Alan Probably because I haven't a clue as to what I'm doing like I've previously said lol I thought to myself that if I had an 8' radius curve and I wanted a 6' radius curve coming off this to the right of it then it would make it a R/H turnout.

... topic: 1452 Kudos to Martin& Templot.... posted: 12 Apr 2011 04:45 from: BruceNordstrand I just have to say that I can really see the advantages of Templot now. I had faith after designing my plan in it and it worked out exactly how I wanted it. I have now laid my first turnout using Templot templates and it works perfectly. For someone who hasn't handlaid track in over 2 years I am rapt. Previously I used Handlaid track templates and bases but this is sooooo much better. I know a plain ole turnout is not much to you guys doing evil trackwork but I am happy 632_112345_150000000.jpg This is where it fits into my plan, the first turnout from staging: 632_112348_020000000.jpg Cheers Bruce Last edited on 12 Apr 2011 04:48 by BruceNordstrand posted: 17 Apr 2011 06:01 from: its_all_downhill Hi Bruce, Nicely done and as someone who has just done another first point I know how satisfying it is when everything runs smoothly..

185. Old Rail?
... the flange and 75mm high. It is very like the rail that Richard describes and George shows in his first photo. My rough sketch was very rough and the sides are near vertical: I have atached a photo that I took yesterday that shows this. I think it is possible that it came from the old Snailbeach Railway. Col. Stephens took it over in 1923 and re-laid much of the main line with 45lb rail according to the Col. Stephens Museum web site. If this type of rail was used previously there would have been plenty of it lying around to use for signs or whatever. I don't suppose the GW carted scrap like this around the country to use in this way. The line was GW/LNW joint and presumably GW/LMS joint after 1923. I have plenty of book buying and reading to do over the winter to find out more about the local railways.

... F6 curving mouse action to maintain the swing angle constant by adjusting the template length accordingly (constant-radius templates only, not transition curve templates). There are some Help notes about this at action> F6 curving options> menu options. New mouse action: adjust crossing entry straight for a regular-type V-crossing. action> mouse actions: real> adjust V-crossing entry straight menu item. Increasing the crossing entry straight is a convenient way to shorten a turnout without changing to a smaller turnout size. Previously this required the data to be entered manually, needing a lot of trial and error to get the desired result. The new mouse action makes it much easier to see what's happening. Unfortunately there are no keyboard shortcuts available to assign to this, so it's necessary to go into the menu. The gauge and scale> menu options on the workpad have been moved to the template menu, where they more logically belong. There is still a duplicate access via the session> gauge and scale... menu item on ...
... a bug in Firefox, I've just noticed the same problem on the RMweb site. On this forum the message anchor is the time and date on each message (top left). If you hover your mouse over it in Firefox you will see it becomes underlined, but is not clickable. This shows you that it is an anchor. The browser should scroll the page until the relevant anchor is at the top of the visible area. If you click the Reload button, it does exactly that. Also if you have previously viewed the page and it is already in your cache. But it's supposed to do it first time! If you can bear to change your default browser to IE for a moment, and then click a forum link in an email, you will see that it goes correctly to the relevant message anchor first time. It's very annoying! regards, Martin. posted: 16 Aug 2007 20:48 from: Martin Wynne Rextanka wrote: Safari Version 2.0.4 (build 419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 also has this problem ...

