... the UK (Don Chapman, sadly no longer with us) I ended up taking both John and Don to EXPO EM North at Slaithwaite, so it was nice to re-establish contact. Don had a model of Bangor (LNWR) in his loft and would run the "Irish Mail" with 14 coaches and on a couple of occassions managed to "strip" the gearbox on the loco! I understand that the station section of the layout has gone to the Brookside Garden Centre. best wishes Richard Last edited on 10 Jan 2012 13:05 by Richard_Jones posted: 3 May 2011 19:07 from: Richard_Jones Hi Guys& Gals, I had another "outline" go at Singleton, this time on a continuous curve, rather than the final bit straight (which is prototypical)- any comments on which looks better? many thanks Richard1763_031407_070000000.jpg posted: 3 May 2011 21:47 from: JFS Hi Richard, Looks good- have you put this in the image gallery?

... 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 ...
224. print alignment
... topic: 1070 print alignment posted: 10 Mar 2010 18:05 from: tony polman i`m probably missing something simple but bear with me. is it possible to align each template so as it would be printed on a single sheet of A4? tried a couple of test prints last night and found some sections are cut lengthways at the edge of the paper. must be a way around this? posted: 10 Mar 2010 18:20 from: Paul Boyd Hi Tony You can set the page origin to do this, assuming the template is small enough to print on A4. From the 'print' menu, select 'page orientation/origin' then 'set page origin'. The rest is self-explanatory, and you can see the results of fiddling with the page origin on the screen before printing. This is something I do quite a lot!

... but can't get my head round the protocol.

228. Frog Angles
... topic: 2158 Frog Angles posted: 13 Feb 2013 10:14 from: CoBo Okay... just trying to get my head round frog angles and must point out geometry wasn't my niche subject at school. If my understanding is correct, I think that B, C, D etc, relate to the length of a turnout and that 8, 9, 10, to the amount the diverging track moves away from the main over a given distance, eg a C:10 is a long point where the diverging track moves away from the main at 1cm in every 10cms. I also understand the difference between Right Angle Measurement (RAM) and Centre Line Measurement (CLM). I've seen filing jigs where one can file the frog rails to the required angles eg 10, 12 etc. and assume that all 10's or 12's etc have the angle set the same- I don't mean 10 will be the same as 12 but that all 10's will be the same and all 12's will be the same. Am I therefore correct in ...

Cheers Phil posted: 21 Aug 2014 09:41 from: Trevor Walling Hello Martin, Here are some screen grabs of your FBR tutorial. It opens straight from the folder as in screen grab 1 and 2. Screen grab three is it working at fullscreen. This is using PCLinuxOS. Brilliant Best wishes.

If you set View> Movie Size> Fit to Window before going full screen, the video will enlarge to fit, should you want to do that. It may help with the font size. Change back to 100% to get the normal view. I was expecting some comments that the font size is too small -- which it is for me. But so far no-one else has said so. ...

... this has of course been discussed at length before, have a look at Jim Snowden's article(s) in MRJ (forget which one without looking it up- there is at least one index for MRJ on Scalefour's website) for a good introduction. posted: 9 Apr 2010 09:38 from: Brian Lewis When theory meets actual working practice, something has to give and this debate is becoming rather like that of the scientists who proved positively that bees could not fly. :-) I ran 0-XF for 10 years without problems and rest my case upon that fact. Regards Brian Lewis Martin Wynne wrote: A significant problem with 0-XF is that the dimensions don't add up, if it is intended as advertised for all existing G0G-Fine wheels. The quoted track gauge of 31.0mm min with a 1.2mm flangeway gives a check gauge CG of only 29.8mm. This is less than the wheel BEF of 30.0mm max, breaking the basic rule for all trackwork that BEF must not be greater than CG. In order to run properly ...
... topic: 1415 Printing templates on A3 posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:26 from: brianlwood I have a query with regard to printing templates from Templot. I currently print in A4 then marry the sheets together, no problems there. However, I am considering buying an A3 printer. Is there a way that I can then print onto A3 paper and get all of a turnout on such paper. Kind Regards, Brian Wood. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:44 from: Stephen Freeman Maybe. Depends on the Turnout/scale of course. 0 Gauge A6 on Super A3 will fit, anything much bigger will need 2 sheets. You could of course go for an A3 printer that will print on roll paper if that's an issue. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Yes, Templot prints to whatever paper size you have set on the printer. If you set the printer to print A3 size, that will be the size of the pages from Templot. They will fit together by ...
232. Point templates
... Oct 2010 21:05 from: Phil O Hi Nigel First it would help to know which version of Templot you are using as some versions have differernt approach to how to get at SHOVE TIMBERS which is where you add or remove sleepers or timbers plus other changes to them. I would not start on partial templates until you have mastered the more basic elements of Templot, have you worked through the various tutorials? because with this you won't be able to run before you can walk. Cheers Phil posted: 9 Oct 2010 10:19 from: Nigel Osborne Thankyou for the reply the version I am using is v:0.91.c.The reason I would like to construct a template for these points is that they save space which I have little of.

