... separately for load and save) for the remainder of the session. One thing I've found which helps with organising box files is to put them in sub-directories of the default directory, one sub-directory for each project, rather than in the default directory itself. Also, the examples provided with Templot I've cleared out of the default directory and shoved in a directory called Examples. This keeps box-files associated with unrelated projects separate, while still leaving them reasonably quick to access.

242. Crossing baseplate
... topic: 3149 Crossing baseplate posted: 7 Dec 2017 07:42 from: davelong Hi all, quick question. I'm planning to use a nickel silver baseplate below my common crossings. (P4) I've read that it's advisable that the Vee nose is slightly lower than the surrounding wing rails, but by how much is recommended? The reason for that question being the baseplate thickness available from Eileen's is either 18thou or 22thou thickness, and with using exactoscale chairs which I believe nominally hold the rail at 0.6mm above the timbers. Which would have the preferable height 0.45 (18thou) or 0.55 (22thou)? Many thanks.

243. 3 Way Tandem
... to use a gaunt turnout, or an irregular half-diamond. That way the turnout radius can be adjusted independently of the crossing angle. (using SHIFT-F12 or F10 respectively) Sometimes it is easier to get the desired result with a gaunt turnout, sometimes with an irregular half-diamond. It is mainly trial and error to decide which in any given case. I will make you a bit of video shortly showing how to align the middle V-crossing. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2017 07:58 from: Alan Kettlewell Hi Martin, Many thanks for the reply and the pointers. I'll do it a few more times as each time I do it a little more of the process sinks into the little grey cell. The left turnout is part of a crossover but I'll read up on gaunt turnouts as these were not featured in the older tutorials I was following. I found the process of learning how to construct a tandem brought me on considerably in my understanding of Templot and of trackwork- if a Templot ...

This is the result on the sketchboard: 2_101848_140000002.png If you wanted a coloured fill between the trackbed edges on the sketchboard, that would be a lot of additional coding which I'm leaving for now. However, if all templates have trackbed edges, and all the same width, and the track is central between the edges, you can get a similar effect using the existing track background function: 2_101848_140000001.png 2_101848_140000003.png cheers, Martin. posted: 11 Dec 2017 07:53 from: Phil O Hi Martin That's just great.

... regards, Martin. posted: 23 Mar 2008 23:28 from: richard_t It was the V crossing rails- but I see that the "Half Diamond Check Rail" doesn't shorten the checkrails below an angle of 1:6, and I've found if I do a "B6 turnout reset", and then start from there it worked out all fine! I was going to post again, but got dragged out. A mouse action for the checkrails would be good Thanks Richard. posted: 25 Mar 2008 04:07 from: BeamEnds I had a similar hiccup with my single slip (see Soddingham thread), for some reason the V check rail on the bottom half of the diamond that the slip is based on would not respond to the "shorten for slip" menu item. Not a show stopper, so I didn't raise it as a bug, plus I'd been messing around with the slip for ages so I've probaby done something daft. I'd not had this happen pre the lastest release, but that could be a red herring ...

When you say other stuff prints ok, what sort of stuff? Have you tried with other drawing programs which print drawings and graphics, such as Microsoft Paint? The problem seems to apply only to black items.

That setting isn't saved between sessions, so next time you re-start Templot it will be back to hi-res, and will probably work fine. It may have been a one-off glitch -- your computer may have been busy doing something else, such as an update or backup at the same time. Windows 10 can be very annoying that way, especially if it doesn't get a nice fast internet connection. The core sketchboard engine ...
... is otherwise perfectly legitimate. In terms of interlocking, the home signal controlling admission to the loop over 6 points locks 3 and 8 points normal when cleared. Conversely, reversal of 3 and 8 as a pair locks that home signal so as to prevent a conflict between an approaching train and a movement into/out of the sidings. Whichever way you go about it, there's no need for the trap points 2, which, as Tony says, are rendered surplus by points 3. posted: 24 Aug 2019 08:07 from: Michael Henfrey Brilliant, Thanks guys Those detailed explanations will help me went I plan out the point rodding too.

252. Track bed Width
... topic: 2823 Track bed Width posted: 18 Jan 2016 07:52 from: Gordon S Is it possible to lock the trackbed width to a specific dimension? I have double track width changing from 44.47mm on straight track to 50mm on curve track to avoid long wheelbase vehicles clashing. I've only just appreciated that the track bed width is a function of the track centres and changes as the track centres change. Setting trackbed width at 90mm gives an overall width of 140mm when using 50mm track centres. Reducing that to 44.67mm track centres now means the trackbed is only 134.67mm wide. When building an 'open plan' layout with dedicated trackbed rather than a flat baseboard, it would be useful to set double track trackbed as a fixed dimension for continuity purposes throughout the layout. posted: 18 Jan 2016 08:25 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: I've only just appreciated that the track bed width is a function of the track centres and changes as the track centres change.

... though -- if you set the absolute maximum printable size the printer may object (because of rounding effects). N.B. Check the printable area for the printer, it's not usually the full paper size. I doubt that an A0 printer can print 841mm width. That's the full width of A0 paper. But roll paper is usually 36 inches wide (914mm), so A0 sizes are easily accommodated. You need to get the available printable width from the print shop. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2016 07:56 from: johnbirch72 Thanks Martin. I missed the p.s. in the earlier reply.
