... you can provide. regards Brian posted: 7 Dec 2016 19:49 from: Phil O I wouldn't worry too much about it, draw in you main line and then" insert turnouts in plain track" adjust the 'V' angle using F5 to suit where you want the branch track to go, which keeps the radius at or above your minimum radius. If one of the roads carries passengers use the larger switch, if not use the smaller switch. If both roads carry passengers I try to use a 1 in 10 crossing if I have the room, but I don't drop below 1 in 8 plus a 'C' switch. For goods only you can come down to an 'A'switch. You may have to accept compromises if you can't fit your switch and crossing work in the space available.

These will make it a bit easier to align the inserted additional V-crossing: 2_101500_510000000.png 2_101500_510000002.png 2_101500_510000001.png I will make a bit of video showing these in use shortly. The program update should be available in the next few days. There are still a few loose ends to finish first. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2017 20:22 from: Alan Kettlewell I'll look forward to this.

204. Frog Angles
... topic: 2158 Frog Angles posted: 13 Feb 2013 10:14 from: CoBo Okay... just trying to get my head round frog angles and must point out geometry wasn't my niche subject at school. If my understanding is correct, I think that B, C, D etc, relate to the length of a turnout and that 8, 9, 10, to the amount the diverging track moves away from the main over a given distance, eg a C:10 is a long point where the diverging track moves away from the main at 1cm in every 10cms. I also understand the difference between Right Angle Measurement (RAM) and Centre Line Measurement (CLM). I've seen filing jigs where one can file the frog rails to the required angles eg 10, 12 etc. and assume that all 10's or 12's etc have the angle set the same- I don't mean 10 will be the same as 12 but that all 10's will be the same and all 12's will be the same. Am I therefore correct in ...
... I put nicks in the foot of the stock rail for the set bend The handlaidtrack frog jig looks excellent and similar to the vee filing jigs, if a lot of turnouts are being built at the same angle it might be worth the expence posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:04 from: Hayfield Paul I would like to add, make sure you use sharp files and file one way only. I buy Vallobe files, they are slightly dearer than cheap files but so much better For code 75 I use a smooth cut 10" when using the vee jig, I also have smooth and 2nd cut 6" files For the switch rail jigs I use 10" on the backs and 6" on the inside heads.

208. Track centres
... spurs, etc., should be spaced at 10ft way (60.67mm centres) from a running line, or 9ft way minimum (56.67mm centres) where this is unavoidable because of existing structures, etc. But you can always find exceptions and local rules. Where for example a double line has been singled, and one track remains in use as a siding. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Jul 2016 17:12 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you, as it happens I took a stab in the dark and used 10' for the gap between the shed and the running lines, but not the loco runaround I guess the engine shed will be much the same with 10' track centres?

I have since found perhaps 100 photos of the general scene and from a couple of them I have been able to work out which turnouts to use (mostly B8 and C8- which surprised me as I'd have thought a short slow branch... but it was once busy). I have used google maps to trace certain KNOWN positions and as you say, working backwards from there. At the moment I really just need an idea of the trackwork that will cause me hassle later ...

Hi Pete, No, the requirement applies only to Templot2, as stated in the terms for free use of the program. You can go on using your old paid-for version of Templot as much as you wish. The two programs are completely separate and you can use either or both at any time. However, Templot2 contains a great many new features, so I imagine ...
212. Checkrail on curves
... topic: 2580 Checkrail on curves posted: 24 Nov 2014 20:40 from: DerekStuart Me again... A question (or 3) for the experts- of which there are plenty here! Checkrails on curved track- 10 chains A) Assuming you are coming from a straight section (very low speed so no transition curve (or should there still be one anyway?)) how far should the checkrail lead in from the straight, or does that depend upon speed rating of road? B) I have just read that the checkrail sits proud of the running rail, but I am not 100% sure this was for British track. Is this correct and if so, how far does it sit proud? C) In model form, C&L Exactoscale says to use standard chairs and on each sleeper, alternating between running rail and check rail, with a decorative half stuck on in the appropriate places (I have plenty of 'halves', given how many I've broken!). I wonder if this is the ...
... . Hi Ian, No, it's a GWR 30ft straight switch: 2_170910_250000000.png The GWR had only 3 flexible switches, B, C and D, introduced for new work from 1930. For the other sizes, shorter and longer, they continued to use their older designs. There is no "normal" crossing angle, everything depends on the site, the traffic, and the line speed. If there is any curving it always means a longer crossing to avoid a severe speed restriction over the diverging turnout road. 1:10 is fine for a station throat or branch terminus area, but maybe a bit short for a running loop or crossover out in the country. On the other hand 1:16 seems generous, unless the turnouts are on a curve. Often in complex station throats 1:8 is used so that they match 1:8 diamond-crossings and slips (which is the longest angle allowed for fixed K-crossings, and then only if they are all-straight), but it does mean speeds must be kept ...
... topic: 2591 Storage Yard efficient useage posted: 8 Dec 2014 10:30 from: Godfrey Earnshaw My proposed layout is basically a horseshoe. The storage/fiddle yards will be on one leg of the horseshoe. My question is what is the best arrangement to come from the "horse shoe" toe into the storage yard to give the maximum length of siding in the leg. I am working in 00-SF, the entrance curve is minimum 915mm (36") radius. The sidings are on 60mm centres. I have utilised 1 in 8 curved turnouts and tools>make branchtrack. From this branchtrack I have constructed a transition to the adjacent parallel track. This is repeated, working outwards, until the requisite number, of tracks, is constructed. At the moment this is four. Supplementary question; would I be better using a curviform V-crossing?

Hi, Yes they are not a "scale" item. You are up against the limits of injection moulding. Heat, flow rate and the thinness of section. It is the same reason that cockpit canopies in modern kits of aircraft are still so thick. Also from memory they do hold the rail. Any thiner and probably there wouldn't be the robustness that the task requires. Like any of these items it is a toss up for manufacturer for accuracy, successful manufacturing,market penetration and end use. It is ...

Set the "width of blunt nose" dimension to 0.5" for most USA V-crossings (frogs). Set the "blunt nose to timber centre" dimension to your 4". I'm tired too.

... topic: 3499 output elements- new settings and print preview posted: 10 Sep 2019 20:51 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin, I seem to be finding my way back to Templot again! There's a couple of features that would be quite nice to have, if they're not already there somewhere:- When printing the background templates, any platforms with a solid infill obliterate any text, such as timber numbering or "blunt nose" etc. Could it be arranged so that the platform is always underneath any text? Hatching partially solves this, but even so, the text then becomes chopped up. The other one, which I'm sure is an option somewhere, is to not show the template number on the output, so just "A11" instead of "PL172.A11".

... all of the features first. I guess I used only the basics of Templot and because I landed up doing a lot of rework, I have probably not done it the most efficient way. I couldn't for example get the move group to work properly so landed up moving my goods yard a template at a time many times as I moved it around the design. The issue that I have at the moment though is that I have managed to print out the background templates on my second attempt- my first produced nothing after 10 hours! but the background shape that I was working to has not printed. To be able to fully determine whether I have met my design aims, I need to see both the "original" and the trackplan on top of it and study it for a few weeks. Is there a way to get the background shape (picture) in my case printed? I thought I had clicked the right options but apparently not. At some stage I will also need to decide where to cut the design for transportation as ...
