I'm a bit too tired tonight to spend hours editing a polished version. If anything is unclear, just ask again. Some nice complex trackwork there to build. cheers, Martin. posted: 25 Feb 2019 07:51 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you very much, will have a go a bit later posted: 25 Feb 2019 09:26 from: Hayfield I have hit a problem, I am using windows 10 using Google Chrome and cannot find how to either copy to link, or paste as I have no task bar with these actions on.

... I enjoy the challenge, and so far have made (in my humble opinion) quite a nice start. I very much appreciate your continued support, and I also understand your feelings with regards to novices like myself biting off more than they can chew. Personally, if I don't push myself, then I won't learn, so the challenge is welcome. And I still think its a cracking piece of software Please rest assured, no wood will be harmed in the making of this plan posted: 6 Dec 2015 17:07 from: Martin Wynne Martin Wynne wrote: Even at a basic level, Templot is 10 times easier to learn without a background scan obscuring what you are seeing. p.s. Background images can be switched on and off by pressing the SHIFT+ HOME keys. This makes it much easier to see what you are doing when making fine adjustments. (Also on the trackpad menu.)

... try and use standard slide chairs on the switch rails and standard chairs on the stock rails Whilst not fully prototypical I think it would give me the correct balance between following prototypical practice verses packability in model form Hi Hayfield. Thanks that's helpful. You have seen my contributions on rmweb so I have probably confused things by posting on two forums.I have now cut the wide central sleeper which I see is longer too. I'm going to start a property thread on rmweb at some point. Thanks again posted: 9 Aug 2020 16:07 from: Hayfield If you look carefully on the plan after the slide chairs there are M1 (small chair) and L1 (chairs) Both in the Exactoscale range, the L1 (along with J Chairs) are included on the new C&L sprues 982_091108_020000000.jpg Where I was referring to the chairs made up from splicing a standard and slide chair together, if you look at the bottom of the left hand sprues you will see what I am trying to replicate 982_091109_290000000.jpg I am building a trailing crossover, there is a ...
... ? posted: 27 Jul 2020 11:47 from: johndon I'm currently planning a layout and I'm using a map as a background shape. I'm using the sketchboard to plan the baseboards and I'd like to have the sketchboard items displayed in front of the background shape in the trackpad. I thought deselecting the highlighted option below would do the job but it hasn't. The sketchboard items are definitely there as, if I hide the background shape, they appear... Untitled-2.jpg John posted: 27 Jul 2020 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, That function is working, but I think possibly you missed the operative word "output" on there. It applies only for printed templates and exported PDF files, not on the trackpad. Sorry, there isn't a function to show the sketchboard items on the trackpad in front of anything else. It would be tricky to implement and significantly affect the screen response speed. What I suggest you could do if you want to design sketchboard items over the map, would be to put the ...
... topic: 2796 London Transport (LTE/LTB) track posted: 27 Nov 2015 23:07 from: 4railsman I've just started work on a 4mm "OO" scale layout in order to take advantage of the recently released models of the LT Museums new "S -stock" as well as the Heljan Metropolitan Bo-Bo locos.

... to search for this but no luck so far. Is there a way of producing a list of all (or some) of the templates in my box file which includes the specifications of things like turnouts? I can find a way to list all the templates but that just shows the number, name and type. For things like turnouts the specs (type, radius, angle etc) would be useful to create a shopping list for track parts, kits etc. Many thanks David posted: 11 Jul 2016 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi David, On the storage box window, if you click the box> show cumulative box data menu item, you can see the total length of the templates and the total length of timbering. "Timbering" means the total length of pointwork timbers and plain track sleepers combined. For all the template info, click the box> print all template info PDF> menu items. You can choose whether to print a (long) list or create a PDF file. regards, Martin. posted ...

I remembered most of this detail, I just couldn't think what the J chair was for. Here's an example of memory. How many times has Martin told people the difference between catch and trap points. (X is the device, but it's doing the job of Y). I still cannot remember which way around it is.. It's as hard as remembering who is who between 'ant and dec.'

