222. Templot GUI Control
... at that point we found out who had followed the guidelines and who had not! Of course, over successive OS versions they have completely re-arranged all the directory structures/ folder names etc, but programmes written to the 15 year old guidelines continue to work fine. So here is the answer to your question Martin:- the "problem it causes" is that Templot is not "system independent" thus, if they *ban* writing (or installations) to the root directory in WIN 8/9 /10 Templot will not work. You then have a re-write forced on you OR we as users cannot upgrade our machines. Having said all that, and recognising the long development path (no pun!) of Templot, I really sympathise and fully agree that there are more important things in which to to invest your precious programming time! In any case, we will probably all be long dead before Microsoft mess with C:/ !! Nigel, with respect, Windows did not start as a competitor to " ...

Hi Pete, No, the requirement applies only to Templot2, as stated in the terms for free use of the program. You can go on using your old paid-for version of Templot as much as you wish. The two programs are completely separate and you can use either or both at any time. However, Templot2 contains a great many new features, so I imagine ...
... important V's don't generate on the template. I have tried all the variations of the turnout geometry, but have concluded that there must be some simple parameter that I have missed — possibly in the custom template dialogues, and this screws up the correct creation of the regular crossing — and maybe other configurations of turnout and crossing templates yet to be encountered. Can anyone help point out what I am missing? I have attached a box file showing the problem. regards Keith Johnson Attachment: attach_2102_2669_7mm_Broad_Gauge.b ox 234 posted: 5 Apr 2015 10:14 from: Alan Turner Widen the track centres using Geometry/Adjacent Track Centres. regards Alan posted: 5 Apr 2015 10:40 from: keithj15 Hi Alan, This was my first thought too, being that it was easy, and during the setting up of the custom settings Templot "suggested" adjacent widths in excess of 113mm. Unfortunately this is one of those compromises that are not acceptable by the modellers as they are trying to stay true to the original plans, which have a 6ft way, as ...
... (in one or both rails), but I don't have any details of the radii. They could of course be calculated from the specified gap, but it's time for me to cook a meal -- over to you. V-crossing knuckle gaps are given in the table on this page: http://templot.com/martweb/templot_forum.htm although some of them appear to have been muddled up in a misprint. Yes it is called a wing rail. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Mar 2016 21:10 from: DerekStuart Thanks Martin. I have filed down a little more on the point rail and it is better. I will see what it is like when finished (the real thing isn't exactly smooth). From the diagrams it does seem that the back of the point rail is just a standard flangeway gap from the wing rail. How it doesn't get hit by the back of the flange I don't know but I will just accept that if it's good enough for LNER it's good enough for 4mm. Enjoy dinner. ...
... if someone understands what I missed, please let me know Hi Leo, Set that dimension at real> V-crossing options> customize V-crossing> blunt nose... menu item. Set the "width of blunt nose" dimension to 0.5" for most USA V-crossings (frogs). Set the "blunt nose to timber centre" dimension to your 4". I'm tired too. I've been trying to get the next TDV update ready for several days now. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Nov 2011 18:45 from: leo_sandstrom Hi Martin I already have those dimensions set, I think I might have found a bug, or maybe this feature is just working in a completely different manner then I expect. Setting the blunt nose to timber centre to 0 brings the x spot on the middle of the timber as can be seen here: 2094_101319_200000000.png Setting it to 8,96 inches brings it just in line with the left side of the timber as can be seen here: 2094_101333_460000000.png Thus setting it to 8 ...
... , Rob, Remember that a check rail on one side controls what happens to the wheel on the opposite side. A higher check rail means the wheel can roll further forward past the knuckle while still being under the sideways control of the check rail, helping to prevent the opposite wheel flange from hitting, or passing to the wrong side of, the point rail. Quick diagrams of that, wheelset moving left to right: 2_091932_260000000.png Shows only the wheel flange, rest of wheel omitted. 2_101121_390000000.png cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2020 09:48 from: Julian Roberts Hi Martin, Paul, Rob I too couldn't see how the raised checkrail could help, till your explanation Martin. My problem with that is that in the one-fine-day drawer is a 2-10-0... For what it's worth, my single experimental wagon with EM flanges set to roughly 17.57 can't go the wrong way on this crossing. But it remains an experiment because it rolls far less freely. I can't see why the Dave Bradwell ...

Alexander is still working on the controls, so there are likely to be some changes. Several users have asked for a "replay from start" button, so that there is no need for the endless looping.

