Many thanks for posting the link. Regards, Howard. posted: 7 Aug 2012 10:00 from: Martin Wynne JFS wrote: The unanswered question is- why bullhead??? Hi Howard, Least expense I would think. The rails and fittings are probably refurbished material lifted from elsewhere, on new timbers. And using bullhead turnouts for renewal means they can be drop-in replacements for what was there before, requiring minimal disturbance to the existing sidings. The basic REA design for ...
... topic: 3601 Loading Templot on a new computer posted: 24 Jan 2020 16:02 from: Paul Scott I have just obtained a new computer after my old one gave up. Having downloaded Templot from the Internet I am unable to access my existing layout files. The file box just says they are all empty. Could anyone tell me how to get my existing files across to my new computer. Regards, Paul Scott posted: 24 Jan 2020 16:37 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, You need to copy your files from wherever you saved them on the old computer. By default that is in the C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\BOX-FILES\ and C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\SHAPE-FILES\ folders. The easiest way is to copy them onto a USB memory stick to transfer them. Put them in the same folders on the new computer. cheers, Martin. posted: 26 Jan 2020 23:02 from: Paul Scott Hello Martin, Thank you for your reply, your advise worked perfectly. Thanks again. ...
183. Code Formatting
... own way, and leave you (and others?) to set up this Jedi stuff any way you wish, and I will happily apply it to my code before posting it. It's all getting a bit much to think about on top of Templot2 and Templot3 and supporting users -- there's a request on RMweb tonight for help with setting Templot timber spacings for Swiss railways. Plus another release needed for Templot2 after a bug fix this afternoon. Feeling a bit weary today. cheers, Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2019 02:16 from: Graeme Martin Wynne wrote: Yes I can live with that.

... to it? And also increasing the gauge on curves- what sort of radius would you need before this is a problem? Despite flange squeal on the real line out of Whitby, the radius looks pretty mild at 3300mm (12.4 chains) until you get past new bridge, where it is fitted. I am going up there in a couple of weeks time to do nothing but take photos of a pair of points and the curves. Thanks again for your guidance it really is appreciated. Derek posted: 20 Oct 2014 02:23 from: DerekStuart Hello Phil Thanks for that suggestion. I had initially dismissed OM for not being accurate enough to plot "engineering diagrams" from. However, I have had another look and they have answered several questions about the space between the station and Endeavour wharf, that together with photo's and other engineering data, have been extremely valuable- thank you. Also it confirmed that I am NOT entirely mad. I remember my Dad showing me where the turntable pit had been filled in years earlier and never reconciled ...
... a nice piece of straight trackwork that it needs either to be on a long curve or just curved at the end in order to flow and fit a space I have available. I have looked at shift group on notch, the notch loco depot video and other things listed in the help file tutorials, but these are group shift functions and not group curve functions which I would like. Is it me? is this facility is missing? and if missing is it feasible? Best regards, Peter posted: 1 Mar 2008 02:37 from: Martin Wynne Peter Ayre wrote: Is there a group version of the F6 and/or F10 functions? Hi Peter, It's a nice idea but unfortunately it's not feasible. Or at least not feasible without a massively more complex program than Templot. The problem is that as you curve an assembly of templates the alignments between them would change, and Templot would need the intelligence to know what must remain fixed, and what can be changed. There are also some important design considerations. For example if ...

The video includes some notes on notch-linking for groups, which has more general application than this subject only. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Sep 2016 07:42 from: brian.b Hi Martin, Much better to hear your instruction rather than read them.

187. Baseboards
... topic: 3583 Baseboards posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:10 from: Mick Just one question, can I enter the size of the base board and then fit the track to it? Regards Mick posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:33 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mick, Welcome to Templot Club. Yes, there are several ways to create baseboard outlines on the trackpad. If the baseboard is rectangular, the easiest way is to use the quick baseboard function like this: 2_182126_430000000.png That creates a rectangle in the background shapes functions. They are saved in a BGS3 file separately from your track plan so that you can try different track plans on the same baseboard(s) without entering the board details every time. cheers, Martin.

... fences are all plastic and a bit flimsy. An M5 nut appears to have gone missing, but I have plenty of those. I've not yet switched it on, so I will report again when I have it assembled and have tried it out. I'm intending to do some pics later showing vees and switch blades being planed, using Templot templates glued onto blocks of wood as work holders. First impression is good value for money at the £45 clearance price from Screwfix. regards, Martin. posted: 15 May 2008 02:24 from: Stewart McSporran Mine was waiting when I came home and it's exactly the same as Martin's- down to the missing nut. It is pretty rough and ready; I think I'd be a bit annoyed if I'd paid nearly £80 for it. I read a good quote about that recently- "the disappointment of poor quality lasts longer than the pleasure of a good price". I wish it had said "warning 80 grade paper" on the website.

... circumstances are always going to be different. If you were lucky enough to live next door to him I'm sure he'd be happy to run off a turnout for you, and charge you only $2 for it. Or maybe nothing at all. p.s. I would prefer this topic to remain on the practical aspects of 3D printed track. If you want to discuss cost analysis for manufacturers in the model hobby sector, please start a separate topic about it. Thanks. cheers, Martin. posted: 28 Jan 2020 20:02 from: Martin Wynne Trevor Walling wrote: Hello Martin, You might find Bob Gledhill's efforts on the MERG 3D Wiki page of interest.

