... very attractive cosy little coach! Andrew posted: 21 Dec 2020 22:00 from: Rob Manchester Hi Nigel, Nice little coach- agree with Andrew. Does the lack of a central pivot mean the "bogies" are actually radial trucks as used by the LNWR and Metropolitan for example. I assume they have a side control mechanism that allows them to move laterally into a curve. Must check my sources- I feel I should know this Rob posted: 21 Dec 2020 22:53 from: Matt M. HI ... you have operated the layout you will know what I mean by that. Controller D is permanently connected to this. Ex is short for extra and is unused at present. The three switch poles on section feeds 1- 12 are individual relay contacts. The long term plan was for micro processor control of the signal box interlocking and power feeds to sections 1 to 12 will be selected using 2 bit binary control, hence only one relay contact can be made at a time with "00" being off. At present, ...

But a growing number of us involved want to move the research on and stop people having to crawl through disparate collections, (if they know of these collections existence), basically re ...

There is really no limit to this -- a library of LBSCR ground signals or one of LNWR drain covers? For modellers of the modern scene we could have TPWS grids, concrete cable troughs, equipment cabinets, etc. Of course, it needs someone to draw all this stuff! regards, Martin. posted: 24 Sep 2010 13:01 from ... was quite good for drawings of buildings, and have copied some of them for future use.

... to sit on an ordinary sleeper. Like I said, we Scots are mean! Allan F posted: 24 Mar 2014 01:39 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Allan, Thanks for the input. I tend to base most of my statements with reference to the LNWR company, although the Midland was quite similar in approach. The LNWR appeared to use 9ft standard lengths from the very first, though I cannot say the same about the widths, as in the very early days, and pre LNWR, such as the L ... say, the system most commonly used for modellers who want overall stability and are not necessarily tied to prototype. What I mean by that is, that the whole format is well tied together with many of the timbers being totally across the width. Now in general terms, prototypes would not use so many long timbers as they were very expensive, so where possible, standard 8.5 ft or 9 ft (depending on the period and company being modelled) would be used, with further increments in sizes (length) as required ...
... 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. ... is set up? Second question, is your primary interest in building the thing or in running it once its built? And are you interested in exhibiting it? If you are interested in exhibiting it, and home running isn't the major aim, perhaps thinking in terms of just assembling bits of it at home for working on and testing purposes might be the way to go. Third question, do you have anywhere else you could assemble it, e.g. loft or garage? Think it boils down to what you really want ...

Richard Jones for the table of rail codes.

... Bullhead rail on stone blocks posted: 15 Apr 2016 09:15 from: LSWRArt On a Railway History course, Dr. David Amos of Nottingham University showed the enclosed photograph of bullhead rail on stone sleepers at Over& Wharton (Winsford, Cheshire) on the LNWR. 2201_150413_300000000.jpg David thought that the bullhead rail had been laid in place of old tramway track, on stone blocks which originally supported fishbelly rail. But when I started to research this it appeared there was no tramway at this location. A local historian (Tony ... firmly fixed, the rail head was still usable and transported to were it could be reused. Given the obstructions across the track further back towards the lead I also don't think they are that worried about burying the tie bars, (gauge bars if you prefer that term). They could always rebury it to rail top height like it was originally, and many yards were. Most fixings are designed to be easily got to. And it is much simpler to run tie bars from rail to rail or chair to chair. ...

Having started an N gauge layout based on Lichfield/Tamworth which as numerous "features" (ok, flaws) and subsequently seeing Castle Hill at Wakefield, it was inspiring to see a nice scenic 30' long 2mm layout.

... topic: 1126 Coding in progress... posted: 18 May 2010 18:50 from: Martin Wynne Most of this topic is obsolete. Irregular diamond-crossings are now fully supported in Templot2. Check rails are adjustable by mouse action in Templot2. I thought I would start a topic where I can report occasionally about what I'm currently working on in Templot. Comments and suggestions welcome, but don't leave it too long or I may have moved on to something else. I'm minded to stop using the term "irregular" diamond-crossing because it has the potential to be confused with an error condition. Instead I'm thinking of calling them "curviform" diamond-crossings. We can't simply call them "curved" because of course a regular diamond-crossing can be curved.