Is that really true? I hate it when I google how to do something only to find that to get the answer I have to wade through a 10 minute video instead of being able to read through something at my own speed. I know that on yours we can easily pause video, but you still can't print a video out and keep it in a file! I wonder what other people think? I think now that by far the best set of instructions and tutorials is this very forum! How about making any documentation no more than a "Getting started" set of instructions with all the basics covered, sufficient to create, say, a simple GWR terminus station ...
... topic: 2792 Irregular Diamonds and Making Transition posted: 26 Nov 2015 10:58 from: grob1234 Hi Martin, OK, so I understand from the brief RMW chat that for an irregualr crossing, I have to join the tracks up manually. So here is what I did: templot%20q2.png Which became this, after I erased the underlying tracks: templot%20q3.png OK, fine! But the timbering on the crossing looks 'weird'. How can I sort that out? Also, would the same principles apply if I wanted to create an irregular single/double slip within existing crossing plain track? I have watched the video on making slips and I think I just about have it, although thats for making ladder style crossings. My track plan seems to just have random slips all over the place, hence the need for the irregular ones. Hope my words make sense! Many thanksTom posted: 26 Nov 2015 16:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tom, Welcome to Templot Club. Instead of explaining in words, I have ...

... . Especially anything, including makes, it is best to avoid. My basic preferences/needs are (I think): Flat bed, Good range and choice of scan resolutions (ppi/dpi), Choice of greyscale/colour and pixel resolution (4bit, 8 bit, 24bit etc), Ability to scan from a thickish book, ie "lid" needs to be either removeable or height adjustable, Abilty to scan film negatives and/or transparancies would be nice, but not essential, Works with OS Windows 10, Not too expensive (how long is a piece of string?), Preferably not USB powered.

... topic: 1919 Three Way Tandem Point posted: 10 Apr 2012 19:50 from: Les Waters I have been using Templot for off and on for several years as and when the need arose. I have just started on planning for my new layout which is prototypical. I have had the track plan scanned and I am using this as a background shape. All has gone very well using TDV except for a three way tandem point- the very last piece of the jigsaw. The problem is my lack of knowledge and terminology. When I try to follow the excellent Templot video I can sort of understand it until my lack of knowledge takes over. Specifically, I do not know if what I am trying to do is allowed bearing in mind the background shape of the prototype requires two staggered B8 LH switches. These appear to be the best fit. Would this be allowed? The other area where I am failing is the third crossing and blades which from the video seem to be a user choice and I have not got a clue ...

J. Allen on the subject, in 1915: 2_071630_310000000.jpg He has two chapters on switches, but this is all I can find about loose-heel joints.

I think it was this that first drew to my attention some of the problems that arise from a wheelset passing over a loose heel joint. There is also a section in the HSE's publication about mine trackwork dealing with loose heel switches containing the following commentary: "136 A loose heel switch can open inadvertently when a vehicle passes over in the facing direction of ...
238. Transition links
... topic: 3812 Transition links posted: 10 Nov 2020 08:06 from: Graham Long Hi I have grappling with transition links. I have sucessfully produced an easement. I how want to link a transition between to plain track templates. I.e. I want to produced a link between a 1400mm radius plain track and a 2500 plain track. I have tried to follow Martin's video but it is linking two turnout templates. Do I have to make both templates turnouts to link them and then make them plain track again after having done so? So far I have made one of the templates a turnout and split off the approach road, but I am not clear on how to make this a dummy template as described. Then you are required to make a branch line from the other template. However, I think I would have to make this a turnout template as well. Could anybody clarify this for me.

... , I see that you have adopted the GOG-F standard. Are you aware than many (most?) handbuilders of 0 gauge track now prefer the 0-MF standard? This gives much better running with modern Slater's-pattern wheels. There has been much discussion about this on other forums such as RMweb. I believe the Gauge 0 Guild will be adopting 0-MF in the next edition of their standards. 0-MF is 31.5mm gauge with 1.5mm flangeways. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Sep 2017 10:07 from: Andrew Howlett Many thanks Tony, Much appreciated, Andrew. Tony W wrote: Hi Andrew. Since no one else appears to have taken up your challenge, I thought I would have a go. Well done so far. The Tandem needed several changes to it to make it work, the main one being that the two turnouts were set at differing radii so would not line up. The curvature of the inner road was very tight. I have managed to ease this slightly. The next stage ...
