However, on the adjacent Down Main, no such trap was provided- the "protection" of the adjacent running lines being by mean of three detonators worked from lever 110!!!

... topic: 2793 extend/shorten to meet background template posted: 26 Nov 2015 11:05 from: Martin Wynne I'm working on a new extend/shorten to meet function, primarily as an aid to using the make transition functions. The intention is that the original templates can be automatically adjusted for length to fit the new transition template. This will avoid the tedious business of zooming in to do that manually. Likewise when adjusting the underlying templates after make diamond-crossing at intersection. The new function will also be useful in other circumstances where the position of a template boundary needs to be moved, for example to enable a turnout to be inserted. Or where a gap or overlap needs to be eliminated, for example before using the roll rails to match function. At present such tasks have to be done manually. It is working quite well (within sensible limits). But I'm uncertain how much misalignment to allow before reporting an error in the original template alignments. In the process I have produced this alert dialog: 2_260617_500000000.png I'm aware ...

The check rails are not very prominent in the picture because they are rusty. The wider rails at the side of the track are conductor rails for electric trains. A "regular" diamond-crossing means that all 4 crossings (2 V-crossings and 2 K-crossings) have the same angle. To make one of these in Templot, start with a straight turnout and click ...

The make transition function creates the transition alignment for you, but leaves to you the task of adjusting the template boundaries to whatever you want. Quite often the initial templates are simply dummy templates to be deleted after the transition template has been extended to replace them, as in this Jing video: http://screencast.com/t /bcL6Uu2uKtM Then you can perhaps insert a turnout in it, roam it to where you want it, and split ...
... What is the best way to align two roads when they are coming from points at opposite ends of loops? Minimum radius is 4 ft (1220mm), but I would use a larger radius or an intervening straight on any reverse curves. I am wondering if the first point on the RHS loops would be better as a Y, which I think is 1838mm radius left and right from the centre line? Any comments or suggestions?

As far as I can recall Templot's DXF output is in a wireframe format (awaits correction by Martin...) and does not contain any chair information whatsoever. To translate the DXF into something suitable for 3d printing you would have to convert the wireframes describing the sleepers and timbers into surface models or solid models and then add the 3D-chairs which ...

Crossovers in transition curves do often require a bit of fiddling about to get the best result. The good news however, is that this isn't one. It is entirely contained within the fixed-radius sections outside the transition zones. So you can simply split it off from the transition curves and make an ordinary curved crossover. I will make you a bit of video shortly, showing that. The inside radius on TL089 is showing as 677mm/ 26.7" ...

There are lots of programs which can convert a TIFF file to one of those formats. For example Microsoft Paint which is already on your system. Just type Paint in the Windows search box to find it. Open the TIFF file in Paint, and then immediately Save it again in one of the above formats. To retain the crisp detail, the PNG format is best. (Don't use BMP because the file size will be enormous from a hi-res TIFF scan and may crash you ...
