... That's the way to save anything in Templot -- store a template containing it. Alternatively you can make such a template a library template in the storage box. Library templates are marked in green in the storage box. Load or add your .box file containing your library templates, on the storage box click on the one you want, and then click the copy to the control/current template button. Using a library template avoids having a template on the screen which isn't part of your track plan, although if it is outside the current page origin it won't get printed anyway. It's often handy to have a row of ordinary templates for copying, arranged along the bottom of the pad below the grid origin. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jun 2008 03:11 from: GeoffJones Martin Wynne wrote Alternatively you can make such a template a library template in the storage box.

... one set for individual template, another set for groups and yet another for the whole layout. It would certainly allow me to make better use of all the wonderful options, particularly colour, that are in the printing section. Right now, I don't use half of them because once I change them there are too many to remember! Hi Peter, Thanks for your thoughts. You are not the first to ask for this, and other settings to be saved. The problem is that what looks a simple task from the outside is quite a complex one internally. Because it is purely a cosmetic/friendly change (i.e. Templot works perfectly well with the default settings, and they can be changed each time if it's essential) it has tended to get pushed down the list below the need for more track functionality and Help material. The demand for the grid settings to be saved was so great that I have now included them in the .box file, which is not the best place for them. I need to develop an extensible profiling option ...
... code the same at the beginning of each up until you draw the Ready...Steady...Click screen? The source code is identical, likewise the compiler settings. The actual compiled code will have some differences -- the date, copyright info, etc. But if there was any problem there it wouldn't launch at all -- no "Templot will be starting soon" splash screen. In view of the fact that Cynric is now running 091b ok, and you have done so before, I think we have to look outside Templot for a solution. The problem must be somewhere in your system setup, or the specific hardware you are using. The big mystery is why 091a runs ok but 091b doesn't. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Aug 2007 18:43 from: Cynric Williams Dave/ Martin my Mac is a 17inch macbook pro 2gb ram c2d 2.33 sounds the same as Daves I have attached some screenshots of Templot running in Bootcamp with a second monitor attached Attachment: attach_48_dual_monitors.jpg 486 posted: 29 Aug 2007 18:44 from: ...

... topic: 283 Riveted-ply track construction posted: 13 Dec 2007 03:16 from: Martin Wynne There has been a discussion on RMweb today about using riveted plywood construction in EM gauge. Here are some notes I posted there. For riveted plywood construction in EM, there is a problem that the pre-punched sleepers have the hole centres a bit too far apart. They were originally designed for use with the larger 2.5mm dia EMGS rivets, and the idea was that you create a solder fillet on the outside to represent the chair jaws. For use with cosmetic plastic chairs the rivets need to be exactly under the rail centre, so you may find that you need to take the corners off the rivets with a Dremel disc to get the chairs to fit snug. But the best solution is to drill or punch your own holes in the right place. There is a trick you can use in Templot to help. If Templot is set to print the rail centre-lines instead of the rail edges, you get the rivet positions ...
... :6.5 below 10 chains...1:6 This information is dated 1943 for the GWR, and similar rules can be assumed for other companies. my layout requires a 1:4.5 single slip crossing over the main lines and I fancy the idea of making movable diamonds... Movable K-crossings sharper than 1:6 would be very unusual and unnecessary, and it may not be physically possible to find room for the moving switch rails. A single slip at 1:4.5 will need to be an outside slip, and the additional V-crossings in the diamond legs will make it practically impossible to fit movable K-crossings. It would be totally unnecessary and unprototypical at 1:4.5 anyway.

... modelling, but usually use the latter as the prototype until recently was also imperial (working in 1:64 and latterly 1:32 this is no hardship!) and using millimetres to a foot is a touch silly when you think about it- 7mm:12" even sillier. And the ratio for the models makes little sense, either... I have no understanding of how big an acre or a hectare is, and also have trouble with weights because I was taught in metric, but never encountered it outside of school. Historical aside: The UK had intended to metricate about 100 years ago, but the Germans had gone this way and the growing hostility to Germany during the Edwardian period put the kybosh on it. Also, the florin (two-bob bit) was introduced circa 1870 as it was 1 tenth of a pound, and was intended as a precursor to decimalisation- we only waited 100 years for that! Another example of sentimentality overriding some sensible thinking, but maybe that's just a touch too OT.. ...
... 7 Mar 2008 04:03 from: davelong Hi Phil Thanks for the comments, I quite like your idea of have several parts to each cassette road, sounds very tempting after all its called a fiddle yard for a reason, fiddling around with parts of the trains to get want you want/need around the scenic sections. I'll ook into it further. The points coming off the tight curves may cause a problem on the inner loop as they'd need to be silly CF18 to be anywhere near a suitable radius. The outside of the outer loop wouldn't be a problem. As I touched upon earlier I have a version of the plan where the exit road from the steel terminal does not join the mainline curves, instead would feed along side the mainline in to the fiddle yard, the idea being that I could get in a slightly longer seperate fiddle yard road for it and be able to have that fiddle yard road a little lower than the mainline to help with the gradient (for info stands about 1:80, possibly with lifting the ...

