Martin. posted: 15 Jul 2013 11:48 from: Fishplate42 Hi Martin, I can understand the guy's frustration. If it don't 'click' it can be a nightmare trying to understand what you are doing wrong. I paid for a licence a few years ago and after a computer upgrade have downloaded the free version. I have not used it much but am just getting to grips with it- so far so good. With other programs I have got stuck with, it always helps me if I can find someone to actually show me face to face what I need to do. It is the little things that get missed trying to do it remotely. So far I am very pleased with my progress and a slow methodical approach ...
... just over 5 feet. The difficulty with the footprint is caused by needing to give the second set of blades room to open. The only alternative might be a genuine three way with the blades all together.

What would a genuine 3 way look like...if I haven't exhausted your goodwill yet. Yours Richard posted: 27 Jul 2009 11:04 from: Alan McMillan Hi Richard Here's a genuine three way. I've had to increase the largest radius to prevent the smallest from reducing too much. The length is slightly increased as the smallest turnout's crossing rail was in danger of fouling with one of the check rails. See what you think.

... of 113mm. Unfortunately this is one of those compromises that are not acceptable by the modellers as they are trying to stay true to the original plans, which have a 6ft way, as St Ives was the last broad gauge station to be completed, but still with a view to the "big change-over" which was immanent. I am sure there is a setting in the custom turnout or linked to the turnout geometry — but I have just been unable to locate it. regards Keith posted: 5 Apr 2015 11:03 from: John Shelley keithj15 wrote: Hi Alan, This was my first thought too, being that it was easy, and during the setting up of the custom settings Templot "suggested" adjacent widths in excess of 113mm.

... extended Awrhyllgwami Quarry fiddle yard requires a D12 scissors on a 48" radius curve as per the trackplan in the simplified box file (none of the extra Vees have been added). An alternative to this is to slide one pair of crossovers along so that the outer pair lie toe to Vee as per the upper plan in the box file. Is there anything inherently better about either approach? Will one design lead to better running? Or are both design doomed before we start? Thanks. Attachment: attach_917_1270_D12_options.box 369 posted: 11 Oct 2010 17:03 from: JFS Just had a quick look- couple of comments. On your top option, the switches come "inside" the checks for the common crossings- when you open it out it takes up a fair bit of length. On the Scissors option, there might be issues of how to adequately check the vees for the two "inner" points, as they lie almost opposite the vees for the centre diamond especially given how fine they are. Either option would need switched Ks I ...

... mean where the blades that form the diamond move like on turnouts, to set the route? From a construction point of view do these have to be be constructed in any specific way? That's right. In fact they are a lot easier to build, being little more than two short turnouts toe-to-toe. The only downside being the need for two extra point motors, fitted very close together. So some thought needed on the baseboard framing in that area. regards, Martin. posted: 12 May 2016 11:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rich, I managed to fit in an outside slip road, but it is down to 49" radius which is getting towards the sensible bottom limit for main line 0 gauge: 2_120606_510000001.png 2_120606_500000000.png An outside slip involves far more partial templates than an inside slip, because it requires two additional V-crossings.

... 1:32 switches used here. But that can have radius consequences if the slip is curved. However, you don't really need any of this at present. Like timber shoving, it is a waste of effort adding slip switches and slip roads to a diamond-crossing until the track planning is finalised (except perhaps to check that the radius will be acceptable). Add the slip roads when you are sure the diamond-crossing is not going to be changed. regards, Martin.

Just one question though. I have opened the file and the slip appears no problem but there is a red light warning on the information panel that the turnout radius is just 18".

... topic: 1075 Fooling around with different methods of track construction posted: 11 Mar 2010 17:44 from: polybear (Apologies if anyone has seen this on RMWeb also) Hi, I'm currently experimenting with different methods of trackmaking, to see what I like best and to learn the techniques. I've previously made a turnout using plastic components, but it wasn't too successful first time round (my fault). I've also been experimenting with Masokits etched brass chairs and pcb sleepers (pretty reasonable, very strong, looks reasonable but does take time). I'm now onto pcb trackwork (very strong, fast, but attaching chairs is a pain because they are too high due to the rail sitting directly on the sleeper). Now I've just tried ply and rivet, which I do like; however again there are problems attaching chairs because the size of the rivet head means the chair half is held away from the rail, even though I'm using the smaller copper rivets with 2mm diameter head. Any suggestions with regard to fitting half chairs to pcb ...

I sent an order at the beginning of the week and they might be processing it, but I have not had any acknowledgement either to the email, or to a follow up phone call. In both I asked them to contact me to confirm receipt, but no response. It is a bit worrying as the order had all my card details on it. Is this how Exacto normally deal with orders?

... for me of course. It works well on code 75 BH rail. Rob posted: 26 Mar 2011 20:54 from: JFS Chaps, I don't want to be doing the EMGS or anyone else out of business, but come on, it is not beyond the wit of Man to make your own! Here are some pics of mine- it is just made up of bits of hardwood and brass and is adaptable to make switch tongues (As Bs and Cs) and vees from 1:1 to 1:11 and every fraction in between. I think the principle is fairly self explanatory from the pics, though there are a few little dodges to enable a curved switch to result. One important point for me is the size of my file- it is a 14" bastard cut. I also have a 14" smooth cut for finishing. I am only showing one bit of rail in the pics, but when doing the BACKS of switch tongues you can do three pairs at a time. Obviously, doing the gauge face ...
... topic: 897 First plan under Templot, 98% done but.... posted: 11 Jul 2009 13:18 from: BruceNordstrand Hi all I finally sat down with Templot long enough to try the software "in anger" which resulted in the attached plan. I have to revert to my older plan again due to my lovely wife taking up duathlon racing requiring part of my garage to become a racing bike storage and maintenance area. I have no idea if I did this correctly but it turned out pretty much like I wanted it, that is to print full size and build my turnouts in place without the need to standard templates. A couple of the turnouts have slight curves and others are "inbetween" sizes (ie not #5, #6 etc)- BTW, I model US track hence the numbers. Attached to this message is an image of the plan in Templot. The 2% that I am not happy with is the two turnouts in the lower left corner at the end of the coke ovens. ...

... impossible to wean folk off cheap subsidised food- hence the enormous sales of '2 for a fiver' chickens and the associated animal cruelty. I have to say that 4mm modellers are of a similar outlook. 'Fed' on components produced by 'kitchen table' manufacturers, sold at a price which did/does not equate to a commercial rate, I do seriously doubt if they would be prepared to pay an economic cost for these items.

As an alternative to switching the "grid in front" option off, you could try (on the background shapes dialog) doing font/colours tab> pad shapes line width> 2.

I'm not convinced that the majority of users would connect it to 16.5mm track, and even then only for a few of the templates. A lot of users will be constructing 16.2mm plain track, if not for the entire layout then ...
