... turnouts have a curviform crossing. The question is though, how should I have done it so that the turnouts align correctly without all the trial and error faffing about, based on the positions of the diverging tracks being fixed? (I know the timbering is wrong- I haven't started shoving yet!) Attachment: attach_414_632_diverging_crossover .jpg 302 posted: 17 Nov 2008 01:49 from: Richard Spratt Isn't it like turnout 7 in the first tutorial? http://www.templot.com/martweb/tut5a.htm Richard posted: 17 Nov 2008 02:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Richard Not really, because in that tutorial the turnout is placed, then the exit track pegged onto it. On my plan the positions of the tracks are already defined, and the crossover needs to fit into what's already there. The attached picture shows what I was starting from. I did use the 'make transition curve' function to give me a nice s-curve between the two lines, but I couldn't get a turnout to line up with both the running lines and the ...
... to what they are!) I think I understand where the confusion has crept in: Here's Gordon's original scan linked from RMweb: (image) There are two double slips in the station throat, and a plain diamond -crossing accessing the turntable from the loco release road. I was assuming that you were intending to change the 'diamond' in the original plan not the 'diamonds' in the file. I should have paid more attention to the plurality of diamonds in your message! Cheers. Brian posted: 13 Nov 2007 02:08 from: Peter Ayre Here's Gordon's original scan: cjf_terminus.png© C J Freezer This track plan is from the Peco book of "Track plans for various locations" (the green cover). The book has been reprinted several times and even though it states the first print was 1989 there is a note from CJF that the book is an update of ideas and plans. I think minories is included as a plan in the book and of course that has just celebrated 50 years. Peter Ayre posted: 13 Nov ...

... topic: 468 First Track Plan Attempt posted: 28 Jun 2008 02:17 from: Mark B. Hi All, First I had better introduce myself. I'm Mark Burgess and whilst having had Templot for a few years now have only really played with it. This is a plan from an Iain Rice book called Witheridge based on the Culm Valley railway. I scanned the plan into Templot and overlaid the track onto it as accuratley as possible. I therefore have added the file to this post (if I have done it right) for you to see. Hopefully if I have made any real errors the experts out there can help me out I look forward to comments both good and bad. Regards, Mark Attachment: attach_294_468_witheridge4.box 431 posted: 28 Jun 2008 02:34 from: Phil O Hi Mark I have had a quick look at your track plan and there are four turnouts with a radius of 23" or less. This may well cause you operating problems unless using short wheelbase loco's and rolling stock. The offending turnouts are at ...
... it's an impressive piece of software for the money. But now we have Google Sketchup, which is free. See: topic 174 topic 212 I've downloaded and installed it, but not yet really got into it, so maybe others can advise further. There is a massive online resource of 3D objects to use in your Sketchup designs. However, I also have the Cadrail demo, and I will have a look at what's going on in the DXF import there. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Feb 2008 23:02 from: BeamEnds I have had quite a good play with SketchUp- and it is really quit amazing! I imported the Templot DXF and added baseboards and the room (loft) including roof supposts and the hidden bits at the ends of the roads within 2 hours! You can add buildings etc to your hearts content, the only real limit is how far you want to go. I did try to up-load it here, but the file is too big- if Martin could make a bit of room I'm ...

I'm using mainly C&L components but though they do 2-bolt running rail chairs they only seem to do 3-bolt slide chairs. Exactoscale don't seem to do them either or am I missing something? Matt posted: 2 Oct 2007 03:35 from: Martin Wynne Hi Matt, Is there a readily available source of 4mm slide chairs suitable for GWR pointwork? I don't know the answer to that, sorry. But now that Phil has provided a close-up top view of a GWR slide chair( http://85a.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?id=64) you may be able modify available chairs. The most characteristic feature is the semicircular end on many GWR chairs. You may be able to round off the inside end of square-ended slide chairs and file off the screw heads. they only seem to do 3- ...
... , we can do it", I think he was absolutely right. Sketchboard, should be a great additional aid to Templot, and with a good stock of library images, it should make life much easier for everyone using it, so lets keep up the good work.

... two manufacturers to suit your needs. There's nothing to choose between them in terms of quality, but they both do different parts. Personally I tend to use C&L wherever possible, and Exactoscale for the bits that C&L don't do. I should mention that this is for GWR trackwork. If you're into modelling LNER (or early BR, I think), then you might want to look at the Exactoscale turnout kits.

As you may have seen in a recent post I raised the issue of the lack of availability of 2-bolt slide chairs. I'm certainly no expert on prototype track but from what I can gather from the various sources I've been scouring recently the check and bridge chairs should also really be 2-bolt for GWR track.

... topic: 418 New Laptop plus Vista posted: 25 Apr 2008 02:22 from: Brian Tulley Hi all, I'm expecting delivery of a new laptop that has Vista pre-installed (try buying one with XP...) and I suspect doesn't come with Vista Disks (I think you have to create backup disks after delivery). Having searched this forum I'm under the impression that there may be some issues when running Templot with Vista (is this still the case Martin?) I have a copy of XP Pro on CD that hasn't been loaded onto another machine. Can I partition the drive of the new machine and install XP onto the second partition, leaving Vista where it was? Can I then run Templot via XP somehow? Has anyone tried this please, and is it straightforward? The last thing I want is for it to go horribly wrong on a new laptop.... Or shall I wait for Martin to Vista-ise Templot? Thanks. Brian. posted: 25 Apr 2008 02:25 from ...
... we could give you a Templot-generated file (DXF?) for a complex track formation (subject to any size constraints) and a single base comes back. Have I understood that correctly? Cheers posted: 21 Dec 2008 01:29 from: Brian Lewis Hi Paul. I believe you work at Clevedon. You could always pop in. Size constraints. No real limit, but no piece can be larger than 610 x 458mm- that 2' x 1.5'. Regards Brian Lewis posted: 21 Dec 2008 02:02 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Sounds great! But one thing is puzzling me. You wrote: You do not need templates or layout generating programmes- although our system will work well with Templot and similar. With no more than a back of envelope sketch, you use the bases to create the track formation, glue them down. If you don't have a detailed track plan before creating the plan directly by glueing down the bases, how do you know which turnout sizes to order? regards, Martin ...

Does the make double track option within the software, when used on straight track, adhere to the 6ft rule? I'm conscious that there are semaphore signals to go in between adjacent lines in places and want to make sure the clearances are there for those, but again, I'm not sure how to do that, or the measurements that should be worked to?

... topic: 390 Adding track to double slip. posted: 28 Mar 2008 02:42 from: George Ray I must be doing something wrong, so help please guys. I have constructed a scissors crossover with a double slip on one exit road. I then put a peg on the exit of the slip, put the notch under the peg and then try to add some plain track onto that notch. As soon as I move the track into position the notch moves from under the peg and the new track doesn't align with where I want it to go. Any help would be much appreciated. I should add that this is part of my storage yard and I managed somehow to get the other end to work out after suffering the same sort of problem, I thought I had sussed it but obviously I haven't.

... to be a lubricant reservoir, there looks to be 'something' on the rail head. Not sure what. Perhaps even just a trick of the light. Only other option- it's a check rail ready to be moved into position on the turnout just to the right of the picture and they've left it in a 'safe' place??? That lubricator wasn't there in 1980's- I have several photos that don't show it, so perhaps it wasn't needed for diesel/dmu bogies? posted: 12 Nov 2014 23:02 from: Alan Turner It has nothing to do with the track except in so far as to protect the track from trolleys and such like coming down the platform ramp. regards Alan posted: 12 Nov 2014 23:05 from: Tony W Hi John.
