... topic: 460 Peco medium 00 turnout posted: 18 Jun 2008 22:45 from: Geoff Cook Hi Martin has placed in samples and examples box files for Peco small and large radius turnouts, does anybody have a box file of the Peco medium radius turnout in 00 that they would like to share needed to create new fiddle yard entrance Geoff Cook posted: 24 Jun 2008 02:28 from: Martin Wynne Geoff Cook wrote: Martin has placed in samples and examples box files for Peco small and large radius turnouts, does anybody have a box file of the Peco medium radius turnout in 00 that they would like to share Hi Geoff, I intended to create templates for all the Peco range, but retired as a mental wreck after just two! Sorry about that. However, all the Peco turnouts have a common 12-degree exit angle. That means that you can create a "footprint" for planning purposes for a medium radius turnout simply by adding some approach track to the short turnout template. It won't look like a medium radius ...
... points), not the whole turnout. Consequently it is meaningless in Templot to refer to a #6 switch -- this is a #6 turnout: startup_pad.png If you refer to a whole turnout as a switch in the American style you will get in a terrible muddle in Templot. Templot can create any size or style of turnout, including American prototypes. Here for example is a screenshot showing some typical American turnout templates: h0_usa_turnouts.png The Templot data file for these can be downloaded from: http://www.templot.com/samples/usa_turnouts_h0.box (Right-click and "Save Target/Link As...") Those are #5 and #8 turnouts, but using the F5 mouse action in Templot they can be adjusted to #6 or #12 turnouts, or any other size. Likewise using the F6 mouse action they can be curved to any radius. Here's a typical result of doing that. These are #7 and #9 turnouts: 2_250342_380000000.png They are currently in H0 Scale, but could be easily converted to 0 scale ...
... gauge template and wonder if a mixed gauge point template could be a possibility? This might be a wider general solution, with the user specifying the two gauges, and I am sure would be useful to many users in the larger scales. We also have a large 5/7.25" gauge track. By ignoring the straight road the original request would also be met. What do you think? Hi Peter, Thanks for your thoughts. Templot has always been able to create mixed-gauge pointwork. See for example the sample mixed-gauge crossover here: topic 289 The .box file can be downloaded to see how it is made up from partial templates. Here is a copy of the download link: http://templot.com/samples/p4_gwr_mixed_gauge.box If you are asking for an automated function to create mixed-gauge pointwork, that would be a massive programming task, there are so many variables. The starting point in Templot is always the prototype, usually where there is mixed standard-gauge and narrow-gauge. I don't know how ...

How long depends on individual circumstances. Very quiet branch lines might have retained joint sleepers and short fishplates right up to closure.

... topic: 1254 LCDR plain track posted: 26 Sep 2010 18:35 from: phileakins From various (mostly SecSoc) data sources I attach a box file with four LCDR plain track variations covering the period 1860 to 1893. Any further information very much appreciated. Phil PS the samples are in S7, but being plain track will readily convert to any other gauge.

Used on plateways, I've never heard of this being done on a main line (Chatham to Faversham) before. However, that is how the report reads. Sleepering is also interesting in that, although the joint chairs are carried on rectangular section sleepers, the intermediate sleepers were half- ...

... that is 6' x 18" wide. The question is, to Martin or those more knowledgeable than me, does this look right or have we got our figures wrong somewhere. Is there anything else that should be altered? Also, does Templot automatically adapt on different scales to things like double track spacing? Any help would be appreciated.

Is that what you referring to earlier? Latest file below. I'm also talking to a good friend who lives round the corner and has his own graphics company, so I pinged the sample file over to him in PDF at 6000 dots and 1200 dpi for him to look at.

... quality control leaves a lot to be desired. But most modern RTR runs fine on 00-SF as-is. There is lots of discussion about 00-SF on RMweb (some of the older topics got a bit heated). If you haven't seen it, you might like to look at Stoke Courtenay using 00-SF: or video full screen: http://www.youtube.com/embed/9g-Qr-u8YKE?rel=0 (topic is 40+ pages -- this one is just a sample): http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/112547-stoke-courtenay/page/34/ cheers, Martin. posted: 3 May 2020 17:12 from: David Gwynne Hi Martin Yes, I follow Stoke Courtenay which I think is a beautiful layout. Hadn't realised it was OO-SF. I'll be frank- I tend to avoid the gauge discussion threads on RmWeb for that very reason! It's often hard to actually get the succinct answers you need!

They are very good. I got a sample yard of his G3 track parts recently to have a look at the scale and the combined sleeper/chair mouldings looked good and the track went together very easily. He also does gauge widened sleeper/chair units for the relatively sharper radii found in the larger scales. I've decided to go for the smaller 1:32 scale (accurate G1) and I'm intending experimenting with his sleeper/chair units to build Caledonian interlaced turnouts.

... track center-lines only, and track with center-lines is provided by items on the geometry menu. These are template design settings included in the data file -- not to be confused with the generator and display options. One way of working with Templot is to create a bare-bones design using these centre-line only templates. A long sweeping S-curve transition perhaps. Then the detailed individual templates can be aligned over it and snaked along it into position. For an example of that, reload the sample file _85a_clungunford.box, copy the "transition centre-line" template (top right) to the control template, and then extend it using F4.

