... be. I am pretty sure that well built code 83 will look better than badly build code x posted: 11 Dec 2014 21:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, It seems that any 4mm scale rail for 00 gauge is going to look too small, not only for height but also width. British Standard 30lb Flat Bottom rail is 3.1/8" high which scales to Code 139 at 1:22.5 scale. Head Width is 1.5/8" which scales to 1.83mm wide. You seem to be needing 0 gauge rail, such as Peco Code 143 Flat-Bottom rail. Unfortunately I don't know where you would get 00 track gauges for such rail. Debs of this parish may be willing to make some for you if you don't have the means to make your own. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Dec 2014 21:21 from: TPP I had considered the Peco 143 as that shouldn't be too hard to get hold of both now and in the future. The one concern I did have( because I don't ...
... topic: 21 Track Gauges for 0 Gauge posted: 24 May 2007 13:55 from: Richard Lambert Hi there I am about to embark on the build of a fairly extensive 7mm scale layout. It is going to be built to 31.5mm gauge. Unfortunately, I have not found anyone who makes suitable gauges. Question. Does anyone know of a source for 31.5mm gauges? If not, I have found someone who can make them, but who wants clear instructions as to what is required. Is there a set of standard (!) specifications set out somewhere that I can forward? Thanks Richard Lambert posted: 24 May 2007 17:09 from: Templot User === from Brian Lewis === Not 31.5mm Richard, but we do stock 31.00mm track gauges.

... Andy. There are 4 fans on the extruder head. One on each extruder gear block, and one front and back blowing across the nozzles. Are they the ones you mean? I assumed they are there to stabilise the nozzle temperature, but they would also have the effect of cooling the model. The extruder fans run continuously, regardless of whether the extruder is in use. The nozzle fans stop and start, or run at variable speed, during the print -- GCODE: M106 [S {Fan speed (0 ..255)}] Fine tuning the nozzles is tricky because they are difficult to remove and replace in exactly the same position -- I think there must be traces of polymer in the screw thread in the heater block. On the whole I think I might prefer to make any compensation after they are bolted tight. If the intention is to use only flat layers, a simple method would be to attach some abrasive paper to the bed (levelled) and push the head to and fro across it with the (brass ...
... 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 that would work for say mixed Gauge 0/ Gauge 1 -- what would be the model scale? What would the timber sizes be for example? The same applies to mixing 5" and 7.1/4" gauge pointwork, what would be the prototype? Also of course, mixed-gauge pointwork must have a common flangeway gap. For say mixed Gauge 0 and Gauge 1 that would mean using spring crossings or swing-nose crossings, and switch-diamonds, to avoid any wrong-size gaps. I will have a think about what might be ...
26. Import DXF
... is that most but not the entire file comes in. This includes some of the lines representing the track. My problem is that I don't really understand what I am doing with the DXF file. I have TurboCAD but don't really know how to use it. Help appreciated. Templot, and other software, doesn't implement "CLOSED" lines. (I know some etching companies don't like CLOSED lines either) [If you think of a square, this can be made up of 4 lines, i.e. (start at 0,0 ): LINE(1 ,0 ), LINE(1 ,1 ), LINE(0 ,1 ), LINE(0 ,0). Which Templot would import OK. But you could also define the square as (start at 0,0 ): LINE(1 ,0 ), LINE(1 ,1 ), LINE(0 ,1 ), CLOSE. Where the software knows that the line's started at 0,0, so the close draws a line back there. ...
... find this discussed in either GOG forum or on this site? Does that preference apply to wheels as well as the track? I am particularly interested if this reduces track cleaning, which I think is one of the worst jobs, especially if you intend to have point rodding and lots of scenic bits which are easily damaged. What are members' preferences for track cleaning? Rubbers leave bits, so what about chemical cleaners and does it depend on which metal you use for the rail? Can I also clarify something on 31.5mm 0-MF. Am I correct in thinking that the gap at the common crossing and at the wing rails are reduced to 1.5mm, as well as the gap for the check rails? If so, I guess this means that you cannot buy a point kit or a pre-made common crossing, which I had thought of buying to help me make my first point.

... topic: 3388 Mixing DIY pointwork and e.g. Peco or Lenz 0 Gauge tracks posted: 15 Feb 2019 00:15 from: Stefan Sczekalla Hi, first- I need to apologize,- I'm not a native speaker and a lot of technical terms are not common to me in english. I' trying do design a track-plan/ layout using rtr turnouts made by Lenz(Peco) Code 143. Due to some constraints I will have to mix them with some- i have to build by my own. In Germany we have a kind of different way how timber is alligned also some rules/policies state that there have to be two timbers together. 1, are there by any chance predefined Lenz/Peco turnout templates? 2. (how) can I add "double-timber"? 3. can I tell templot to layout the timber within a turnout how its usualy done in germany?

... thought. I will work up a proper design for this turnout and post updated files later. regards, Martin. posted: 16 May 2013 11:48 from: Franz Martin, Thank you for your efforts. I was getting very close to the overlay that you provided. You will notice at the left side the round circle indicates the turnout length. This can be extended- but not reduced in TEMPLOT. I was trying to reduce the length to the location which you have now aligned with the Origin (X= 0). You will notice that the stretcher is located on between the 2 long timbers. The toe end at the center of the strecher. I expect these details are altered after the length and other geometries are corrected.

