... if the V crossing angle is greater than 1:8. I am using Templot Dev 2.05.b. OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-60 processor. Gauge is set to EM 18.2mm. I created a new template, REA B-8 Left hand turnout 10 Chains Radius. I then changed the V Crossing angle to 1:9. I then did tools> make simple crossover. Then template> convert turnout to half-diamond. The check rails and gap that should be produced at the point where the two half diamonds would meet are not generated. In the attached box file the two lower sets of track are from a 1:9 regular and generic turnout and have not produced the check rails, whereas the top one is 1:8 and has. 32_151949_370000000.png Attachment: attach_1446_1960_DiamondCrossings .box 301 Last edited on 16 May 2012 00:53 by Andrew Fendick posted: 16 May 2012 01:00 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Fixed K-crossings are not prototypically correct at angles flatter than ...
182. Transition links
... topic: 3812 Transition links posted: 10 Nov 2020 08:06 from: Graham Long Hi I have grappling with transition links. I have sucessfully produced an easement. I how want to link a transition between to plain track templates. I.e. I want to produced a link between a 1400mm radius plain track and a 2500 plain track. I have tried to follow Martin's video but it is linking two turnout templates. Do I have to make both templates turnouts to link them and then make them plain track again after having done so? So far I have made one of the templates a turnout and split off the approach road, but I am not clear on how to make this a dummy template as described. Then you are required to make a branch line from the other template. However, I think I would have to make this a turnout template as well. Could anybody clarify this for me. Thanks posted: 10 Nov 2020 11:15 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi, Graham I believe it is impossible to resolve your problem ...

... 25 Sep 2014 21:11 from: scooter171103 hopefully this one has the bgs file Attachment: attach_1960_2539_scanned_plan.bgs 274 posted: 25 Sep 2014 21:34 from: Martin Wynne Hi Simon, For the BGS file to work you need to post the SK81 image file as well. You will find it in the same folder as the BGS file. I normally recommend that beginners don't try to work over a scanned plan until they have learned the basics of Templot. It is actually quite tricky to get an exact match to a plan produced by other means, if you are not sure of all the options in Templot. This page may help: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?swell_function_ctrl_f10.htm As Tony explained, that length of track will need to be at least two templates. Start off by doing tools> make branch track on the turnout template. Curve it to create the first part of the S-curve. Then create the lower straight track separately, and make it a transition curve template. adjust the transition to get the right ...

... increase of 4ft or 16mm to 60.67mm centre spacings. For the red template, I increased the spacing to 60.67mm and then created the crossover (tools> make simple crossover). For the yellow template, I left the spacing at the pre-set 44.67mm and created double track. For the purple template so created, I then applied geometry> slew (nudge) and in new slew settings I set the slew amount to 16mm. Now the slewing zone length and position needs adjusting (by mouse action is easiest) to produce a more gradual change. In curved track such as this, for the greatest accuracy at the join the slewing zone should end at the template boundary. It may be worth moving the boundary or splitting templates to achieve this (not necessary in straight track). If the length of the template is appropriate the slewing zone can be quickly set to match the full length, using geometry> slew (nudge)> change slewing zone length> match length to template menu item. Here's the result of that on this example ...
... small to fit the other dimensions. The minimum that could possibly fit is 1325 inches radius, which would be effectively tangential with the stock rail and non-prototypical in the sense that the blade tip would be so thin and slender it would be damaged by the first wheel to run over it. Assuming you wish to retain the 136 inches lead and 7 inches offset, I suggest a radius of 3 chains or 2376 inches full size. At 1:48 scale that scales to 49.5" radius in the model, and produces a good result for 1:6 and 1:7 turnouts at 16.5mm gauge. Alternatively for a smaller radius you need a shorter switch, i.e. reducing the 136 inches dimension. For a short curved switch, aim for a deflection angle at the tip of around 1:40 to 1:50. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Aug 2014 12:52 from: keithj15 Hi Martin I tried to work out the dimensions from info from Peco and by measuring the print of their ref sheet I downloaded. ...

188. Outside Single Slip
... the feasibility of the layout in terms of space and geometry. I have searched the forum for previous requests for help in creating an outside single slip and found a few topics. I did find one almost complete template that someone had created, but with the wrong crossing angles for my use. I had already used my paper templates and created a formation that I felt was acceptable and so I have decided to stick with the crossing angles on the template I have. If someone would be kind enough to help me out by producing a template in templot of the C&L template, I would be most grateful. I can just about manage a conventional single/double slip by following the tutorial but am clueless as to how I would go about doing this. Thanks in advance.

