I had a play with that bit of track- it showed 12.6 inches because that was the radius! I have changed the yard point to a shorter switch and a curviform crossing- it makes a big difference! You will no doubt want to tweak the sidings and go through the rest of the geometry ... a minimum radius of 12.6 inches! Hi Neil, Thanks for uploading. It really is 12.6" radius. I suggest doing this: 1. Change the B-6 turnout to a 12ft switch. You shouldn't really be using REA switches in the NBR period anyway. 2. Change it to 1:5.5 crossing angle. 3. Change it ...
... to shunt it. Where there are no timbers, the intention is for cobbles. There is level crossing near the exit from the fiddle yard to protect the mainline from the road access that will enter the yard through a large, gated, brick arch.

The arc cut outs are for the operators ... is to have small traversers in the factories so that handling of stock is kept to a minimum but this is still being considered for practicality. I have tried to keep the turnouts as shallow as possible except for the factory spurs and maintain as a spacious and flowing line as I can in the space available, my loft when not being exhibited.

123. 'Slewing' curves
... 1. where the diverging track is part of a crossover, or leads to a loop or lay-by siding or other track running generally parallel to or alongside the main road -- always* use a regular (or generic) V-crossing. If there is no connected pointwork you may prefer to use a parallel type V-crossing instead ... 2. where the diverging track needs to curve away from the main road, for example in a double-junction or in yards -- then you should consider the main road curving: 2a. if there is contraflexure (negative curving radius) you will almost always* want to use a curviform V-crossing. Otherwise you will get an unsightly ... . See: http://templot.com/companion/swell_function_ctrl_f10.php Looking at your plan it is probably not a single radius. Instead of using swell you could start with the turnout, make branch track from it, curve the branch track to the line, and then make transition to the existing straight track. For an example of this process, see ...
... Up Slow, Down/Up Fast around the Stafford area, which is what I am modelling. Does the 11'2" measure apply through platforms as well? I appreciate adjacent roads will be further apart because of the platform width. Cheers Richie posted: 5 Oct 2017 17:01 from: Phil O I have just had a look at Google Maps ... . While emailing Colin he mentioned that a things such as interlaced sleepers are a big no-no for concrete sleeped track, which brings me to my question. Hidden fiddle yard track will be copperclad so it doesn't really matter what standard i use for that I guess! How can I get Templot to model the layout and produce the templates based around ... getting back into model railways after a fair few years away, just involved with the big railway instead! I'm going to be modelling EM gauge with hand-built track and turnouts using EMGS Code 83 flat-bottomed rail. My plan is to use Colin Craig's components (such as the Pan11 baseplate) on the scenic section to replicate a small part ...
... with its 1mm check rail gap (same as Scale7). In fact you could almost call the 31mm gauge standard "Scale7- 2" If you considered going down that road then you could easily get your Scale7 wheelsets from Slaters and push them in by 2mm (yet another peculiar British combination- exact scale wheels on narrow gauge track.) Jim ... The running is very much better. The long curved crossover, somewhere around 1 in 14 would not be possible in 32mm IMHO. We reverse mineral trains through them into the yard and there is no deviation, lurch or drop whatever. In fact, you can't tell where the turnouts are looking at the wagons. I commissioned my own gauges from a ... locos( Agenoria kits) and short 4 wheel stock( 1930's period) I will probably only use Slaters wheels on locos and stock. I want to be able to build turnouts down to A4 if possible but will use gentler ones if I can fit them in. I want to be able to buy the required gauges to make the track. I ...

Thanks& happy new ... layout right around so the whole layout is a kind of big oval so it makes the corners a easier to work with the idea is to use curved points in the fiddle yards at the rear whilst hand made on the front.

... off list correspondence about laser cutting. He proposed a 'fix' and he will confirm that I suggested this be repeated on his forum 'as other folk were going down the laser road'. What inference do you make from that please Adrian? In truth, I am not that keen on lasering to Templot plans, as I feel it is unnecessary. ... 1930s. I understand from your topic on MRF forum that you are modelling the 1960s. Sleepers have a typical life of 25-30 years, so except in the goods yard on your plan it's unlikely (but not impossible) that any such 9ft-sleeper track would remain in the running lines and platforms. You could very reasonably use the 60ft ... . If you extend a copied template beyond that, you will need to widen the remaining joint sleepers (using the shove timbers functions). p.s.2. If you insert a turnout in this plain track, you will retain the lengths and spacings in any approach or exit track, but lose the widened joint sleepers. The solution to that is either to ...
... I will post the figures. The difference between a B-6 and B-7 would be negligible. Bear in mind of course that the speed limit through the straight road of even a B-6 could be quite high, but through the crossover road it could be as low as 5 MPH and certainly no more than 10 MPH. Regards ... if BH should be the same, greater or lower. The general consensus seems to be B8 minimum on passenger lines (C8 preferred if room), B7 or B6 on yard spurs and for station throats where speed limits are down to 15mph.

The turnouts at Cranmore on the East Somerset Railway still have GW old type switches in place.

... to the works siding so that this could not be reversed when the signals to enter or leave the station were pulled off, but you still need to protect the straight on road from the loop by a catch point, roughly opposite the beginning of the X crossing.

It's possible to add slip roads to an irregular diamond-crossing, but it would always be a special by the design office, where space constraints leave no choice. For example a cramped station throat, ... modelling the station in LMS or BR days. 4011f6671d6b633b028536d1d0260903.p ng This image I found, shows a Bedford TJ series? in the background.

I tried matching this, but it required a diamond-crossing of around 1:12, which seems very unlikely. I suspect it may in fact be a pair of turnouts toe-to-toe.

... several changes to it to make it work, the main one being that the two turnouts were set at differing radii so would not line up. The curvature of the inner road was very tight.

... capitalise on the 1:500 town plan to recreate Aberdare station at near scale scale size.

... that in a few places you have made diamond-crossings where the crossing angle differs between the two half-diamonds. That will produce a dog-leg in the diagonal road through the K-crossings.

You have used a mix of straight and REA semi-curved bullhead switches. For your prototype in the 1980s you ought really to be using flat-bottom turnouts for the running lines.
