Martin. posted: 11 Feb 2018 22:36 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Sometimes Meccano can be almost a lifesaver( medical illustrations included) :- Meccano Rob P.S. The link to the Meccano mags is great. The ads are memory testers- all the old names such as ERG in Bournemouth and Hannants( plastic models these days). I remember ordering stamps on approval a few times and the advert for the home printing press always intruiged.

Tried the December 1938 issue and, apart from being astonished at the amount of stuff in it (think the post-war ones I knew were thinner), found a very useful description of the workings of Walschearts valve gear.

263. Making crossing vees
... to make the second cut. The result is as shown after making two cuts on the sander. If it gets hot stop and dip it in a jar of cold water. If necessary the bulk of the metal can be quickly removed with a coarse file or metal shears before finishing on the sander. The end result is an accurately aligned vee comprised of solid rail at the nose. All that then remains is to fettle the running edges at the tip and blunt back the nose. It's a good idea to take a few thou off the top of the nose so that it dips down slightly below the wing rails. This allows for the coning angle on the wheels as they run off the wing rail onto the nose, producing smoother running. Don't overdo it. N.B. Wear a mask while sanding and wash hands afterwards. The sandings will contain lead from the solder. Far East-quality disc sanders are available at lowish cost and very useful for other workshop jobs: sander1.jpg Hope this helps. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Jan ...

... Jan 2018 18:48 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, I can see how to combine two picture shapes into one as seen in the help notes example which is very useful. Am I right in thinking there isn't a way to combine a number of background shapes into one shape that could then be duplicated at will. For example if you had baseboard outlines showing as background shapes and you added shapes to represent wiring connector boxes/control modules/etc to one of them it would be good if you could grab a few of these shapes and replicate them on other boards without having to draw each one again.

268. S curve construction
... get the 'convert half diamond to turnout' to construct a decent turnout for the later 'make slip road' operation- the only difference, that I can see, between my attempts and your video is that your video is mandraulically constructed whereas the crossover in my attempts was auto-constructed as a ladder crossover- resulting in a 1:12 slip. TIA& best rgds, Dave Pundefined Attachment: attach_1647_2221_Newcastle_NSR.box 262 posted: 9 Aug 2013 11:23 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Thanks for posting your file. A few pointers: 1. The Down Loop is too close to the running lines. Where a loop or siding is adjacent to a running line, the rules require the track spacing to be increased by 4ft to 10ft way instead of 6ft way. In 2mm scale you need to increase the spacing by 8mm for 4ft scale. You can do that by mental arithmetic, or simply by entering #8 in the data-entry dialog. Here's a bit of Jing video showing that (in 4mm scale): http:/ ...

The archivist there has recently informed me that they are know making a concerted effort to catalogue properly all the drawings they have. In doing so, they have discovered that some drawing numbers are missing, however this does not necessarily mean they are not there, just that they were not in the expected place. I shall ...
... May 2011 20:49 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, I have the DEVELOPMENT VERSION installed as per your instructions, thanks for the release code. It starts up OK but I managed to crash the program within 5 minutes. The crash can be reproduced as follows :- With some templates in the storage box but nothing in control if you click 'clear all templates' the templates all go off the screen to be replaced by a small box saying 'Your storage box is empty <OK>' which flashes rapidly for a few seconds and the program shuts down. The happens regardless of whether you take the save or not save option. When you restart the program the Templatesare all there again plus it adds a template into control. Do the same to 'clear all templates' when there IS a control template and it clears all background templates and just leaves the control which is what I expected. I tried different numbers of templates and changed gauge/scale but it didn't help. Rob posted: 18 May 2011 22:02 from: Martin Wynne ...
271. Update problem
... whole process. Any advice? Is something buggy? BTW I'm working on Windows 7. Thanks Jacques Gerber posted: 7 Sep 2013 10:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Jacques, I can't see any problem from here. Anyone else seeing this? I think the problem must be a caching issue at your ISP. I have now edited the file on the server which hopefully will update the timestamp and cause your ISP to re-fetch the cache. Please try again now. If still now joy, please wait a few hours and then try again. Templot checks the USA server only if the UK server fails to respond at all. I will change the code so that Templot won't close without trying both servers for a correct response. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Sep 2013 16:56 from: Mick Bonwick Hi Martin, I am having this same problem.

