... topic: 1096 Just have to give kudos to Martin posted: 5 Apr 2010 05:40 from: BruceNordstrand Well, I have finally got the hang of things and am now going great guns on Templot. So far I have completed all the levels on my new RR- the town, staging, lower branch level and upper branch level. I have mastered (so to speak) the various transition options including playing with 1st and 2nd transition zones and the basics of track laying onto background scans. I probably do ... a marker colour on those templates, and then copy the same templates to chop up into partial templates, insert turnouts etc., Timbering always goes in last, and the "marker" templates get removed as I go along.

The layout was built using Peco and Tillg track which I thought would work. Well, it does, but i really want to replace the track with something that looks better. I know both makes of proprietary track aren't anything like scale measurements, but is there ... a GWR 10ft curved switch and a 1:6 curviform crossing gets close: 00sf_10ft_6_v_peco1.png See also the option of using 00-SF standards if you are handbuilding in 00 gauge: http://00-sf.org.uk regards, Martin. posted: 3 May 2010 13:45 from: roythebus Thanks Martin, I was trying to say I need something that will braodly replace the Peco points without having to alter basebaord joints, platforms and structures etc!

I've also completed all of the timber shoving, which is quite messy in places, mainly due to the baseboard joints, but it is certainly the tidiest I've been able to come up with. I'll wing a copy of the screen shot over to Photoshop later, and have a toy about with adding buildings and the like, i'll also post another reply in a moment, with an attachment of the shape file, which contains all the baseboard data (including support beams etc).

... Martin's idea of using 100mm wide board is good, you aren't going to need any timbers wider than that- just a shame that 3x34mm sleepers is a tad more than 100mm( the 4-SF guys should be laughing) Rob Rob, Probably a very long shot, but the gent who runs this place http://cloverhouse.com/Store/index.php?cPath=35_36 has a shear and he made me a lot of FR-4 timber strips to order. The widths were a little bit inconsistent to my mind ... tedium of folding the chairs is the only real down side. I find it best to fold them all up in a batch rather than do them individually as required.

... topic: 1281 Replacing a slew with transition curves posted: 8 Nov 2010 14:17 from: richard_t Hello I've managed to find another 1.5 meters for the fiddle yard for Manchester Windmill Street, and "permission" to route two of the lines through the camila bush rather than the one I currently thought I'd be able to do. This means that I can, eventually, have the two running lines out to the garden. I still want a siding leading to a cassette for the short term. As the siding ... peg align make transition. I then extended each end of the transition curve to meet fiddle and main and deleted the temporary fixed rad curves. Repeat for fiddle #2 and down main.

... lines weren't long enough and I was trying various commands to lengthen them all in one operation. From memory I tried modify all and then scale by...Random thought said scaling by 120% might make the lines longer.. Pressed the button and whoosh, they shot across the page and the rest is history. Thanks for your reply. I thought I could probably move them with a mouse action, but couldn't fathom out the command. Picked up on your tip re double track though and that lengthened the lines no problem ... the track bed edges as a guide. Is there a way of adding the radial lines to make accurate segments? You only need to be a fraction out on each of 12 pieces to find you have not made a true circle. posted: 9 Feb 2011 13:11 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Is there a way of adding the radial lines to make accurate segments?
