141. Half-scissors in P4
... templates and create a gap in a rail: message 3967 regards, Martin. Attachment: attach_550_819_outslideslip.box 380 posted: 17 May 2009 18:35 from: Martin Wynne Borg-Rail wrote: Here is outside single slip in P4, may not be perfect but it was good enough to get the job done as you can see elsewhere on the Forum. Hi Phil, Stephen, Phil, your formation isn't actually an outside slip -- the usual meaning of a slip requires the rail to pass inside the diamond. The usual term for what you have there is a "half-scissors". The side road is completely clear of the diamond, and if there was a similar road on the other side it would be possible for both side roads to be occupied simultaneously. That isn't possible for a (double) outside slip, like this: double_outslip.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 18 May 2009 08:33 from: philchudley Thanks guys for the very prompt and informative feed back, thanks Martin for the clarification.

... -symmetrical by moving one of the crossovers in relation to the other, which re-arranges the positions of the crossing noses and can sometimes make the checking better. Jim. posted: 25 Feb 2011 17:36 from: geoff Jim, Thanks for your interest. I may well have to try that. Again. You don't know how many times I've been round the loop. My source is the OS1250 map from 1960. Better than nothing but the line thickness creates an uncertainty. I have a 480-scale LNWR drawing from the time when the trackage was widened from 2 to 4 running lines. My drawings show a carriage-shed with only 3 roads and a different path for the left to right path through this "scissors". At that stage their drawing shows an outside slip associated with the 1 in 4 diamond further up. This LNWR drawing I have must represent a stage in the development. When the shed requirement became 4-road the outside slip became unworkable and this "scissors" became the least bad solution. ...
... Andrew Barrowman Thanks Martin. I have the M1 dimensions. Just need to create the model. I'll need it in other places anyway. I would imagine the SP is just a bit shorter. That wouldn't be difficult. The prototype is slightly uncertain Probably BR Scottish Region. The three hole S1's probably exclude the GWR. Regards, Andy posted: 16 Jan 2018 05:42 from: Andrew Barrowman Another one Because of the overscale flangeways, the load bearing "vee's" in the K-crossings (is that the correct term?) in my single slip are barely supported on timbers. I could re-position the timbers to support the vee's properly, but the timber pitch will probably be out of spec and it's going to look a bit weird. I suspect this is where we have to use a bit of modelers license and fudge the vee support, but I'm open to suggestions. posted: 16 Jan 2018 08:37 from: Martin Wynne Andrew Barrowman wrote: Because of the overscale flangeways, the load bearing "vee's" in ...

The dummy vehicle was the option that my friend had mentioned, so he found that response useful as well, having lost it in the menus! I assumed that everything remained flat, in terms of levels, but I will probably take your advice on the centre line approach when printing templates off, just to aid the readability. Could you point me in the right direction re number 5 please? Using shift and snap works, but it's frustrating always having to click the button rather than just hitting the F key, so I assume there is another way of aligning adjacent track items?

... yard- this would reduce the track congestion on the up main (PL153-TL139-TR113-etc.) posted: 13 Nov 2018 15:06 from: John Palmer William Williamson wrote:... the issue was if TR173 (and the turnout below it- label blocked in my screenshot and I don't have templot at work unforutnately) were both set to the curved routes then stock could potentially physically hit each other. PL184 is the carriage road. Ah, well in that case I would definitely think in terms of lengthening the leads on TL186 and TR260 so as to reduce the end throw on vehicles passing over these connections, as I would expect that to ameliorate or even eliminate such a conflict. This may involve the toe of TL186 becoming repositioned adjacent to a platform face, which in turn could have implications for the signalling/locking of facing movements over these points. posted: 13 Nov 2018 15:28 from: Rob Manchester William's original RM post is here for anybody interested.

I have seen it used on one small O Scale standard gauge layout over at Bedford some years back, but I do not remember it having any cosmetic spikes or bolts/washers posted: 8 Feb 2018 12:53 from: Nigel Brown The term "light railways" arose from the Light Railways Act of 1896, which allowed railways to be built under an order of the Light Railways Commissioners rather than an act of parliament. The commissioners were able to relax certain conditions normally applied to railways, and to define corresponding restrictions, as they saw fit. A common one but by no means universal was the use of ungated level crossings. There was an enormous variety of what was allowed and what the restrictions were. Likewise track and permanent way could be anything from chaired ...
... topic: 3609 Turnout side or main side posted: 10 Feb 2020 17:51 from: ikcdab I get confused by these terms! It is obvious when the template is a turnout, but when the template is a plain piece of track, how do i know which is which?I ask because when i have a plain piece of track and i wish to double it, i never know whether to select TS or MS. At the moment i just guess and normally i get the opposite one. I did think it might be related to the peg position, but i have tried moving the peg to the other end of the plain track and TS is still the same side.... posted: 10 Feb 2020 18:39 from: Jim Guthrie On plain track there is a line across one end of the template just a bit longer than the sleepers. On one end of this line is a square box. That indicates the "M" side of the template. Martin will probably be along soon with full chapter ...

