You should now see a 3-D timber. Rinse and repeat for all the other timbers (although as I mentioned earlier it's best to do that after all the chairs are in position. 2983_051552_530000000.png.

This is something that I know I need to get into sooner rather than later but anticipate something of a learning curve as I've only ever done a small amount of 2D stuff. However my initial question is, is it necessary to have the Lightworks Plugin for v22 to do the rendering? posted: 6 Mar 2018 17:19 from: Andrew Barrowman Borg-Rail wrote: Sorry to butt in but I just have a small question.

There a dozens of types and coil voltages available (those are for 12v dc power supply). To install such a sugar-cube relay you just dab it with the glue gun anywhere you like under the baseboard. cheers, Martin. posted: 8 Sep 2018 08:21 from: Stephen Freeman Good Morning, Martin- I think you would need latching relays for polarity changing. Servos are constantly powered (5vdc) direction speed etc is controlled by the signal, so I don't think powering a relay off that would work. Don't know the proposed method of controlling the switching of the servo but a dpdt switch could control the polarity as well. If you are worried about the servo switching off and the blades losing contact, then you have the blades too stiff. The servo will in fact still be powered, ...

... topic: 978 Servos for Turnouts posted: 22 Nov 2009 15:17 from: Stephen Freeman I am now convinced of the advantages of using servos to operate turnouts (and signals for that matter) and have attached one to an 00 turnout, this is fastened by means of a nut and bolt to a piece of pcb, which in turn is soldered to the underneath of a pcb timber, which in turn is soldered to the rail via brass rivets. I have removed the first timber for clarity. Picture attached. 142_221037_590000000.jpg There are also a couple of short Youtube videos on my website if anybody would like to take a look. It's my first foray into the world of Youtube videos etc and I'm still coming to terms with the various programs I have on my PC (Windows Movie Maker is easy but quality in my opinion leaves something to be desired, so I haven't used it).

... Dec 2018 21:47 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Martin, Yes, that's the fans. They are for cooling the filament after it has been applied. The amount of cooling depends on the feature size. Sometimes they are not used at all. Mind how you go with shaving the nozzles. The small diameter part is very short. I made one once but I don't remember how short.

... topic: 1146 Finescale Insulated Metal Tiebars posted: 14 Jun 2010 13:13 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I've recently added a range of Finescale Metal Insulated Tiebars for scales/gauges 2mm scale to 7mm scale, to my range of products, you can see a picture of the 0 Gauge version here. Finescale Tiebars 0 Gauge 2_152349_290000000.jpg Borg-Rail 0 Gauge Stretcher Bars (Manufacturer's Photo) From: http://www.borg-rail.com Advantage over any other version of using copperclad 1) Copperclad moving tiebars are too rigid and may eventually break the soldered joint 2) Copperclad moving tiebars which use some sort of pin pivot can eventually fail due to the pivot wearing through the tiebar. Advantage over other scale tiebars 1) Being metal they are easy to connect to underboard point motors, a simple loop is all that is usually needed. 2) tiebar will deform rather than snap or break, but is rigid enough to operate blades. 3) Easy to alter to your exact standards.(within reason of course!)

This is because of the flux needed. Does anybody have an easy solution to this? posted: 23 Feb 2011 11:03 from: BeamEnds I don't know if it will work, but one of the 'non acid' fluxes might help. Or perhaps a quick paint with an etch primer (maybe a zinc rich primer?) immediately after the joint has cooled and cleaned as per welding.

... following the video I think I've almost achieved a proper three way, although the two leading(lefthand end)crossings maybe a bit too close together longitudinally? But I've still got rails going right through central crossing and can't work out how to shorten them. There maybe other things wrong with it as well timbering apart which is hidden at present. Advice on any aspect of it would be most welcome.

... topic: 1431 Printing to a PDF file posted: 22 Mar 2011 10:29 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I want to print a fairly large plan out to PDF, so that it can be sent to a commercial printer for printing. It's over the limit for A4. Whenever I try to set the page size to something useful like A0 or A1, the program asks me to calibrate the printer, now, fairly obviously I can't do this as I can't actually print it out, not having the printer. So I cancel that, try to print but the page size has gone back to A4!!!! What's the way round this if there is one please? posted: 22 Mar 2011 11:22 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stephen, If you are unable to do a printer calibration you should select the option to use printer uncalibrated, don't cancel the printing. You may want to create a custom paper size in ...

You may need to sign up to Western Thunder to get the pictures at full size. He used baulks under the crossing rather than timbering. Phil posted: 2 Apr 2019 08:02 from: Stephen Freeman The Southern certainly seemed to have a penchant for this type of arrangement, usually brought about be the lack/cost of available land (I assume). One thing I'd like to see in Templot is the ability to alter the actual angle of the end of rails (check or wing). At the moment there are a few things I have had to fudge on the latest project. Doesn't affect ability to build it but it would be nice rather than essential. One other problem is that the maps are scanned ...

... topic: 3350 American Timbering specs posted: 31 Oct 2018 15:13 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, When you choose NMRA O scale standards, Templot does not adjust the timbering to the required format. i.e. it stays on UK settings, which are wrong for the USA. Timbers are I think 5mm wide in 7mm scale (or thereabouts) and the spacing is a lot closer. One other thing, I was going to alter one in the shove timbers box, just as a one off but Templot crashed with a Fatal error 195, when I tried to alter the first timber. posted: 31 Oct 2018 21:02 from: Martin Wynne Stephen Freeman wrote: When you choose NMRA O scale standards, Templot does not adjust the timbering to the required format. i.e. it stays on UK settings, which are wrong for the USA.

... trim back the base to 30thou beyond the rail and use two per check rail chair. For three bolt chairs use four bolt chairs for the check rails trimmed back as above. Have a good look at drawings and pictures before you start. Don't forget to get some bridge chairs for the locations where ordinary chairs will not fit. There are useful topics on RMweb about trackbuilding and these often have useful pictures. Next thing to ask about- tie bars!

For check rail chairs it depends on the type of ordinary chairs you intend to use. ...