... have been 4-bolt, or were these also 3-bolt?- Off-the-Rails pack includes 8 CC, 2 CCR and 2 CCL chairs (a.k.a. S1C, S1CR and S1CL respectively). Does that mean 8 chairs for the centre part of the check rail and 2 each for the right and left flared ends of the check rail?- Minimum radius will be 1100mm in the yard and >1200mm on the main (branch) line, for use with a variety of tank locos (Terrier 0-6 -0; Radial tank 4-4 -2; M7/ 02 4-4 -0). Do I need to gauge widen and, if so, would that be for both the plain track and the turnouts? If I do have to gauge widen, which companies make G0G-F triangular track gauges? If I do have to gauge widen on points- does that mean I cannot use check rail chairs, because I would have to separately gauge the check rail. If so, where ...
... topic: 2468 '0' Gauge track& Slaters Wheels posted: 7 Jun 2014 10:05 from: Phil O Which of the myriad of '0' gauge track standards are best suited to Slaters wheels. TIA. Phil posted: 7 Jun 2014 10:38 from: Martin Wynne Phil O wrote: Which of the myriad of '0' gauge track standards are best suited to Slaters wheels. Hi Phil, The answer is 0-MF. Then you weigh up all the pros and cons, for example see this topic: topic 2415- message 16321 and then you decide on 0-MF. It's true that 0-SF would give you slightly better results and appearance, but with the restriction of using Slaters wheels only. So you would not be able to run 0 gauge models with other or older wheels. And you would need to make your own gauge tools for 0-SF, whereas gauges for 0-MF are available from Debs (and also I believe from Roxey Mouldings): topic 1811 If you adopt 0- ...
... in 7mm! Thanks again, Steve PS Suggestion for a future Templot capability- draw 'dual gauge' from the drop down menus? posted: 9 Feb 2014 12:24 from: Martin Wynne Hi Steve, An important point to bear in mind for mixed gauge track is that both gauges must use the same flangeway gap, and ideally therefore the same wheel profile. This can be a problem if you are using the wheels and RTR mechs from a smaller scale for narrow-gauge models in a larger scale. For example 0-16.5 layouts often use 00 gauge wheels and loco mechs. The normal 00-BF flangeway is 1.2mm* whereas for GOG-F it is 1.75mm. If you run 00 gauge models over that you are going to get derailments or at the very least a bumpy ride. A possible solution would be to adopt the 0-SF standard for the 0 gauge track. This is 31.2mm track gauge with 1.2mm flangeways, so matching 00-BF flangeways. The disadvantage there is a) you will be restricted to the ...
... width in mm= 513592.631 x COS(latitude) x pixels x scale/ 2^zoom where 513592.631 is a magic number derived from the circumference of the Earth at the Equator. latitude is at the centre of the map area, e.g. 52.1234 degrees pixels is the width of the image in pixels, e.g. 1280 scale is your model scale in mm/ft, e.g. 4 zoom is the zoom level of the map, e.g. typically in the range 17-21 for our purposes, where zoom=0 means a map of the entire world. Fortunately if you get zoom wrong it causes the width to double or halve for each step, so it is fairly obvious to correct.

... glued every third chair down (this was an experiment for me after all), and once happy, used the new gauges to reset the moving blades and frogs, then glued down the rest of the chairs. Effectively I had converted what were tight straight switches into semi-curved versions of a more generous radius which also included some curvature to the frogs, and I both lengthened the check rails and reduced their clearance gaps. This luchtime- the previously worst loco for derailing even just going at walking pace, (an 0-6 -0 non-symmetrically wheelbased diesel) happily crossed the points at all test speeds, and I tried it facing in both directions, and pushing a long wheelbase 4 wheel wagon that also had not liked this particular pair of points. Unfortunately the only "bubbly" I had to hand to celebrate with was fizzy spring water. RogerW posted: 22 Sep 2014 13:02 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roger, Many thanks for your kind words.

... topic: 421 TG: 31.0mm standards i.e. 0-XF aka O-XF posted: 29 Apr 2008 18:09 from: rodney_hills Brian, I've started a new thread, but this is actually a follow-on from certain matters that were discussed in existing threads under the titles: "Out of one's depth" and "0 -XF or 0-SF?". For my own interest and education I'm presently studying the arithmetic of the wheel/rail relationship and, being interested in gauge-narrowing approaches, was trying to collate the full set of dimensions for each of the 0-gauge finescale variants. You wrote in one of my cited threads above: Brian Lewis wrote: "My own 40 foot 0 gauge layout is 0-XF and I have 8 years experience in building and operating to this gauge. There are limitations- a B7 is in reality the minimum turnout that will ensure faultless operation; wheels should be of a standard similar to Slaters, but that is it- there are no more constraints. ...
... topic: 2285 point blade movement in 0-MF posted: 12 Aug 2013 12:01 from: LSWRArt What point blade movement should you allow for in 0 gauge? I am working to 0-MF with 31.75mm track gauge (31.5mm+ 0.25mm gauge widening as most of my turnouts and, indeed, most of the layout is on a curve). So with a back to back of 29mm and a tread thickness of (say) 1mm I worked out that the clearance from the closure rail to the back of the tip of the blade needs to be (31.75mm- 29- 1mm =) 1.75mm, so I thought i should allow 2mm movement. The C&L slide chairs allow maximum 2.2 mm movement, so that tallied. Any comments, or should this work reliably? N.B. The GOG manual mentions 3mm, but that seems excessive.
