Hi Davey,
Select
Trackpad tab, then
Trackpad control template options then
Show timber numbers
(oh and experimental charing) and you get:-
Specifically for a Lefthand (LH) B8
Timber J2 contains
common S1J chairs, J1 contains
common S1, but could be
common S1J chairs if you have selected the
use all S1J chairs on switch front option.
In the case of a B8, timbers S1 to S6 are
common P chairs.
S7 to S10 timbers respectively contain
special 1PL,2PL,3PL,4PL chairs on the Turnout Side (TS), and 1PR,2PR,3PR,4PR on the Main Side (MS) stock rails.
Timbers S11 and T1 contain
common L1 chairs.
T2 contains two
common L1, and two
common S1 chairs.
Timbers T3 to T12 contain
common S1 chairs.
T13 has
common S1 chairs on the stock rails, and
common S1J on the switch rails.
Timbers X1-Z through to X5-B stock rails have respectively CCL,CC,CC,CC,CCR chairs.
It is best, in my opinion, to treat these as special, just in case you indulge in timber shoving, in which case the CCL and CCR chairs become
uncommon, so I just make up a raft containing these chairs, and as suggested by Martin originally I mark the outside edge of each chair plug with a marker pen to aid orientation after removing from raft as they are asymetrical.
Timber X1-Z also contains a
common L1 and a
common S1J chair.
In the
Templot world, the non-stock rails of timbers X2-Y through to X7-D contain the
special crossing chairs and are handed (LH B8 different to RH B8).
For the moment I just call these Y,X,A,B,C,D chairs respectively, although Martin has given them some
special codes to differentiate them from the
Real world
common B8 crossing chairs.
Make a raft specifically for the LH B8 for these, also mark along one side of the chair plugs with a marker pen before removal from raft, as it is essential to get these the right way round in the socket.
Stock rails on timber X6-C through to X8 have
common S1 chairs, in addition X8 has two
common L1 chairs.
Timber X9 has four
common S1J chairs.
Hopefully Martin will correct me if I have got anything wrong!
Hope this helps .
Steve
