... 24 sleepers/60ft length back to the vee rail joint. On the other track, under the loco, the rail joint is about 8 sleepers closer to the vee -- so this is a shorter non-standard rail length. It's likely that the sleepers have all been shoved about to interleave with the foreground ones, but maintaining the closed up spacing at the joints at each end. cheers, Martin. posted: 7 Jul 2020 21:47 from: Julian Roberts 3591_080322_430000000.png 3591_080323_340000000.png 3591_071112_390000000.png Last edited on 8 Jul 2020 08:25 by Julian Roberts posted: 8 Jul 2020 08:32 from: Julian Roberts Hi Martin and folks I've seen here that arranging sleepering is not always matter of right and wrong, and varied with location, conditions, etc. So this is to ask whether this looks OK Above first picture is how Templot arranges the sleepers, second is how I've interleaved them. It didn't seem possible to interleave them next to the joint without the gap being extended, thus I think that would be wrong? Does this look ...

... . Don't change anything on there, just click the Start IDE button. You won't see this again next time you start Lazarus. If you have got that far and wondering what to do next, I can suggest some basic stuff to create and run a simple test program. p.s. "IDE" means "Integated Development Environment" which is just a fancy name for the normal Lazarus desktop screen -- see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment regards, Martin. posted: 20 May 2017 12:08 from: DerekStuart Hello Martin Many thanks for the info. Much appreciated. "If you say something simple I will post some sample code showing how you might get started, and you could have a go at changing it or expanding it." From the examples I've looked at, it seems fairly intuitive. Using Templot's purpose as an example: It seems a programme to allow the plotting of 2 curves of X dia. Y length and intersecting at Z would be fairly straight forward (from what I've seen). ...

... topic: 1591 Constructing a reversing circle posted: 20 Aug 2011 08:49 from: Charles Orr Hi I would welcome some advice on how to construct a reversing circle. Essentially I have a turnout and need to add a circle of track that leaves the main road and returns to the turnout road. The ability to be able to vary the radius of the base circle would be useful as I have to fit it into the space available. This is probably straightforward. Thanks in advance Charles posted: 20 Aug 2011 09:45 from: Martin Wynne Charles Orr wrote: I would welcome some advice on how to construct a reversing circle. Hi Charles, There is a Templot video covering this: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/return_loop.exe It's actually for double track, but if you do tools> make branch track on the turnout you should be able to adapt accordingly. Ask again if you need more. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Aug 2011 10:14 from: Charles Orr Hi Martin Many thanks for ...

... (O Gauge) please excuse the drawings for the station but you will get the idea. Bit more to go into the yard and at the top to join up with a traverser.What would be the minimum size switch in the yard. It has been a challenge to get this far, the printer has been well used and certain pages well thumbed. I did make the mistake of starting and then leaving things for a while, the memory cells needed prodding.

... eye and I like the idea of EM as being a suitable compromise as I feel that it could theoretically be a regauged version of OO with improved flangeways and appearance. I appreciate that this is quite a simplistic view but I was hoping for the dockyard branch I would be able to get track nearer to 20" radius (with transition curves) and very tight radius points on the quayside. The line will be operated by small tank locos, (Webb 0-4 -2T, L&Y Pug, possibly an 08 shunter depending on what period I am modelling) so hoped that these would run well even down to tight radii such as 20" (with check rail). Similarly, for the main point work in the passenger and goods area, I was considering A4 or A5 turnouts as it will all be low speed terminal station operation and I am quite space constrained. Would you think this is viable for EM gauge or should I think again before I start designing and constructing trackwork? Next month I shall be obtaining my copy ...

... wrote: The general experience was that such 0-SF was fine for Slaters and other current "industry-standard" wheels set to 29.2mm back-to-back, but just a bit too fine for some older cast "Fine Standard" wheels set to 29.0mm back-to-back (of which there are a great many still in use). Martin, Hijacking David's thread I just checked some of my RTR O gauge stock from the likes of Heljan and Dapol( Terrier, Jinty, Pannier and 05/08 diesels). The back-to-back measurements on these locos range from 28.7 to 29.1mm which would be an issue on O-SF track but should be fine on O-MF. The wheels also appear to be more 'rounded' in the area where the flange meets the tyre of the wheel( bigger root radius if that is the correct description?) Glad I stuck with the wider flangeways Rob posted: 2 Jun 2018 00:00 from: Martin Wynne p.s. David, You will see that for ...

Hi Russell, A good way to do this is to use different marker colours for the tracks on each level. You can set the marker colour for a group of templates all in one go -- select the group of templates then group> template colours for group> marker colour for all this group... menu item. When you want to print them, select the group using the ...

... own personal experience of Mr Shillito's Templot usage and knowledge. Hi Paul I don't think I added anything which couldn't be gleaned from the message, except to point out that Andrew has not only promoted the use of Templot but has written an article on it. I actually have no particular knowledge of Andrew's use of Templot. However, I thought the fact that he has not only designed 4 layouts in Templot but has actually built them probably puts him amongst a very select few Templot users!
