101. new cunning plan
... have taken the liberty of reducing the crossing angle on turnout (template 17) to a B6 turnout and added a transition on to the GW freight link getting rid of the 10" radius curve and giving a radius now of 22.6".

Wondering if you alter a few lengths here and there, and a few other bits of shoving around, you might end up with something a bit more flexible, or more balanced in terms of operation. Here's a few thoughts. a) Can't see anywhere on the LMS side where you could store a few coaches while goods operations are going on. If you shifted the release crossover on the left some way to the right you could leave ...

... long with two traversers serving the main line and branch to the left of the plan and another traverser serving the mainline on the right. I would welcome any comments on the feasibility of the design. If there is anything obviously wrong with the plan, constructive criticism would be welcomed. There is still work to be done on shoving timbers but until such time as I'm satisfied with the overall design, that can wait for a later date. Attachment: attach_1271_1730_STAIRCLIFFE_JUNCT ION_v44_7-12-11.box 354 posted: 16 Dec 2011 13:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi David, Thanks for sharing your track plan. Unfortunately your outside single slip is not buildable as it stands -- the slip switches are too close to the V-crossings. There isn't really room for an outside slip at that location. As the crossing angle is 1:7 you should be able to fit an ordinary inside slip there, without the radius being too sharp. Adjacent to that you have curved and straight tracks crossing. If you try using the TDV program, you will ...
104. Minimum Radius
... . posted: 31 Aug 2010 14:46 from: RichardTP Hi Martin Thanks for your replies, I want to make track construction as simple as possible so will be using C and L pieces, so will I have to go to a B6 if I don't use an A5. Can I ask another question please. Can I use imperial measurements! I would prefer to have inches on the left and bottom of the screen instead of mm's is there an option for this. Thanks Richard posted: 31 Aug 2010 16:06 from: Martin Wynne RichardTP wrote: will be using C and L pieces, so will I have to go to a B6 if I don't use an A5. Hi Richard, Using C+ L components you can build an A-6 turnout, which actually has an easier radius than a B-6 (but a sharper switch deflection, so it won't take much curving) of 75.6" like this: 2_311050_130000000.png Note that using C+ L switch blades you can also build 9ft and 12ft straight switches, because ...
... . The result is a softer image but a better representation of the original. Resampled to 12.5%= your 50%: Lanczos3 2_031109_570000000.png At this size there just aren't enough pixels to contain anything more than a smeared effect. The grating area is only 28 pixels wide and you have 47 "lines" in your diagram (grating bars and spaces between them). I'm not sure where your problem lies or what all this demonstrates? Your image is just fine. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Oct 2010 18:06 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Thanks for the information, in particular the parts related to the use of various algorithms to re-sample the image. You are perhaps quite correct in your assumption, however, I will keep doing what I am already doing and hope all will be acceptable. It would seem from what your experiment has shown, that for 'Z' scale, the current image should be OK, and that is good news. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 3 Oct 2010 22 ...
... The few pictures I have seen appear to show that standard 9 footers are used throughout. That said, the options for timbering a tandem in such a fashion are quite limited. My suggested solution is attached. I do not claim this is the only solution and if someone knows better then I hope they will let you know. You just have to tidy up the rails through the crossings now. Well done for what you have achieved so far. Tony.

I will study this carefully and come back to you after I have done so. Is there something you think needs particular attention as regards cleaning up the rails through the crossings? So far as I can see all one can do is superimpose the first crossing on the diverging closure rails- is there a trick I've missed here? posted: 9 Dec 2011 22:25 from: Tony W John Palmer wrote: Tony, thank you for the revised ...

On your top option, the switches come "inside" the checks for the common crossings- when you open it out it takes up a fair bit of length. On the Scissors option, there might be issues of how to adequately check the vees for the two "inner" points, as they lie almost opposite the vees for the centre diamond especially given how fine ...

... topic: 1533 Possible bug posted: 13 Jun 2011 08:06 from: its_all_downhill Hello Martin, I don't know whether to be happy or sad as I having joined your beta crew initially seeing all the other more learned users posting feedback to the TDV I thought I might have been a bit to eager to jump on the band wagon. However the more I use TDV I find more and more features I never really knew about and that make life so much easier Anyway on to the reason for the post, whilst trying to reimport a background image (jpeg) back into a plan I received the following error.

... selecting a background template for editing by using Wipe to Control. Perhaps Delete to Control would be better? I have watched the video a few times, and found it to be helpful.

Hi Les, Wiping a template removes it from the screen and printing, but leaves it in the storage box (and the .box file) as an "unused" template.

... another layout. You can be sure the trackwork will be constructed using HiNi rail. One of the primary reasons I'm considering the use of Steel Rail is due to the suggestion that it stays clean much longer than N.S. Rail (perhaps this explains it's growing popularity for exhibition layouts?). However, your HiNi rail sounds interesting Brian. How does it compare to Steel rail for staying clean please? And what solder& flux do you recommend for soldering? Many thanks.

... "pick-and-place" program such as AnyRail for that. It's true that there are a few Peco-matching Templot templates for download, but I've never suggested that anyone should actually build them or design a layout using them. The only sensible way to use Marcway with Templot would be to use their kits as a source of components for building Templot turnout designs. For more than that you really do need AnyRail or XTrackCAD or similar, not Templot. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:06 from: Hayfield madscientist wrote: Businesses have overheads to cover, plus the cost of design and manufacture "Naw" its good business to allow your customers to plan how they will use your very expensive products, this should be free send me an email when you are ready and perhaps its a bit easier to understand with a quick chat whats to understand, Im confused.

... topic: 3777 Red rails for below minimum radius posted: 21 Sep 2020 06:27 from: Jerry Goodwin I saw a forum post, which I now can't find again to link to, where Martin explained that with a certain series of steps one could end up with a turnout with a very short (like less than a foot at full scale) section of rail with less than the minimum radius. In that post, the offending bit of rail was shown as red filled, while the rest of the rail was not filled. My question is, where do I turn on below-minimum-radius rail highlighting? I've googled my fingers to the bone, and all I've discovered is that: The red rail (Aphanapteryx bonasia) is an extinct species of flightless rail. It was endemic to the Mascarene island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. which isn't close to the answer I was looking for, but might be effectively correct if I can't do it. The reason I am asking is I have laid ...

Before you start do save group to a file. You could call it temp_group.box and re-use it each time. Then if the shift/rotate results are not what you wanted, you can delete the group and add the original templates back ...
