Watched the one showing Norman drawing and laying out the junction, thank goodness this is what Templot supersedes, though Norman makes it look an enjoyable process, as he's such an expert.

... Intel emulator for older software? is the emulator any good? 3. if RISC, does a virtual Windows machine such as Parallels Desktop still work on there? Natively, or in an emulator? 4. if RISC, is there any equivalent of Bootcamp? 5. whether RISC or not, is there any way CrossOver will still run and support Templot? 6. can Linux be installed on there? If on RISC, would CrossOver Linux work that way? As you can see I'm in a complete fog about Mac developments. The main thing is that I don't want to go on suggesting Templot can be run on a Mac if that is no longer the case, or soon won't be. Hence the original title of this topic. Thanks for any help. cheers, Martin. posted: 8 Dec 2020 17:09 from: Dave Summers 1. Either is possible until stocks of Intel-based machines are exhausted 2.

... vmjFK4us4vxA2 which took so many hours to make and edit that I won't be doing any more -- and in any event it is now out of date because there have been further program changes which render some of it redundant. The main Templot documentation is a work-in-progress at: http://templot.com/companion/ All the above having been said, I'm afraid the docs for Templot are currently in an utter mess, having been built up over 20+ years as the program was first released and then developed and changed. I have promised many times over the years to sort it all out. But it has become too daunting a task, and nowadays I prefer to go for a walk with my camera. There is a reason why Templot is now free.

So the track plan will be similar, but altered to my requirements. Sightly compressed in length. Using commercially available building kits altered to give the flavour of the station, perhaps keeping the goods shed. Sort of how it might have developed, rather than a slavish representation I wish I knew not only how to import these maps into Templot, but also how to get it to the correct size. As far as I am concerned a total black art. When ever I try with scanned maps the enlargements tend to be out of focus etc Thanks again, much appreciated posted: 3 Feb 2018 17:32 from: Tony W Martin Wynne wrote: The turnouts turned out to be 1:8 as usual, but will have moved since then (for ...

... But. I have had templot (2.13a) for awhile now and are getting to grips with it to create basic track plans. But one think I seemingly can't figure out is how to draw the templates with flat bottom rail instead of bullhead. When I go into real and go to rails and select "head and foot (flat-bottom rail)" the programme info box appears and there is some information about this function being a" provisional implementation". So am I right in thinking at this point in templots development this can't be done with templot at the moment. I am guessing someone has some answers. Or a way round it Thanks. Adam. posted: 18 Jun 2016 20:44 from: Martin Wynne Hi Adam, Welcome to Templot Club. The flat-bottom function does work, but not on the screen. You see the results only on the printed templates, and only for background templates (not the control template). That's why it is called "provisional". In practice this isn't too much of ...

... that a track spacing of 46.3mm centres would be suitable for this EM track at this radius, instead of the usual 6ft way (44.67mm centres). I could then have gone on to do tools> make double-track TS if I wished. For more about using the dummy vehicle tool, see: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?dummy_vehicle_tool.htm I'm sorry the screenshots on that page are a little out-of-date, I find it impossible to keep the help notes up to date as I develop the program. Obstructions between the tracks such as signal posts can be represented using the background shapes functions, or sketchboard items. You can then check the clearance from the dummy vehicle (as for the signal box on the above page). regards, Martin. posted: 28 Apr 2016 12:01 from: RK Hello Martin, Many thanks.

The manufacturer's headline announcement is that it is developing brand new code 75 Streamline bullhead track for OO. The new flexible wooden-sleeper track (ref.SL-108F) will be representative of the type which was commonplace across the UK rail-network throughout the steam era, seeing use on both mainlines and secondary routes. Indeed, bullhead track can still be found today on some parts of the national network. Bullhead%20001%20CU.jpg The new bullhead track will be fully compatible with the firm's existing code 75 flat-bottom Streamline range, but will feature proportionally greater spacing ...