... I think you may have given me a possible solution by increasing the width of these timbers, and then moving both timbers in opposite directions plus some twist in opposite directions allowing the chairs to be fixed slightly off centre of the timbers, this may give me the clearance I need, hopefully without causing any bad language on gapping. As a matter of interest Phil, in your experience, what is the maximum timber width that has been used, bearing in mind that my layout is based on pre-grouping era (1921 LNWR& MR practices)? Also still on this subject, what would be the practical maximum length of timbers? I'm sure I have seen reference somewhere, to timbers being 28 foot length, but would hate to be the guy that handles them. Anyhow, many thanks again Phil for the information.

Sintered nylon on the left, "Frosted Ultra Detail" resin on the right. (Both sprayed with dark brown camouflage paint.) 2983_151719_200000000.jpg No contest in terms of appearance, but the resin is rather brittle. I also need to change the jaws to support the rail a bit better. More protos will be required. Next is the latest in PLA on my own printer.

... to appropriately suite the crossing angle at that point (angles in access of or less than, as the case may be). I think it fair for me to say, that this particularly occurs, when one uses F5 (or F9 as in the TDV) to change the crossing angle/length (length not locked) of a turnout, thereby crossing the boundaries of the crossing angle range (or limit) for any given Size value. I have also attached a PDF file which contains a table form list of LNWR Pt Way Crossings details of items (a ), (b.)& (c.) mentioned above, for all the various crossing angles that the LNWR apparently commonly used. Now if you compare my compiled PDF file table against the image tables Figures 2& 3, there are discrepancies at which points the changes in lengths occur. I have colour coded the PDF table columns to clearly show where these change points in crossing angle are. Question 3. Is there anyway I can change the crossing angle decision points ...

... people's minds because it is not intuitive to the way they have always done it, i.e. pieces of Hornby second radius curves and right hand points (I know, turnouts). Even when we first had templates (Hamblings, from memory, may have been ERG) they were for a specific piece of track or pointwork. Plugging pieces of standard track together is not the way the real thing is done (even 60 panels of plain track!). The secret that unlocked Templot for me was to think not in terms of templates but in terms of the whole track layout. After all, a turnout is actually a nuisance, only there to be able to run more than one train or go somewhere else other than A to B. If newcomers to Templot think in terms of the line of route, then a) they would get the hang of transition curves a lot sooner and b) realise that you design the turnout to fit a specific need. Everything else, for me, drops into place. Of course, I need ...

... turnout template (in the TDV). This shows the heel line mark as being between the S6& S7 timbers, where as the switch rail break line is shown between the S7& S8 timbers (this is the same as in your picture of the turnout in your reply above). Now I was under the impression, that the switch rail break was the heel point, except of course for flexible switches. The heel being at the switch rail break point, is shown on most, if not all, the LNWR Pt Way drawings I have on turnouts. Now what has happened in Templot about the heel marks, why the difference between the rail break and the mark line? Or am I missing something?

... environment and infrastructure and it would have been very arduous to continually export track plans into Autocad, add buildings, find it did not fit or look right, go back to Templot for modification.... it appears from my experience and from other members' comments that we are all finding the new software reliable, so I hope that you will now freeze the development and concentrate your efforts on documentation. Ideally this would have a beginners section giving the basics of turnout construction (real and model), a glossary of terms and showing how to start in Templot and do some basic track design. This section could also have links to useful 3rd party information, like the S4 point drawings and some of the photo tutorials of people making a model point. I think all of this exists, although some of it needs updating to v2. Next I think it would be great to have an index listing all the available tutorials or videos with links to the actual information. So, if I decide I need to add a catch point to my ...
... 9'. As such I will relocate the upper station as shown as the high level track at the bottom of the layout. This will be moved 12" down to sit right on top of the lower tracks. This will compensate for the loss of 12" in the layout in a North/ South direction and thus maintain original gradients. The 6" loss over 12' I don't see as a big deal at all and it should have little impact on the overall project. Also I am compressing things slightly in terms of width of the alyout around the room, limiting my design to 24" maximum as seen in the East and West sections of the layout. This impacts on the sidings where the goods shed is shon in the North but little overall impact. The South area as mentioned will now be only 12" wide as the station will be moved down as discussed. posted: 24 Jun 2008 04:15 from: Nigel Brown Hi Paul I think you'll get problems with gradients if you do as you suggest and have the ...
