This is my first attempt at Templot.
I'm not sure if I've got timber spacing right where the track separates after the vee (see picture attached). Maybe I've missed a step or is that how I'ts supposed to be?

You're fine...that's how it looks before you shove the timbers to get them out of the way of others. Use the Real>Shove Timbers menu item to move/twist/resize them until everything fits nicely. See picture below of one I did earlier!

This should give you an idea of what to do.

Alan

Thanks Alan, got that one sorted now.

Useful to know for next time.

Hi Ray.
The timbering arrangement after the Vee crossing varies considerably according to company practice. Standard practice has for some time now been for the full length Timbers to finish one after the joint, so you need an extra one added to those shown in the picture. If however you are modelling pre grouping or even some of the  regions of the early BR period, it was quite common for the long timbers to cease much nearer to the crossing, normally once the special crossing chairs finished. The North Eastern region for one commonly did this.
Early pre group companies used standard sleepers throughout, see the NBR timbering topic for an example of this.

Hi Ray,

I have inserted your screenshot for you in your original message. You will see that I have put it in the Image Gallery at:

 http://85a.co.uk/forum/gallery_view.php?display=ALL#gallery_top

If you are using IE or Firefox there is a button just above where you are typing, labelled Upload new image for insertion. Just click it and follow the instructions to upload your image to the gallery and then insert it in your message.

If you are using other browsers, go to the gallery as above and then click the Upload images link on there. After uploading it you can copy the image into your message.

If you are using TDV there is a function to save screenshots directly -- output > export a screenshot... menu item.

We don't really want images as attachments as they clog up the database. The attachment function is intended for .box data files and similar. And you can have only one attachment per message. :)

regards,

Martin.

Hi Tony.
Thanks for the explanation, obviously more to this than first meets the eye. I've only used 'Peco' up to now so not had the choice. I'll have a look at the NBR Timbering topic.

Hi Martin.
Thanks for sorting out the picture, I'll upload the images the next time as you suggest.

Regards
Ray.

Hi Ray.
For more information on prototype track, go back up to the Templot club home page and look at the boxes on the right of the screen. Go down to the one headed Templot companion and select Real track. Whilst it does not cover timbering as such there is a lot of info on the prototype.
Also under Misc.
Tony.
