This ratio was determined in Templot by trial and error, using the ruler against the scaling bar of the background image and also measuring a known proto distance on the plan background image. Plan size (from original Tiff file): approx. ...

... Nov 2008 17:33 from: davelong Thanks Martin Freudian slip, regarding the canal. Unfortuntely I'm more than aware of the Watermill, it was pretty much my local when I still lived with my Parents in Kiddy. I do remember the was a bit of fuss about calling a pub the Watermill when it was built next to the canal! Anyway thank you for the advice on the timbering. I've since decided that it's going to be set roughly somewhere along the old Dudley route probably just south of Wednesbury. An old LNWR route so would that fit in with the timbering you've mentioned. I've attached an photo believed to be quite early 80s of wednesbury. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffee"Dave Attachment: attach_410_625_Wednesbury9.jpg 668 posted: 15 Nov 2008 17:39 from: JimH Looking good Dave, Had a look on the RM site as well, the layout certainly seems to have that "Black Country" industrial feel about it.

... aircraft kit manufacturers use lasers to cut components with amazing accuracy- as do model railway kit manufacturers in the US. It doesn't seem to happen here. But we are going to change all that. So for the past month I have been taking prototype track construction plans and converting them into files readable by laser. Forget sleepers, forget turnout timbers. Instead, we offer complete track and turnout bases in laser cut ply. And not just generic versions. You want 44'6" GWR track panels, you can have 'em. LNWR 60'? NER 45'? MR 45'? They are on our workbench. Turnout bases which you can curve like flexitrack, including NER interlaced, MR with 14" timbers where the Midland positioned them- the possibilities are endless- the list is endless. For narrow gauge modellers, we have made a start with 0n30 bases, and four sizes of spikes and flat bottom rail to suit. You do not need templates or layout generating programmes- although our system will work well with Templot and similar. With ...
... plan. The curve to the R/H end of the layout is in the wrong direction but would not have fitted in with the overall shape so I exercised the rights of my modellers licence! The platforms will be roughly to scale length on the model of about 2' and 3' for the down and up platforms respectively. posted: 16 Jan 2009 15:45 from: John Lewis It certainly is impressive. Err- the turn of which century? Ie are you going to have "The Corridor" and LNWR compound 0-8 -0s or it it to be modern image? I visited Rugeley twice rather a long time ago when the prototype Deltic was on teh LMR and I saw it two or three times come roaring through Rugeley. John John posted: 16 Jan 2009 16:06 from: Mark Pelham I did wonder whether to make a comment on the "turn of the century" phrase seen as it is more commonly used regarding 1900 (and before any more comments are made thats the year, not 7pm! ...
... 6' way. I might offer it up to the masses on RMweb to get some brutal feedback later. Would you or anyone looking consider the plan to be plausable given the spaces between the main tracks and the outer tracks on the left half of the plan are to be two island style platforms. ala http://www.photojones.co.uk/class31/1280/sj006505.jpg kind regards Dave posted: 2 Mar 2009 14:16 from: JimH Looking good there Dave, If you're thinking "Midlandsish"- how about the old LNWR route via Walsall that branches off from Wolverhampton? I remember in the '80s lots of 304s and 310s plying that little commuter route. Most of the expresses went direct to New Street although there were the occasional diversions. Have you also had a look at the P4 New Street website: truly awe inspiring scale and trackwork with some excellent modelling of the overhead wiring?

... : Richard_Jones Hi Mike, Thanks for the suggestion- I have recently been in touch with John, who kindly provided a drawing for a crane match truck. Coincidentally, its rather a small world, as it turn out that when John was visiting another ex-pat who had retired back to the UK (Don Chapman, sadly no longer with us) I ended up taking both John and Don to EXPO EM North at Slaithwaite, so it was nice to re-establish contact. Don had a model of Bangor (LNWR) in his loft and would run the "Irish Mail" with 14 coaches and on a couple of occassions managed to "strip" the gearbox on the loco! I understand that the station section of the layout has gone to the Brookside Garden Centre. best wishes Richard Last edited on 10 Jan 2012 13:05 by Richard_Jones posted: 3 May 2011 19:07 from: Richard_Jones Hi Guys& Gals, I had another "outline" go at Singleton, this time on a continuous curve, rather than the ...

The interesting map (plan of track layout), is that of the one not dated, and although it is marked BR LMSR, it looks almost the same layout as I have for my 1921 LNWR plan, which is what I am working too. There are just a few subtle changes, which occurred about 1945, just after world war 2, to fully repair and replace damage caused during the war. There is another plan (layout) dated 1882, which fortunately, I already have a similar copy of this from another source. The difference between the Network Rail Pan and my copy is, that it looks as if the Network Rail is a reproduced, tidied up drawing copy, where my plan is of ...

Geoff Luckhurst Hi Geoff, Thanks for your response and the information. I would dearly like a copy of the article and turntable drawing, and it would be very appreciated. To be truthful I am not sure about copyright, but I can only say if you send me a copy, it will not be going anywhere else as I need it only for my own LNWR project.

All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 28 May 2012 16:06 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Pierre, Thank you for your message, I will certainly have a good look on the web site of The National Library of Scotland in order to see what they may have, you never know when the need for such information may come up. However, I tend to be mainly interested in the Midlands area of the railway in particular the LNWR company, followed closely by the MR. But again thank you for the thought, it is most welcome.

