... the position of each timber. On most railways, centralized timbering is the norm with the equalized-incremental timbering style. Ends-in-line is the norm with the square-on timbering style. Templot sets these for you when you change the style. In practice, although plain track sleepers are usually neatly aligned, in turnouts (especially in yards and sidings) the timber ends can sometimes be all over the place. Templot has a randomizing function to create that, real> timbering> timbering data... 2_050721_060000000.png Try setting the end-randomizing to 3 or 4 inches. Then hold down the F12 key to watch the timbers dance. You can change the settings from a subtle variation to full narrow-gauge crazy track. (Changing the timbering style clears the randomizing settings.) Note that if you use this function, you must print as many copies of the template as you will need all at the same time. The timbering will be different next time. cheers, Martin. posted: 5 Sep 2020 12:40 ...
