... (i.e. PVA or Copydex) could cause you great problems as they are likely to affect the wallpaper, which could well shrink on drying resulting in distortion and possibly worse (same goes for any templates left in situ). as to the 1mm flangeway, I'm sure others will point out that the critical measurement is not the actual check-rail flangeway width itself but the distance from the inner face of the check-rail to the inner face of the crossing wing-rail. posted: 22 Jan 2016 11:06 from: PeterD Borg-Rail wrote: Hi, So far so good, I think.

203. Monitor Settings
... sideways, can anyone please give me a pointer which removes the distortion. I have tried several different settings, but it is difficult to see what works as all the icons are hidden by the settings screen. The one that I did try which was reasonable in getting it more or less right, made everything quite small. The current setting is 1280 x 1024 the one I tried that got things right but was small, was 1920 x 1080. Many Thanks for any help. Phil posted: 9 Jan 2016 12:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, Assuming it is a flat-screen monitor and not an old CRT display, there is only one setting which will look sharp, i.e. the native dot-pitch of the underlying hardware. 1920 x 1080 is very likely that, sometimes called 1080p: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p If that makes everything too small, you need to change the dpi setting in Windows. Which version of Windows are you using? Go to Start> Control Panel> Display, ...
... to the completed track section when either trying to remove the template or moving the section to it's final location. Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, my question is what do other members use to glue the sleepers to the template? Regards Brian O'Donovan posted: 13 Dec 2015 12:59 from: Raymond I use double sided tape for that and then glue the rubber underlay down with Latex, then the track/paper base and finally glue the ballast with dilute Latex. Raymond posted: 13 Dec 2015 17:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, You didn't say what your timbers are made of? If plywood timbers, ordinary PVA wood glue should be fine. Don't use too much, so that the water content doesn't cockle the paper. Another option would be tubed balsa cement from aero-modelling shops. If plastic timbers, you need a tubed solvent cement adhesive, as used for plastic kits, or Evo-Stik-type contact adhesive. Liquid solvent alone may not provide a strong long-term bond to the paper ...
... , is I am trying to setup my little CNC proton milling machine to do all these for me, Im looking at what fixturing I need, for both the switch blades and the crossing vees. With 30 turnouts to make in the new year its worth a bit of investigation Have anyone ever tried milling them ?, nickel sliver at this dimension is not easy to hold, but the cutter can take the material away very slowly Last edited on 9 Dec 2015 13:29 by madscientist posted: 9 Dec 2015 14:06 from: David R There are many ways to skin a cat.

I'm going to be in a position to start laying the plan down fairly soon, so thought I'd just drop a line to see how things are going. cheers Andy posted: 6 Dec 2016 11:10 from: BigAndy Hi Martin, I'm very nearly at the point of needing the trackplan for tracklaying! I was wondering how the update is going? Many thanks Andy posted: 7 Dec 2016 06:58 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andy, I'm sorry to say I haven't had much time for Templot recently. I can't give any date for the next update, and I can't guarantee that a new range of FB vertical switches will be in it. It is long overdue, so I may need to leave some unfinished stuff out of it in order to get it released. I don't believe many folks would notice or know the difference if you used the existing BS-113A inclined FB switches which are already in ...

Hi Mike, Concrete Pots (also known as 'twin-block' or occasionally 'monoblock' sleepers), were a wartime thing. Most of the big companies had been looking at reinforced concrete sleepers for a while. But earlier the cost benefits weren't there. There was no scrap value to a concrete sleeper, unlike timber and steel sleepers. Also concrete ...
... on every scanner I have used the setting is clear in the scanner dialog: 2_050221_390000000.png It is not necessary to change it, you just need to know what it is. I'm going to have a re-think on the dialogs. I suspect that for many users the easiest approach is to scale it manually after loading, likewise shifting it into position on the trackpad. I will make that the default approach and leave the automatic settings as "expert" options. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Nov 2015 19:06 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you for the reply, I press the scan button on my HP printer (deskjet 2510) and it just scans, Just gone on line and its 600 x 300 dpi black/ 600 x 600 dpi colour 1200 x 1200 max?