... If the individual wants to be pedantic and critical about this, I did discover a work round which gives complete accuracy, but does required two templates instead of one. I discovered this whilst doing an irregular diamond crossing for New Street, which had a very sharp (small angled) vee at the one end, this being 1: 3.62 (I know Templot suggests that such small angles not be used[ less than 1: 4], but the layout dictated this) Also I have recently received some copies of original LNWR civil engineering drawings of their Vee crossings and diamond crossings, and they go right down to prototype angles of 1: 2 !!! When I first tried using F5 to align the diamond to the centre lines of the curves with this small angle, I found the main road wing rail alignment to the vee was grossly out and had to find a method of dealing with this, hence the work round. Now back to the work round, below is listed what to do when faced with either a small angled vee ...
... appears to be, I can only describe as, 'joggled', as shown in the screenshot of the attached GIF file. Now this particular Vee crossing has the following data: 9 ft. straight heel right-hand switch (unjoggled) 1 in 2.76 RAM curviform V-crossing( 1 in 2.85 CLM) (I know Templot suggests that such small angles not be used[ less than 1: 4], but the layout dictated this). Also as previously reported, I have recently received some copies of original LNWR civil engineering drawings of their Vee crossings and diamond crossings, and they go right down to prototype angles of 1: 2 !!! I have also included in the attached GIF file another screenshot of a similar angled diamond vee crossing, but this one appears to be OK and is not 'joggled', details of this vee are shown below: 9 ft. straight heel left-hand switch (unjoggled) 1 in 3.71 RAM curviform V-crossing( 1 in 3.78 CLM) I'm not quite sure as to what ...
... or that two single slide chairs have to lie, and are butted together slide to slide, across the gap at the blade points. I can only assume, that the prototype sizes of these chairs must be fairly fixed and defined, otherwise it could mean 'specials' have to be made which I very much doubt. As you can assume I am limited in knowledge on this particular point and would be glad of any help or suggestions, I do however, have a drawing of a single slide chair as used by the LNWR, but this somehow does not seem to fit the bill. Hope someone can help. All the best, Brian Nicholls. 1853_161453_200000000.gif posted: 16 May 2011 20:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, You have the slip switch much too close to the V-crossing. You can't have the other blade opening behind the check rail. Have you tried the slip switches provided in Templot for the purpose? Peg them on to the TCP and MCP peg positions. They are not based on any specific prototype, ...
... here on the Templot Forum. I am sure it has been much appreciated by others as well as me. Regards David posted: 20 Jul 2011 15:16 from: Brian Nicholls Hi David, To say your are very welcome, seems a little inadequate, it gives me great pleasure in being able to help others where possible, and I am delighted that my posting as been of such interest. I note from your Templot ID, you are located at Crewe, that makes me wonder what has happened to all the LNWR, LMS drawings that were done at the large locomotive works there, where have they all gone. Were we lucky enough, as in the case of Cowans Sheldon, that the drawings from the Crewe works have been archived somewhere, or have they gone forever, who knows? Do please let me know how you get on at Carlisle. Anyhow, it's been a pleasure. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 28 Dec 2011 17:35 from: GNR(Ireland) Hi Brian, Many thanks for ...

... topic: 1593 Introduction. posted: 21 Aug 2011 19:48 from: aewood Itroduction. Hi to all. My name is Alan and thought I'd let you know about my modelling and interest habbit's. My main interest is in the LBSCR but also have a big interest in the GWR, LNWR, MR, GNR, GCR, LSWR, SECR, GER, NLR, and LTSR. I love the artistic flare of the greats such as Johnson, Stroudley, Dean, Churchward, ect ect in that period. Another big interest is of the West London and West London joint railway of which I have based my layout on in the 1908 period. I model to 18.83 standards and find research gives me just as much enjoyment as the modelling side.( When I get the chance) I love the idea of Templot and the trackwork layouts that you can produce with it, but when it comes to computers and how to use them, then my brain is only candle lit, so have joined Templot club to try to get to grips ...
... really needed it, perhaps Uddingston on the Caley. The LNER issued the new standards, A to E switches, 1 in 4 to 1in 8 crossings in steps then 9,10,11,12,14, and 16, in December 1933. The LMS perhaps a little earlier. The Southern probably much the same, the GW, as usual, not. My understanding is that the LNER continued to build sleepered leads. I think that the LMS was already a regular user of timbers – I think that the LNWR with its perfect track will have influenced that, though I have yet to find a good photo of late LNW S&C. The GW certainly already used timbers. The LNER was not wealthy. It had to spend carefully. The cost of crossing timbers, already more expensive than sleepers because of the larger section, goes up like Fibonacci numbers for every 6" you add to the length. Sleepered leads were more difficult to maintain, getting the shovels in to pack among all those sleeper ends – it soon showed ...
... topic: 1686 Custom Settings Menu not retaining custom switches posted: 16 Nov 2011 17:24 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, I have some confusion about the Switch Settings Menu, it appears only to retain the very first custom switch that I created. To give you the full picture, a couple of weeks ago I created a custom 12ft switch for LNWR templates using the custom switch – slot 1, unfortunately I made the mistake of not correctly titling this custom switch, although the data in the file was, and still is, correct. When I next opened (started up) Templot, that custom switch had moved from the slot 1 position, down to the very bottom of the list and was titled "custom: untitled custom switch". I then over the next week, used this switch for several templates on my track plan, and after having made about half a dozen templates, I noticed that in the information panel where it tells you what type and size of switch you have, it stated "Untitled Custom Switch ...
