... that. It seems strange that they are back-to-back instead of toe-to-toe. It means the controls, ownership and maintenance overlap. Also in the event that one of them is used in anger, the other one gets wrecked. Am I missing something obvious? Martin. posted: 23 Mar 2014 12:45 from: Phil O Hi Martin The ones on the ESR were locked together and it required both tokens to unlock the frame. The BR/NR used to come by road from Westbury and was given to the driver at Whites Crossing the exit junction from Yeomans Quarry ours was walked down from Cranmore West when incoming specials were arriving.

... S That's great, Martin. I meant to post a pic on here for those that have been following this thread. Please note this is only a mock up and not the finished article. I'm still playing around with a few ideas, but at least you can see it's all turned out fairly well. 479_220938_160000000.jpg 479_220940_110000000.jpg Last edited on 22 Jul 2020 14:41 by Gordon S posted: 22 Jul 2020 16:10 from: Phil O Hi Gordon, The full size mimics that I have seen at Waterloo 1970 and Westbury around 20 years ago, only had the route illuminated, so were only white. I think the Waterloo ones were probably bulbs, whereas Westbury was probably LEDs. Nice work though and you can see which way the turnouts are thrown which is the main aim of the job. Will you be adding additional LEDs to show that the signals are set, which extinguish as the train passes and they return to red? Cheers Phil. posted: 22 Jul 2020 16:21 from: Gordon S Thanks Phil. That's one ...
... -111738_Facebook.jpg 38 posted: 13 Aug 2020 11:38 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ian, The turnout rail is ramped up to carry the wheel over the top of the running rail. The check rail ensures that it is pulled fully over it. Your photo shows GWR Type E catch points. The turnout rail chairs are raised with timber packings and terminate with a block of oak, 1.1/2" above the running rail. Here is a similar set of FB catch points at Castle Cary: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _02.jpg Wikimedia Creative Commons You can see the two-level baseplates under the rising turnout rail. In this case the check rail is extended beyond the end of the running rail. There is a whole chapter on GWR Catch Points in David Smith's GWR track book. Photo also shows the interwoven timbering and a skewed long timber on the turnout exit. Also modern Pandrol clips on the siding, but older spike fixings still on the running line cheers, Martin. posted: 13 Aug 2020 11:55 from: ikcdab Martin Wynne ...
4. Catch points
... topic: 179 Catch points posted: 28 Sep 2007 03:46 from: Martin Wynne There has been an interesting discussion about catch* points on RMweb: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t =8908 with some interesting pictures. Here are a couple more: 800px-DerailPoint_JRH-Chokubetsu.jpg Nemuro Main Line, JR Hokkaido. This is a set of catch* points at Castle Cary: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _02.jpg You can see the two-level baseplates under the rising turnout rail, and also the inner rail stops short of an extended check rail -- as in the GWR design which I posted earlier. The photographer obviously felt brave enough to go up on the footbridge! Notice some timber shoving in the foreground. Here's another pic of the same: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _01.jpg *Templot is about track so we'll use the traditional p.w. term "catch points". Nowadays the S&T dept. and the rule book call these "trap" points -- trailing "catch" points are the ones ...
... 1000+ ton stone train Yeomans Quarry at Merehead in Somerset will be having an open weekend in June details will be confirmed later. Can you let me know as soon as the date for this is confirmed as I had the good fortune to work at Both Merehead and Whatley Quarries for 6 months when I used to work for EWS. Cheers Bob Lawrence posted: 1 Apr 2008 21:45 from: Phil O Hi All Merehead Quarry open weekend is confirmed as 21st and 22nd June. There will be a shuttle service between Westbury and Cranmore 10 trains each way (I believe, subject to pathing) on both days. There will be a 9F and a 57xx confirmed plus a Castle and King so far unconfirmed plus a number of diesels at present no further details. Please keep an eye on the East Somerset Railway web site for further updates. http://www.eastsomersetrailway.com or updates on here when I get further info. Tickets will be available in advance from the railway. Plus you will be able to wander around some of the track work ...
... was to use 12' straight switches rather than the 15' ones on the trace, so I left out one of the slide chair sleepers. The URL shown for the original in NAS looks interesting but I suspect that this might have been the only Caledonian drawing contained in that list since it was the CRA doing a search. (A minute or two later) I find that I am the source for the drawing on the OldPWay site. http://oldpway.info/drawings/CalR_ilace_ctchpnt_12ft_1in10.pdf Jim.

I honestly missed the link to the drawing on old pway even though I've scoured the web for info. I will print it off tomorrow and then look to import it to Templot and design over it as suggested by Martin. As a matter of interest what radius are you using at the end of your checkrails? Regards and many thanks Mike posted ...
... topic: 508 Importing DXF files into 3PI posted: 31 Jul 2008 09:00 from: pimin Unfortunately the Templot diagrams cannot be imported as actual track into 3PI. I can get the DXF file imported but, I get a bunch of strange vertical rails (sticking out of the template). What's up with this??? Where did I go wrong? I've attached the DXF file.

Can anyone direct me to a 32mm gauge TEMPLOT file I might use as a starting point, please?

... network. *done by inserting packing blocks under the baseplates. Here's another view of that. Notice that the check rail is similarly ramped up, and extends beyond the end of the running rail -- not something seen often. See also that someone has been doing some timber shoving in the foreground -- the timber is skewed out of square: 2_290349_240000000.jpg From Wikimedia Creative Commons -- more pics: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Catch_and_trap_points CC BY-SA 4.0 File:Castle Cary catch points- 02.jpg Uploaded by Thryduulf Created: 6 September 2006 regards, Martin. posted: 29 Sep 2015 09:09 from: rynd2it Thanks Matrin- that picture is worth a thousand words.

I can also apply it to existing turnouts without messing up my laboriously shoved interlaced sleepers. 25_051800_110000000.png Jim.
