From a 3D printer perspective, the bigger the better. Based on your information it looks as if I'm not too far off. BTW, in case you had not already guessed, ... re-use any of the timber/chair blocks without changing the position and/or alignment of the chairs on the timbers? Hi Andy, The answer is yes. regards, Martin. Hi Martin, I hope this isn't beginning to sound a bit like Twenty Questions Am I correct in thinking that the timbers in a turnout are spaced along the center-line of the main road and that the spacings do not change as the turnout is curved? Looking at what Templot does that seems to be the case, but ...
... might be suitable?). Or maybe the other way round, adding a bit of stone ballast here and there? I'll try an experiment or two with some oddments of track before I commit to a particular approach. Kind regards Andrew posted: 6 Aug 2018 08:10 from: Andrew Duncan I'm back from a great week at Missenden. Below is a photo of my progress there. In the photo you can see that I've almost finished ballasting and the rather disjointed look is because I'm trying to have the main lines ... weight carried on its drivers and it's likely to have better contact with the rails too, so go for it. As I'm lazy I'm always looking for shortcuts. My current "project" is to butcher modify an old tender drive Duchess to allow it to haul twenty coaches. It won't have a lot of suspension. Basically it will be an 0-4 -0 thinly disguised as a Pacific. I'll post a link if I can get it to work. Cheers! Andy posted: 9 Oct 2019 05:06 ...

The objection, which most naturally suggests itself, against this plan, is, the probable decay of the plug within the chair. We find, however, plugs remaining quite good, upon old railways, which have been in use upwards of twenty years. Little doubt can, therefore, exist as to their durability within the blocks; and the heads being cut off, level with the top of the hole in the chair, and covered with tar, if made with good oak, they will be ...

Regards Tony posted: 12 Jul 2013 08:50 from: Richard_Jones Hi Tony, It's actually a double slip- in reality it was dead straight from there right up to West Dean Tunnel, but I've curved the whole lot to get it in the "available"* space. The track was ... reduced to nine roads and the roof converted to a northlight. I would have thought that the actual tracks would have been replaced since being first laid in the 1880s (a bit like Trigger's broom in 'Only Fools..'- he had the same broom for twenty years and in that time only had five new handles and four new brushes!). I'm hoping that the timbers were replaced as I'm standardising on 8'6". I'm open to being corrected by those 'what know'. Re wartime damage, the sheds themselves ...
... topic: 3228 Fresh air and photos posted: 24 Feb 2018 21:08 from: Martin Wynne As I've mentioned once or twice, my interest when not Templotting is landscape photography. It gets me some fresh air and exercise away from the computer. The results won't win any prizes, but I like them and looking back through my photos over the years is a pleasant way to spend an hour or two on a grey winter's day. I've been in the habit of posting them occasionally on RMweb, but I don't see any reason not to post them here. Here's the best of today's crop. It was a nice sunny day, but my fingers were too cold to work the camera controls properly so I didn't stay out long. astley_mud_1280x800.jpg camera at SO 78670 67837 I swear that pylon wasn't there when I pressed the shutter.

So, if you're interested you'll find them at http://grotsoft.net/Railways/Templot/InterlacedSleeperTurnouts.aspx cheers Stewart posted: 7 Apr 2008 18:32 from: Martin Wynne Stewart McSporran wrote: I've written up some notes on how I create interlaced sleeper turnouts with Templot and posted them on my website. Hi Stewart, Excellent. Many thanks for taking the trouble to do that. But please note that Templot has a function to put the timber ends in line, you don't need to do it manually: ends_in_line.png Normally centralized timbering is used when timbers are skewed (equalized timbering), and timber ends are in line when timbers are square (square-on timbering). But Templot doesn't make this change for you (perhaps it should?), and you can use either option with whichever timbering style you prefer or in accordance ...

I though it was possible to do that but starting Templot using my saved prefs file doesn't pick up changes I made in the previous session. Opening the .sk1 file show a section like this :- -- -- -- -- print output: -- -- -- -- 08-00s=| Arial 08-01i=6 08-02i=0 08-03b=0 08-04b=0 08-05b=0 08-06b=0 08-10f=288 08-11i=9492696 08-12i=11567184 08-15i=0 08-17b=1 08-18b=0... etc etc Does that not refer to changes I have made on the output menu?

... topic: 3685 Kyle of Lochalsh- comments welcome posted: 31 May 2020 08:06 from: Julian Roberts Hi I've made a track plan for my intended layout, drawn exactly on the map as far as I am able. I wonder if this is as satisfactory as I think it is!? It's all done using the "beginner" tools but it looks fine to me- or maybe there are some improvements that can easily be made before I start actually making the trackwork? The only thing I know needs to be done (apart from finishing plotting one track into the shed) is putting in missing timbers on the 3 way turnout. I don't know if I can attach more than one file. I'll post again with the other file that Templot sent to my computer at the same time.

... from: Ariels Girdle Depends on the wheels you plan to use for the stock. Much modern NG stock (eg Bachmann) has relatively fine flanges that will run through pointwork to P4 standards (I have tried!). If you already have stock then maybe best to do your own testing as few people actually do this sort of thing and all probably have a different variety of stock. posted: 10 Sep 2019 12:54 from: RedgateModels Good point, at lease one NG loco will be using a Farish "08" chassis, so pretty old wheel specs. posted: 10 Sep 2019 14:32 from: Martin Wynne Narrow-gauge modellers often use the wheels and track standards from a smaller scale. For example 009 models at 4mm/ft typically use N gauge wheels. It defies logic to build a model where the wheels are to a different scale from the rest of the model, but it is a popular way to build a working narrow-gauge layout. Until that is, you want to build mixed-gauge ...

As always, I'm really grateful for your help, but I wouldn't expect anyone to do that for me as the last 10% of tweaking could take days on it's own. It's just one of those things that has to be absolutely right. Visual appearance Is so subjective and we all have our own idea of what looks right.

... in kitchen towel and place on radiator to dry thoroughly. Then paint sides of rail rust coloured! If you have to build in-situ, after construction clean track with well soaked cotton wool balls wetter with meths. Or as suggested elsewhere use Carrs 179 solder in a syringe which does not need cleaning afterwards, resin based flux. One syringe (though expensive) goes a long long way and allows you to put the precise amount of solder exactly where you want it.... Steve posted: 24 Feb 2011 08:10 from: Jim Guthrie I've been using a paste flux for the past few years for soldering and, to date, residue has never left any oxidisation. I did a particular test on a brass coach underframe about ten years ago, leaving a lot of flux residue on the metal, and that has shown no sign of any oxidisation in all that time. I built a good few yards of PCB sleepered N scale track using it and nothing untoward has shown up in the past two years. I have to ...
