Hi, Starting to get to grips with things now - the make transition function has finally been de-mystified  Got to learn how to make some curved slips next.... and some irregular diamonds for all the crossovers at the station throat. Actually by about the '50s the lines curving off the to left were not used so much, apart from the "Kings" being attached to Southbound expresses that came in behinh usually a "Castle" or a "Hall" from Chester. Feel free to criticise, I'm still feeling my way and getting to learn the best way to "build" a plan up. Kind regards, Jim |

I've always loved the trackwork out of Wolverhampton low level, it's track formations that you just don't get anymore! Mighty impressive size you have there, is it to scale? Irregular diamonds tend to need the use of multiple partial templates, but I think Martin might have a way around that? Dave |

Hi Dave, Yes it was a fantastic layout, unfortunately as you say the accountants rule the planning now, not the engineers! It's drawn in 4mm scale over the 1919 trackplan, I'm going to have to rationalise a bit to fit in the actual space I have, but it's great to draw the full plan to actual scale. I'll do another one for the actual model. As has been said on many other threads, once you get your head out of "CAD mode" then Templot really starts to make sense. Great bit of software Martin Kind regards, Jim |