190. Single slips
... topic: 3814 Single slips posted: 11 Nov 2020 15:59 from: Graham Long HiI have been playing around slips to-day and yesterday. I had been following the tutorial/videos on the matter. I then found the make slip in tools. I then pressed make single slip. It has produced the slip I wanted in one go. Therefore I am wondering why I should do make ladder etc.etc. I have uploaded the image of what I have done. The problem that I see is that the slip and turnout timbers dont line up with the plain track sleepers.Is it due to the complications associated it be on a transition curve, or it not being P4?

... topic: 2273 tandem turnouts again posted: 27 Jul 2013 12:26 from: stuart1600 I've been following the guidance in Martin's reply to Richard T. back in 2011 to produce the middle V-crossing for a tandem turnout; using Templot2. Unfortunately I must be misreading something because I can't get this to work as it appears it should from the guidance notes. I've also read the recent exchanges re:Brighton tandems, but still can't work out what I'm doing wrong. I've positioned the peg using CTRL-F8 on the intersection of the two rails and put the notch on the peg. I've created a new template with the crossing at 1:12 (it's obviously going to be much more than that anyway), curviform, and gaunt options selected as per instructions. I then peg this to the notch (using the *multiply key). The notes then suggest using F6 to adjust the curvature to match the underlying template- but it's obvious that the control template is not aligned over the background template(s) at all ...

I appreciate that there is no intention to make a Mac version of Templot itself, but why oh why does it have to be so difficult to access the training materials? Hi Ade, At the time of the first public release of Templot in 1999, Windows was the utterly dominant OS on home computers. Having produced software for Windows only, it didn't seem unreasonable to provide support material for Windows only. It is now too late to go back and start again -- my brain has lost too many grey cells, my eyes get sore looking at a computer screen for too long, my back complains about sitting at a computer for too long. Over to someone else to write a Mac version of Templot -- how about you? But you can watch the EXE videos on a Mac or Linux with Crossover/Wine. Maybe ...

... from View, Movie Size, Fit To Window then the Full Screen option within the player window I get a fully functioning video. However if I go to the Maximise button instead it opens at full screen but freezes and will not function. Hi Trevor, On Ubuntu I'm seeing the opposite. Maximise and Minimise work fine, the only issue being that on restore from Minimise the player loses focus and needs to be clicked on before the spacebar will work. On the other hand, any attempt to use the Full Screen option produces strange results, maximised or otherwise. The menu bar disappears entirely (losing the much needed Jump To contents list), the slider toolbar disappears and reappears seemingly at random, and the video frames repeatedly re-size themselves. My guess is a muddle between the size of the client area of the window and the full size window over the borders. My advice to Ubuntu users wanting a full screen view would be to drag the window as large as possible, leaving the borders visible, and then select the Fit to ...
... that some of the curves are still too tight and the track spacing is too large. The file 'Layout templates 19 Feb.bgs' in the file; http://perso.orange.fr/brian.tuckey/Templot files.zip is therefore only a guide. At the bottom of the diagram you can see the junction layout that precipitated this thread and I overlaid track as can be seen from the file; 'New Layout_07_07_09_0155_32.box'. However, after my initial posting I calculated that the space between the junction and where the terminal track passes over the mainline would produce an unacceptable gradient. I model in P4 so no traction tyres! I therefore produced a second design as can be seen in 'New Layout rev2_07_07_09_1753_51.box'. I believe that this is more accommodating and provides the height/gradient profile required. I am modelling OHLE so a larger than normal height clearance is necessary. To the left of the junction you can see the return curve which was the topic of an earlier question. Thanks for your help and all suggestions/criticisms are welcome. Cheers, Brian posted: 15 Aug ...
197. curved crossings
... 24 from: Trevor Schofield It would be really good if it were possible to make a curved crossing by just overlaying two pieces of plain track at the required angle and then pressing a function button to convert them to a crossing. I've been finding that in making half crossings and converting them to full crossings that the "entry angle" is different from the "exit angle" and so has to be adjused. When the angle of crossing is getting towards 1:2.5 or so, then the curves do not match to produce a smooth passage through the crossing. I'm fairly new to Templot( just about to retire and new to modelling too) so I'm probably missing something really obvious. This is a great forum by the way. Very impressed and a little overawed by the depth of knowlege of some of the contributers and their willingness to help, and also the patience of Martin. It would also be great to have a tutorial/video of a double crossover( when I was a kid we called them scissors- is this correct? ...
