... 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 ...

... 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. ...

... way you would prefer people to use Templot I can see a lot of 'beginners' using it to join up templates scattered over the workpad- in a similar way to joining up the turnout 'paper' templates used to be done by many on the baseboards. That is assuming the beginner can find the menu and recognize the terminology Rob posted: 10 Aug 2019 00:58 from: John Palmer Very useful addition to the toolkit- looking forward to using this when the update comes around. Thank you, Martin. posted: 11 Aug 2019 13:03 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the comments. I've taken this a bit further, and included automatic trimming of the background template. It can be undone if not wanted using undo changes. Also the start position for a fillet radius can be selected with the peg, CAD-style.

... 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 ...