... it is short and distinctive. As you say there are a great many 00 variations and derivatives, so 00-SF could have been seen as just one more of many. 4-SF stands out as different. 4-SF also makes the 4mm/ft scale explicit, where some of the other options have 00 models running on track modelled at other scales. But in the end, it is only a name. The rails are still in the same place. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Oct 2015 07:08 from: Hayfield Martin I am warming to 4-FS as a name, though still use 00sf when I fell its appropriate. Whatever happens it still will be confusing for some, as I guess does DOAG fine& DOAG intermediate are to many 00 gauge modellers who have no idea about the differing gauge standards As you have said 4-SF is designed for track builders who one would hope may have at least a basic knowledge on the subject, hopefully with C&L now selling the gauges its prominence ...
212. Printer Problem
... was set as the printer will not start. New printer? Regards Rodger posted: 22 Jun 2016 20:16 from: bainin Sounds like printer. Message was probably referring to failure to print current document, which probably happened to go by the name "templot pages". You can try resetting the printer -- google "epson px650 reset" for instructions. In ny experience, epson printers can die suddenly. It may be cheaper to replace the printer than to get it repaired! Mike posted: 23 Jun 2016 07:48 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, When you say it won't restart, do you mean that it won't switch on at all, or there are error lights? If the former then maybe the printer is dead, if the latter, perhaps it's the well-known Epson built in self-destruct feature, which can usually be defeated. At least some of their printers have a built-in counter of some sort which triggers the machine into believing that it needs the used ink reservoir replacing/cleaning. By ...
213. Straight Switches
... I've just dug it out. It gives me some confidence that it can be done in smaller scales but I will want it to be fully functional in 1:32 scale so I may investigate using brass rod and countersunk 10 or 12BA screws to lock the bars to the switch blades. Insulating the stretcher rods should not be too difficult although the Caledonian's predilection for boarding and boxing in point rodding in the four and six foot way would help to disguise any method used. Jim. Last edited on 9 Nov 2015 20:07 by Jim Guthrie posted: 11 Nov 2015 18:46 from: John Palmer Jim, I agree that the Cavalcade shot appears to show a rather longer than twelve foot tongue rail, and 15'-16' looks about right to me. No sign of any heel plate below the joint, and, judging by the prominence of these in pictures showing North British switches, such a plate would be pretty obvious if present. I suspect, therefore, that heel plates didn't find their way into Caledonian practice. I ...
... :38 from: Julian Roberts I remember seeing track joints like the ones you describe Alan, in Belgium in the late 70s when I worked there for a year. I thought it looked a much better design than we used to have in Britain and wonder why it wasn't the way we did things here. Mind you that was in the context of one of the worst rail accidents that happened in my formative years, that at Hither Green in c1967, where a rail joint broke. posted: 22 Jul 2020 22:07 from: Martin Wynne Julian Roberts wrote: I remember seeing track joints like the ones you describe Alan, in Belgium in the late 70s when I worked there for a year. I thought it looked a much better design than we used to have in Britain and wonder why it wasn't the way we did things here. Hi Julian, Some pre-grouping track used very close joint sleepers. The problem then with chaired bullhead track is that if you place the chairs so close to the joint, there isn't room between ...
... topic: 3712 GB Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRN) posted: 4 Jul 2020 07:24 from: Martin Wynne You have a street address, a postcode, an OS Grid Reference, Latitude/Longitude, What 3 Words, and several other location identifiers. Did you know that in GB* you also have a UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number)? Ordnance Survey have just released free access to their full list of UPRNs under their latest OpenData initiative. If you have your railway in a garden shed, it may have its own UPRN. If there is a bus shelter in your street, it may also have a UPRN. In theory you should be able to enter the UPRN instead of a full address and postcode in all official documents, web sites, letters, christmas cards, online delivery orders, etc. In practice, good luck with that. Robert Whittaker has used the data to set up a quick map to discover your UPRN: http://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/uprn/ Zoom in to at least ...

... Crossover. Before the latest upgrade it was working fine. Thinking back to earlier in the year, I figured out to have 2 windows open next to each other then I could click and drag Templot across to Crossover and it worked. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow if I can remember how to do it. I still have a couple of Windows 7 machines but they take so long to load with ten million updates every time they are almost unusable. Maybe I'll try uninstalling Big Sur on here. posted: 7 Dec 2020 07:41 from: Dave Summers The downside of Bootcamp and virtual machines is that you need a paid-for Windows licence. Crossover does not. Downgrading to Catalina is technically possible but a significant faff.
