Dear all, I have received this email from Allan Smith at the Telford Steam Railway . He has made available for download some very useful drawings and data -- many thanks Allan. He is also looking for someone to create a Templot track plan of their yard at Telford. Anyone here local to Telford? Allan can be contacted (as the webmaster) at: http://www.telfordsteamrailway.co.uk/contacts.php Allan writes: I recently came across Templot quite by accident. regards, Martin. |

Hi All, I used to live in Telford about 5 minutes from the railway, in fact I walked past their yard every day walking my dogs. Recently however I have moved to France (45 km North West of Paris) so it's not quite so convenient now. They also have a 5" gauge miniature railway there and I discussed Templot with one of the guys who was involved with that, in fact they were going through some track replacement and installation of some 3 way turnouts and mentioned just how difficult it was to get the alignment correct. Of course I mentioned Templot and they seemed really interested in it's capability to generate prototypical flowing trackwork. Regards, Jim |

.......... We should be grateful to Allan for this sort of information, and I would not therefore like to be thought ungrateful if I venture to disagree (particularly with someone actively involved with the real thing). But is it not the case that straight cut switches, as found on fairly early track have, as the name implies, no radius other than the radius of the main line? Allan Ferguson P.S. I'm glad to see he spells his first name properly! |
