... -111738_Facebook.jpg 38 posted: 13 Aug 2020 11:38 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ian, The turnout rail is ramped up to carry the wheel over the top of the running rail. The check rail ensures that it is pulled fully over it. Your photo shows GWR Type E catch points. The turnout rail chairs are raised with timber packings and terminate with a block of oak, 1.1/2" above the running rail. Here is a similar set of FB catch points at Castle Cary: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _02.jpg Wikimedia Creative Commons You can see the two-level baseplates under the rising turnout rail. In this case the check rail is extended beyond the end of the running rail. There is a whole chapter on GWR Catch Points in David Smith's GWR track book. Photo also shows the interwoven timbering and a skewed long timber on the turnout exit. Also modern Pandrol clips on the siding, but older spike fixings still on the running line cheers, Martin. posted: 13 Aug 2020 11:55 from: ikcdab Martin Wynne ...
... topic: 4 SNCF sleepers posted: posted: 14 May 2007 02:46 from: BernieM4 The photograph, taken in April this year shows a track of one of the main platforms of Nice SNCF railway station. The wooden sleepers appear to be 'rough hewn' with some repairs visible. A TGV had just departed the station using this track. Does anyone know of sleepers anything like this in the UK? Attachment: attach_6_sncf_sleepers.jpg 195 posted: posted: 18 May 2007 17:04 from: Steve Stubbs I don't know about the UK, but I have some photos somewhere of French sleepers taken in Alsace some years back. They were on a secondary line, and were in effect simply round tree trucks with a flat cut out under each rail where the flatbottom rail was simply spiked through. regards Steve Stubbs Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

3. Catch points
... topic: 179 Catch points posted: 28 Sep 2007 03:46 from: Martin Wynne There has been an interesting discussion about catch* points on RMweb: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t =8908 with some interesting pictures. Here are a couple more: 800px-DerailPoint_JRH-Chokubetsu.jpg Nemuro Main Line, JR Hokkaido. This is a set of catch* points at Castle Cary: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _02.jpg You can see the two-level baseplates under the rising turnout rail, and also the inner rail stops short of an extended check rail -- as in the GWR design which I posted earlier. The photographer obviously felt brave enough to go up on the footbridge! Notice some timber shoving in the foreground. Here's another pic of the same: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _01.jpg *Templot is about track so we'll use the traditional p.w. term "catch points". Nowadays the S&T dept. and the rule book call these "trap" points -- trailing "catch" points are the ones ...
... was to use 12' straight switches rather than the 15' ones on the trace, so I left out one of the slide chair sleepers. The URL shown for the original in NAS looks interesting but I suspect that this might have been the only Caledonian drawing contained in that list since it was the CRA doing a search. (A minute or two later) I find that I am the source for the drawing on the OldPWay site. http://oldpway.info/drawings/CalR_ilace_ctchpnt_12ft_1in10.pdf Jim.

I honestly missed the link to the drawing on old pway even though I've scoured the web for info. I will print it off tomorrow and then look to import it to Templot and design over it as suggested by Martin. As a matter of interest what radius are you using at the end of your checkrails? Regards and many thanks Mike posted ...

Can anyone direct me to a 32mm gauge TEMPLOT file I might use as a starting point, please?

... network. *done by inserting packing blocks under the baseplates. Here's another view of that. Notice that the check rail is similarly ramped up, and extends beyond the end of the running rail -- not something seen often. See also that someone has been doing some timber shoving in the foreground -- the timber is skewed out of square: 2_290349_240000000.jpg From Wikimedia Creative Commons -- more pics: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Catch_and_trap_points CC BY-SA 4.0 File:Castle Cary catch points- 02.jpg Uploaded by Thryduulf Created: 6 September 2006 regards, Martin. posted: 29 Sep 2015 09:09 from: rynd2it Thanks Matrin- that picture is worth a thousand words. Given it is GWR it would be a reasonable assumption that a similar design was in use at Faringdon.

I can also apply it to existing turnouts without messing up my laboriously shoved interlaced sleepers. 25_051800_110000000.png Jim.