... 11:14 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Apologies. I have now realised that this is the same layout which you posted about before, in this topic: topic 2326 Unfortunately that topic spanned the time of my mother's death, so I wasn't able to give it proper attention at the time. But I did post what seems to be a solution to your straight goods shed in this post: message 15546 File: http://85a.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?id=1670 Admittedly the shed is only about 10" long, but that seems to be the limit of what can be fitted in the space. I notice on that plan there are not the mismatches and misalignments now on the latest plan you posted, so I'm wondering what changes you have been trying to make which have caused these? That plan includes a diamond-crossing having transition curve over transition curve, so I may use it as the basis of the video. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Jan 2015 11:49 from: Martin Wynne p.s. ...
... topic: 3389 Adding background maps posted: 23 Feb 2019 10:16 from: Hayfield I always have difficulty in enlarging a background shape getting it to the correct size, and an having the same issue now The plan is an OS 5 feet to the mile 1-1076? and have a couple of questions, but I have no idea if the plan has been enlarged The first question is, are the two lines the rails or the sleeper/timber widths? As this is the only item where the size is known, as there are no grid lines or a scale line to act as a reference Help please posted: 23 Feb 2019 11:28 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, The two lines on the map are the rails. Bear in mind that they are to scale gauge, so if you are designing for 00 gauge they will be a bit wider than your model rails. When working with maps in Templot, the very first thing to do is to set your scale. It's no good trying to change from ...

Getting the balance between access to public information and income for preservation of that information is one that sovereign governments will have to address more clearly in the digital age.

How is using a scanner different, or alternatively where is the line drawn between the two? I could mount my camera on a travelling tripod and effectively ...
236. Lack of Trap Points?
... limit for the rodding run from a signal box. It's odd that the actual position of the ground frame isn't shown. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2014 08:47 from: Phil O I don't think that a FPL would be required as the key will be attached to the token and thus any passenger train will not be using the turnout in a reversed condition. The clue is, there is no advanced starter beyond the turnout. I await being shot down in flames. Phil posted: 4 Dec 2014 10:38 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, It is a single-track line, so passenger trains running east to west will see it as facing points. The points need to be locked for that. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2014 13:59 from: Alan Turner Richard_Jones wrote: Hi, I've got involved in yet another project!- Not sure yet whether it will turn into a complete layout, but at present it is planned as a diorama from the road overbridge to the end of ...
... topic: 2874 Multiple copies of templates posted: 10 May 2016 10:04 from: FraserSmith I saw a comment from Martin in a post about a plan he was checking that had several copies of a template stacked up but he didn't see why that should be. It is possible that it was an old message and the reason has been found but I couldn't find anything about it but I do know how it can be done. If you are working on a plan with several items and you want to see the overall layout you might store and background the last template being worked on. If you then click on another track item and then click again there or elsewhere, the last template being worked on will become the control template again with the original underneath it. If you then store and background that template you will have two identical templates stacked up. It's very easy to do accidentally and quite easy to sort once you know it's there. Apologies if this has all been discussed before but as I said I couldn't find any posts relating ...

The problem you get is that if you set the first switches to the leftmost route and the second to the rightmost, then both left and right roads (but not the centre) will be live. This combination, obviously, doesn't normally arise because if the first switch is set to the left then a train coming from the facing direction won't negotiate the second switch anyway- however it means that careless operation might cause unwanted movements!

... topic: 2646 The disappearing Template posted: 10 Mar 2015 08:44 from: Andrew Duncan Martin Just a quickie I suspect. I was doing some work on Yeovil plan redoing the track centre spacing having discovered that 70' coaches would foul each other on certain curves. So I found myself generally moving round the non station parts of layout increasing the adjacent spacing to 50.67mm. I chose to delete the outside curves and use -Tools\Make double track- to restore the outside curves a little further away. This worked fine. But as I progressed towards the fiddle yard (staging yard?) I noticed that a curved turnout had disappeared and that no amount of 'undo changes/ back button' would restore it. This used to happen to me a lot in the early days of using Templot but I found that by hitting the button with two orange down arrows on it (save to control) that that overcame that problem but at the same time very often seems to duplicate the template, which is a bit tedious (probably necessary ...
240. Minimum Radius
... topic: 1225 Minimum Radius posted: 31 Aug 2010 09:20 from: RichardTP Hi everyone 1st of all I'm very new to Templot so forgive the idiots question. I am building my 1st O gauge layout, I have printed out a simple A5 turnout (straight) and a minimum radius of 49.5ins is quoted, the turnout looks to have a much larger radius than this, certainly 5 ft and C and L quote 6.6 feet approx for the radius. Can you please explain Thanks Richard posted: 31 Aug 2010 10:36 from: Nigel Brown Hi Richard As you will have noticed, the turnout road is a complex mix of curves and straights; the minimum radius is the sharpest of these curves. The other radius sometimes quoted is the substitution radius, which is what you would have if you replaced the whole turnout road with a curve of constant radius. The substitution radius is the larger, and is intended as an aid to producing the overall design. The minimum radius is intended to give you an idea of whether your stock ...
