... side: 2_101337_190000000.png Another way is to insert a turnout and then remove it again. You can do that very quickly -- starting with plain track, hold down the CTRL key and then press the I key and then the L key: CTRL-I= insert turnout in plain track CTRL-L= convert to plain track cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2020 18:58 from: ikcdab Thank you thats really helpful.

... topic: 2117 Group undo posted: 16 Nov 2012 06:58 from: LSWRArt If you have used Group> mouse action: Shift or rotate group is there any way to undo this if you have made a mistake. The back arrow key just undoes the last actions on the current template- not what you have just done on the group.

Hi Arthur, Sorry, there isn't an undo for that. There are several ways round that if you are not sure and just want to try something, but they all require some pre-planning: 1. Before you start do save group to a file. You could call it temp_group.box and re-use it each time. Then if the shift/rotate results are not what you wanted, you can delete the group and add the original templates back ...

... , start by extending the entry-straight on the first turnout. You can do that by mouse action in version 091c, which makes it much easier to see what you are doing and keep an eye on the radius. There is a bit of Jing video showing that mouse action in use at: http://screencast.com/t /q8zBFC9z and some notes about it at: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =398910#p398910 regards, Martin. posted: 5 Dec 2008 21:06 from: Brian Lewis Well I do not know what Martin thinks about the concept John, but I think this what has been needed for years. The printed word is so much better than videos, help files, etc. Not a criticism, but a thought. If I was doing this I think I would have a separate link for every action, i.e. keep them spaced out from the explanatory text. You could reduce the margins, so that it would not use up more paper. When I get a ...
... find anything it couldn't do. But now, maybe I have.... Here is an extract from a Midland Railway PW Engineer's drawing: undefined 606_191437_380000000.jpg The wing rails have a set and then finish with radius or 18". The check rails opposite (adjacent to the stock rails) have a similar arrangement, but the end radius is larger. Is this reasonable to add as a third flare type to the 'adjust check rail end or wing rail end' dialog?

Please feel free to change it. P.S.2- I'd be happy to upload a selection of complete MR P-W drawings for others to reference. But as they are 3-4MB each, I wanted to check that the size is OK and where I should put them. Andy posted: 22 ...

I did have what i thought was a suggestion about adding the version number to the printed Templot function key chart (the key mapping changes with different versions) but on closer look, it is actually printed in very small text that i failed to notice till after i created this topic.

... selecting a background template for editing by using Wipe to Control. Perhaps Delete to Control would be better? I have watched the video a few times, and found it to be helpful. My model image has a variety of track formations including slips and a tandem; I see it as a useful training ground in preparation for the task of designing the main layout. Being a forgetful bear, an aide memoire of what does what is being made as I go along.

Hi Les, Wiping a template removes it from the screen and printing, but leaves it in the storage box (and the .box file) as an "unused" template. If you look in the storage box you will see it coloured blue instead of red. Deleting a template removes it entirely from the stored templates and the file. Which to use ...
149. Curved Double Slip
... certainly there would be only one ground signal for both roads. Also the hand lever would be on the left, away from the running line, and there is no sign of a suitable linkage. The switch on the bottom left might be a hand lever, or might be rodded from the box. However with the other three switches rodded I think it likely that this one would be too, and the lie of the switches is in accordance with this. double_outslip.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 30 May 2008 02:06 from: phileakins Thanks Martin. When you think about it, would any signalling scheme allow ends of the same point to be separately controlled? Both ends are 'on the box' in some fashion, but it is plainly possible to set a route which could result in a run through. Of course we can't see the crossover behind the photographer and presumably the the mechanical locking wouldn't allow the clearing of a signal for a plainly wrong route, but (as I tell trainees) signals do not put an inpenetrable barrier across ...

... topic: 3680 Scissors crossovers posted: 28 May 2020 06:29 from: Graham Long HiI am grappling with making a template for a scissors crossover. I understand there are two types of scissors crossover i.e Scissors 1 and 2. The scissors 1 is more difficult. I am not sure if this means that more difficult to get make template or it is more difficult to make the formation from the template. Could I get clarification?

This is very kind of you to do but please don't waste to much of your time on this unless you really want to or like the challenge. I hope that helps Rgds, Stuart. ps: I'm away from my pc for the next few days so replys might take a little longer posted: 7 Mar 2011 21:06 from: Paul Boyd I enjoy the challenge... The tightest radius is on the entry turnouts, at 17.5". This should be OK for most applications, although you may not want to get a 9F through it! To use this formation, you'll need to import it to your current plan as a library (Storage box => Add library), and also read up about handling grouped templates- you'll need to group all of these so that the whole formation can be moved as one. I've left ...

... to deal with the curves through the fornation. The diamond crossing is a switched diamond- usually used when the angle of the "K" crossing starts getting too large which can cause flanges to take the wrong road. It looks as though the angle of the "K" crossing in the formation looks OK for a fixed diamond, but I wonder if the comparative simplicity of the switched diamond around the "K" crossing might not have been an advantage in this formation. Jim. posted: 12 May 2020 14:06 from: Mike Kynaston Martin- Many thanks, the K crossing bit was the section we did not know about, and hand not realised that Templot would handle everything itself in that respect.

... which explains both functions. For this tutorial I have reverted to a static text tutorial with screenshots, instead of interactive video. It was intended to be quicker to do, but I'm not sure that it was in the end. This new function means that several dozen videos and tutorials are now out-of-date in this regard and need re-doing.

... That might influence matters. It certainly makes side protection boards unfeasible without correcting the position of the shoes. When modelling using 00 gauge track, I set my third rail with the insulated rail supports at 14.2mm from the track centre line. 00 gauge sleepers are generally 32mm long instead of the scale 34mm, which could leave the third rail appearing too close to the end of the sleeeprs.

I hope your new P/S4 one is progressing satisfactorily, I can't wait to see it.
