Timber Lengths

Lancastrian · 26 October 2021

Martin,

I have just updated to Templot 2.29c and have come across a problem when adjusting timber lengths in a point.
A file from 2.29b is of a B8 point. Adjusting the timber lengths to be gradual produces the result below:

The B8 point below it, generated in the latest version of Templot is fine. I've checked some other .box files and they seem to be alright.

Hi Ian,

The reason for the odd timbers is that those timbers have been shoved. On the shove timbers dialog, click the restore all button. They will then return to normal.

p.s. Why do you want gradual timber increments? It makes an REA B-8 look very odd. It's not prototypical for UK pointwork, where crossing timbers are stocked at the timber yards in 6" length increments. The Templot option is intended only for matching turnouts to commercial set-track pointwork such as Peco.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

Ah, I hadn't realised they had been shoved in an earlier version. Apologies
Using gradual timber lengths as an example for a GOG Special Interest Group session this coming Thursday evening.
