The disadvantage with square-on is that some rails are at a significant angle to the timbers. The chairs or baseplates at the V-crossing must fit the ...

I'm trying to work out the logic of the asymmetric chair. Had the jaws been at the inboard end of the joint, I might have thought that it would have allowed even spacing of sleepers through the joint, facilitating mechanical tamping, but I would be staggered if the NB had that in mind. The thoughts of others would be illuminating.

... someone else might come up with a different design, possibly using the equalized style of timbering, and/or possibly using an extra long timber. In Templot you can add extra timbers as bonus timbers. cheers, Martin. posted: 5 Jan 2020 19:11 from: DerekStuart Jason, We've all been through that sudden jolt when we realise it's not as simple as we thought.

I designed a crossover once and it followed all the rules above, but when I showed it to an ex track operative, his comments about how difficult it would be to maintain were not kind.

... I think I have reached a point where I'm limited by the printing technology itself. The results are actually a lot better than I thought they might be when I started out. Anyway, I've been making some wild guesses about chair dimensions, and I have not had a lot of luck finding anything on the Web. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

The shed for the layout was quite a challenge. not having ever built anything this size from scratch before(22' x 11') I thought at various points over the last year (I started it in August 2014) that I'd bitten off more then I could chew. But I seem,with quite some help from my middle daughter Jeanne, to have almost got there now. It's even got power and heating in it but as you can see from the interior shot, with a work bench and a band saw, there isn't room to finish the baseboards which will go down the centre of the room!

... That's an amazing record. How long have you been doing them? I have a login on there, but I haven't logged in for ages. The last time I looked they were in the middle of a web site upgrade, but that seems to have been abandoned? I've been intending to put more of mine on there, but it is quite time-consuming to locate an accurate grid reference, and find something meaningful to say in the caption. I can't imagine how many hours you must have spent uploading and captioning 11,000+ images. I need a camera which puts the GPS data in the EXIF data. Most mobile phones do that, but its rare in full size cameras. I have a handheld GPS with bluetooth, but no bluetooth on the camera. However it seems I can pair the camera with my mobile phone and get GPS data that way. I intend to get better teched-up for this year's wanderings. Thanks for the Devils Bridge ref. Next time I'm that way I shall definitely have a look. ...

... topic: 2594 Modelling 15inch gauge RH&DR posted: 11 Dec 2014 14:44 from: TPP Hi guys I am new here and I am afraid I will need to be asking lots of questions not only about Templot but also real track work- and unusual trackwork at that. I am considering modelling something based on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway which is of course a 15" gauge railway. I will be be building in 1:22.5 scale using a model gauge of 16.5mm- probably using Peco code 100 rail. I have some books on the railway and my first problem is trying to understand the descriptions of the turnouts- they are described as follows... Originally 1 in 8 crossing and 7' switches Later changed to 1 in 10 with 9' switches... The problem is I don't really know what that means and I am going to need to know if I have any chance of drawing them in Templot I know the sleeper sizes and have some idea of the sleeper spacings and have managed to draw ...

... topic: 1073 Flexible Switches in N Gauge posted: 11 Mar 2010 09:04 from: kenbec I have decided to standardise with all of my switches using flexible points (not loose-heel) if this is technically feasible. Before I go any further on this basis I would like answers to the following if possible. 1. Would these switches be structurally sound or is there likely to be distortion in the points because of the light structure of the metal used. (Peco code 80 nickel silver)? 2.Has anyone used this point structure on their layout and if so which point motors have you used? I am replacing Peco Switches which are operated by either Peco or SEEP motors, both of which work satisfactorily on the Peco Switches but which I feel will be a bit sudden for what I want to do. Would these motors be powerful enough to bend the points to the necesseray curve and hold them in place? I suspect the locking mechanism would fail. Are there any recommendations for alternatives? 3.How are the tiebars attached? Obviously ...
... at least it's more like a CAD program. My real exasperation is that those who want Templot "more like Windows" never explain in detail what they actually want changed. The few suggestions that have been made invariably involve a significant reduction in functionality, and I'm not prepared to do that. If someone can tell me the standard Windows method to adjust the length of a transition zone while closely watching co-incidence on the radial centres -- I'll do it. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Mar 2009 09:11 from: Martin Wynne Howard wrote: Every time I load background shapes, I change the font/colours so the lines are of width 3& the colours different from the colours on the printed pages.

... topic: 2781 Advice for a virgin trackbuilder! posted: 9 Nov 2015 22:11 from: Jubilee42 Hello everyone I have decided to build my own turnouts on my proposed 4mm OO-SF LMS (MR) layout with plywood sleepers and pcb under the vee (frog). I am totally new to this and nobody nearby (in Denmark) builds track! I have spent the last months getting to know Templot, and have now decided that the time has come to take the plunge and actually build something! Here is the plan for the turnout I am going to try: 3033_091632_110000000.jpg There are all sorts of challenges with it for someone like me. For a start, there's a slight curve, and also the turnout worked best as a B-6.75. I have bought jigs from scalefour, but they only do the whole numbers. I am hoping I can file a size 7 and then file it to fit. It's not that I am really concerned about- no doubt I will be when I make it! The questions ...

I don't have thousands of files, but there are times when I want to find a particular point in a layout's development when time and date in the file name are not a great help, and it requires opening a string of files to find the correct one. This facility will knock that on the head.
