Martin, Not sure if this has been picked up on before, but I am noticing spurious timbers appear when I convert a fixed K crossing diamond to a moveable K crossing diamond. I'll put up a screenshot later. Ian |

Hi Ian, No need for a screenshot. I'm aware that there are still some timbering issues following the generator changes for irregular diamonds. If you change to a switch-diamond for K-crossing angles shorter than about 1:6.5, Templot has no prototype information for the timbering and it needs some timber-shoving input from you to sort things out. I want to do something about the half-diamond timbering, but short of abandoning all prototype data and simply spacing the timbers evenly, the whole thing is a bit of a conundrum. The problem is made worse by having to allow the prototype/model flangeway option for the timber supporting the ends of the point rails for fixed K-crossings. Fortunately it can always be sorted out with some timber shoving, but ideally you shouldn't need to do that every time. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin, On the examples I have been looking at it was just a case of omitting the offending timbers. All were below 1:6. Ian |
