162. Tandem turnouts
... most recent topics with info (apart from this one) are here: topic 2394- message 16119 topic 2410 regards, Martin. posted: 10 Mar 2014 20:09 from: PeterD Thank you Martin, I do not know why the first templates are not in alignment. I did snake one over the other. I have played with this configuration for more than two days and it may have become misaligned while I was fiddling about. Thanks again, I have learnt more. Peter posted: 10 Mar 2014 21:06 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin Is it possible to add a note (additional frame) to the beginning of the video so that when you start it, it says:- this is out of date, so use at your own risk and you might find it easier to follow these links (i.e. the two you quote). Apart from that, is it possible to delete the other out-of-date tandem search results, so that everyone only finds the new tutorials? Not sure what else to suggest ...

... as separate templates. Or if it is special custom turnout you can use the align functions instead to align it over the transition template. Or if the turnout position came first, you can change it to a transition curve template, extend the length of it, and then adjust the position of the transition zone markers beyond the turnout or change radii as required. It's all much easier than what you seem to be doing. A screenshot would be a big help. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Mar 2014 02:06 from: pointo1d Hiya Martin, Sorry for the delay in replying... not had access to my Templot laptop 'til now. Anyway, PFA a screenshot of a simplified situation whereby I've created a transition curve from the straight to the curved section and put the notch under the peg at one end of the transition curve- my intent is/would be to save& background the transition curve, make the straight the control and then split the control at the peg- I have a habit of focussing on the peg ...

... /page-162#entry2512902 What operates the wing rail? Geoff Cook posted: 29 Nov 2016 00:22 from: Martin Wynne Hi Geoff, It's a spring crossing. The wing rail is forced open by the wheel flanges -- because of this it is very important that the check rail is correctly positioned and well maintained. Here are the words and music from BRT3: 2_281920_520000000.jpg 2_281921_080000000.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 29 Nov 2016 00:35 from: Geoff Cook Thanks very much Geoff posted: 9 Dec 2016 06:15 from: rodney_hills Hello, The obvious next question arising is: Has anyone built a model of same, that operates prototypically? Regards, Rodney Hills posted: 9 Dec 2016 12:58 from: Roger Henry OK. I can see from the drawing how a spring 'frog' device can work, but the drawing does not really resemble the photograph. Well, it seems that the 'frog' in the photograph can only be operated by wheel-flanges that are being diverted from the main (straight) track ...
... That might influence matters. It certainly makes side protection boards unfeasible without correcting the position of the shoes. When modelling using 00 gauge track, I set my third rail with the insulated rail supports at 14.2mm from the track centre line. 00 gauge sleepers are generally 32mm long instead of the scale 34mm, which could leave the third rail appearing too close to the end of the sleeeprs. There is a lot to consider Colin Last edited on 11 Feb 2017 10:20 by Colin Parks posted: 11 Feb 2017 11:06 from: Phil O Hi Colin, Thanks for the info, your old 00 layout Newhaven looked good, so I will follow your lead. I hope your new P/S4 one is progressing satisfactorily, I can't wait to see it. Although I model the GW in the mid '20s, these days I do have a certain nostalgia for the 3rd rail EMUs, as I was born and brought up on it for my first 16 years, although my first trip was behind something black with a hopper bunker at the ...

... topic: 2445 Drawing base board outlines on my plan/ box file? posted: 19 Apr 2014 09:06 from: Andrew Duncan Hello Martin I wonder if you could either tell how to draw outlines of baseboards etc on my plan, or where I should look to understand how to do it. I've included the latest version of my proposed EM model of Yeovil Pen Mill which I'm still working on but has come on quite a way in the last few months.

Hi Andrew, There are at least 5 different ways to do this. 1. If you want the baseboard outlines to be part of the .box file, you can create them as dummy track templates.

171. Working off line
... sure what you mean by turning Templot off, but if you mean running Templot without an internet connection the only way is to disconnect from the internet after starting Templot. See paragraph 3 at: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?terms_of_use.htm If you use the Hibernate function when turning your computer off, Templot (and all your other running programs) will restart where you left off when you turn the computer back on, without needing an internet connection. regards, Martin. posted: 13 Apr 2014 07:06 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you, I must have misunderstood what has been said in other replies in the past. The reason for the question is that I am doing a track building demonstration at a local show in May. The last one I did I was asked quite a few questions about Templot. Its much easier to show the answer so I have just borrowed an old laptop which I can take with me to show (providing its not too technical) rather than talk in answering any questions that may arise. ...

... 1200 pixels wide so that they appear directly in the message. But it is much better to upload them to the image gallery, like this: 2_281646_210000000.gif Keep them under 932 x 700 pixels for this, so that they don't get resized. Upload them using the "drawings, screenshots" option. You can then have several in a message, interwoven with the text.

Sorry about the size of the images, I didn't think. I had done this little animation for someone else a few weeks ago, and wondered if we could use such an item. I may do more when I need to demonstrate some of the Templot operations for others. If and when I need to apply such an item, I will, in future, remember the image size limitation.

174. Scissors Crossover
... in a couple of hours then I shall get back to this afterwards. Very best wishes Peter posted: 11 Apr 2014 18:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Peter, If it is essential to keep the 44.67mm centres, you can get round the problem by offsetting the two crossovers, like this: 2_111335_410000000.png It will be tricky to build one of the K-crossings, but the result is that there is room to fit all the check rails where needed. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Apr 2014 19:06 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Peter, I have just completed the scissors for you. See attached box file. I leave the timbering for you to do. This scissors uses your original B6 turnouts, and has a 7ft way. All the best, Brian.

... topic: 2964 I wish it would.... allow Wing Rails to have a knuckle bend radius posted: 14 Jan 2017 14:06 from: ChrisBr As I understand it (early) GWR Wing Rails were radiused according to the angle of the crossing as the became the check rail for the crossing nose. It would be nice (assuming I have not missed the capability in the system- I did look first) to be able to select this as an option under "Real, V-Crossing Options" when modelling these examples and for the printout to reflect this option.

176. Changing Gauges
... topic: 2968 Changing Gauges posted: 19 Jan 2017 10:48 from: PjKing1 Apologies again if this has been asked before but a friend of mine is currently working on KX loco yard in S7 for a friend of his and I'm planning on the same layout in O-mf, can the plan be converted once finished from S7 to MF or will it have to be restarted from fresh? TIA, Paul posted: 19 Jan 2017 12:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Go to gauge> other gauges... menu item. Select the required new gauge/scale on the list. Click the convert group button above the list. If you haven't created a group of templates, you will have the option to group all of them for the conversion. Unfortunately it is not mathematically possible to do a perfect conversion unless the gauge:scale ratio and the gauge:flangeway-gap ratio remain the same. In practice this means only the proto gauges convert closely: S7- S- P4- Proto87- S2 etc ...
... which explains both functions. For this tutorial I have reverted to a static text tutorial with screenshots, instead of interactive video. It was intended to be quicker to do, but I'm not sure that it was in the end. This new function means that several dozen videos and tutorials are now out-of-date in this regard and need re-doing. How did I get into this? I will explain some of the other new 214a features in separate topics. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:14 from: DaveJ61 Thank you so much Martin.

... I make the second turnout to connect to it there is a joggle in the track (not like in the video!). Looking closer at this track, if it is continued until it meets the straight track (as if it was part of a turnout) the tracks do not co-incide, there is a slight offset. Is that correct? I assume not! So what have I done wrong?
