141. Tandem Points
... topic: 2648 Tandem Points posted: 12 Mar 2015 06:32 from: D Foster I was recently asked for images of the sole plates in tandem points. The first example is at the MRC at Butterely. The blade tips are so close here that I would tend to call this a three way point rather than a tandem. I think that there is a sole plate under the first set of blades- drilled holes in the steel plate are just visible- but there is no sole plate under the second set of blades. 3017_120119_070000000.jpg The second example is at Haworth on the K&WVR. Again the blade ends are very close. Also, once more, no sole plate for the second set of blades. First look includes ground levers, connections and stretcher bars. 3017_120125_080000000.jpg Second look is close-up/edit of both sets of blade ends- and only one sole plate. 3017_120128_550000000.jpg Apologies for hiccups in posting- this is my first attempt... posted: 12 Mar 2015 06:49 from: D Foster Hmmm ...
... of shoving at each end, but no need to shove most of them. The trick is to swap them end-for-end (facing-trailing) if needed before you start. As I mentioned, Templot is a tool. You use whichever bit of it does the job. In this case roll rails, but that doesn't mean it would be the way to go in every case. It wouldn't work for a full 60ft rail, for example. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Jul 2020 22:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Julian, I'm making some relevant changes in the next program update, see: topic 3718 cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Jul 2020 04:09 from: Julian Roberts Martin Wynne wrote: Julian Roberts wrote: I'm having a go at tidying up sleepers and rail lengths.

... For example the goods loop should be spaced 10ft way from the main. But if you do that it would take up so much space for the crossovers that there would be no room left for the sidings. I've settled on 7ft way just to show that we do know it should be more than the 6ft way of running lines. I hope that's ok. Absolutely, that sounds like the right thing to do. Thank you! nick Last edited on 14 Aug 2007 21:23 by Rextanka posted: 17 Aug 2007 06:36 from: Martin Wynne Hi Nick, Here's the full track layout. If this is ok I will get the timbers shoved and do a full set of partial templates for the tandem. The diamond-crossing is 1:7 and now straight. I moved the head spur alongside the platform track. This is slightly longer and looks more natural, and allows better scenic treatment. As drawn there was no room for the fence between the tracks. fremington5.png Let me know if this is ok and I will get ...

... I doubt very much that PNG would be required just to reduce storage space (!) but is it going to improve anything to remove it? Hi Martin, From a user's perspective, no. But if it is deprecated (i.e. due for removal) anyway, it is 400 lines of code I can just delete instead of spending time on when there are so many other things for me to do.

It needs to be not more than about 1:3000 scale to be reasonably accurate for railway track, showing the two rails separately. 1:1500 or 1:1250 is good.

... me know my errors please. The one area I am a bit concerned with is the curves from the Vee tip on the first common crossing to the other two I do have to tidy up the sleepering a bit and I need to find out again how to do breaks in rails to stop them running through the flangeway gaps in the common crossings, though this is just a cosmetic change. Thanks in advance Attachment: attach_1762_2409_JJ_P4_3_way.box 345 Last edited on 18 Feb 2014 17:20 by Hayfield posted: 19 Feb 2014 13:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, I'm afraid you have made the classic mistake of not having the two switches far enough apart. This means that there is not enough room to open the second switch blade with its stretcher bar fixing behind the first switch rail, or to fit the slide chairs. As a rule of thumb you need about 3 rail-widths of gap between the rails at the tip. You have only about half of that: 2_190757_580000000.png Remember that the template shows the switches in the closed position, ...

155. Track Plan 01
... based on the LNWR in pre-grouping times or perhaps branch line operation in post grouping (LMS) days, when those carriages would still have been in revenue service. The use of a traverser indicates perhaps storage for a number of trains with which you may seek to operate a prototypical sequence of trains on your model railway. Are you seeking to achieve some sort of prototypical operation? A little more information would probably elicit and greater and more interesting response from the group. Best regards, Pierre posted: 14 Jan 2014 06:35 from: Murryb Hi Pierre What I am looking at is a LNWR branch and I have taken the plan from Llanrwst& Trefriw and add double tracks at one end, as for prototypical operation that is a possibility. This will most likely be the only layout I will build so has to look reasonable good and provide interest over time. I have a large barn and 1.5 acres.the idea of the traverser is storage and to join up with the double track leading outside and the single line branching off ie like the ...
156. Outside slip
... feasible for building. You might also have to watch out for where the locations of the hinge points of the switch blades in the four foot so that the blades are long enough to flex. You might find that you have to make a decision about it becoming half of a scissors rather than an outside slip if things don't work out. With Iain Rice's plans you might have a wee bit of a fight on your hands since Iain can be a bit optimistic at times. Jim. posted: 3 Oct 2016 13:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, As Jim says, outside slips can involve a bit of fiddling about, especially if starting from a CJF or Iain Rice plan. Also in his books Iain incorrectly refers to a half-scissors as an "outside slip", so it may not be entirely clear what he intended. Yes, start with the diamond-crossing. For an outside slip it will be a short one, typically 1:6 or shorter. Insert a turnout in the main road of one half ...

... topic: 2415 Track/ Switch building posted: 2 Mar 2014 06:41 from: Murryb Now that I am reasonably happy with my design I now have to build my first switch. I propose to get a kit from C&L and then proceed from there the switch sizes are B/V6 and C/V10, The slightly finer gauge sounds like the way to go. Any comments please. I feel like I have been seduced(with eyes wide open) by templot into hand built track. Murry posted: 2 Mar 2014 09:23 from: alan@york The finer the gauge the better, within limits. I first built OO standard trackwork, but the gaps (for the wheelsets then available) looked so bad that I went to P4. Admittedly I was recreating a particular place, and wanted all the timbers in the right place...... it just wasn't possible with the compromises in OO. alan@york posted: 2 Mar 2014 10:44 from: Martin Wynne Hi Murry, ...
