... topic: 1367 System crashes when zooming and manipulating with large background file size posted: 10 Feb 2011 22:10 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Sorry to say I think I have found a fault that crashes my system. The crash occurs when I use one of my large size bitmap files of Birmingham New Street as background in Templot, (with, I might add, no other application running on my PC). The bitmap file loads perfectly OK and provided I do not zoom in too much I can carry on working ad-infinitum (as far as I can estimate). However, when I zoom in very close for alignment purposes, and try to manipulate the control template, it crashes the system. Without the large background file loaded, Templot works fine right up to, and including the largest zoom factors, it is only when I have the large file version of background on the workpad does the problem occur. Please note, if I use smaller background files, these do not seem to give rise to the ...

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. As they haven't got the current copyright laws right in the protection of an artists income versus the power of multinational companies I'm not holding my breath.

It is an established principle that a photographer owns the copyright on the images he creates. If I photograph a drawing using my digital camera I clearly own the copyright on the image. How is using a scanner different, or alternatively where is the line drawn between the two? I could mount my camera on a travelling tripod and effectively ...

264. Dual gauge challenge
... Dual gauge challenge posted: 9 Dec 2007 22:31 from: Alan Pearmain The following prototype trackwork link was posted on the MERG forum in a discussion about dual gauge. Quite a challenge! http://www.farnhammrc.co.uk/noel/Railway9.jpg posted: 9 Dec 2007 23:27 from: Paul Boyd Wow- a challenge indeed! It would be fairly straightforward to build if it wasn't for the moveable K-crossing. I wonder why they did it that way though, rather than share a common rail. posted: 10 Dec 2007 03:44 from: John Lewis Paul Boyd wrote: I wonder why they did it that way though, rather than share a common rail.

Has anyone tried to get a manual for Windows or any Office application in the last 10 year? The most recent MS manual I have is for Excel dated 1993-1994. Even the mighty Bill G's empire has not relied on paper for many years. That has not prevented their dominance of the PC operating system market. I may not like the no manual policy but I have to live with it. Other manuals for their software cost real money from other specialist publishers.

... 11:14 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Apologies. I have now realised that this is the same layout which you posted about before, in this topic: topic 2326 Unfortunately that topic spanned the time of my mother's death, so I wasn't able to give it proper attention at the time. But I did post what seems to be a solution to your straight goods shed in this post: message 15546 File: http://85a.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?id=1670 Admittedly the shed is only about 10" long, but that seems to be the limit of what can be fitted in the space. I notice on that plan there are not the mismatches and misalignments now on the latest plan you posted, so I'm wondering what changes you have been trying to make which have caused these? That plan includes a diamond-crossing having transition curve over transition curve, so I may use it as the basis of the video. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Jan 2015 11:49 from: Martin Wynne p.s. ...

I needed 0.8mm thick timbering to match what I had started using and got some 0.8mm (1 /32") plywood from the local aero modelling shop and slit it by hand, which is not difficult with that thickness.

... . Simon I can appreciate that you prefer not to have a separate boot-up OS for Templot. It is inconvenient and I'm not fond of emulation/compatibility layer programs either. In an emergency they are fine, but long term... I just find too many problems cropping up. With that in mind I am hoping to migrate the Windows component to a separate machine in the next 12 months. This was only ever supposed to be a temporary arrangement.

