... topic: 2452 GOG-F slip crossover for Steve Rowe posted: 6 May 2014 13:57 from: Martin Wynne Hi Steve, Here is your curved 1:8 slip crossover on 28700mm outer radius. I have done it in GOG-F 32mm as requested but you would get much better running, especially through the K-crossings, if you changed to 0-MF 31.5mm gauge. Excellent roller gauges are available from Debs of this parish. If you decide to change, do not use this template, ask me to create one for 0-MF. Diamonds and slips must be built on a template accurate to the gauge being used, because it changes the distance between the V-crossings. The PDF file attached below is for home printing on 5 sheets of A4 paper. Make sure you change to "no scaling, 100%" in your PDF reader program. You can check the accuracy by measuring the 150mm grid squares. Trim the pages to the red lines to fit them together. For best results use paper ...

... a boxfile of ho US templates, I thought that perhaps converting to O NMRA would carry over the timbering but no. As for the error code, I cannot really help as I had been doing quite a lot of things prior to it happening. The.machine has 16Gb of RAM so it must be the program somehow. I will have another go today, all else fails I do have a non-Templot solution available to me. I have now located another boxfile for HO and have successfully converted the template I need to 0-NMRA, having remembered to engage brain and select the "match original" option.

... topic: 3367 Background image moving when I try to reload the track plan on top. posted: 16 Dec 2018 19:26 from: Gordon A Right having converted the track plan .pdf images to .jpeg images using Nitropdf I saved the two plans. I have the same problem whether I import a background picture .jpeg or a a background image .bgs. I open the background track plan in Templot inserting it into the track pad. I then moved it to X=0 and Y=0 using shift to in background images, then rescaled using autofit (1 :850). All fine so far. Having built the track plan on top of the image I saved it to the storage box. I then tried reloading the image to the track pad. Having successfully reloaded the track plan I then tried positioning the track layout on top of the original track plan using Shift Control F7. The original track plan moved sideways away from the track overlay. The side ways move happened for both the .jpeg and .bgs back ground images? What am ...
... 13 May 2019 20:14 by Jim Guthrie posted: 13 May 2019 20:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Godders, For a diamond or slip it's best to start with the vees, as Phil says. That's because they need to be exactly the correct distance apart, to allow the other rails to align correctly. That also means printing a template for exactly the gauge which you are using. In other words don't try to build 00-SF 16.2mm say, on a 16.5mm gauge diamond-crossing template. Or 0-MF 31.5mm on a 32mm gauge template. Print one for 00-SF or 0-MF, it will be a fraction shorter. For a regular-pattern V-crossing on a curve, both legs of the vee should be curved to the same radius. Curve them after making the vee, to match the template. It's worth printing a rails-only copy of the template on tracing paper or OHP film. That can be laid on the rail tops during construction to check the rail alignments. If ...
... Method 3 (posted: 13 Oct 2012 09:02) – "Start with two lengths of curved plain track crossing over each other,." and using". menu, click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item."- nothing happens?? I guess the instructions may be out of date for the version I'm using? Some notes mention symmetrical turnouts, but not non symmetrical Y's. I was using Templot V 2.19.b (but have just updated to 2.23b) and drawing using 0-MF gauge. It's for a small Southern Region goods yard I'm planning on building with hand built points, ply sleepers/Exactoscale/C &L components, etc. as Peco just doesn't work for me. I'm either starting in the wrong place, have missed a vital step or three or haven't found the right message yet??? Any help would be much appreciated as I've just got totally confused!

... fitted with Proto87 wheels. If you want to use a flangeway gap of 0.86mm, presumably in order to use some other existing wheels, then it becomes impossible to follow the prototype drawings exactly. And if you depart that far from the prototype on the flangeway, it makes sense to be more flexible on other dimensions too. Generally when using wider than scale wheels, such as commercial RTR wheels, it is necessary to reduce the track gauge in order to fit the wheels within a scale model. Hence 00, EM, 0-MF, etc. In which case I would suggest a track gauge of say 11.0mm rather than your strict 11.53mm dimension. Then in copying a prototype track plan, the usual practice is to stick to the prototype crossing angles as far as possible, but accept whatever changes in radius, lead length and switch openings are needed to suit the adopted model track standards. There is a cab ride through Campocologno station available on Google Streetview: http://goo.gl/maps/YeSfxxk4autWGDea6 which shows that the station has been ...

