... topic: 2723 Is this the correct geometry? posted: 11 Jul 2015 16:26 from: Keith N Hi all Using the help video of the making of a double junction I have got to the position where the new inner track is extended around until it meets the straight track as shown. Fine so far, however when 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? Upload of work so far included Cheers Keith Attachment: attach_2144_2723_Double_Junction_2 .box 196 posted: 11 Jul 2015 17:06 from: Martin Wynne Keith N wrote: Is that correct? I assume not!

At one point I had a pen plotter borrowed from work and produced some templates on it as I only had a dot matrix printer at the time. Do you remember my photo of the Canon inkjet with a roll paper holder cobbled up at the back of it? I've still got some rolls of telex paper in the loft, I think, although that printer has long since died and ...

As for the Yahoogroups thread, thanks for the link. For some reason I deregistered from the yahoogroup, but of course there is a valuable archive on there: the group does not turn up on searches within Yahoogroups, so the link is very useful. And for a second dose ...
... track in 7 mm is better than H0/00 track is it worth the effort. With rail at 2.70 per meter £2.20 when bought at 100 lengths at a time) and a yard at £6 is it cost effective in£ 's let alone when you add in your own time? I have used copperclad/metal spacers to lift rail above the sleepers when building turnouts in and around the common crossing, to simplify the common crossing building whilst still using chairs. Works very well I might add posted: 11 May 2015 15:46 from: Templotter Thanks Hayfield for the reply. Very glad to hear someone has done this. Yes I fully intend to use flexi track but would like the increased strength for pointwork quite apart from the reduced hassle threading the myriad of chairs used. What material/thickness did you use for spacers? Thanks again, Don posted: 11 May 2015 17:13 from: Hayfield Don If you are not going to use chairs why use spacers? just use a piece of plasticard under the turnout ...
... topic: 2793 extend/shorten to meet background template posted: 26 Nov 2015 11:05 from: Martin Wynne I'm working on a new extend/shorten to meet function, primarily as an aid to using the make transition functions. The intention is that the original templates can be automatically adjusted for length to fit the new transition template. This will avoid the tedious business of zooming in to do that manually. Likewise when adjusting the underlying templates after make diamond-crossing at intersection. The new function will also be useful in other circumstances where the position of a template boundary needs to be moved, for example to enable a turnout to be inserted. Or where a gap or overlap needs to be eliminated, for example before using the roll rails to match function. At present such tasks have to be done manually. It is working quite well (within sensible limits). But I'm uncertain how much misalignment to allow before reporting an error in the original template alignments. In the process I have produced this alert dialog: 2_260617_500000000.png I'm aware ...

... topic: 1163 Dimensions of Pre-Grouping Points and Crossings posted: 11 Jul 2010 20:34 from: phileakins Due to a small boy having grown into a much larger version and wanting his own room to himself, I have been forced to embark on a large scale tidy up of the railway stuff I have had squirrelled away in there for years. During the process I (re-)discovered an article by Philip Millard, titled as above, in the HMRS Journal of Jan/Mar 1994, Volume 15 No1, ISSN 0963-195X. In diagrams and tables the author sets out data from British Railway Track (1963) relating to straight cut switches, but more importantly has reproduced data from The Platelayers' Handbook of 1901 over five pages covering most common turnout varieties and junctions. The 1963 (and earlier versions) book comes up quite regularly on e-bay, but I imagine the Handbook is as rare as hen's teeth so the article is invaluable! I suppose the magazine's quite rare as well now. PM me if ...

When you say the .mov and .mp4 files lack crispness, do you mean they look like this, or not as bad on a Mac? mov_video_sample.png Whatever, it's not a solution because of the massive file size, and the lack of interactive capability. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Mar 2015 00:11 from: Dave Summers Hi Martin It looks very similar.

... topic: 2803 Recovery and reusing 4mm scale copperclad track posted: 11 Dec 2015 12:43 from: 4railsman I have recovered a lot of 4mm scale code 75 copperclad track and pointwork that I built in the late 1970's~ a lot of it being 4-rail to depict the London Transport scene, particularly the Metropolitan Line and it's A-Stock. This was at a time when no-one modelled LT, so I was alone and decided to build my layout using copperclad built track and to model the conductor rails "above running rail height" to mimic the prototypical situation~ and in the (probably mistaken) hope that I may one day find a way to actually use the conductor rails to power the models direct. That was fine until some years ago, EFE brought out their tube stock which I then wanted to run, and the only way I could achieve that with a small powered motor bogie was by using 12mm dia wheels in order to clear the motor housing between the wheels. After recently buying the LT Musuem's new ...
... slip rails and vees in place. My question is, where do I go from here? With a simple turnout the order of construction is fairly obvious and I would continue in a way that allows me to gauge each new added rail from those already in place. Maybe I can't see the obvious, but it's not clear to me what the best order of assembly is to ensure that I can always gauge new rails from existing ones. What's your recommended order for building one of these? Nick posted: 6 Mar 2011 11:24 from: Paul Boyd Hi Nick If you have a look at my website at http://www.paul-boyd.me.uk then go to the "Rural Railfreight" page, you'll see a photo sequence of a slip in build. In this instance, I started with one slip rail and one Vee to ensure alignment with a turnout leading in to the slip, then the second Vee, and then work out from that. This method means that I worked across the formation. If I was building a slip in ...

198. Elevation
... -Note that I'm not talking about the extreme gradients that Hornby Dublo, amongst others offered. My basic question is:- If Templot is used to create plans for a multi-level network how much 'fettling' would be required? For example I've observed that many large models use spirals to transition from one level to another. At sensible gradients could native Templot allow for a change in gradient? My suspicion is not, but how far out would one practically be? (Piece of string)? regards Dave posted: 11 Mar 2018 13:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Templot is neither 2D nor 3D. It is referenced to the rail top, so that the printed output can be used as a construction template. In other words, the length of a turnout is the same regardless of whether it will be laid horizontal or on a gradient. For a 3D representation it would need to be shortened in the 2D plan view if laid on a gradient, like this (gradient greatly exaggerated for clarity): 2_110741_270000000.png Which would ...

So, for example, if you set a silly length of 2" ...