The prints are used as templates for cutting the track bed as I prefer to have separate track beds for each line or pair to allow landscaping between lines below the track bed datum.

At present the background shapes can be included on both, but you may need to click the output> output preview options> show background shapes menu option.

... detailed, with prototypical knuckle curvature and now I'm back to wheels dropping in the gap. But each one gets me one step closer to getting it right- there are some lucky types who get it right first time (or do what works rather than what looks right+ works).

Derek posted: 1 Oct 2015 18:01 from: rynd2it Thanks again guys, long way off construction (probably have to convert the garage first) Cheers David posted: 2 Oct 2015 06:43 from: Hayfield We thought a bit about using ply sleepers on the club layout, nothing wrong with the adhesion of plastic chairs to ply as a whole even though individually you can easily release the chair from the timber. But as plastic plain track has been chosen it seemed logical to use plastic timbers as both will be painted to match each other, also the bond of chair to timber/sleeper is far stronger. The idea of a C&L (full rather than basic) kit is that the ...
... change the guage to n scale right? Hi Daniel, No, that will mint new templates, restoring some default UK settings. Instead, to convert them to N-NMRA, click the convert group button on the gauge/scale dialog. That's at gauge> other gauges... menu item. The conversion may do some funny tricks, such as the wrong check rail (guard rail) end gaps for machined flares, but it's all easily fixed. regards, Martin. posted: 22 Dec 2014 22:06 from: dce21b Ok, I have used the US templates and redid the layout... what you guys think?

... 00-sf.org.uk/#gauge_tools Please bear in mind that the Gauges I supplied (now C&L) were originally designed for use with C&L Code 75 Bullhead Rail; other rail sections (and rail from other suppliers) may require different slot widths; see here (Post #134): http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/94567-00-sf-and-00-bf-can-you-mix/page-6 HTH Brian posted: 4 Sep 2015 06:05 from: Hayfield Can I make a comment that if using plastic chairs do not make the rail slots too deep, as the rail is held at a 1-20 cant and the head of the rail needs to rotate in the slot. if too deep the rail is held upright whilst in the gage, but relaxes back after thus gauge narrowing posted: 4 Sep 2015 09:19 from: polybear Thanks John- good point.

... I make the second turnout to connect to it there is a joggle in the track (not like in the video!). Looking closer at this track, if it is continued until it meets the straight track (as if it was part of a turnout) the tracks do not co-incide, there is a slight offset. Is that correct? I assume not! So what have I done wrong?

... from: madscientist The reason i added chairs to copperclad was to compare like for like. I see no additional madness to adding cosmetic chairs to copperclad as to add them to B-S ply method. It still remains that ply is cheaper at this stage then either copper or plastic. And copperclad is only going one way. I suspect its days ate numbered for track construction.

... anybody is interested, a photo etc are on my website. They are cast from polyurethane resin. Not being able to get any MSE ones for some time, I took a look at some photos of the prototype and decided I could do better anyway. I realise of course that such an item is a very small part of the MSE empire and as such can't warrant any re-tooling. So hope you don't mind me mentioning this but thought it might be of interest.

... at the 'Y' end of the junction are special, or at least look to be to me. The ones at the fan of siding's off the 'mainline' look to me to be standard straight turnouts 1 LH and 2RH. So here's the stupid question. Where there are straight turnouts can one use a standard template, for example say a B7? If so, how do you know which one to use? Would this be affected by the track spacing? Many thanks in anticipation. RichardS posted: 27 Apr 2015 06:03 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, Welcome to Templot Club. The OS 6-inch maps are really too small in scale to provide any detailed track planning information. Generally the smallest scale that is usable in Templot as a background guide are the 25-inch maps (1 :2 ,500).

The images are poor deliberately to encourage purchase and protect their collection's commercial worth. And that is understandable. The digital age with internet has made it very easy to copy and disseminate material that both private and public entities have used to create profit and help fund the building and maintenance of collections.