... topic: 231 Shove timbers and prototype practice posted: 11 Nov 2007 02:40 from: mattots Hi I'm putting the finishing touches to my Templot track plan and am looking for some guidance on prototype practice regarding the way timber/sleeper positioning was adjusted around turnouts and crossovers etc. I've been looking for photos to use as reference but struggling to find many that show the sleeper positions clearly enough. Matt posted: 11 Nov 2007 03:42 from: Martin Wynne Hi Matt, There are no hard and fast rules, but this thread contains some notes and follow-ups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/message/8313 If you install Microsoft Virtual Earth and use the "Bird's Eye View" option (where available) and then zoom in to the maximum extent available, it's possible to see some of the timbering detail. Generally it's too fuzzy to be very useful, but you might strike lucky and find a location where the light is just right to see the timber positions clearly. For some modern "timbering ...
... model we have our own space constraints. Martin. posted: 17 Jul 2017 20:45 from: John Palmer Yes, I thought I had adopted the 10' spacing both between running line and carriage line and between carriage line and neck, but on re-visiting this I find that I must have adopted a rather smaller value close to nine foot- can't now recall why I did so. I admit to having been lazy this time and not opening out the spacing of these tracks! posted: 20 Jul 2017 02:43 from: d827kelly Thanks for all your assistance and comments. Thanks also to John for his efforts over on the scalefour forum to get to the starting point at the start of this topic. Always something to learn, I'm certainly in a position of lots to learn! Unfortunately I've not been able to take a look at the changes due to being away from home and not having a computer with Templot set up on available at present until I am back home again. Hopefully I can get the last niggles sorted ...
192. Changing Prototype
... was done using Templot version 091c and is 5 years old. Some of the menu items have changed in the current version, and extra functions are now available. For example check rails (guard rails) can now be easily adjusted by mouse action. And flat-bottom rails can be printed with the foot edge lines on the templates. If you have only just started with Templot, I would recommend becoming familiar with some of the basics before attempting a full prototype customization. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Feb 2013 02:50 from: Laidlaym Thanks Martin, I have made some progress and have avoided created VR specific turnouts for the moment. I am battling to create a double cross-over with 45mm track centres in 16.5. I can lay four turnouts with lots of overlap to look like a double cross-over but I haven't actually inserted the crossing in the middle. I must be able to integrate the crossing into the turnout but haven't worked out how as yet. I must be using limited functionality because the only way I ...
... topic: 2370 Help needed with Templot (from YMR forum) posted: 2 Jan 2014 22:02 from: Mythocentric Hi Martin Re my topic over on YMR this is my layout plan based on the Lancashire& Yorkshire's Rishworth with the problem area outlined in red. Who said small branch line termini were simple? I've tried to follow the video and repeatedly got stuck, no doubt through trying to run before I can do the Templot walk! The photo (which has been 'flipped' horizontally to match the track plan) shows the 3-way as being symmetrical but an asymmetric 3-way with the left-hand leading gives me more room to fit in the coal road (not to mention being easier to build!). I'm working on B7 crossings on both turnouts which give's me a good compromise in the space I have available. Thank you in advance for your generous assistance both here and on YMR! 2849_021659_570000000.jpg 2849_021700_430000000.jpg Edit: Sorry! I committed the usual sin and forgot to mention the track gauge which is 00-SF ...

Cheers Nigel posted: 23 Sep 2010 15:02 from: richard_t Hello The other suggestion was that the approach was rationalised by British Rail(ways) at some point, removing the slip, and replacing with a single lead junction. I can't accept that, as I suspect if that did happen then the rest of the layout would be swept away for something a lot simpler! I think I'll stick with the slip, as it fits in with the rest of the layout. The fiction will be that the "A" road locomotive release was only used by tank ...

... out the gauges I wish to make. Thanks again Rob posted: 6 Nov 2020 01:21 from: Nigel Brown Hi Rob Depends what you want to calculate. I assumed you know the distance (2d) between the two corners on the 3-point track gauge which sit on the outer rail. Feed in different values of the track radius R into the formula R- sqrt(R *R- d*d) and the formula will give you the corresponding widening. cheers Nigel posted: 6 Nov 2020 02:44 from: Martin Wynne Rob Manchester wrote:....and no I am not going to run EM-SF round 200mm radius track I need to make some 3 point gauges for other odd modelling scales/track gauges some of which will be running round curves that tight.

... topic: 2985 Modifying check rails on background templates to match the control template posted: 22 Feb 2017 02:04 from: Rick Hi there fellow Temploters: I'm spending time re-learning Templot after several years in the wilderness. My dilemma/ question relates to making changes made to the geometry of the current control template being reflected in the background turnout templates. I have a turnout Control Template that I am adjusting as I go along and I want these alterations to turnout geometry to be reflected in the existing turnout Background Templates; for them to be updated too so all of them have the same geometry. I can alter rails and timbers for all templates using the 'modify group to match' options under the real menu item. This works fine. However, when I try to alter the check and wing rail geometry using the real> adjust check rails menu item, I can't see any way to modify or update the other background turnout templates. There doesn't seem to be a 'modify group to match' option in this case.The attached file shows ...