... at 1.2mm gaps to allow both kit built and RTR stock to run without having to change all back to back wheels on RTR stock. The station will have eight platform faces plus limited goods facilitities. The loco shed consists of four roads plus a two road coaling stage and turntable. The station buildings will be overhead with access to all platforms via steps. Platform lengths vary although the longest platform will accommodate a seven coach train plus loco. What has really helped is having a full size print to set the board separation. Previously I would have just built four boards and then had to cut and rearrange track to avoid the board joins. Having the full plan means the sizes of the boards can be set to avoid pointwork and in particular the operating motors beneath the boards. I'm sure I will still have the usual ups and downs of layout construction but this morning has been a big step forward. By the way, I've already been told I can't play trains on the lounge floor.... icon_wink.gif Attachment: attach_228_228_Eastwood2.JPG 1905 posted: 14 ...
... again (albeit in cyberspace). Thank you for taking the trouble to think about the challenges of extending Mostyn's fiddle yard capacity Your approach effectively allocates one fiddle yard per direction. The appeal of this is that it is easy to understand and control. Furthermore the turnout control and wiring of the existing fiddle yard is such that it could be converted to single direction running with no problems- apart from, perhaps, a bit of switch rail fettling on turnouts that changed from trailing to facing in normal operation. This approach has previously been suggested by one of the Mostyn operating team members but I remain to be unconvinced and my logic (unsupported as yet by any attempt to use Templot to prove it) is as follows:- 1. Putting the new fiddle yard inside the existing one doesn't work because it doesn't deliver sufficient storage space. Then, looking at the option which has the new fiddle yard outside the existing one:- 2. In order to bring the existing fiddle yard into use as the new down fiddle yard (Up= Clockwise ...
... , I said no, and managed to get the Half Diamond Check Rail to function as expected. So I guess my question is: what settings is effecting this function? Can you clarify whether you are referring to the V-crossing check rails or the K-crossing check rails? A half-diamond template has both. There are some additional controls for shortening the V-crossing check rails on a half-diamond template to clear slip switches, which may account for the effect you saw, if these controls had previously been used. Check rails are the biggest headache and over the years I have changed the code several times to try to cover all the situations which arise. It is still confusing. The difficulty is to allow you to change them to whatever you want, but still have Templot know what to do with them when you change the crossing angle. Waiting in the wings is yet another implementation, a separate check rail function similar to the Shove Timbers function. You should be able to click on a check rail and manipulate ...
... storing again is the correct way to modify an existing background template. It's quite fast if you use the accelerator keys and keyboard shortcuts. This procedure is more usual when timber shoving and using partial templates. It's not often necessary when first creating a track plan. There is an option on the delete confirmation dialog "don't ask me again today" which will prevent the dialog appearing again in the session. Note that while deleted from the storage box, the template is no longer included in the rolling backup. If you have previously done a lot of work on it, haven't saved a file, and fear your power cable may be chopped through by a JCB* at any moment, you may prefer to wipe to the control instead. This keeps an unused copy of the template in the storage box, which will be backed up and which you can revert to at any time. If you work this way you will accumulate a lot of unused templates in the storage box, but they can all be easily deleted in one go when the design ...

Currently it is sorted in order of member joining date, rather than the more obvious order of visiting. That means I always come first! I will try to change this to something more logical. These changes arrived with the upgraded forum software. The main thing is the improved registration procedure, which so far has been 100% successful -- not a single spammer registration in 3 days, whereas previously I was removing a dozen or more every day. We also now have an assured upgrade path to future versions of the forum software, thanks to Jim Hale at Data 1 Systems. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Jun 2008 11:50 from: Paul Hamilton Great work there Martin- didn't notice a hiccup! posted: 5 Jul 2008 17:02 from: Martin Wynne I wrote: 3.

197. Shoving sleepers
... : is there an easy way to determine if you have made the sleeper spacing too great, particularly at rail joints? Hi Martin, Select the first timber -- I selected sleeper A20 in this example below. Then click the set zero button (shown ringed). It's also convenient to click the full-size inches option. Now when you select any other timber (I selected sleeper A19), the centre read-out shows you the distance (centre-to-centre) from the timber on which you previously set zero. In this example it's showing the rail joint sleeper spacing is 24" from A20 to A19. If you click the centre read-out, you can set it to any other spacing you require. Or if you move the timber with the buttons or mouse actions, the read-out will show the changing position. shove_set_zero.png regards, Martin. posted: 5 Nov 2008 22:47 from: Martin Wynne p.s.

This way, over time, an electronic manual can be built-up. If someone asks a question for which an on-line reference does not exist, then it has revealed a gap in the manual which needed to be filled in any case. Otherwise, much of what is posted by you here gets "lost" as searching the forum for a previously-given answer is a pain, takes up too much time. Often, you must find yourself giving the same answer over and over again.

... attached to the original posting was in fact taken from the road bridge (Stanley Road) and is of the tracks leading past the Engine Shed and carriage Sidings from that bridge to Kirkdale Station. In the meantime, a contact who works at Kineton has measured the surviving Class 502 unit and I now know that the distance from the inside of the adjacent running rail to the centre of the third rail was 16.5", i.e. the BR standard for third rail electrics. What is (apparently) clear again from the photograph previously shown is that the system used standard 8' 6" sleepers but offset to allow adequate land to mount the 3rd rail. The missing piece of information that I now seek is what happened at the overlap where the conductor rail swapped from one side to the other for various reasons, e.g. pointwork or to move the conductor rail away from platform faces. At these points there would be a very short stretch where there was conductor rail (or at least ramps) on both sides. At these places, where longer ...
