... /P4 which others have raised. For this plan I reckon P4 is clearly out, even EM is being pushed to the limits. Now I reckon EM is probably fine as something which gives you a reasonably scale look but with more generous tolerances than P4, but on a plan of this nature I'm not sure that the scale look will actually come across, in fact a narrower gauge may look better on the sharper curves. I'd suggest 00-SF may be the best solution. cheers Nigel posted: 31 Jul 2008 02:18 from: Jim Guthrie Nigel Brown wrote: Not sure I'd agree with this.

... topic: 3622 Email oddities posted: 1 Mar 2020 10:36 from: allanferguson I have things set up to get forum postings by email, and that mostly works fine. However I have recently been receiving multiple email copies of Martin's postings. This morning I received eleven emails with Martin's posting number 473. timed in here at 21:02. The emails were timed between 00:39 and 08:23. It's not a big issue, although there is a risk of me deleting good emails with the rubbish, But I wondered if anyone here might have any idea why this happens. It only seems to affect Martin's postings. Allan F posted: 1 Mar 2020 11:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Allan I posted a few days ago about some Templot emails not arriving or arriving very (days) late. I'm fairly sure there's something not right about the forum emails at the moment. With missing emails it's a bit tricky to see what's happened because I don't have them! I'm still missing some Templot emails, so now ...
... topic: 3474 How to join/align 2 templates? posted: 3 Aug 2019 02:19 from: drrsenior I am sure this is very basic but I have been unable to find the answer.I am designing a shed layout and have been making decent progress. Have battled through divergent turnouts with adequate success. Where I am struggling is linking adjacent tracks with a turnout as a simple operation. Attached is a file showing a simple example of what I mean. (Deliberately so there is no easy drop in curve) I have say 2 shed roads which are fixed, lengthen one of the roads and insert a turnout. What is the best way to now link the other road to the turnout? To date I have had to put plain track on either end of the gap and then fiddle around with length and radius until they meet neatly: I presume there is a better way?

207. Track gauge query
... out the gauges I wish to make. Thanks again Rob posted: 6 Nov 2020 01:21 from: Nigel Brown Hi Rob Depends what you want to calculate. I assumed you know the distance (2d) between the two corners on the 3-point track gauge which sit on the outer rail. Feed in different values of the track radius R into the formula R- sqrt(R *R- d*d) and the formula will give you the corresponding widening. cheers Nigel posted: 6 Nov 2020 02:44 from: Martin Wynne Rob Manchester wrote:....and no I am not going to run EM-SF round 200mm radius track I need to make some 3 point gauges for other odd modelling scales/track gauges some of which will be running round curves that tight.

Bearing in mind this design is about 40 years old, the V-crossing area is quite acceptable and almost exactly 1:5. About the switch area however, the least said the better. The deflection angle is ludicrously sharp. The best match I can get to the lead length and footprint is to use one of Templot's short model switches (1 :24), with a regular 1:5 V-crossing, and a slight tweak ...

... to it? And also increasing the gauge on curves- what sort of radius would you need before this is a problem? Despite flange squeal on the real line out of Whitby, the radius looks pretty mild at 3300mm (12.4 chains) until you get past new bridge, where it is fitted. I am going up there in a couple of weeks time to do nothing but take photos of a pair of points and the curves. Thanks again for your guidance it really is appreciated. Derek posted: 20 Oct 2014 02:23 from: DerekStuart Hello Phil Thanks for that suggestion. I had initially dismissed OM for not being accurate enough to plot "engineering diagrams" from. However, I have had another look and they have answered several questions about the space between the station and Endeavour wharf, that together with photo's and other engineering data, have been extremely valuable- thank you. Also it confirmed that I am NOT entirely mad. I remember my Dad showing me where the turntable pit had been filled in years earlier and never reconciled ...
... a nice piece of straight trackwork that it needs either to be on a long curve or just curved at the end in order to flow and fit a space I have available. I have looked at shift group on notch, the notch loco depot video and other things listed in the help file tutorials, but these are group shift functions and not group curve functions which I would like. Is it me? is this facility is missing? and if missing is it feasible?

Hi Peter, It's a nice idea but unfortunately it's not feasible. Or at least not feasible without a massively more complex program than Templot. The problem is that as you curve an assembly of templates the alignments between them would change, and Templot would need the intelligence to know what must remain fixed, and what can be changed. There are also some important design considerations. For example if ...

If you mean you need to know how to set up narrow-gauge templates in Templot, there is more information and a Templot video in this topic: customizing for narrow-gauge It's for 7mm scale 2ft gauge, so you would need to alter some of the settings accordingly.

... my little bandsaw is going to be wide enough.......the radial arm mitre saw maybe an option as long as I remember to clamp the roll down firmly. Shame the max custom paper length I can set is not longer. Hi Rob, Cutting manually with a fine hacksaw blade does work, and the result isn't as ragged as you might think if the roll is wound tight. The printers feed by friction roll, so an imperfect edge works ok. cheers, Martin. posted: 2 Dec 2020 02:07 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote: Martin Wynne wrote: I will get the code from the archive and see if I can recompile it without the lock-release code, and post it here.

... . It appears that there was a tandem turn out (ie three way) at the end of the loop- the left hand road served one platform, the right hand one the other platform and the centre road led to the yard on the left of the left hand platform, so it crossed over the left hand road (all rather difficult to describe). Does anyone know of another photograph showing this curious arrangement, please? Presumably its purpose was to minimize the number of facing points. posted: 26 Sep 2008 02:30 from: Martin Wynne John Lewis wrote: Does anyone know of another photograph showing this curious arrangement, please?

Hi John, I don't have another picture of that, but it was very common for a yard connection to cross to the opposite side of a loop to ensure a trailing connection into the passenger lines.

... topic: 2370 Help needed with Templot (from YMR forum) posted: 2 Jan 2014 22:02 from: Mythocentric Hi Martin Re my topic over on YMR this is my layout plan based on the Lancashire& Yorkshire's Rishworth with the problem area outlined in red. Who said small branch line termini were simple? I've tried to follow the video and repeatedly got stuck, no doubt through trying to run before I can do the Templot walk! The photo (which has been 'flipped' horizontally to match the track plan) shows the 3-way as being symmetrical but an asymmetric 3-way with the left-hand leading gives me more room to fit in the coal road (not to mention being easier to build!). I'm working on B7 crossings on both turnouts which give's me a good compromise in the space I have available. Thank you in advance for your generous assistance both here and on YMR! 2849_021659_570000000.jpg 2849_021700_430000000.jpg Edit: Sorry!