The messages from the Templot server are always quick to arrive, usually within 10 seconds. The Yahoo ones are 95% the same in terms of timing but the odd few can take anything from an hour to a whole day. Rob posted: 21 Feb 2020 21:57 from: Paul Boyd The only two emails I had were my original one, which arrived immediately, and those from Nigel Brown and Rob Manchester which also arrived very quickly.

153. Beginner needs help
... : Templot User Martin, May I congratulate you on the Templot system it is truly wonderful. I have been building my own points since the early 60s when we riveted brass pins into fibre strip purchased from George Mellor, and then we had the revelation of copper clad and how much easier did life get after that innovation. To be quite honest I am not of the computer generation- in fact I am to computing what King Herod was to babysitting and that fact is a total frustration. I have tried to come to terms with designing my own points and have watched the Templot tutorials till the early hours on many occasions but without much success. I have had some success designing simple points but my particular desire is to replace the 3-ways on my layout. I drew them up with pencil and paper and although they work they leave a lot to be desired. Do you run courses on basic Templot or do you know anybody who does? I read on this forum that it is possible to copy existing pointwork with a Templot design and ...
... learn here). I suspect that it is using UTF-8 on Linux too, but I don't actually know for certain. To conclude my overly long posting: as time allows I'm planning keep pootling along with my experimentation. Don't expect too much activity, but I will try to post here if I learn anything useful and/or make progress. However, as I'm just about to order some wagon kits, underframes, and other modelling components- I expect I'll be rather distracted from my coding adventures in the short term future. But at some point I will want to plan a layout and build some track for it, at which point having Templot working on Linux would probably quite useful. posted: 14 May 2020 12:10 from: Graeme Andrew Hunt wrote: For PDF exports, I'm hoping Graeme's work will help- and I'm looking forward to seeing it Hmmmmm- did I say "a day or two"???

... to use a tandem. I built a layout of Dursley in the 1980s which had the three-way in the yard as in the prototype, and that turnout provided all manner of problems over the years. It could have been the same on the prototype since the LMS re-built the station throat to remove the three-way around the start of WW2. I actually obtained an excellent picture of the station before this rebuild which featured a PWay gang working on the switches. :-) If I keep using the term "tandem" the member may be persuaded to accept that. :-) Jim. posted: 2 Feb 2020 13:23 from: Jim Guthrie I've just dug out my 1963 Constructors and there was one high angle view of the station aqnd yard which I hadn't seen before, but there was also a short goods train right on top of the "slip" closest to the throat which covered all the detail of what was there. There wasn't enough detail on the more distant "slip" to show what might ...
... if possible building track as a result of the templot plan. I was wondering, if anyone of this parish might be interested in making the following plan 'finished' (in the sense that the geometry works, the timbers are in the right positions, etc.), for a payment to a worthy charity (macmillan, a locomotive trust/heritage railway, the royal british legion, etc.)? This is the plan: http://i.imgur.com/rJBYDAh.png Box file is attached. I am happy to discuss terms and/or the specifics of what I'd like, but it roughly pans out to: Properly aligning the track/timbers so it can be used as templates for laying track (though I think I'm mostly fine with my angles, I have no idea about how to do this 'properly') Maintaining a minimum radius of 24" using B-type 1:6 and 1:7 geometry.

... topic: 3613 comments please on my new OO "final" layout posted: 16 Feb 2020 22:20 from: ikcdab All, so here we are. I remember reading many years ago of someone building layout called something like "my last great layout" and I marveled at the time about the finality. But now I find myself doing the same thing. I am to build a new shed, 7.5m x 4.5m in our garden. In this will build my best OO layout yet. In simple terms it is a double track oval with two branches, one double track to a reasonable sized station, the other single track to a simpler one. It will be based on BR(S) practice in the 1960s ..ish. I am not a novice and have been building railway models for many years. In the last few years I have built two end-to-end terminus to fiddle yard layouts. Both used templot and the track was built with SMP for plain line and copper clad soldered bullhead pointwork. I am very ...
158. 'Slewing' curves
... topic: 3198 'Slewing' curves posted: 26 Jan 2018 16:52 from: johndon Apologies in advance if slewing isn't the correct term but I'm gradually getting to grips with Templot and have a question about the following plan: 2828_261151_010000000.png Based on the map, it appears that the track needs to be 'dragged down' in the centre to conform with the plan but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this? John posted: 26 Jan 2018 17:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, For that you need the swell mouse action. 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: http://templot.com/companion/link_existing.php That keeps everything aligned, whereas swell takes the ends of the template out of ...

I will post details if I have any further information. He sells gauges for skinny and 'scale' head widths for use on plain track giving 1in20 tilt to the rails and S&C gauges that just use the gauge face so are universal in terms of head width.
