Martin, Back in the depths of time (19/08/01), you posted a file: "File : /Martin_odds_and_ends/s4p4_ds_8_on_1524mm.box Uploaded by : 85amod@... Description : P4 double-slip/switch diamond 1:8 on 1524mm (60") radius. Inner slip radius 37". Outer slip radius 158". Timber spacings per BRT. Slip switches eased to 1:36 planing because of the sharp curve. Select as a group and use the notch-linked functions to position. You can access this file at the URL "http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/files/Martin_odds_and_ends/s4p4_ds_8_on_15 24mm.box" Unfortunately, this link no longer exists and I'd really like to use the template. Is it still available somewhere? Neil |

NeilD wrote: Martin,Hi Neil, That's going back a bit.  It would have been created in an old version of Templot without the option of half-diamond templates, which would have been done as customized turnout templates instead. No doubt I deleted it when half-diamonds were added in later versions, as that file would no longer be properly representative of the Templot functionality. I should have it still somewhere in my backup files, but why would you want it? You can create a much better template using the latest 091c version of Templot. Put the first 1:8 half-diamond on the 1524mm radius, and then follow the slip tutorial at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/pug_slips.htm regards, Martin. |

Martin, I tried the tutorial and ended up with a very nice looking template which bears very little relation to what I actually wanted. I would like to reconstruct an old trackplan which got lost when upgrading computers (from a PC to a Mac - the trackplan went out with the destroyed PC Hard-drive). If you find the time and can trawl through your backups and find it, I'd be most grateful. Regards, Neil Martin Wynne wrote: NeilD wrote:Martin,Hi Neil, |

Martin, Sorry, lost the body of my original mail: trying again... Back in the depths of time (19/08/01), you posted a file: "File : /Martin_odds_and_ends/s4p4_ds_8_on_1524mm.box Uploaded by : NeilD wrote: Martin, |

As it's 1:8 on a curve I think it ought to be a switch diamond, as before. I will do it now -- hang on. regards, Martin. |

Thanks Martin, It might only take you five minutes but it took me at least two hours spread over 3 sessions to follow the tutorial:-) !! Neil |

Hi Neil, Box file attached. P4 - DS8 - on 1524mm. 8ft-6in timbering. Movable K-crossings (switch-diamond). 1:40 switch planing (as C switches). Bullhead - common 14" middle timber. Minimum radius is 897mm (35") -- may need a little gauge-widening. Timbering is generic -- may need some slight shoving if you have a specific prototype. Full-size images are in the Image Gallery : 2_161352_100000000.png  2_161353_170000000.png  regards, Martin. |
