The turnouts are based on a tracing of a Caledonian drawing which I got from a member of the Caledonian Railway Association.25_061004_300000000.jp g The radii are quite tight for S scale so the crossing angles are quite acute being 1:12 and 1:16.

... &L crossings to be curved? My fear is that I do not have the tools, or the experience to create my own crossings at the moment, but might stand a better chance of modifying the crossing. What are peoples experiences with using plastic sleepers and chairs when creating templates from templot, vs copper-clad? Any other advice or comments for using C&L components in Templot templates would be appreciated.

You can see that it has worked out fine with the dimensions 213mm x 140mm correctly set: 2_091701_060000000.gif I'm a bit puzzled by the texture between the rails and no rail fixings visible. For a girder underbridge this would usually be rails chaired on waybeams with the metalwork visible, or else ballasted on a deckpan with sleepers visible. Is this old-style ballasting over the sleeper tops? For incremental span lengths I don't think there is a prototypical figure. Bridges tend to be designed to fit each ... PDF, TIFF. However, it would seem the requirement is for GIF format, so that's what will be provided. Hi Brian, Thanks for your further thoughts. Sketchboard can add bitmap items in any of these file formats: BMP, GIF, PNG, JPG, HCK. It is important for non-rectangular objects that the background can be made transparent. Otherwise such objects would be displayed on a rectangular image patch. This means that only GIF and PNG are the real options, and sketchboard supports transparent backgrounds for ...

... the roundabouts one gains on the swings... It's only a bit of hassle to change to 9'. A similar sort of question. As I understand it, the GWR "default minimum" length for check rails on simple turnouts was based on 4 chairs, not the Templot default of 5. Was wondering if it would be possible if a user selected say one of the GWR switches to change the default to 4. Could avoid GWR turmouts being built with 5-chair check rails by mistake. Just a ... bitmap) or in vector format (metafile). The latter provides much improved zooming and printout. It also provides an EMF file in passing, which can be opened in most photo editor programs, and then re-saved in GIF or PNG format (or JPG if you must).

... sit in a darkened room with a large glass of something to master Templot. Slightly off-topic, is there a way of making a jig for crossings? I'm a bit nervous of lining everything up by eye, especially when using the Scaleway plastic sleepers and chairs.

I can sum it up in three words: "does it matter?". To 95% of users, does it matter that what is stored is raw data, and not a complete template, as an image like a jpg would be? I suspect, and contest, that it does not. What matters is that they know what they have saved (or copied, or deleted) and they know that they can get it back again. Whether that "image" is stored ...

... slight curve, and also the turnout worked best as a B-6.75. I have bought jigs from scalefour, but they only do the whole numbers. I am hoping I can file a size 7 and then file it to fit. It's not that I am really concerned about- no doubt I will be when I make it! The questions I'd most like help with are these: 1. Is the pcb/plywood construction combo in any way sensible? I've arrived at it because with plywood I can use proper chairs but with pcb under the vee I can fix this solidly (also I can't work out what chairs I would use to hold the vee). I realise that this might give me height problems on the un-chaired pcb, so the plywood sleepers are1.5mm thick and the pcb 1.6 2. What chairs do I need to fix the check rails in place? I have already bought slide and normal Midland 4-blot chairs from c+ l, but am confused about how to fix the all important check rails. ...
... I'm progressing with building my Templot track layout of Claremorris in Ireland circa 1975-85. This will be all bullhead on wooden sleepers. I dont want to go to 21mm, as theres too much plain track to build( and stock to convert), so have decided to use 00-SF. its a decision I didn't take lightly what would people now consider as the pre-eminent way to build 00-SF points( I will use C&L for plain track). (a) Copperclad with half chairs( using vero pin to raise rail) (b) Brook-Smith, again with half chairs on ply (c) all plastic construction( how do we handle the lack of flange chairs etc) (d) ply and plastic chairs, again we have a lack of crossing chairs for 00-SF (e) Combinations Paticulary as copper clad is getting more and more expensive and actually looks like it will exceed the cost of ply sleepers any day now. I expect Martin has a lot of views on this ...
