... "slide value". Not what I expected. edited to make more sense- it's a been a long day Last edited on 12 Jun 2009 20:10 by richard_t posted: 12 Jun 2009 22:12 from: Martin Wynne richard_t wrote: edited to make more sense- it's a been a long day Hi Richard, If that's making more sense, what was it like before! Seriously, it's all working as intended. If entering the peg dimension directly it needs to be negative on X relative to CTRL-0 on the second turnout, and then you can peg the second turnout over the the first turnout using the notch. Leave the peg Y dimension unchanged on half-gauge for the main-road centre-line. I'll make a bit of Jing video shortly showing that. It's probably easier to zoom right in so that you get more mouse resolution, and then set the required slide offset using the mouse action directly. These peg dimensions are internal to the template and therefore independent of any curving, i.e. peg X ...
... topic: 1193 Track plan tutorial again- Track handedness, negative radius turnouts and crossings posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:16 from: grog_polymer In the Track plan tutorial it also says that looking from the peg at Pos 0 RH refers to the direction of positive radius. This seems really bizare as a track curving to the left is considered to be Right Handed but with negative radius. I don't understand that. There are also a couple of references to shorter crossings being acceptable for turnouts with significant negative radius. Is this due to the fact that the deflection through the crossing is shallow on both roads?

... main road: 2_150926_220000000.png To reduce the bump you need to use a shorter switch. I did suggest using a 9ft straight switch. The shortest available switch is the 1:24 model-only switch as above, which would reduce the bump to almost nothing. To eliminate it entirely you would need to change to gaunt turnouts, with the gaunt offset set to zero. Unfortunately there is no way to make these changes globally, you would need to change each turnout individually -- put the peg somewhere other than CTRL-0 first. Or I can write some code to do it globally? Which is what I would do for my own projects. It might take me a day or two before I can get it released. I'm trying to fix Jim's diamond-crossing conundrum at the same time. Anything is possible in Templot, but I don't always release it because the task of creating a user interface is just too much work, and writing the instructions beyond me. cheers, Martin. posted: 15 May 2020 14:45 from ...

But it was a piece of cake compared to the much bigger problem, and I simply have no idea how to do that -- how to make sure that everyone knows it's there? Martin, I've just tried the Make Tandem function and it works very well. But just one question. I did a test run in 0-MF using a B6 as the second turnout on a single sided tandem and Templot generated the first turnout with a 1:32 tandem switch and a 5.73 curviform crossing. The information panel showed a minimum radius of 81.1" and it looked, as you would expect, a lot tighter than the B6 second turnout with a regular crossing and a minimum radius of 73". I generated another template with a B switch and a curviform 1:5.73 crossing and that had a minimum radius of 74.7". I placed ...

In the case in your screenshot, the CTRL-0 end is at the outer end of the siding. You can see that because the peg is at the inner end, and the peg indicator is showing "1". The two ends of a plain track template are CTRL-0 and CTRL-1. Also Templot draws a marker line across the rail ends at the CTRL- ...
... topic: 3079 A ready-to-use 00 switch? posted: 14 Sep 2017 16:35 from: Martin Wynne Looking at the switch in the Peco advert for their new turnouts: post-1103-0 -13730300-1505402082.jpg© Peco it seems to be very acceptable within the limits of RTR production. I can imagine some track handbuilders might want to chop this part off to re-use in other formations with larger radii and flatter crossing angles. There's a choice of left and right hand. It's clearly a flexible switch with solid blades, rather than the existing loose-heel stampings which I was expecting to see. It's unfortunate that they have gone for a machined notch in the stock rail and thick blade tips seemingly machined on the back only. And the switch tips shouldn't be in fresh air overlapping the toe timber. They might be able to fix that in production. Or it might be possible to trim them back. But I've seen far worse in handbuilt track before now, and you could hardly expect more at ...
129. Three throw point
... topic: 2028 Three throw point posted: 24 Jul 2012 10:20 from: mike47j I'm building a three throw point in 0 guage. Anyone have any tips on how to do this. Especially how to move the inner blades? Normally, I would use a thin strip if fiberglass pcb and lace pins as hinges soldered to the inner face of the rail, but there is no space to do that on the inner blades of a three throw.

Unfortunately, it was on Old RMweb which is off-line at present. It's possible he also posted it elsewhere, such as the Guild forum, so it might be worth a PM to him.

