... the curve. I can see that the turnout is positioned with its Deflection Point (DP) being aligned to the intersection of the straights' centre lines and that by making the turnout Generic, there is no entry straight into the V-crossing but the exit road would be the same curvature as the main road ie, straight. Hence I would expect that the curve would start at the tangential point to the FP- but no, it appears to be at the TEXITP. I assume then that the other end of ... 14 from: Martin Wynne For years I've intended to provide a quicker way to link between two existing templates. For some situations a full transition curve isn't needed, and a plain tangential boundary between two curves or a curve and straight is acceptable. For example within yards and depots. I've finally got round to doing something about it -- prompted by Richard's recent request for such an option in a loco shed. It will be in the next program update. I've made a quick scruffy video: http://flashbackconnect.com ...
... From what knowledge I have, I presume that there would be a bracket signal at the end of the platform. I presume this would have two main starter arms, one for each platform but would these give a route indication or would this be determined by the road that the signaler pulls off? In addition to this would each road require a subsidiary signal for shunting or would the main arm just be given? Moving down the line, on the main line there could be a section signal towards the end of the scenic ... ? As for arriving at the terminus, I presume there would be a home bracket signal outside the main point. I am unsure what arms and indication this would require as you can effectively access the loop, platform 1, bay platform and yard from the main line. Again, I presume there would need to be a subsidiary arm or ground signal for shunting or when the platforms are occupied? I don't think the branch at the top requires any signalling as it is not on the scenic part of the layout for long ...

... can be eased for a flexible switch by leaving the blade free to flex for a longer length than the prototype. *Where a switch occurs in a roadway the switch opening is sometimes reduced to 3" (still more than the flangeway) for the safety of road traffic and pedestrians, and additional drive connections may be needed to maintain the 2" clearance. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Nov 2007 18:57 from: rodney_hills Bruce, 0.68mm at 1:76.2 represents about 51.8mm full-size, ie 2.04 ... in crossovers. For the curved/curviform type of V-crossing, the turnout-road side is curved to a different radius from the main-road side, matching and continuing the actual turnout radius. Use this type of crossing where there is contraflexure in yards and sidings, and sometimes in curved double junctions. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Nov 2007 02:28 from: Keith Norgrove Martin Wynne wrote: I'm so weary of arguing this case time and again over the years that it makes me bad- ...
... I also agree, that the modellers version does look much more cleaner and tidier, and is much better on the eye, than a prototype version. Also it does offer, to the modeller, a much more stable setup, since it totally securely ties all roads together at the crossing centre.

... , but can we specify the rail length used to make up a turnout? The straight stockrails of the C9's I'm making a crossover from appear to arrive with a joint approximately along with the joint for the switches and another a scale 60' further along the exit road. What would the lengths of blank rail supplied to a P-way yard/manufacturer be? I know 30'/45'/60' is a common measurement for plain track panels, but in what lengths was fresh plain rail supplied? ( ... bonus points for saying P4exactoL Stores say 0.5m through the post or 1.0m at shows!) I'm trying to replicate an LNER 1930's spec crossover using the dimensions supplied by the NERA reproduction of the LNER P-way standards book. Templot turns out a respectable version of this with the timbers sized and shuffled about, but when I try to stitch it into plain track it gets complicated with overlaps. The prototype, though dead straight, is complicated by one road being in 30' panels and one in 45' panels. I've ...

Which should be more than adequate for all wheels. By reducing the opening to say 1.5mm (still a bit overscale) it would be possible to have both switches open at the same time -- e.g. when operated by hand levers in a yard. And also in some GWR interlockings. Admittedly it needs some careful fitting of the linked stretcher bars to get the desired openings -- but no-one chooses a double slip for their first attempt at trackbuilding. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Jan ...

... 22:45 from: Tony W Hello Simon. I have been having a look at your box file. Whilst I appreciate that yours is a minimum space project, some of your curves are very tight. Converting the Diamond into a Slip will produce a slip road with a radius of just under 24 inches. I have just tried it. A larger curve can be produced by using an outside slip, but there is not the room to fit one in at the current track spacing. There is though an alignment problem ... 60 x 18.2 inches. I have tried to create the micro layout in Templot and squeeze a quart into a pint pot! I have attached the box file from my first effort and to explain the rationale behind the design. The concept is a low level industrial yard with associated engineering works and warehouses (to provide suitable scenic blocks) all set against a main line traversing the scene on a viaduct. The low level design can also operate as a shunting problem using the headshunt (capacity loco+ 2 wagons) and the ...
... Brown Came across this plan: 528_111958_290000000.jpg If it's accurate then it's about 1520' long, or 20' in 4mm. So it would need a bit of reduction. If you operated it from the beach side then the carriage sidings might make access to the storage roads a bit awkward, but maybe OK. Looks like you could get width down to 3'6" or even less, with a bit of fiddling. The longest platform seems to be about 8' long so there's probably scope for reduction there. By the way ... Feb 2015 15:28 from: John Preston I have added the carriage sidings and made a mirror image for your perusal. I note your space is 16 feet long, As drawn this track configuration is almost 15 feet long- so no room for a fiddle yard. The only way to shorten is to further reduce the length of the station tracks. This is drawn in P4, if you wish to build in EM or OO the configuration has to be changed to eliminate the double slips and use ordinary turnouts instead, ...

I have been working a little on my branch layout with passing station and I am wondering if the left hand side points look right?

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, or a complex junction. It's very unlikely to find one in a goods yard. ... but quite likely circa 1890) so you may want to consult later plans if you intend modelling the station in LMS or BR days. 4011f6671d6b633b028536d1d0260903.p ng This image I found, shows a Bedford TJ series? in the background.

... way) (44.67mm centres) if there is significant curving because you need extra running clearance 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/ 17" overall.

The intention is to model the whole area of the map westwards of the road bridge. The ANDR operated the E-W double track from Penrhos junction to the footbridge and it is almost level. The RR operated a parallel double track that becomes a single line. This line is on a falling gradient of about 1:80 from ... I'd prefer 2m for the shortest siding.

... . 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 ... : 819 Half-scissors in P4 posted: 17 May 2009 16:44 from: philchudley Hi All I have made attempt at Templotting an outside single slip in P4, the .BOX for which is attached.
