... important that I do get on and make some progress with the Templot Companion. Just saying "lots of friendly help on Templot Club" isn't much help if the friends all say different things. I do wonder how other software copes with this problem? And having said I'm going to get on with the Templot Companion, I'm not actually doing it today or any other day for months now, because it is far more interesting to get on with the code for the NLS map imports, or the code for auto-generated outside slips, or the code for... regards, Martin. posted: 15 Sep 2017 20:22 from: Tony McGartland I watched one of the video tutorials and found it very interesting. I've tried following the routines in the video and managed to keep up with things. I was not able to activate the command Ctrl+ F6 Snake through Peg and was really puzzled as to what it does.

Andrew Duncan wrote: Now I know you're expecting this, but if you'd now conjure up a three way, I promise not to ask you anything more....for at least a very long time! Hi Andrew, Keith, An automated tandem is going to have me scratching my head for weeks/months, and I'm not going to even look at it for a while. It is likely to be limited to a few common size combinations. An automated outside slip may be more feasible, at least for regular diamonds. But I really must now spend more time on the Templot Companion, if I can drag myself away from the program coding to get on with it. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Sep 2017 08:48 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin A few weeks ago, pre version 215a auto slip feature, I created a station throat, as in the attached .box file.

... reason for doing that? It's not likely that we would ever want more than one instance of that form, or want to inherit another one from it. I would have simply added them as procedures in the implementation section... Hmmmm- possibly ignorance on my part. I do remember agonising over this, and in particular, thinking "what's the point of putting a Private element in the interface at all? Surely that's what the Implementation section is for?" I understand the interface section is for things referenced from outside... but then why have Private things there? I seem to recall I had it in the implementation section at first, but I can't remember why I put it in the Interface in the end. (Googling for a while did not answer my question on the Interface/Private combination). But in this case they are not referenced anywhere other than in the above procedure, so they might just as well be nested child procedures within it. That way everything is kept nicely contained in one place, and ...
... of the platform. I presume this would have two main starter arms, one for each platform but would these give a route indication or would this be determined by the road that the signaler pulls off? In addition to this would each road require a subsidiary signal for shunting or would the main arm just be given? Moving down the line, on the main line there could be a section signal towards the end of the scenic section? As for arriving at the terminus, I presume there would be a home bracket signal outside the main point. I am unsure what arms and indication this would require as you can effectively access the loop, platform 1, bay platform and yard from the main line. Again, I presume there would need to be a subsidiary arm or ground signal for shunting or when the platforms are occupied? I don't think the branch at the top requires any signalling as it is not on the scenic part of the layout for long enough to model any. However, I presume the yard and loop are going to need ...
... with DEMU Update work and a lot of shows, so it wore me out somewhat). Yes, I'll look at widening the spacings (I've moved the outer siding on the right out a bit already, though more is needed, but too late to do more now). I've made some changes since my earlier posting, having researched the location, it seems more than usual long timbers were used to support the crossings, possibly this is due to the 3rd rail to give more support where it has to switch from outside to inside (which it will in the station)? A look at your revision and compared to photos of the area on flickr (admittedly a bit later than my time period, but I can live with that) It also seems to show that interlaced sleeping was not used in the area.

... about Macs, others here may be better placed to add to this. You are not seeing the full Templot screen for some reason. Do this: 2_111722_210000000.png 1. click restore down on the trackpad window. 2. you should then see in the bottom right corner, the program size slider. Move it upwards until you get a comfortable result after making the change. This will change the size of most things in Templot. But not the menus. The size of those is controlled by your display settings in Windows10, outside of Templot's control. Close Templot, then on the Windows desktop, right-click on a blank area and select Display Settings. Then under Scale and layout I suggest you set 125% or 150%, for the size of your screen. Note that this will affect all your Windows programs, not only Templot. Thanks for alerting me to this problem. I will add a means in the next program update to adjust the program size without needing access to the slider. p.s. If you have right-clicked ...
... rid of the branch run around and instead push pulls/dmu's can go straight into the bay, anything needing to run around can join the mainline and run around there before moving to the bay. I have tried moving the goods yard to the front (at the bottom) along with the cattle docks as that's the only place I could see to put them? and have turned the inside loop into mostly a goods yard headshunt but could also be used by slow moving goods trains to move out of the way? The outside loop has an extension on the end for the same reason. I do loose a small industry with this plan though? i.e timber yard/dairy/mill etc. At the top left and left hand side behind the railway will be the country village/town that crosses over the branch line with a level crossing. and then a small country road will lead down past the station for the entrance to that. 3446_251148_520000000.png Attachment: attach_2476_3030_loftwithsinglebay .box 219 posted: 25 Jul 2017 17:23 from: Nigel Brown Looking fine ...
... need quite a lot of re-drawing though. You also have some B-5.28 turnouts, which is a very strange size indeed! if you want something longer than 9ft-5, allowing for some gentle curving if needed, I suggest a 9ft-6 or 12ft-6 size would be more in keeping. You can convert any turnout to an inside slip at tools> make slip> menu item. However 1:5 is too short for a practical inside slip in P4. It would likely be an outside slip instead at that angle. Even 1:6 is tight for an inside slip in P4. I'm not too clear where you want to put it? cheers, Martin.

