... centre or right at the top, they give various options for routes through the formation, equivalent to a double slip. I messed around a bit in Templot and came up with a location for one on Ulpha. The plan is to build one off the layout and thoroughly test it.I shall use it on Ulpha. If I can ...

... to make up some very low numbered crossings, in the order of 1 in 1.5 etc., associated with diamond crossings. Despite multiple measuring of the Templot, confirmatory arithmetic and repeated double checks on the rail in my soldering jig, I am finding that once soldered the vee has reduced its ...

Just to say that the video has now been replaced with an animated infographic:

... Home signal and reveals whether it was rail-built or a lattice mast! A feature to note is that when you are building 19 West points (TR5306 on the Templot drawing) you'll need to extend the check rail towards the switch, and may wish to adjust your Templot drawing accordingly. As to the query about ...

This has repeatedly been the subject of Templot discussions - e.g. http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_topic.php?id=2278&forum_id=11 , which may also be of interest in the context of the Edington ...

Hi David, no as there was no link to refer it too. LOL. But I will look on the Templot site. Hi Keith. I didn't think I could find any images of the catch points on my chosen layout {Edington Junction} but low and behold here's one. By the looks of it it's a single ...

... up. Within this section there are three Catch Points to be constructed. I've never made a catch point before so need some advice please. On the Templot template it shows the catch point like the toe end of a normal turnout, is that correct? Basically a point terminating just after the switch ...

... small length of track on a spare piece of plywood so that I can learn the 'how to do it reasonably correctly'. Did a quick two track, two length, Templot template and stuck that down. Thought I'd try two options on sleepers - plastic and plywood, so one line of each duly glued down with PVA. Plywood ...

Ten members attended this lively evening. As it was a modelling evening, most brought some work to do. Nigel was producing a TEMPLOT plan, taken from an OS map, of his Cupar station with help from Tony Wilkins. David brought some wagons to work on and was helping new member Stephen Hefford ...

... to see where they are. I've made these joggles 3mm long so I concentrated on lining up with the set and stockgauge. I've got "into" Templot sufficiently to get to see different turnouts. It's very easy to use so far, with the tutorials very helpful too. I'm not pc savvy and haven't ...

Hi Julian,

Templot will print the template with joggles if you tick the box on the switch settings dialog:




cheers,

Martin.

Hi Keith, Thanks for the quick response, the layout will be dcc and the station will be all one district I think. I cheated with the Templot, I overlayed points to get what I wanted but did not remove duplicate rails so it is very messy, I am actually building off a Protofour template. I ...

Hi Tony,

There is a downloadable Templot file for a scissors crossover at:

(It's EM and curved, but will serve the purpose.)

... two outer stock rails then do the crossings, takes a lot of care to keep the gauge correct through the crossovers. If you have the drawing done, Templot? I can use it to show the required bonding and rail breaks. I will need to know if it is all one section (DCC) or if any section breaks are ...

... the rails on straight track prior to the turnout we will unlikely face any problem in P4. But with more interesting curving formations which Templot is designed to facilitate this is unlikely to be the case. I take your point haha Howard but have to say the joggles on the layout this is intended ...

... which is fine for that type where the full height isn't needed all the way to the tip. Maybe steel will take more filing etc? I think on Templot you can customize the joggle. I haven't learnt to use it. If I have a minimum 0.2mm blade at the tip, what happens to the joggle? By the way, ...

... sketch. Well the sketch is no longer on our website, though I do have it somewhere undiscoverable on my PC, but I'm pretty sure it shows, like the Templot drawing above, simply the joggle itself. The way it returns in a straight line to track gauge at the stockgauge is not sketchable except in ...

... the stockgauge and the end of the joggle is an area of uncertainty. If using a ruler the length between A and C will not abut the ruler. Here is a Templot A6LH with joggled stockrails. Screenshot_2019-05-19-10-57-14-1.png
