... at the close end of the opposing check rail giving an approximate length of 8ft. I'm sure I read somewhere that short splice rails were done away with quite early and I have not found any reference to uses longer than 17ft. Does anyone have any opinions on this please? Either for prototypical reasons or pragmatic modelling. Any suggestions greatfully appreciated as usual.

... topic: 2964 I wish it would.... allow Wing Rails to have a knuckle bend radius posted: 14 Jan 2017 14:06 from: ChrisBr As I understand it (early) GWR Wing Rails were radiused according to the angle of the crossing as the became the check rail for the crossing nose. It would be nice (assuming I have not missed the capability in the system- I did look first) to be able to select this as an option under "Real, V-Crossing Options" when modelling these examples and for the printout to reflect this option.

If you haven't created a group of templates, you will have the option to group all of them for the conversion. Unfortunately it is not mathematically possible to do a perfect conversion unless the gauge:scale ratio and the gauge:flangeway-gap ratio remain the same. In practice this means only the proto gauges convert closely: S7- S- P4- Proto87- S2 etc ...

166. Outside slip
... feasible for building. You might also have to watch out for where the locations of the hinge points of the switch blades in the four foot so that the blades are long enough to flex. You might find that you have to make a decision about it becoming half of a scissors rather than an outside slip if things don't work out. With Iain Rice's plans you might have a wee bit of a fight on your hands since Iain can be a bit optimistic at times. Jim. posted: 3 Oct 2016 13:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, As Jim says, outside slips can involve a bit of fiddling about, especially if starting from a CJF or Iain Rice plan. Also in his books Iain incorrectly refers to a half-scissors as an "outside slip", so it may not be entirely clear what he intended. Yes, start with the diamond-crossing. For an outside slip it will be a short one, typically 1:6 or shorter. Insert a turnout in the main road of one half ...

173. yet another newbie
... Sep 2014 16:28 from: Tony W Hi Simon. Welcome to the Templot Club. What you are trying to do is more than Templot will allow. You can have one template of track with a straight section and a single curve or a template with a reverse curve but not all three. You will need to break your straight, left hand curve, right hand curve into two separate templates. The fact that you are using a laptop is irrelevant.

... topic: 2535 Templot on tablets and small computers posted: 19 Sep 2014 09:06 from: Martin Wynne Some recent tablet and small notebook computers now have very high resolution small screens, which default to 144dpi or more. I know there are some users running Templot on these computers. And I'm now one of them. I've been disappointed by the way Windows displays the trackpad detail on these screens by default. For non dpi-aware programs, on screens above 120dpi Windows ignores the scaling settings in the program, draws the screen at 96dpi and then scales it up to fit. For our purpose this produces a very disappointing result, defeating the whole point of having a high-resolution screen. To see what I mean, this is what Templot tries to draw on the screen: 2_190332_190000000.png On these high-resolution tablet computers, this is what you actually get: 2_190333_570000000.png You may not realise that this is what you are getting because the small size and very high resolution disguises it.

... sections. Mainly it was done to test size for location and see the positioning of mock-up buildings. And yes a 6' long building in 7mm does not dominate on a plan that long. The reality that became obvious during some test building is that you only really need plans the size of the individual base board sections. Complex formations wil also need to be printed separately for build purposes. None the less it can be impressive to roll out. Regards, Matt M. posted: 3 Aug 2014 11:06 from: Les Waters Many thanks for the informative replies. I am not so hung up on getting one print of the whole thing, other than to lay it over my baseboards to try and ensure that baseboard joints do not conflict too much with pointwork. It sounds like it would be best to get the whole plan printed in two parts with some of the more complicated trackwork printed separately. Once again many thanks for the most helpful replies.