... PDF printout makes it so easy. Once again thank you very much for sharing. Regards, Ken posted: 10 Aug 2010 07:49 from: Martin Wynne Kenneth Beckett wrote: Although I do understand the PEG concept, I have not been able to memorise the locations, this PDF printout makes it so easy. Hi Ken, Even if you forget, you can see the common peg locations very easily. Just hold down the CTRL key and run along all the number keys -- 1 ..2 ..3.. to 0, until you find the one you want. To see the difference between 0 and 1, add a bit of approach track to the turnout (F3 mouse action). Notice that the number appears in the red peg indicator box at the top left of the screen. It may be easier to remember the locations by number rather than the actual name of each location. Note also that 2, 3 and 4 are special -- if you press/click them repeatedly, the peg angle is toggled between the two ...
131. Irish 3foot in 7mm
... 7mm gauges reduced from 32mm work? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. Phil Last edited on 23 Feb 2014 10:03 by Phil O posted: 23 Feb 2014 09:22 from: Martin Wynne Phil O wrote: Can anyone please help with track standards for Irish 3 foot gauge using 7mm scale, 21 mm track gauge and Slaters wheels. Will using one of the already extant 7mm gauges reduced from 32mm work? Hi Phil, The answer is yes. For sharp narrow-gauge curves I would suggest starting from 0-MF 31.5mm rather than 0-SF 31.2mm. So that means reducing everything by the difference (31.5- 21)= 10.5mm reduction. So back-to-back for Slaters wheels is 29.2- 10.5= 18.7mm. For other wheels 29.0- 10.5= 18.5mm. Track gauge 21mm. Flangeways 1.5mm as 0-MF. Check gauge (30- 10.5)= 19.5mm. The alternative would be to use S7 wheels and the corresponding reduction. The ScaleSeven Group may already have members modelling 3ft gauge and recommended standards ...
... sequence you laid out when I was designing this layout, that is I created two complete ovals representing the Up and Down lines with transition curves( easement to straight) on the curves Then I inserted the turnout and then created a" ordinary crossover" This works fine where the other crossover is also on the transition However in this case of the" loop" line, the crossover is too a straight track in this case I find the toe of the turnout does not align correctly and the K is not 180( or 0) but 0.07 etc, i.e. off by a bit By the way is there any way to speed up the tedious process of correcting lengths, I use snap features sometimes as I keep forgetting what all the peg acronyms mean( a drawing would be useful to print out by the way!) Thanks re clearances, 80mm was the number given in the Gauge 0 manual, it seems a little tight alright time to start version 2( as I discovered that in practice I cannot have curved crossovers on 6'foot radius main ...
... force, most of the dimension labels are shown in red: 2_151224_280000000.png (In this mode the sketchboard could be used to create simple leaflets, greetings cards, etc., should anyone choose to use Templot for such work.) When there is a trackplan item on the sketchboard, dimensioning is transferred to the blue rulers on the bottom and right, which are scaled to match the grid dimensions on the workpad and not the printed paper dimensions. It is not necessary for the trackplan item to occupy the full page, the 0,0 origin on the blue rulers will set itself to the bottom left corner of the trackplan, as for the grid origin on the workpad. Items on the page are then dimensioned to their bottom left corner, as on the workpad, and as an indication that this mode is in force, most of the dimension labels are shown in blue: 2_151224_290000002.png 2_151224_280000001.png I'm hoping this won't be too confusing.

... Which version of Templot are you using? Please bear in mind that the DXF import in Templot is very simple and will import only basic 2D line and arc entities, and all blocks must be exploded when saving the DXF file.

Clicking on the menu option you said Templot zooms to the 0,0 coordinate point and nothing is shown.

... came up with a small terminal for a 2 car unit or a pull-push 2 carriage+ engine and some goods sidings. It just didn't gel in my head though. Natalie (my friend whom I go to shows with and plan these things with) suggested looking at the Harton Electric system. Wanting to keep things as simple as possible and within the 6ftx1ft6" space (+ 2-3ft storage), the High Staithes part was selected as being simple and workable. Stock will mainly be 4 wheel hopper wagons and 0-4 -0 electric locos. Possibly 0-6 -0DH and Bo-Bo electric locos could turn up.