... can generate such a hostile reaction? Hello Martin, You saw my personal list of "could-get in a tizz about" on RM web- but they have all been debated before (and get mentioned again above). As you said in RMWeb- you are already aware. The bottom line is that you might see the same outward reaction from three or four people yet that reaction might stem from completely different reasons. If I had to put my finger on the "most common cause" (based on a sample of about half a dozen discussions at Scalefora) it would be that basic manipulation of templates is not obvious because it is so different from what people might have experienced. (there is no such thing as intuitive!) I would be prepared to bet that we here all have different basic methods of work- how else can it be that so many people ask why they end up with piles of duplicate templates in their box and cannot understand why? It took me AGES to get into a method of working which now ...
... towns have a digital printing shop able to do posters, banners, signs, etc., who will be able to print large format PDF files. Impress upon them the need to set the scaling to NONE or 100% in their PDF program. This is not the default "Print to fit paper" setting, so you will need to tell them about this 3 times. But they won't have a clue what you are talking about in terms of calibrating the printer, so do this: a. take a small sample PDF file for printing. b. take it home and measure carefully across the grid lines. You won't be able to correct X and Y directions independently, so measure along the tracks rather than across them, as this is clearly the more critical dimension. c. calculate the required correction needed (if any) and enter it as the output scaling factor in Templot: 2_230839_290000001.png d. make a fresh PDF file and take it for testing in the same way. e. if it's ok, get them to do ...

... . To me there are many issues with the photo's subject to be comfortable saying, "This is the way it was". A number of things just don't gel. As a record it doesn't fit finished practice for the type of permanent way it is supposed to be. The ballast is beautifully levelled, but at the wrong height. The issue of the missing tie bars. If this is track being laid 1880's they would be reusing track work that is around 40 years old. That isn't impossible, I gave a sample that I am aware of. But it is a little unlikely with this form of track. 1830's track wasn't the best even when new. If what Mike has suggested regarding discovery during renewal is correct, then a decision has been made to record what was found. And the site has been prepared to give the best viewing result. And this makes sense. Especially if you understand the difference between the modern way of recording industrial archeology and what was done then. Likewise if it is just being relaid a similar decision ...
... They show in green on the storage box. Library templates can be created directly by storing the control template as a library template: 2_150906_140000000.png Alternatively you can save a group of templates normally, and click the add library... button on the storage box above to convert them to library templates as they are added to any other trackplan. Or restart Templot, add library... the group file to an empty storage box, and re-save as library templates in a new BOX file. I have created a sample BOX file containing some of your templates as library templates, attached below. Add it to your trackplan and then select and copy templates as above. I think a save group as library templates function would be a useful addition to Templot, so I will look at that. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. cheers, Martin.

... is very useful for narrow gauge, but depends on your gauge and prototype http://www.kbscale.com/pdf/Track&Turnouts-A5.pdf posted: 16 Oct 2016 00:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, As far as I know, 009 means only 4mm/ft scale, 9mm gauge, N-gauge flangeways. Everything else depends on which prototype you are modelling. That's why there are no narrow-gauge pre-sets in Templot, there are simply too many variations. Here I have created some sample 009 templates which you may want to try or modify. I used the following settings: 1. flat-bottom rail, head 2" wide, foot 5" wide. 2. sleepers 5ft long and 9" wide at 36" centres. 3. plain track rail length 18ft. 4. turnout timbers same 9" width. 5. custom switch having 1:21 planing angle. 6. adjacent tracks at 10ft centres (40mm) which would mean rolling stock say 7ft wide maximum. Sorry, this ...
59. Templot updates
... have been making some silent screen videos from the later versions of Templot. As proper tutorials they are somewhat lacking because they are so bereft of proper detailed notes. But everyone seems to like them and not mind the scruffy unprofessional production. You can find a list of them at: topic 12 Can I upgrade directly from 0.74 to 0.91b or do I have install all previous updates first? You can go straight from 074b to 091b. But you should always install 074b first because the later downloads do not at present include the sample files or Start menu shortcuts. You can have as many different versions of Templot on your computer as you want and run whichever you wish at any time. In fact that's probably the best solution to the tutorial update problem. But I hesitate to recommend it generally to new users because I know that some have at best a tenuous hold on the workings of their computer, and I just don't have the stamina to explain it and sort out the inevitable confusions that I know would arise. regards, Martin. posted: ...
... using 16.5mm in storage yards etc. makes sense, if only to avoid having to make all that trackwork!). Trevor, Further to infos provided by Brian, above.... Peco 2nd radius setrack curves are 17.1/4" (438mm) and are generally considered the minimum radius that should be used for modern RTR stock (the packaging of much of it states that it should not be used on radius R1, 14.5/8 ", 371mm). Measuring the Track Gauge (TG) of a sample of this R2 setrack gives a figure of around 16.83mm (aside: P4 minus 2mm !) which gauge widening obviously allows most proprietary RTR to cope. Whether you consider that as TG 00-16.5 (DOGA-any, 00-BF BRMSB, etc) widened by 0.33mm or as TG 00-16.2 (00-SF) widened by 0.63mm is pretty irrelevant. The point is that the aforementioned RTR stock will get round it. Also, Messrs Peco's machinery will produce a far more accurate 17.1/4" ...
