... 13:42 from: Matt M. Oops. 75lb double headed rail and 71-1 /2lb flat bottom. Need more sleep. Matt M. posted: 27 Aug 2014 22:28 from: Brian McK Jim Guthrie wrote: Another tyre profile which might be of use is the 4mm scale Manchester profile which was drawn up many years ago by members of the Manchester Model Railway Society as a finer scale tyre..... Jim, Wheel-making articles in the old 'Model Railway News' authored by Sid Stubbs of the Manchester group prompted my first purchase of a lathe when still a schoolboy. The 'Super Adept' was replaced by a Unimat SL soon after I entered the work force, and machines have got bigger ever since. I was privileged to spend time with Sid and Mrs Stubbs about 20 years ago. By that time I was well immersed in engineering, having made gears and gearboxes to Sid's design (MRJ issue #42) and like Sid, designing gears in real life at that time. He arranged the ...
... 1227 My First attempt at Templotting for Bham New Street posted: 1 Sep 2010 23:20 from: Brian Nicholls Hi All, There are two box files of significance, which represent my first attempt at track design using Templot. The attempt covers a small area of Birmingham New Street Station and is a formation just to the South West of signal box 4 located on the old Midland Railway side of the station. The formation is made up of exit roads from platforms 5& 6, plus exit roads from the old Fish Siddings( I posted a JPEG photograph of this area a few weeks ago, however, do NOT use the photo as background as it is quite distorted due to whatever reason). After several aborted attempts, mainly due to my lack of knowledge and understanding of Templot, and also trying to overlay templates on the partial plan area in some sort of sequence, I eventually came to the conclusion that a new tack was required. I then decided to overlay simple plain track templates on to the plan, putting them as close ...
... meaningoflife41.gif 3 boards work of modules, ready to be printed off tomorrow and work to start. The next challenge is a compact multi level 014 layout with continuous run, and all in 2' by 4' 6".

... large enough yard for a garden railway. I realize people probably ask you how to build the track, so that information may be in the forums (could you point me in the direction). But the 3 rail I do not know about. Again, thank you. Thor Steffen posted: 4 Oct 2010 13:40 from: wcampbell23 Hi Thor Welcome to the forum. Have a look at this topic on RMweb: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f =88&t =45544&sid=2c53b48a1851f37bf38b238f0a07e1da This gives a good overview of constructing a turnout from components. For your third rail I would suggest using bridge chairs, with some packing to increase the height, to support the centre rail. You may wish to make a gauge to ensure consistent positioning of the third rail. Regards Bill Campbell posted: 4 Oct 2010 22:40 from: olstykke Thank you. I stumbled on the roller gauges some months ago and i have lost the link. Still I'd like to know where to get some of the ...
... New to Templot and need help posted: 21 Oct 2010 23:23 from: Mike Huxley Hi all, I'm new to using the system and can't work out how to do a few things, so Please give me a few pointers. First one.... How do you create a simple loop in a curved track without crossing points? Second one.... How do you make a simple siding off the running line without using "return curve", as this doesn't seem to work in extending a sidding at a different angle to the main line. Maybe it's my age and not understanding all of the tuturials. However, help for the simple things is needed... Please.

... topic: 2218 Off line usage posted: 14 May 2013 14:01 from: SidSanders Hullo I bought templot many moons ago, and recently updated to templot 2 (2.07) and it wiped off templot. However I don't always have an internet connection and every time I try and open templot2 up with no internet it won't let me open the program. Is there a way around this? Is it only me that suffers this? Cheers PJ posted: 14 May 2013 14:26 from: Martin Wynne Hi Sid, Please see paragraph 3 at: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?terms_of_use.htm To use Templot2 on your computer where there is no internet connection, please start Templot2 where you do have a connection, and then use the Hibernate function on your laptop. This doesn't use any battery power, the laptop is turned off with the entire current computer state stored on disk. Templot2 needs internet access only during start-up. Alternatively you can get an internet connection almost anywhere via a wireless dongle or 3G mobile phone ...

The vehicle is stopped quickly and hopefully remains in line. Here is one at Birmingham Moor St (on the far right of the picture): http://warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrms1710.htm In the above case, both switch rails must move in opposite directions for normal running, so they can't be linked with a conventional stretcher bar. It would be interesting to see a picture ...
... them when dusk was falling, if it wasn't actually raining. No midges on my trip at the end of June either; the heat wave had killed them all off. But loads of horseflies/cleggs, made walking a misery. posted: 22 Oct 2018 22:03 from: Martin Wynne A rare excursion east of the Severn today -- I walked up to Kemerton Camp hillfort on Bredon Hill. It's many years since I was last up there. bredon_hill4_1280x800.jpg More info: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=5111 bredon_hill3_1280x800.jpg bredon_hill1_1200x836.jpg bredon_hill2_1280x640.jpg A stand of pines on high ground is thought to be a way marker for the old drove roads. Although I can't imagine anyone driving animals over the top of Bredon Hill when it's just as easy to go round it.
