Martin, as ever thank you for a comprehensive reply and I take your point re Windows. It isn't the best (by a long way) and any software written prior to 1995 isn't likely to comply with it. I didn't realise Templot was of that vintage ;-)- it certainly doesn't look it.

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!

243. 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 ...

... topic: 3615 Emails missing or delayed? posted: 21 Feb 2020 10:02 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I'm noticing that some emails from the Templot Forum are either being delayed or don't arrive at all. For instance, in the "Beginners queries" thread, I've only had the email reply about Templot being a 3D program, timed at 05:19 (don't you sleep?!?!?) The previous two posts haven't (yet) arrived, and neither are they in any junk folders. I've also noticed this on other threads, but can't work out a pattern. The delays have been as much as a few days! Is this just me, or is anyone else seeing this? Edit:- this post came through by email virtually instantly, of course!

Derek posted: 3 May 2010 09:10 from: roythebus Going back to the days when I built the MRC's New Annington layout, we built the oo track with scale 6' spacing with superelevation on the curves. Of course the stock hit each other, when we realised we should have allowed for the underscale gauge! We had to rebuild the curved section to allow for this. I can't remember what track spacing we used, but it was more a case of trial and error in those days. but as others have said, do allow for axle end ...

Tim posted: 9 Dec 2010 11:56 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tim, Welcome to Templot Club.____ The static "track plan tutorial" is at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/tut5a.htm and uses version 074b of Templot.

... 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.

Thanks again John posted: 7 Apr 2013 22:10 from: stuart1600 John, I would strongly advise you to keep version 0.9 of Templot. Recently I had a fault on a telephone line which took BT almost a month to resolve, during which time I had no broadband connection, and so was unable to use Templot 2. I reverted to using 0.9 which I still had on my computer. I didn't notice any significant problems in loading box files created in Templot2 into 0.9, nor in subsequently re-loading them into Templot2 after BT finally bestirred themselves into repairing the ...
... time tomorrow, I shall be in exactly in the same position as you. I think I have procured an HP A3 ink jet printer from a local Computer Aladdin's Cave. Yes it is the very same Crawley but as for being just up the road we regard Reigate as being in the far north akin to being in Lapland. I appreciate very much your kind offer and may very well take it up but first let me see if the printer here is forthcoming.

(See attached part screen shot). 2_151216_490000000.jpg I have tried to alter this, without success. Any idea on how to fix it?

... topic: 2668 Turnout operating units posted: 3 Apr 2015 20:10 from: madscientist I came across a nice demonstration of turnout building, where the switch blade activation was done by bringing a pin, soldered to the blade, and then run through a slot in the slide chair to a a connector strip immediately underneath the sleeper. Haven't seen this before, but looked very neat and had the advantage that the hole in the baseboard is under a sleeper as hence hidden and no ballast etc can fall down Has any one seen this used in earnest, this particular example was a demonstration unit rathe then installed on a layout Dave posted: 12 Apr 2015 18:03 from: madscientist 97 views and no comments !! posted: 12 Apr 2015 18:09 from: Martin Wynne madscientist wrote: 97 views and no comments !!

256. Autumnal gloom
... backs up- if I read one more photo caption that describes a train list as a "consist" I'm going to commit murder! (If its' on the back of an engine, it's a train, if its on paper its a train list.) Which brings me to the "cleverness". Even on computer groups, where the noisy contributors have ego's that require wharehouses to store them, newcommers will be helped along, if a little abruptly sometimes, so they can join in. Can you imagine a 10 or 12 year old's reaction to the cigars or pipes? I can- it would not be positive! Little Damien doesn't to know how many rivets are on a tender, but he might need to know that the Scroggins 9f won't go round 1st radius curves. As an experienced modeller I got a bit hot under the collar when I describe a method of ballasting track I've used for many, many years with great success was denounced as rubbish, and I was told how to do it "his way" like it ...
... 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 ...

... Kenneth Becket wrote: Depends on whether it is thought necessary to assign keyboard shortcuts, couldn't menu items alone be sufficient? Yes, they are necessary! If you'd ever suffered seriously from RSI, you too might realise how necessary they are! I can't use a mouse for more than about 20/30 minutes, and use a pen/tablet both at home and work- I don't even have a mouse connected at home. Besides, it's really irritating to have a keyboard with a gadzillion keys, the average number of 10 digits spread across two hands, and not to be able to use all of them instead of just permanently clutching a mouse or pen in the same position Martin- those changes don't look too daunting. The main change I'll need to remember is the F9 becoming Shift-F9. I like the idea of being able to change the V angle without changing the switch, and of course I didn't know that there was already a way of doing that!

... 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 ...