... plastic sleepers on the SMP track to fit between the pcb sleepers of the pointwork...Whilst shoving the timbers would certainly enhance the appearance of the plan, I would still have to move sleepers on the SMP track, so decided the process was actually redundant. The plan is really to show exactly where track will be laid rather than building all the track on the plan as it were. At present I am generating separate plans for each point and building them as stand alone modules. I have measured the plan and between the outside edges of the outer track sleepers is 883mm so it's all pretty tight to get within 900mm or 36" (914mm). I pick up on your suggestion though and see if I can fit it into a rectangle as you suggest. Thanks again for your help. I will send the screen shots to the printer and see what they come back with. Just had another quote in this morning for £25+ P& P so the <£ 15 price I have already had appears good value. Regards Gordon S ...
231. 0-XF or 0-SF?
... A small matter perhaps, but 31mm track gauges are instantly available- to my knowledge nobody makes gauges for 31.2mm. 31.2mm allows for trackwork inaccuracies and also the use of wheels cast to wider profiles. Neither are very good reasons. Regards Brian Lewis Carrs-- C+ L Finescale. http://www.finescale.org.uk I tend to agree with Martin that using 31.0mm track gauge is flawed for track work using GOG standard fine scale wheels. Using my spread sheet, even 31.2mm is to tight if you use wider flanged wheels made outside the UK. At 31.0mm, you need to make the clearances to tight for K crossings, and the track laying and wheel back to back accuracy is harder to achieve compared to Scale 7. The fact you have observed a B7 turnout is the minimum turnout limit confirms the results from my spread sheet you have a clearance and tolerance problem. There are many prototypes and model layouts that use 1 in 6 or smaller crossing V angles. If you want to run a range of 0 gauge fine scale wheels from more than ...

233. V-crossing details
... the wires attached/bolted to the rail, or are passed through holes in the rail and then attached/bolted?. Is there any reason for what side of the rail they are one- as the ones in the first photo are on inside. Does anyone have any close up's that they would like to share? Many thanks posted: 26 Feb 2009 16:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, On BH they are normally on the inside so not damaged by the hammer when tightening or replacing keys on the outside. The usual practice is to fit them through small holes in the rail and then weld. You can often spot the ends of the wires protruding on the other side. The lower picture is in a yard, so not track-circuited. Generally only running lines are track-circuited. In the upper picture notice the fishplated joint to FB, which looks to be insulated. Here's a welded BH/FB joint instead (picture from Rodney Hills -- thanks Rodney): FBtoBHjoint.jpg regards, Martin. posted: ...
... . So I have added trailing crossovers at each end of the station. There is no choice but to have them in the sharp curves, which means they have to be very long crossovers to keep the radii within bounds. For the junction on the right, CJF showed a double slip. That was quite impossible at the crossing angle of around 1:5.5 through the diamond. In any case inside slips are not common in running line junctions. I've replaced it with a half-scissors on the branch side. An outside-slip might be an alternative. As you can see from the screenshots below, this is still very much a draft design. It needs a lot of further work. To check clearances, tweak crossing angles, analyse run-round capacities and clearing points, and not least shove all those timbers. It is also important to check that all switches are clear of the vertical curves at the top and bottom of the gradients. I'm therefore very wary of uploading the file in its present form. The last time I ...
235. Swiss Layout
... feet long). It seemed to me a better idea would be to have the platforms at least partially hidden under a train shed on a curve which would mean I wouldn't need to model their entire length. This was an idea I first saw on Chris Pendleton's layout "Kirkwhelpington" at Model Rail 78 in Glasgow. (That layout was the inspiration that got me into finescale (P4) modelling in the first place). The hidden parts on the curve would be the tail end of the fiddle yard and the space outside the train shed put to use on track that would be used to "watch the trains go by". The result is this partially finished modification of Lausanne station. It has everything I want, lots of track, carriage sidings and a locomotive depot. I got the track plan from Google Earth although they seem to have reduced the resolution to a useless level recently. I'm glad I took screen dumps of the station layout before the picture quality dropped. Alan McMillan Attachment: attach_534_774_Lausanne.box 356 Last edited on 28 Mar 2009 ...

Hi Nigel, Well yes, but there is a bit more to it than that. A radius of 2101mm (where did the odd 1mm come from, Alan?) is quite sharp for finescale 7mm. So before making the crossover you would need to check the adjacent track spacing for the turnout side (TS). ...

240. Clifton Down
... at the bottom of Cotham Hill, almost "just across the road". Hi Jim, When I retire and sell C+ L I will have the C+ L store, which is 34 feet x 32 feet. I have never built a continuous circuit layout, but with that amount of space I should be able to create one with realistic radii- I have in mind a folded 'L' shape. My idea was to build one of the smaller stations- Redland, or perhaps Sea Mills, in front= outside, of the fiddle yard. Perhaps when you retire you could help me build it? posted: 30 Sep 2008 15:44 from: Brian Lewis Thanks for the tip Martin- I will remember that. When you look at prototype plans you can see that there are regiments of stations just begging to be modelled. If I had not settled on Clifton Down, I would most probably have modelled Redruth.
