I would be most grateful for the scans as my local, French, library is unlikely to have the book! Brian, There are some cheap copies of the book in Amazon( .co.uk) market place at £1.89 and with postage to France of £3.75 it would be only £5.64. Just an idea. Also, I tried the link for the jpg and the zip files but the links don't work for me, are they still there or have you removed them? Finally, as with several CJF plans although a good concept (I looked at a 3 level version of this plan) you do have to watch the gradients as you sometimes end up with "train set" gradients. (Think up and over figure of eight). Regards, Peter posted: 23 Oct 2007 18:52 from: Jim Guthrie Peter Ayre wrote: BTuckey wrote: Thanks for the ...

Where is the sense in publishing a web site which I can barely read?

If you copy, you can paste it into your usual graphics editor program and then save the file for use in a picture shape. If you extract it, you can save the file directly from Nitro Reader, preferably in PNG format (please not the default JPG format). For TDV you can use an extracted PNG file directly as a picture shape. For Templot version 091c you need to open the file or paste the image into your graphics editor program, and then save in BMP format for the picture shape. You know the scale of the map, so with a bit of trial and error in the picture shape dialog you should be able to find the scanned dpi to create the picture shape at the correct scaled size. It is probably either 300dpi or 600dpi. regards ...
... turnout the proper length. According to the 1979 drawing the lead should be 77' 4 3/4"= 147.44mm in N scale. However, using the switch settings from the drawing and trying to change the v crossing entry straight to get the proper lead lenght fails. 131,23mm is as far as it will go. Thats off a bit, could it be my heel spread thats to large? Seing as thats the only figure I didnt take from the drawing? Regards /Leo posted: 28 Oct 2011 05:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Leo, I'm sorry, I didn't read your earlier message fully. There is indeed a limit of 42 timbers -- between the switch toe and the heel of the switch. The mistake you have made is to go on entering the turnout timber centres as part of the switch. The intention is that the switch finishes at the first timber beyond the rail joints, or beyond the last of the block chairs/fixings. Within a switch the fixings have to be at fixed centres ...

I've been trying to design something similar but with the inside curve on a more consistent radius. posted: 13 Oct 2017 17:23 from: Rob Manchester Hi Ian, It is a double track mainline with a double lead junction to the branch that soon becomes single track. It doesn't offer any real advantage over a single lead junction except that it can protect a train coming off the branch from a head-on collision with a train that overruns a signal (SPAD)travelling from the bottom of the picture. Rob posted: 13 Oct 2017 17:49 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ian, I don't know a specific name, but it needs one. It's not an ordinary double-junction because the branch tracks are converging and do not need to maintain a ...

I'm happy with that. posted: 29 Dec 2013 10:01 from: Alan Turner MaxSouthOz ...

... it. I suspect that you might be able to lay the approach throat round a curve a bit easier than with the later plan with the slips. I've also dug through all my Modellers up to 1977, but haven't found mention of the later version so maybe CJF modified it solely for use in the 1989 plan book mentioned. CJF left the Modeller early in 1978 (a cataclysmic event, IIRC), so I doubt there is much point searching for more plans in later editions.

Indeed it is Jim and it has its own benefits but I think that I still prefer the later design. I am not sure that the 'kinks' in the platform ends work so well. However, the design raises a conundrum that I have often thought about. The head of the platforms has a wealth of ...

I do want to learn to use Templot but like many I'm having difficult getting to grips with it. if there is no file or pic it is because I am trying to add them.

... upgrade to Crossover v20, I have ditched Crossover completely, and installed Templot on my wife's PC which she rarely uses. I no longer travel for work so the ability to run Templot on my Mac is no longer relevant. If you have to use a Mac then you'll probably need to shell out for the Crossover uprade but it is probably a cheaper long-term option to get hold of a s/h PC with a decent size of screen and install Templot on that. Dave posted: 6 Dec 2020 22:05 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Dave, That's bad news for Roy and other CrossOver users on a Mac. A quick look at the CrossOver forums suggest that even the version 20 upgrade is having problems with Big Sur on a Mac. Is there any way they can get access to their Templot files, even tough Templot itself won't run? If Roy's Mac has updated itself automatically, is there a way to revert it? I have frequently suggested that the best place to save your files when using CrossOver is on a USB ...

Certainly worth thinking about. I'd suggest start by working out what you want for your maximum length of train, which would tell you how much space you need for storage sidings (cassettes or a traverser might be worth thinking about to save space) and should also tell how long your platforms need to be. Add a bit for the turntable and add all that up and it should tell you how much space you have left for the station throat. Nigel posted: 12 Feb 2015 01 ...