... design I would be doing everything I could to change the track plan to use a tandem instead. Sorry, you lost me with your question about moving the switch. In the classic 3-throw design, each switch consists of one long switch blade, and one short one. Here is the GER drawing of such: 2_280950_180000000.jpg In Templot it would need to be assembled from partial templates. It's doable, but I'm not convinced it could be built reliably in GOG-F. At the very least I would change to 0-MF. Wider than scale model flangeways make it impossible to follow the prototype exactly. (0 -MF and GOG-F can be mixed on the same layout.) Both switches are loose-heel types, certainly the flexible "A" switch which you used for your left-hand switch would never be found in a 3-throw. We have been here before, here is my 11-year-old reply to the same subject: topic 911- message 5256 Tandem turnouts instead: http: ...
170. GWR - Check Rails
... 35 from: David Higgs Refer to my Share& Show Thread here:- topic 3095 I have been doing a little research by reading the GWSG book on "GWR Switch and Crossing Practice" By David Smith and also studying Photographs of Moretonhampstead during the period of interest, BR(W )1948 to 1958. The GWSG Book suggests that from 1910, Guard Rails on Crossings up to 1 in 7 were 11' 6" in Length with 4 Check Chairs. Guard Rails on Crossings over 1 in 7 were 14' 0" in Length with 5 Check Chairs. Studying Photographs of Moretonhampstead I found that the Crossings had just 4 Chairs on the Guard Rails. This, to me would suggest that the Crossing Angles in use at Moretonhampstead were less than 1 in 7. Certainly the Diamond Crossing when checked with Templot using an NLS Map as a Background shape, shows it to be 1 in 7. I have been looking at http://templot.com/companion/check_and_wing_rails.php and also topic 1465 with a view of reducing the length of check ...

... the map (not the stretcher bar or the switch front rail joint -- the switch tips are marked across the rails on the templates). Then adjust the size of turnouts for the best match to the plan. Then for each P4 turnout, put the peg on the CTRL-3 DP position. Put the notch under it for each template in turn. There are 12 slots in notch register, which should be enough for the critical turnouts in most track plans. Then convert the plan to 00 gauge (or 0-MF from S7, etc.), using the button on the gauge list dialog. Plain track will convert accurately, but there will be some discrepancies in the pointwork alignments. For each 00 turnout, put the peg on CTRL-3, cycle the notch to that position, and peg the 00 turnout onto it. geometry> notch> cycle recent notch locations menu item. Finally tidy up the template boundaries to the new 00 alignments. The switch tips will no longer exactly coincide with the toe marks on ...

Rob The likeliest reason surely is where you have a narrow gauge line coming down to the standard gauge transfer sidings for example. I have numerous would-be schemes that I have worked on where the storage box has templates in both standard 0-gauge and 0:16.5 narrow gauge. Same scale of course but very differing rail/timber characteristics.

... 2020 23:26 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ross, Welcome to Templot Club. Setting such a wide track spacing means the mid-point of a crossover is beyond the prototype rail-joints in the vee rails. Splitting the exit crops the turnout template at those joints, so you are left with a gap in the crossover road. A. do this (for Templot beginners): 1. make the control on the outer turnout. 2. click the red peg indicator (top left of screen) to show 0 or press CTRL+ 0. 3. use F4 mouse action (or click the LENGTH button) to extend the length of the turnout until the gap is filled. There will now be an overlap on the exit track. 4. make the control on the exit track. 5. use CTRL+ F5 mouse action (or click the ORBIT button) to move it along to make a better join with the turnout. A slight overlap doesn't matter. or B. do this for a more prototypical result (for ...

Attachment: attach_2744_3326_Marcway_3way.jpg 554 posted: 11 Sep 2018 23:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ray, Thanks for the photo. To make an exact copy I would need something more precise, such as an actual scan of the Marcway tandem. p.s. I note that it has a check rail missing. Also a vee nose hanging in fresh air, and strangely narrow spindly timbering. I have created this 0-MF tandem which I think may be fairly close. The .box file is attached below. If you print it out, place the Marcway tandem over it and take a photo as square on as possible, I may be able to adjust it for a better fit. The V-crossing angles in order are 1:4.5- 1:7.5- 1:5.5 The radii are 1972mm (77.6")- 1287mm (50.7") 2_111801_390000000.png 2_111801_390000001.png cheers, Martin.

I have posted the link a few times: http://templot.com/martweb/templot_history.htm Written in 1999 when Templot was first released for others to use. Although Templot never was "released" in the usual sense. I first showed the Windows version in development at the Gauge 0 Guild's annual exhibition at Telford in 1998, to see if there was enough interest to warrant spending more time on it. After that I received occasional emails asking when it would be ready and if a pre-release version was available. At first I said no, but eventually gave in and starting supplying early versions (on floppy disk) to anyone who asked, from about August 1999. It never did get a formal launch with a press release, advertising, etc. Looking through some old correspondence recently I came ...

180. Straight Switches
... , with the consequence that the NB 12' heel plated switch is all you ever see. As can be seen in the picture in your link, the GW loose heel switches receive additional restraint from the attached rods that pass through slots in the adjacent stock rail. I think this feature may be unique to the GWR. Almost completely off topic, I happened across John Frankenheimer's film 'The Train' on Youtube today. The film's Rive Reine was shot at Acquigny in Normandy and, if you freeze the footage where the Ouest 0-3 -0 is derailed at the yard throat, you get a good view of interlaced timbering on the turnouts there! posted: 10 Oct 2018 11:25 from: Simon Dunkley From the CRA forum, the following image suggests that the 12' foot switches had the joint in a chair, but were for sidings.
