The minimun radius through any of the crossover routes is 40.7 inches. Is this less than your minimum requirement?

... similar at the bottom of the coil, usually in the form of a nylon based cover over the last part of the coil. This keeps the the steel spring separated from the base, (or bottom compression plate), to ease the turning of the front wheels. When the cover wears out you will know as the spring will catch and let go on the plate as you turn the steering wheel making a clunking noise similar to the failure of your CV joints.

71. GW 'V' Rail
... taken the timber spacing from page 33 of said book. I'm wondering if it has something to do with not taking into account the angle of the timbers when calculating the spacing, but the rail joint definitely isn't 12ft from the intersection. Also, maths is most definitely not my strong point! It looks as if when Templot is adjusting the rail to span a set number of timbers, it isn't taking account of where those timbers are if they've been shoved.

74. glueing track
... a better solution. When ballast is glued using PVA you get a solid mass which can transmit noise using the basebords as amplifiers. Less noise is transmitted through the flexibly glued ballast and so you get quieter running, not that important at an exhibition, but in the home.... A cheaper alternative to Copydex is the latex based glue used fitting carpets, usually sold in 5litre(?) plastic cans. Cheers for now John from 33820 St Ciers sur Gironde, France. posted: 23 Dec 2011 12:06 from: allanferguson Copydex does, as stated, remain flexible. But if you try to drill holes in it (as for wiring) the glue film will wrap itself round the drill and simply peel off the baseboard and rail/ballast surfaces -- a pain in the neck. I have used a spray adhesive sold for floorcoverings with some success, but it leaves little time for adjustment. I'm not convinced of the soundproofing qualities of any combination of adhesive and underlay on a conventional baseboard. The only reasonably quiet system ...

77. Track Centres
... topic: 1821 Track Centres posted: 8 Feb 2012 20:06 from: Jerry I am gradually assembling my Maidenhead Goods Yard in Templot, thanks to Paul Boyd who provided advice on diamond cross overs. I have a dilemma which I cannot resolve in my own mind so am asking members for their guidance. I have been following the 1:2500 OS map where it seems the surveyor has set out the running lines, Up& Down Main and Up& Down Relief other than with the Templot selected track spacing. The lines were slightly curved through the station and past the yard, as shown in photographs, but then all 4 lines straightened out. The plan I am working to is attached. Would other modellers follow the surveyors' settings or set-out the tracks using standard parallel spacing? My recollection is that these were exemplars of GWR track. It had to be, one of my school mates fathers was the local permanent way inspector for Maidenhead. He was a big man with a big voice! Jerry Attachment: attach_1348_1821_1234_flattened.pn g ...
... !)- hence the floor "footprint". At the Lavant end, the width is dictated by the opening into the new room where the conservatory used to be (4' window removed) and at the "Cocking" end by the 2' 6" door way into the hall- the scenic breaks being an overbridge( representing "Bulldog bridge" )* at that end, and the tunnel mouth at the Lavant end. Any other suggestions, hints etc gratefully received. best wishes Richard* correction 27/06/2019- my mistake- "Bulldog Bridge" is between Singleton and Cocking Tunnels- the overbridge for the scenic break is for a farm track to Hat Hill, and I am told is called "leg of Mutton" Last edited on 27 Jun 2019 14:27 by Richard_Jones posted: 5 Jul 2010 22:41 from: JFS I think it would make a good exhibition layout (providing that you only operate the Race Days TT!)

... topic: 2885 A rethink of plans posted: 31 May 2016 22:06 from: kellyh So if you'll recall, I previously posted with a few issues I was having with the layout plan I'd drawn. In the end I decided to go back and try again. Rather than having a crossover on a transition curve, it is now straight, though it might look better as a Y, but not entirely sure how to achieve that at present, but for now it works to give the overall idea for figuring things out. I also have added a single slip at the left end. I followed the tutorial video best I could and *think* I've got it right, but I'm not convinced of that. Might have messed the single slip alignment up somewhere along the way, not entirely sure. the plan is for a traverser each end, and the 3 long parallel tracks are planned to be hidden underneath scenery and accessed from the traverser. Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed. Attachment: attach_2291_2885_woolwich_dockyard ch_2016_05_31_2159_53.box 257 posted: 1 Jun 2016 ...

Resampled to 12.5%= your 50%: Lanczos3 2_031109_570000000.png At this size there just aren't enough pixels to contain anything more than a smeared effect. The grating area is only 28 pixels wide and you have 47 "lines" in your diagram (grating bars and spaces between them). I'm not sure where your problem lies or what all this demonstrates? Your image is just fine. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Oct 2010 18:06 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Thanks for the information, in particular the parts related to the use of various algorithms to re-sample the image. You are perhaps quite correct in your assumption, however, I will keep doing what I am already doing and hope all will be acceptable. It would seem from what your experiment has shown, that for 'Z' scale, the current image should be OK, and that is good news. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 3 Oct 2010 22 ...
