My interest is watching trains move at scale speeds with representative formations.

Before you began handbuilding you sent me some scans of your existing 00 pointwork, which I matched for you in Templot. The straight turnouts were a good match to A-7, and the diamonds matched 1:7 too. The curved turnout was near a C-10, but not such a good ...

Oldfield Dear all, Here is the design of the fiddle yard on our P4 layout, Mostyn, as it will shortly become following two minor modifications:- the introduction of road 17 as a loop from road 16- the introduction of a trailing siding from road 16 for the storage of light engines I'm afraid that not all of the scenic section of ... topic: 236 Mostyn: Fiddle Yard design posted: 15 Nov 2007 21:18 from: Richard Oldfield Dear all, Here is the design of the fiddle yard on our P4 layout, Mostyn, as it will shortly become following two minor modifications:- the introduction of road 17 as a loop from road 16- the introduction of a trailing ... where the dock branch joins the fiddle yard and we will re-position this to lead into the new fiddle yard. We're not too worried about the need for high speed turnouts- in our experience, as long as we keep within the 1200 minimum radius constraint, then trains will happily run at way over maximum line speed.

... chairs. The P slide chairs are always aligned to the stock rail, whereas the 1PL, 1PR, etc., block chairs are always square-on to the main road. The first two of those are shorter, because they have no inner jaw. The remaining block chairs have a full inner key jaw. As you can see, chairs ... . If it is say 5 thou thick, that's 0.13mm x 2mm= 0.26mm^2.

... Apr 2008 23:12 from: Stewart McSporran Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply. I can see how the timber ends in line helps with the sleepers along the main road but I'm afraid that I don't see how it helps for the timbers in the turnout road. They still need to be thrown. I did try throwing them by the difference ... until something breaks. If something was being laid as a sleepered lead at Blackford in the 1970s it was undoubtedly secondhand.

... : Tony W Hi David. A regular diamond, by definition, has all the crossings at the same angle. It may be straight or curved, but if curved both roads will have the same radius. Irregular diamonds have roads of differing radii or one straight and one curved, hence the crossing angles get progressively sharper through the diamond as the roads ... on what specification for the Turnout Switch/ Crossings I should be using so thanks for that.

... between the tracks. You can ease the radius by changing from a regular-type V-crossing to generic. But this makes a more abrupt reverse curve over the crossover road. A nice short turnout would be a 10ft GWR curved switch with 1:5.5 crossing angle. This makes 840mm/ 33" radius, and a compact crossover in 433mm ... Martin, what turnout would you recommend to keep inside 00-SF min radius, but gave the most compact crossovers That depends whether it is straight or curved, in a yard or a main running line, strictly prototypical or allowing model compromises?

Curviform ladders are comprised of curviform diamond-crossings, and are often used to form running-line double-junctions, and to gain access across running lines to goods yards, engine sheds and industrial sidings.
