... (After years of 'blockade running', shipping embargoed goods ex the US for delivery to Iran, it would be a refreshing change to bring things in legally...). In fact I- and anyone else who has a contract with a Card Provider, will soon have to be looking more closely at the whole question of Internet Security. PCI DSS- Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is on its way in and it appears that we must soon obtain accreditation- at a price of course, from an outside body.

I'll do that as and when but at the moment I am only just about starting up again after house renovations, so given the amount of data now available it might take some little time. By the way I've put some other pictures of the outside single slip on my website if you are interested, one of them just about shows that templot was used.

... see the member user name in the the From field of Templot Club emails*. You may need to adjust your filter settings accordingly (there is now a filter tag in the Subject field). And talking of RMWeb, why are you offering Templot support on there? Surely the place for that is here where it can be shared with all Templot users? It also means that support questions might be answered by other Templot users. It was suggested to me that Templot was effectively invisible to a great swathe of the hobby outside of the "scale" societies, so some banner ads on RMweb seemed a good way to address that: templot_banner1.png templot_banner2.png Andy Y offered me a package deal including dedicated forum space in the "Trade Showcase" area of RMweb. The idea was that Templot would be one of many products featured there, but so far there has only ever been two. I have heard it said that some folks find this Templot Club forum goes a bit over their head, and are put off from joining and posting for that reason ...
... as "Selectors", one signal worked by either No15 or 18 levers. It's more usual to have it the other way, i.e. one lever working either of two signals depending on the "Lay" of the points. The picture I sent was taken about Easter 1980 and before I moved on elsewhere. I ended up back at Cherry Tree early 1983 and by which time both running lines had been fully "Track Circuited" and all the signal wires runs etc replaced. "16 Points" then had a conventional outside detector/selector. You can just note the change in the later 1983 "Type 2" picture: cherry_tree_crossing2_may_1983.jpg© Mick Nicholson Thanks Mick. Martin.

If there is no contact that can be identified from an internet search I can try asking a few people, if that helps. best wishes Richard posted: 29 Sep 2018 14:09 from: Tony W Hi David.

... engineer I'm always looking for the most efficient (lazy!) route. You are right, the photo is from some time in the '50s- but in fact the plans do line up. There was a minor adjustment around 1926 when they took out a turntable and also removed a crossover from one of the centre roads through the platforms, but apart from that it pretty much seems to have remained as per the photo until closure. The photo did highlight that what I thought was a double slip, is in fact an outside double slip, so I've got one of those plus another 3 single slips to build. All as you say constructed on a flowing basis so it should be quite a challenge to build it! Kind regards, Jim posted: 10 Feb 2009 16:47 from: JimH Hi Martin, I totally agree with your sentiments about roaming along the length, this is what I had been doing to create my own formations. As for the map I "googled" for old maps and got it from a site called mapquest.com ...
... Insert a turnout and put the peg on position 3. Put it onto the notch and then turn it into a half-diamond. You can then play around by adjusting the crossing Vee and the common K-crossing until the diamond route matches you other template. Then make the second half of the diamond and adjust this in the same way. I have purposely not stated all the commands you need to press as the process is more important. And just to show off, I have managed to create a semi-outside slip where both turnout roads are diverging away from the slip route, as this first attachment shows: I know it isn't quite right yet, but it does give you an idea of the possibilities.

That's the internet link between his servers and the outside world. But it's a big extra investment for him, so we are expecting some "adjustments" to the hosting fees when they come up for renewal. The result is that most users in the world should be seeing a big improvement today in response times to Templot Club. Unfortunately some users in the UK, including me, and possibly others elsewhere, are seeing that occasionally a page takes a very long time to load. As far as I can trace, this is being caused by errors on an internet link ...

252. Cropped sketchboard
... topic: 2227 Cropped sketchboard posted: 3 Jun 2013 10:50 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin, Is there any way to set the Sketchboard limits well outside the track plan? I had a track plan with the Sketchboard extending quite a way beyond it to show the scenic area. I then deleted some un-needed track which was placed even further above the Sketchboard area and suddenly the Sketchboard display was cropped to one grid square north of the track area. If I put back a piece of unwanted track and make sure that it is not the control, then the cropped area of Sketchboard re-appears. Is this intended, or is there a way to set the displayed area of Sketchboard both on the Sketchboard generator and on the track plan?

... . Remember Fotopic that collapsed? I had pictures there, but only as copies. That is very much a personal decision, but it would be interesting to hear other people's views. Geoff posted: 24 Jun 2013 19:02 from: Paul Boyd Hi Geoff but it would be interesting to hear other people's views. I take the view that cloud storage should be used in conjunction with a proper backup plan. SkyDrive, which I mentioned earlier, is great and I have used it as a backup, but ultimately it's outside of my control. Off-site external hard drives are the way to go! I also have some concerns about data security of cloud storage, so I wouldn't have bank account details, for instance, on there. Backup routines and the script I use have been discussed here, but the gist is that I take monthly incremental backups on top of occasional (4 -6 monthly) full backups to external hard drives, one of which is kept 50 miles away from home. As with any backup, it's usefulness ...
... required pages before you start any printing. Templot is a bit more flexible in allowing you to print pages one at a time, but it can't change the way Windows works. You must select the next page before it will print the previous one. That's the reason for the two big buttons, yellow and green. You must click one or other of them if you don't want to click the page buttons for every page. Exactly what happens depends on your printer driver and the spooler settings on the system, which is outside of Templot's control. regards, Martin.

... original two templates and try again. Inspite all the improvements/ additions Martin has added to Templot over the years this still seems to be the greatest stumbling block for many people, and I really don't see an easy way to resolve it as there are so many permutations of Tandem turnouts that automating the process (as has been done so spectacularly for irregular Diamonds) is not a realistic option. Whilst it is possible to lay down a set of basic principles the different types with the third crossing in between the running lines and outside the running lines need slightly different approaches, as also do Three thows, so one standard set of instructions isn't realistically an option. I have thought more than once of trying to put together a set of steps explaining my approach as it differs in a number of ways from Martin's, but have found many of the snags Martin undoubtedly has.

256. Laser cutting
... try CorelDRAW v12 (or earlier), which some agencies use. The agencies all use different colours for different layers and one colour is the cut line and the other is set to do a half cut. You can even do scratch marks with a third colour, so you could, for example, mark the rail edges. Most machines will take up to 8 colours, so you can also prioritise the order in which parts are cut (e.g. to cut the centre out of a window frame, before cutting the outside of the frame). If you do a half cut through each of the tabs, it is then easy to cut them off where not required. However, this has to be programmed into each specific model of laser cutter. e.g.- which colour means which type of cut i.e. to set the power of the laser- which order to use each layer/ colour (you should do the half cuts first)- how deep to cut each layer. Usually you have to set this up by trial and ...
257. Another one lost
... : 17 Jan 2014 12:34 from: Nigel Brown I've a slightly different slant on things. Problem analysis and problem solving are skills, they only come with experience, and how far an individual can go down that road depends on the individual. Someone who goes through a university degree, or an equivalent educational process (I use the word educational in a wide sense), is likely to be further down that road than someone who has recently left school. And using a serious software package for the first time without outside help requires those problem tackling skills. This particular individual does not seem to have acquired those skills, as of yet. It's a general problem and I don't think there's any easy way around it. For example, seems to me the obvious thing to start with in Templot is to draw and print out a simple turnout or two, of the sort you might be interested in, in the scale you are using. It will teach you a lot about the basics of using Templot. It seems to me that the ...
