You have the curving through the slip switches going the wrong way. Try this: 1. delete the slip road. 2. delete one switch to the control. 3. put the peg on CTRL-0. 4. click geometry> invert curving menu item. Notice that the main-side stock rail in the switch now aligns with the diamond rail. 5. store& background (INSERT key, or top orange tool-button). 6. delete the other switch to the control. 7. put the peg on CTRL-0. 8. click geometry> invert curving menu item. 9. click tools> make slip road menu item. Adjust it to fit as before. (p.s. instead of ...

... aligns with the underlying templates. Don't change the K-crossing angle. Not always a perfect fit, but usually close enough in practice. If you want a perfect fit, it's necessary to split out all the crossings onto partial templates, and copy the closure rails from the underlying templates. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Feb 2014 16:44 from: Rob Manchester Ludgate Hill is covered along with Holborn Viaduct, St Paul and other stations of the line in the Middleton Press book 'Holborn Viaduct to Lewisham' ISBN 0-906520-81-9 Not too many early pics to give much clue as to the trackwork construction.

A question of radii? posted: 2 Jun 2017 12:50 from: madscientist Oh collected gurus For my sins, I'm designing a large 35 feet 15 foot O gauge layout for my club and building" some" of the turnouts. As I have a lot of 00-Sf work under my belt, how hard can it be ?? ?? ?! !! Reading the Gauge O guild trackwork handbook, they mention that the respective radii of curved points should be 1:1.5 to avoid fine angle at the" V" and potentially long leads on the switch blades, with the comment that wheel drop could occur. Now my space contraints mean my main line double track inner curve is at 6'( sorry I'm an old money man!) And I need to diverge inside that to access the goods line, that divergence radius, I'd like to keep to a min of 5'6" I haven't temploted this yet. But even in O-MF am I storing up ...

Kind regards Andrew posted: 2 Nov 2018 00:22 from: Rob Manchester Hello Andrew, Sounds like you have the GWR in your blood. I must admit to being very bored by the tender engines they made with the exception of the Dean and Collet ones. Tank engines are different all together though. The praries and panniers are instantly GWR in design. The 58XX was an 0-4 -2T( think of an 14XX auto fitted tank pulling an autotrailer) and were popular and useful on lighter loaded routes. The Hornby 42XX is a lovely model- back in the 70's I made a Keyser kit of one which I sadly lost at some point. I am on the lookout for a 72XX 2-8 -2T- maybe sunday at the local toyfair? I have soft spots for Midland Deeley and Johnson types and the Great Eastern/M &GN types have always appealed- J15 0 ...
... topic: 1277 American templates posted: 24 Oct 2010 20:32 from: Bruce I am considering purchasing Templot and I have a few questions. Are there templates for American railroads? I model 2-rail 0 scale and am interested in #6 through #12 straight and curved switches. Also I thought I read that templates can me modified and the exported as .DXF or .DWG files that can be used in Autocad, is this correct? Thanks Bruce posted: 24 Oct 2010 20:53 from: Martin Wynne Bruce wrote: Are there templates for American railroads? I model 2-rail 0 scale and am interested in #6 through #12 straight and curved switches. Hi Bruce, Welcome to Templot Club. First and foremost, in the UK and Templot a "switch" is only that part of a turnout which comprises the moving switch blades (points), not the whole turnout. Consequently it is meaningless in Templot to refer to a #6 switch -- this is a #6 turnout: startup_pad.png If you refer ...
... the Bay Road wasn't in fact a bay as such after 1919 being separated from the platform by a wooden fence and only accessible from the former down line via the single slip which also provided access for locos running round their trains. It formed a second smaller coal yard having two sidings, so on the layout I'll use it for domestic coal which enables me to 'disappear' the wagons to empty them with coal from the 'coal road (No 3) being 'tripped to the mills offstage! Traffic was handled by railmotors, various 0-6 -0ST, 0-6 -2T and 0-6 -0's with LMS 2-6 -2T, Fowler 0-6 -0 4F and Stanier 2-8 -0 8F's later on goods. Goods traffic was heavy given the number of mills (both wool and paper) in the area with all trains running on ticket and staff. That gives me another justification for the layout. As I said I don't like shunting 'planks' but I do love shunting when there's a valid operational reason ...
... pieces of information, Templot can scale the map for you, to match your model scale. If you don't know this information, you will need to scale the map manually by adjusting it with the mouse. Decide whether you have this information now. If you do have this information, click one of the blue bars in the above dialog and follow the instructions. If you don't have this information, click the green bar. You will be asked to enter the required position on the trackpad (you can leave it at 0,0) and the required width in mm which your image represents on your model. If you don't get this exactly right you can scale (re-size, stretch) the picture shape with the mouse afterwards. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ABOVE IS FOR VERSION 213a AND WILL CHANGE IN THE NEXT PROGRAM UPDATE. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Nov 2012 18:39 from: julia Martin Wynne wrote: julia wrote: Ok, am I going mad, I can't seem any obvious way to load the image ...