... 13 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you yet again, yes I am aware that the length disparity between EM and P4 turnouts and crossings, we had a chat some years ago when a Timbertrack fret for a diamond crossing was (and think still are) titled P4/EM size, I had to alter the fret (from memory) either in 2 or 4 places. It was thought that turnouts could be built with little alteration. Thanks also for the information regarding the wing rails As for the pips, a sharp number 10 scalpel blade will sort these (34) out. My thought process is that using the bases will be stronger than individual timbers, plus a bit quicker than cutting timbers from their frets and to length if needed. My only concern is the difference in timber length on the 6 timbers and the missing end one on the heal (which is easily resolved). Just wondered if Len and Jol were using a specific prototypical design Looking at the plan, I could achieve the alterations by removing 2 x 32mm Timbers and add ...
... topic: 3757 (L )NER scissor crossing (from NERA book) posted: 6 Sep 2020 00:11 from: DerekStuart SOLVED: Trust me, I've tried. I've really tried. I'm trying to replicate the 1 in 10 scissor from the NERA book. It describes four C10s and from the overall length I have discovered these have no entry straight at all. The basics have been produced by taking a C10 and forming a crossover and then doing the same again for the other angle. So far so good. The book shows the 'centre' Vs as 1:6 and the Ks as 1:5. I have tried every combination I can think of with locating pegs and the notch and then snaking through, including putting the notch in the dead centre, on the intersections between turnout rails etc, even trying as both IR and IC diamonds, but nothing seems to work. Even as an experiment, I used four diamond 1:10 just to make sure it wasn't something odd with the curve of the turnout; using ...
... topic: 2048 Newbies and complex switches posted: 31 Aug 2012 18:05 from: Compstructor 2376_311249_510000000.jpg Hi, I have spent the last week or so using Templot to design a set of Double slips in 2FS gauge, I was looking around for some info on hinging the crossing rails and to my total disbelief I read that a 1:10 double slip is a no-no and I should be using a switched diamond. Is this really true? I am also a bit confused over moving and non-moving K Crossings. Can somebody put me on the right track, pardon the pun. Shall I need to pull the sleepers up and start again? Photo attached .undefined Thank you in advance Kev. posted: 31 Aug 2012 18:58 from: Tony W Hi Kev. No, from your picture you are doing your 1 in 10 double slip correctly. The rules for prototype diamonds is that for obtuse or K crossings, fixed crossings can only be used where the angle is less than 1 in 8. For those of ...
... mm so they are compatible with standard chaired track construction. 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 ...
... from: RichardS Hello Martin, thank you so much for doing those bits. I think I prefer the B6. I had overlooked transition curves I must admit and hadn't really realised how 'fixed' it all looked. As you might surmise Bosmellin 9 is the 9th attempt- but there were some #As and Bs too in earlier manifestations! I think I was so pleased to have completed something (almost). When I've attended to the sleepers I will post an update. Thanks again. Richard posted: 24 Jun 2017 10:37 from: RichardS Good morning, here is an update but not the one I was hoping to provide. I had decided that I would modify the curves to ease them a bit and move the points to the left along the plan. So far so good. I spent some time looking at transition curves and trying them out on a test plan. Then moved onto my new v12. And this happened. App went unresponsive after the lines appeared but now seems to be stable but I am loathe to touch ...
... topic: 1892 LNER 1930s crossover- rail lengths and timbering posted: 30 Mar 2012 10:02 from: ESJAYTEE This is perhaps a little esoteric, but perhaps one of you may have some info. In templot we can set rail lengths to produce standard panels of plain track. We can specify switch lengths and crossings corresponding to REA and some pre-REA specs, but can we specify the rail length used to make up a turnout? The straight stockrails of the C9's I'm making a crossover from appear to arrive with a joint approximately along with the joint for the switches and another a scale 60' further along the exit road. What would the lengths of blank rail supplied to a P-way yard/manufacturer be? I know 30'/45'/60' is a common measurement for plain track panels, but in what lengths was fresh plain rail supplied? (no bonus points for saying P4exactoL Stores say 0.5m through the post or 1.0m at shows!) I'm trying to replicate an LNER 1930's spec crossover using the ...

It's odd that the actual position of the ground frame isn't shown. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2014 08:47 from: Phil O I don't think that a FPL would be required as the key will be attached to the token and thus any passenger train will not be using the turnout in a reversed condition. The clue is, there is no advanced starter beyond the turnout. I await being shot down in flames. Phil posted: 4 Dec 2014 10:38 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, It is a single-track line, so passenger trains running east to west will see it as facing points.

... topic: 3652 Templot and Linux and 64-bit posted: 2 May 2020 10:45 from: Andrew Hunt Hi everyone, As alluded to elsewhere on the forum, I've been experimenting with making Templot run natively on Linux. The good news is that I managed to get it running without too much trouble, albeit with some parts disabled (which will of course need fixing for my work to be of any real-world use). Firstly, a disclaimer: I've never really used Templot until this week. During my research of modelling in P4, Templot came up time and time again, so it was obvious I should learn how to use it- but then I noticed it was currently Windows only, and I figured I might as well start by trying to make it run on Linux (of course I skipped the easy way out of trying Wine- or even starting up the Windows installation I have at home). While we're on the disclaimers, I've never even built a layout, beyond a Hornby loop laid out on ...