Martin The context menu placing didn't occur in my older version, right now even moving the application window doesn't un stick the context menu position. As a general comment any free floating menu should be resizeable and movable. Simply because with modern desktops, you have a plethora of widgets and screen" gadgets" that typical sit on the top Z layer obliterating anything under them. This is especially true of menus that float outside the main application screen. X Windows applications suffer the same issues these days as the modern desktop is a bit different from when X Windows was conceived.

... , inverted hand bottom. Alan Probably because I haven't a clue as to what I'm doing like I've previously said lol I thought to myself that if I had an 8' radius curve and I wanted a 6' radius curve coming off this to the right of it then it would make it a R/H turnout. Or am I being stupid? Again? regards, Mark posted: 27 Oct 2009 00:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mark, If your mainline radius is 8ft, any diverging track on the outside curving in the same direction must have a radius larger than 8ft. That's not Templot -- it's ordinary geometry. It can only be 6ft radius if it curves in the opposite direction, creating a Y-turnout effect. Is that what you want? regards, Martin. posted: 27 Oct 2009 00:23 from: marsa69 Thanks for your help Martin. But it doesn't matter now. I'll just use a standard B8 L/H turnout and see where that takes me, regards, Mark posted: 27 ...

196. Superelevation
... was to keep the rails all in the same plane using very long sleepers under all tracks. However "British Railways Track" has pictures (1st Edn Pg 68) of some "two level" chairs introduced by the LMS where the base of the chair under the rail was thicker than normal to preserve the vertical alignment. The use of these meant the six foot way had to be increased in width. Perhaps Martin or someone can explain furtheer, please? The worse case is double junctions where the branch is on the outside of the curve, but itself curves in the same direction as the main. Care has to be taken to avoid the branch rail on the inside of the curve becoming higher than the outer rail of the branch. posted: 29 Oct 2009 18:03 from: Alan McMillan Hi John Your last point is interesting. There used to be a very strange arrangement at Carstairs Junction on the Scottish Region in the 1970s where the Edinburgh branch track deviated from the up main platform road which had a 6 inch cant deficiency for ...
... S wrote: I'm really struggling to read the small page numbers on my full size track plan. By this I mean the w16, w17 etc that appears in the top right and bottom left of the printed sheets. Hi Gordon, I'm sorry, this font size is hard-coded, there isn't a setting to change it. I made the corner texts intentionally small because they are within the finished template area and might obscure important detail if too large. Note that the page number is also printed in a larger font outside the trim margin in the bottom left corner. The best I can suggest is that you read that and write it on the template area before trimming off the margins. No-one has mentioned this before, and when I coded it 10 years ago it looked fine. Looking at it again now with eyes 10 years older (my eyes are the same age as yours ), I can see that it might be a problem. I will do something about this in the next upgrade. Thanks for drawing my attention ...

... / transition to take it where I need it. I rarely if ever use a constant radius other than the corners of my hidden spiral. I would generate the inside one larger than a quadrant. Set it in the corner and store. I then generate a straight template and overlay it visually to align with the curve. Get a pair of sleepers overlaid exactly to ensure the join is perfect and then F3 to shorten it. Flip back to the curve and adjust length using F3. Set up the parallel curve for the outside and job done, so no F7 in that case. Now something perhaps slightly different. If I have say an engine shed, I will put it where I need it on the layout and add a straight template which has been rotated to the right position. If I cannot get the branch track to align with the straight smoothly then I'll start from both ends as it were and extend both pieces of curved track until they are overlaid, one on top of the other and tweak them with F6 until I get the ...