... topic: 2619 Peco 0 gauge equivalent templates posted: 30 Jan 2015 20:42 from: n15class Hi I will be building a layout which I have got a track plan, almost done. But I also want to build first a test track for me to check locos on. It really needs to have points the same as Peco ones. Is there a template on here that is the same as a Peco 7mm point. I do not want to use Peco as the test track will also be for testing out my track building and scenery etc. Thanks Peter posted: 30 Jan 2015 21:37 from: Martin Wynne Hi Peter, Welcome to Templot Club. There is a download file for templates matching the Peco 0 Gauge turnouts in this 4-year-old topic: topic 722- message 5690 They are for GOG-F (32mm gauge), matching Peco track.

... topic: 2560 How much sideways movement on loco chassis posted: 27 Oct 2014 11:59 from: LSWRArt How much 'slop' should be allowed between the wheels and the chassis? For example, I model using 0-MF track. If I have an 0-6 -0 loco with a certain wheelbase (85mm) running on curves with a certain maximum radius (1200mm), how much movement should I allow on each axle? Is there a simple formula into which you can enter dimensions? This would allow me to decide how much movement to allow on the loco and also whether to gauge widen the track on the tightest curves. If so, can you easily extend this formula to something like an 0-4 -4? Assuming minimal sideways movement on each of the axles, how much sideways movement should be allowed on the bogie for a certain wheelbase? I know this is not a track question, but it seems that the two are closely connected. Thanks, Arthur posted: 27 Oct 2014 13:09 from ...

I'm particularly interested in the standard turnout.... First of all, an apology in advance, just in case anything/everything goes wrong with this posting, as it is my first attempt. Like Jim, I'm also interested in templates for the Peco 0 gauge pointwork, to be incorporated into hidden/storage areas of a planned layout, and it would be useful to ensure that tracks will align correctly in a continuous circuit. I had tried working out the geometry of the points but my understanding of Templot is not sufficiently advanced to be able to replicate all the idiosyncracies of the Peco point. But do I need to bother? Martin (I think) quoted the crossing angle as being 1:7.1. Would it be sufficient just to create a B7.1 template?- ...

... //hometown.aol.com/Gn15modeler/index.html It has been around for a few years. Hi Simon, Thanks for the links. Since writing earlier I found the gn15.info site. It's all new to me! Another mystery -- how and why did Gauge 3 get renamed as G? Gn15 appears to be mainly industrial and contractor's railways using very light flat-bottom rail. Code 100 FB rail seems popular, but at 13.5mm/ft that scales to a rail only 2.1/4" high or about 15lbs/yd! 0 gauge FB code 143 rail would be a better option, scaling to 3.1/4" high, which is around 33 lbs/yd (somewhere between BS-30R and BS-35R sections), so still a very light rail. Anyway, I can now scheme something for Richard based on BS-35R rail top (1.3/4" wide). The flangeway is still a mystery -- Peco 1.4mm flangeways scale up to only 1.1/4" which I suspect is under-scale for such contractor's ...
