... the bases to create the track formation, glue them down. Ballast it at the same time perhaps, then add chairs and rail. With components such as C+ L's soldered up Common Crossings and ready to use Switch Blades, track making is as easy as any other facet of our hobby. If you still prefer riveted construction, you can use any of the above. And we also have separate 8'-6" and 9' sleepers, with accurately spaced holes for both EM& P4- as I said previously, no more 'one size fits all'. These are complemented by timbers, 18" long and 10", 12" and 14" wide- all cut by laser, with an accuracy that no guillotine or slitting saw can match. And due to the gauge specific sizes, you can use rivets with smaller heads, thus easing the job of adding cosmetic chairs. We are making a start in in 4mm, but will supply 2mm, 3mm, S Gauge, 7mm and Scale7 ASAP. We have no fixed ...

... : 4 Sep 2015 06:05 from: Hayfield Can I make a comment that if using plastic chairs do not make the rail slots too deep, as the rail is held at a 1-20 cant and the head of the rail needs to rotate in the slot. if too deep the rail is held upright whilst in the gage, but relaxes back after thus gauge narrowing posted: 4 Sep 2015 09:19 from: polybear Thanks John- good point. The rail slots on the 15.2mm/16.2mm Roller Gauges previously supplied by me were nominally 1.7mm deep. I've only used them for soldered track construction though, so cannot comment as to the rail cant on glued track construction.

... to come together. I too found it frustrating as I only toyed with it (before getting frustrated) for months until I thought- this is stupid- I can do almost anything... why is it getting to me. I made the decision to ignore old habits, "unlearn", go back to basics (as the website told me on day one), swallow my pride and work through the web examples and then use Martin's excellent Video tutorials which I had only skipped over and given lip service to previously. The Video tutorials did it for me. What a difference. About three things that had annoyed and frustrated me time after time suddenly clicked and I was able to make good progress. Several sessions later the shortcuts and the "where in the menus to look" for various actions was bedded in and anything became possible. If I don't use it for a while it does take an hour of "how did I do that last time".... but it's faster each time... as my ...
... couple of issues I had with the layout. Tomorrow's task is to redraw the storage yard! Martin- I am struggling to get the diamonds on the top left to all sit and meet right. Is there any chance, if you have a few minutes, you could take a look please? I know its sharp pointwork etc, but it will only be six wheeled shunters and 4-wheeled wagons moving over that at slow speed so I think it will be ok. John- thanks for adding those double slips in previously. I need to find out how to do those and 3-way points!

I think that the problem with the diamonds is that you have made them with curviform vees, which is quite OK of course but the associated curved turnouts are regular. I've altered them according and using snake ...

It was done using the make tandem function in Templot -- I'm quite pleased with the result, not having tried it on narrow-gauge before. cheers, Martin.

The two three ways are not identical. One has 80m radius in both roads with 1:5.5 and 1:7 crossings in that order and the second is 80m radius 1:7 and then 60m at 1:5.5. I`m intending to use Micro Engineering Code 55 flat bottom rail with a head width of 26 thou plus or minus 0.002. The standard track spacing on this railway is 4000mm and I believe that to be true at this location. I`m only checking that the point details ...

... topic: 1867 reloading after update posted: 8 Mar 2012 10:03 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin Do you have to reload all your settings each time there is an update? When I restarted after the latest TDV it came up with T55 and asked me to select my track standard. When I printed a template it said that the printer was not calibrated, even though I had done it previously (or is it my fault and I should have saved these settings?) If it is the case that the update does not memorise your previous settings is it possible to have a check list of items to check so that we do not forget to reset all our custom settings.

... upside down, you can place it on a flat surface and check that the rail surfaces are ABSOLUTELY level 4. because we are cutting/ bending the rails directly onto the paper of the Template with no intervening timbers, the accuracy is much improved. 1129_261114_560000000.jpg In this image, you can see that after soldering it all up, I have then gone on to bend the wing rails, and in the case of the right-hand one, to cut it for the electrical gap- the wing rail thus removed having been previously assembled to its vee. You can also see that the other K crossing still requires two check rails adding. 1129_261114_570000001.jpg One aspect which has been mentioned previously in this forum is that the bends in the K stock/ wing rails and in the common crossing wing rails are NOT sharp- they are a fairly gentle radius (equal on the Real Thing to n feet where n is the crossing angle- a one in nine crossing being 9 feet radius- which even in 4mm is a pretty gentle 36mm radius curve! 1129_261114_570000003.jpg ...

I am hoping so.The double track section in the loft is peco code100 and has been in use as it is previously. Having said that, I am unsure if I had both directions passing at the same time. I am keeping everything crossed. I don't recall any collision issues but I may just have been lucky. Not sure what era Trevor is modelling but it does sound like the kind of place where Duchesses might be passing 70' 12-wheel diners at a closing speed of about 140MPH! I will be running some of Staniers finest and 12-wheel diners(Early BR). I may need speed limits on the ...

I've tried clicking on the file in Box file and that doesn't work either. This computer is an i7 processor running 64 bit about 3ghz/ windows 7 Professional.

... original template will need shortening to that exact position to obtain a proper match with the new template." The difference now is that you don't need to move the peg to the required end or location, you can click options in the new dialog. But you can still use the peg method if you prefer by clicking the relevant option. Here is the note in the latest 212a change log: 8. The make transition function has new dialogs when one or both of the original templates is itself a transition curve: 2_061149_120000000.png Previously only the peg location option was available, often requiring inconvenient swapping of the peg to the opposite end, and confusing beginners.

... clearance. The trick is to plan out the plain track layout first and get the clearances right before inserting turnouts into them. I would also advice using the longest turnouts you sensibly can and have used some C switches to improve the radii of the diverging track on the inside of the curve. B-6s are all well and good in their place, but not on the inside of a curve. The Double slips are now all straight as you will stand a better chance of building them than the curved ones you had previously. I have sorted out the outside slip for you but have left most of the timber shoving for you to have a go at. By all means let me have another look at the plan when you have done so and will give it the once over as Timbering is rather more of an art than a science. I hope you like what I have done with it.

... best I can measure the Exactoscale P4 timbering bases, the pips are at 19.93mm centres, which is obviously intended to match the 19.92mm scale dimension within the limits of plastic moulding. Which means that the holes in underside of the chairs are in fact on the rail centre. So my previous message this morning was utter rubbish and should be ignored. Sorry about that. Provided you are intending to solder the rail vertical on the Vero pins, the holes for the pins should be drilled on the rail-head centre lines as previously indicated. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Jun 2015 19:35 from: polybear There's an engineering drawing of the vero pins here: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p /terminal-posts/6319596/- which indicates that the head diameter is 1.62mm. I checked my own samples (which I believe to be genuine vero pins but cannot confirm) which measured out at a nominal 1.64mm; however the heads on all samples measured were not a true circle and so this figure tended to ...

I have reached the stage where I need to produce a template or templates for the single slip roads to form a trailing crossover for up and down lines. I have started on the up road slip but I seem to be hitting the buffers so to speak.I followed the tutorial for a single slip but instead of swapping the turnout hand I have inverted it.It sort of works but I seem to end up with extra lines at the switches and confusion. Any help would be most appreciated please as I seem to be at an impasse.I think once I have mastered this first slip I should be able to complete the other.I also enclose the box file.2110_291142_090000000.png Thanks.