... templates (private use only) and load them into Templot as picture shapes, you can overlay the Templot equivalents and create fully chaired versions of your Templot track plans. (For curved turnouts, use the image wrapping function in the background shapes to curve the scanned image to match.) Here I have done that with the P4 B-8 template and overlaid the equivalent Templot template. To create that in Templot, change to a generic-type V-crossing and convert RAM to CLM crossing angles. I'm hoping these few example screenshots fall within fair dealing for copyright. These templates represent years of work by Len Newman -- please be sure to buy the templates and not copy them from others. Some of the P4 templates are available as free PDF downloads for members of the Scalefour Society. I changed the image to a low-contrast negative image because I find it easier to work over, but that is entirely optional: s4soc_b8_1.png In these close-ups, everything in grey is from the C&L template, everything in colour ...

274. 3D view?
... . Ballasting is in progress in the foreground. The Santa Fe Railway has running powers over these GWR metals, and a train will shortly be arriving in the bay platform on the left. hc_3pi_2.jpg Here is my track plan for Hopton Clee. I created it in Templot and then exported a DXF file using the 3D Solid option for the DXF. The screenshot above shows the result after importing the file into 3rd PlanIt. The coloured rectangle is my attempt to sink the sleepers (ties) in some ballast. I added a few sample structures from the 3rd PlanIt libraries to create better perspective effects. The 3rd PlanIt file for this plan can be downloaded from http://templot.com/3pi/hopton_clee_and_trains.3pi It can be opened and the trains run in the free demo version of 3rd PlanIt. You won't be able to draw additional tracks from scratch in that version or save files, but you can add further trains and buildings from the supplied libraries. Or import your own Templot track plan by exporting it from Templot as a DXF file. If you ...

In the meantime the 7mm castings seem to have gone reasonably well and I have a small stock of the Heyback chairs for Flatbottom, I haven't decided on a price for these as yet and there is no photo as yet since I haven't got around to acquiring any Code 143FB. However, the crossing nose chairs are now available for purchase. Price is 50p for the 2 halves, though anybody wishing to purchase should probably think about buying a few, to save on postage. See attachment for picture. For anybody who has seen them on my website, please note new pricing and also could I just mention before anybody asks, the boltheads with square plates are from Grandt Line. I think they have ...
276. TDV Road Map
... that be possible? Hi Alan, Just to let you know that this is now in the latest TDV update,# 4435. Also, you can now print the output with both FB foot edges. Be warned that this is an improvised implementation in this TDV. It works by creating duplicate templates, so makes a big demand on memory and system resources. Attempting to convert and print your entire large track plan in one go is likely to crash your computer and take a fortnight to print anything. I suggest converting a few templates to FB at a time, printing them out, then converting them back before doing a few more.

There is a Windows dialog behind with the message "Pug release has stopped working" with the options of "Debug" or "Close Program" Before "Close Program" the option reads "Cancel", clicking this makes Templot enter a screaming tight loop, with myriads of dialogs all reading "Access violation 005B8001 Reading memory 000002D8" Uninstalling/reinstalling has had no effect.

279. Checkrail on curves
... a@y Just to fine-tune my answer, these are the P4 versions, there are others with a wider setting for thicker flanges etc. As to the other questions, I've noted that in some cases (my WHL station of Glenfinnan) the check-rail and wing rail of a nearby turnout "merged", so that could be your answer.a@y Last edited on 24 Nov 2014 21:49 by alan@york posted: 24 Nov 2014 21:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Derek, A few points about check rails on curves. 1. if you follow the prototype rules strictly you find that most model curves require check rails -- which would look a bit daft. 2. most curves sharp enough to need a check rail also have some gauge-widening. In which case you can't use the standard check rail chair because where there is gauge-widening the check-rail gap increases by the same amount as the widening. A check rail is always gauged from the opposite running rail. However, C ...
... 8 sleepers (N1 to N8) have been rolled-in in front of the first rail joint on the current template. The result is a full rail length of 13 sleepers (5+ 8) across the boundary, and the sleeper spacing at the boundary is now correct. Previously it was necessary to enter the rolled-in rail lengths manually using the data showing in the info panel, or to use the CTRL-F4 roll rails and sleepers mouse action. Now Templot does it for you. There are a few restrictions, and you need to work methodically: Both the current template and the selected background template must be plain track templates. To use this function for the approach or exit tracks on a turnout or half-diamond template, you must first split them off as separate plain track templates -- use the tools> make split> menu items. You can work from either the CTRL-0 or CTRL-1 end of the background template, but the rolled in rail length applies only to the CTRL-1 end ...
