this helps, Regards Chris* I did put some thoughts on expansion joints on the ScaleFourum a year or two back- I'll elaborate here if it's of any interest. posted: 11 Apr 2012 08:53 from: Stephen Freeman It all depends on the layout's location. You are more likely to experience expansion/contraction problems if it is subjected to direct sunlight. I can't say that I've ever seen any severe problems where this not the case. Do not, however rely on soldered fishplates for electrical continuity, it's asking for trouble. posted: 11 Apr 2012 12:09 from: LSWRArt If you are using the usual C&L track construction method with ply baseboards, glued granite chips or ash ballast on cork or rubber- can you ...
