... yd is the smallest with a head width of 1.1/2". For the Mining rail sections, 20lb FB rail has a head width of 1.7/32". We can use these sizes as typical. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Mar 2008 03:57 from: Bruce Wilson Thanks for the information Martin. Waht I was going to do was measure the code 55 rail and convert that to prototype size but since you have the dimensionsx handy for soemthing close that will work. I am still in touch ... video and trying to draw the template for this turnout. I am having trouble trying to get the geometry correct. I am having trouble with the straight section through the V-crossing. Any help is appreciated.

... bed. Seems to work well enough for me. I always give the tape a light rub with sandpaper between prints to remove any residue from the PLA and to provide a bit of key on the surface. The Z-axis zero position is critical. My printer is a bit flimsy, so I have to keep a close eye on the Z adjustment to ensure a good first layer. I've also found it's better to use a honeycomb fill on the bottom layer rather than make it solid. posted: 2 Jan 2016 03:52 from: Andrew Barrowman Turnout stereo lithography file.

Kind regards Andrew posted: 20 Feb 2017 21:34 from: Andrew Duncan Martin This image is uploaded from Chrome. It shows the Yeovil junction board which may make more sense of my description of the construction that I posted yesterday. But it's only 610KB.

This shows the track and rodding sprayed and I'm almost ready for ballasting. But before I do that I must test it out electrically with a loco. Problem is all my locos bar a mongrel 43xx Mogul are still in 16.5mm gauge from my original Maiden Newton/ Yeovil layout in 00. And that one loco doesn't have pick ups fitted let alone a chip fitted. It is just visible in this photo bottom left, but looks a ...
... a bit of skewing and stretching but I'm very pleased with the result. I'm going to work out more accurate stretcher bar locations and confirm the track centres of the 4 lines within the Brunel part of the shed next. The track centres are important as supporting columns for the drawing offices above were located between the lines in the original carriage/ loco shed part. I'm still new to Templot really so any tips or suggests would be gratefully received. I hope to keep you posted! Cheers, Alex originally dated: 2008-03-11 00:12:43____ from: Paul Boyd Looks like an interesting project. I lived in Bristol for most of my life until I managed to escape, and I think it's a shame and somewhat ironic that the old station is just a car park now. As far as track spacing goes, this was originally built with broad gauge, and I vaguely remember seeing an engraving that shows four broad gauge tracks, so that should give you an idea. originally dated: 2008-03 ...
... some code. All this meant it took me a couple of evenings to get everything assembled and ready to work as I wanted. If anyone is looking for a plug-and-play 3D printer, this is not it. For that you need to look at models such as the Dremel Digilab range (and pay more). All that having been said, I'm confident that I will eventually get some successful results from the BIBO, using code from Templot. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Dec 2018 21:03 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thanks for your feedback on the printer. I can't say I am surprised it didn't work straight out of the box as you hoped. Feedback from others on most brands seems to imply that is normal. Printing in layers with movement of the plate( z-axis) between each layer isn't exactly great for track bases as you mention. Is the software not clever enough to be able to specify which chunks to print and in which order whilst avoiding banging the nozzles into previously printed ...

... any of those programs, so I have only a limited knowledge of how they work. But I truly do not understand how a database, a spreadsheet, and a word processor can all have "a common method of operation"? What do you mean? What operations are common to all three but significantly missing from Templot? I genuinely do not know. But what I do notice is that they are all concerned with the management of text. Templot isn't. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Mar 2009 11:03 from: Paul Boyd Blimey- I leave my computer for five minutes and come back to a barrage! Generator settings are a must to be saved. A lot of the things there I just don't want to see most of the time. I'd also like the grid settings to be saved as a user preference rather than in each individual box file- I always use a 0.5ft grid. I understand the point about Scale/Gauge (being a fan of mixed gauge!) but it would be nice if Templot could ...
... topic: 235 C+ L track and P4 gauges posted: 13 Nov 2007 03:43 from: mattots I just received my copy of the Scalefour Digest in the post today, having just joined the Scalefour Society (yep, I've finally decided to go down the P4 route). One interesting point that I stumbled across while flicking through it is on the sheet covering turnout construction using C&L components (23.6.4). It says that you "do not want a track gauge that has a firm grip on the running head and holds the rail upright" since as soon as you remove the gauge the chairs will tilt the rail inwards (as they are supposed to) therefore making the track under-gauge. I've never seen this mentioned anywhere before. Can anyone expand on this? Do the gauges produced by the Scalefour Society have this problem with track constructed using C&L chairs and if so how do people get around it? The digest sheet recommends turning down the flanges on roller gauges so that only the top of the ...

11. Cutting Rail
... dowel (about 3/4 "- ish dia for 0 gauge) like a rolling pin. That way you can usually get a smooth curve all the way to the end of the rail. It's also a good method for short bits of rail such as curved check rails. For a suitable bit of rubber, try toy and novelty shops for "the BIG rubber for BIG mistakes". (That's an eraser for those on the left side of the pond.) regards, Martin. posted: 20 Feb 2008 03:30 from: BeamEnds Hi Jim and Martin, thanks for that.

... Aug 2010 15:08 from: Jim Guthrie Here is an interlaced crossover which I made recently- in S scale using the new S Scale Society rail and chairs. 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.

... in 10 years time who are new to the whole thing. We are not trying to be Facebook, where today's post is tomorrow's chip paper. If something appears on Templot Club which I think might be misleading to others, I try to clarify it, as much for them as in direct reply to the poster. The Templot data files should be easily identified from their file extensions. If the same extensions are used by some other software, BOX and OTBOX binary files both start with the same string of 12 bytes: 03 4E 20 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 but BOX and OTBOX files can't be separated that way, they are both the same. Only the first 4 bytes are actually tested on loading. There are probably very few OTBOX files in the wild, so it's not too late to change it, if it seems necessary, without preventing loading of existing files. The new MECBOX files are text files, and at present start as: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE == == == == = ...
... area for both steam and diesel locos. It is only the terminus, approach and carriage sidings that I require. All the rest has been completed and track is already in place. I fully realise this is a very daunting task and once my own Templot skills improve, I hope I will be able to contribute. Right now I don't know where or how to start so would be very grateful for any guidance you can provide.

You're right that it's a challenging design, because you want to include as much as possible of your existing pointwork while hopefully creating a flowing "Templot" design for new handbuilt curved pointwork. Before you began handbuilding you sent me some scans of your existing 00 pointwork, which I matched for you in Templot. The straight turnouts were a good match to A-7, and the diamonds matched 1 ...

I do have such a beast already built, the first time round I used #5 turnout bases from Fastracks and hacked them up to get what I wanted. Any chance of a picture? It's quite difficult to visualize what you are trying to do. Do you have some pictures or drawings of your prototype track with the point tips adjacent to the frog vee? regards, Martin. posted: 12 Jul 2009 03:31 from: BruceNordstrand Martin Wynne wrote: BruceNordstrand wrote: a lot of acronyms I am not familiar with but I will go find out what they are and what they do Hi Bruce, For a list, see: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm#peg_positions As for the point blades being so close to the frog tip, that is the problem I am trying to address.

... the smallest size that would guarantee all information and detail within the drawings was fully readable, since the original drawings were the equivalent of just over A1 size (or the nearest imperial size thereof). The quality of the resulting books is indeed excellent. Like you I doubt that the L&NWRS would bother, as many members also use Templot, but bearing in mind what the archivist said, I thought it best to point out the aspect of copyright.

All that then remains is to fettle the tip and blunt back the nose, as noted previously.
