... O Hi Martin I'm not to sure what is going on, but all the "l's" that's" ell's" not capital "I's" which are not affected, are showing up in green tinge on my screen, this is only on the Templot forum all other forums and web pages are ok.

182. Gaunt turnouts
... topic: 2571 Gaunt turnouts posted: 8 Nov 2014 05:47 from: Martin Wynne Pictures of gaunt turnouts don't come up very often -- this one was posted on RMweb recently: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/92091-some-very-fundamental-questions/#entry1649022 Thanks to Jonathan. Here are some cab views of the gauntletted bullhead track on the Boyne viaduct at Drogheda in Ireland. When this bridge was rebuilt in the 1930s it was no longer wide enough for the original double tracks, so they were gauntletted together. I took these pictures on 5th September 1986. The track on the bridge is now ordinary flat-bottom single track for the sake of using standard modern equipment. 2_080030_460000000.jpg© Martin Wynne 2_080030_460000001.jpg© Martin Wynne 2_080030_460000002.jpg© Martin Wynne Gauntletted track is quite a rare beast. The main reason for including gaunt turnouts in Templot is because they come in very handy as a source of partial templates in complex formations.

Thanks will tidy it up the best I can. Many thanks again John posted: 4 Oct 2016 05:52 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: Thanks very much, never knew there was such a thing as a half scissors. Hi John, An important distinction between a scissors and a double-slip is in the interlocking. In a scissors both side roads can be signalled to be used at the same time. In a double-slip they can't, whether it is an inside slip or an outside slip. That's not relevant for a single-slip or half-scissors, but the geometry is the same ...
... from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I find it easier when doing a plan over a map of a prototype trackplan to set the timbering to no timbering, it's just so much of a pain to switch it back on for each and every template when I'm done. Is it possible for either a Group or Global option to restore it? posted: 15 Sep 2016 09:42 from: richard_t You could turn off the timber outlines in the generator menu and then rebuild all background.

Small changes can make a big difference in a situation such as this.

I can imagine you banging your head against the literal wall when it comes to people like me trying to plot the entire British Rail network at their first ever go at Templot!

... do the two half-diamonds come from? Hi Steve, It's over 6 years since I did that design, so you will have to give me a while to re-familiarise myself with what I did there. Also I have to consider whether subsequent new features in Templot2 mean there are now easier ways to arrive at the same result. Certainly the ability to adjust the check rails by mouse action will make a big difference. I will write again soon. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Feb 2014 11:05 from: Steve Bedding Hi Martin, Sorry to bother you with this, but have you had a chance to look back over the old design for the Peg positioning and the K-crossing elements?

... the plan in Sketchboard, as it will not show partial templates in diagram mode. Is all you need to do is bring the turnouts back onto the trackpad background for Sketcboard and it will show the track-plan diagram correctly, don't forget to take then out again (I recommend not deleting them), when you need to print templates. The third is a guide curve for the tandem main road, just in case you or I need it.

... want to shove (not the timber itself). 3. Click in the twist readout box, and then enter 0 (zero) on the dialog which appears. Repeat for as many other timbers as you wish to adjust. Or depending on the alignment of the turnout you may want to enter some other angle, say 1.5 degrees, for all the timbers. If you set them all to the same angle they will all be parallel (after clicking the button). regards, Martin. posted: 28 Oct 2015 05:55 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you, forgot to press the divide symbol posted: 28 Oct 2015 18:19 from: Martin Wynne Hello again John, My apologies. I forgot to mention that now in Templot2 a convenient way to represent a symmetrical Y-turnout is to use an irregular half-diamond template instead of a turnout template. This one hasn't needed any timber shoving: 2_281255_030000000.png The V-crossing angle (curviform) is 1:6. I set the K-crossing angle to 1: ...

... topic: 2756 Parallel Vees- how do I go from here? posted: 10 Oct 2015 21:05 from: Jubilee42 I'm trying to use Templot to design my layout. I've cheated a bit by roughing it out in AnyRail, but without any proper turnouts, which I am planning on building myself. I've spent 6 or 7 hours with Templot and gone forwards and backwards in equal measure. I can see the potential, it's just utterly unlike any program I've used before! Anyway, I've found a really useful function to create turnouts with parallel exits- brilliant!! But I want to put another turnout on the turnout side,and it won't let me, because of the Vee I've used. can anyone give me a shove in the right direction?

... suggestion as to what "gauge" to set the 3rd rail too, it's a Southern Region layout. Hi Phil, All the dimensions are here: http://www.clag.org.uk/3rd-4th.html For 00 it is going to be tricky. You need to know the position of the collector shoes relative to the bogie sideframes and wheels for the 00 models. You may find that the usual 8ft sleepers for 00 are not long enough to support the conductor rails. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2017 15:05 from: Phil O Thanks Martin, I will ask the club member to measure up his stock and see where we are. Longer sleepers and timbering won't be a problem, I think there may need to be a compromise between the prototype 1ft 4ins and 00 track as the rail gaps will look a bit daft.

... provide an overall track diagram? Just from the look of things, the second variant does not look at all "right" to me as the reverse curve in the road crossing from bottom left looks very untidy compared to the nice smooth flow in the full scissors variant. For me, the original track formation always looked very contrived whereas by comparison, John's scissors solution looks quite natural- assuming that is that all these connections are actually justified by the traffic! Best wishes, Howard. posted: 13 May 2014 19:05 from: Dave M Hi Howard, The area including the scissors crossover will be as part of a goods run round loop behind the up (uppermost) platform on Tor Giffard. Principle purpose of this runround loop is to allow freight arriving from the bottom left direction to depart in the top left direction (from the Plymouth direction and towards the Barnstaple/Fremington direction) and vice versa. Also, in the up direction the line nearer the platform can double as a goods loop. However, the operational requirements can still ...

Then you weigh up all the pros and cons, for example see this topic: topic 2415- message 16321 and then you decide on 0-MF. It's true that 0-SF would give you slightly better results and appearance, but with the restriction of using Slaters wheels only. So you would not be able to run 0 gauge models with other or older wheels. And you would need to make your own gauge tools for 0-SF, whereas gauges for 0-MF are available from Debs (and also I believe from Roxey Mouldings): topic 1811 If you adopt 0- ...
