Please make backups, or better yet use a source control system. My red. From which I assumed that its purpose was to convert code written in Lazarus for use in Delphi. Also that it was 10 years old and likely to be out-of-date for modern versions of Lazarus. Also "make readable" is a joke for me, because having now tried it on a couple of files it does the exact opposite. Look at this for example then begin if p2.x= def_req then p2.X := rings[ring_list_index, 0]; if p2.y= def_req then p2.y := rings[ring_list_index, 1]; end else begin if p2.x= def_req then p2.X := screenx/ 2; // arbitrary ...
... 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 !!

The reason was to prove that there is an alternative method of building the common crossing for those who are happy to build common crossings in the copperclad construction method, rather than a free standing method For those wishing for added detail the following can be used Bridge chairs, These are used from the transition of block chairs (in either the common crossing or additional slide chair packs) to standard chairs where there is not enough room for a standard chair (either side of 10 used per turnout) these are £8.50 per 100 so after deducting the cost of standard chairs add a few pence to the bill Common crossing chairs A pack contains a set of 5 different sizes (1 -5 ,6 ,7 ,8& 10) At £4.50 if you can use the whole pack then 90p a turnout but a saving of appx 8 chairs per turnout Additional switch chairs, a pack contains one left and one right hand set (plenty of bits left over) £2.25 per turnout and ...
... a simple example of what I mean. (Deliberately so there is no easy drop in curve) I have say 2 shed roads which are fixed, lengthen one of the roads and insert a turnout. What is the best way to now link the other road to the turnout? To date I have had to put plain track on either end of the gap and then fiddle around with length and radius until they meet neatly: I presume there is a better way?

... FB-109, BS-110A and BS-113A sections, the dimension you want is 4.1/8" (4.125"), as shown below. Another handy trick is to print a duplicate template on tracing paper (use an ink-jet printer, one sheet at a time). You can then lay this on the rail tops during construction, to check and confirm the alignments.

I am guessing the vast majority of users are more interested in bullhead rail, which kind of keeps flatbottom support shunted down the priority list. I hadn't appreciated the issues relating to the rail being canted at 1 in 20 as I don't tend to try and recreate it in model form, so full marks for trying to get it right. Another option, which others might like to comment on, is the possibility of doing an interim release featuring the rail ...

Getting the balance between access to public information and income for preservation of that information is one that sovereign governments will have to address more clearly in the digital age.

... topic: 3499 output elements- new settings and print preview posted: 10 Sep 2019 20:51 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin, I seem to be finding my way back to Templot again! There's a couple of features that would be quite nice to have, if they're not already there somewhere:- When printing the background templates, any platforms with a solid infill obliterate any text, such as timber numbering or "blunt nose" etc. Could it be arranged so that the platform is always underneath any text? Hatching partially solves this, but even so, the text then becomes chopped up. The other one, which I'm sure is an option somewhere, is to not show the template number on the output, so just "A11" instead of "PL172.A11".

It's been over 10 years since you joined, and good to hear from you for the first time. I think that may be a record. I don't think it's possible to lose the toolbars entirely, but if you have done they should reappear if you restart Templot normally without using your saved program preferences. I'm guessing that you have lost only the bottom row by inadvertently clicking the 1 row button. Having them all on one long row needs a wide-screen monitor. If you click the 2 rows button, they should come back ...
