... topic: 3837 Admin: web site changes posted: 19 Dec 2020 20:07 from: Martin Wynne For over 15 years now, the entire Templot web site and my email has been in the capable hands of Jim Hale in Columbus, Ohio. The service from Jim's little web hosting company has been superb. Any problem rapidly dealt with. Every email quickly answered. Valuable knowledge and advice freely offered. A complete opposite to the trouble and strife I'd had with larger UK-based hosting companies previously. But all good things come to an end. Jim has reached an age where getting up in the middle of the night to dash to the data centre has lost its appeal. He says he is looking to find someone to take over his business, or if not to begin winding it down. So far there is no-one interested, and he has not been taking on new customers for some time now. Either way, it would seem that it's time to bring the Templot web site home to the UK. Jim has ...

Not least the gauge choice. I will have to have a look at the specs on the internet before giving a definative answer. However 1:7 would be ok by me as I have made up some 1 in 7 vees Regards Clive posted: 3 May 2015 23:07 from: Clivo Hi Martin, Make That B7.5 regards Clive posted: 19 May 2015 10:58 from: Clivo I Have now got the SF gauges and have changed the plan to SF.also have changed the vee angle to 7.5.

... topic: 2721 Blank after turnout posted: 8 Jul 2015 09:07 from: Godfrey Earnshaw I created a transition from curve and tighter curve.I inserted a turnout in plain track. Immediately track beyond turnout blanks. If I roam the turnout the blanking goes with it.If I make Branch Track, track is timbered.I have looked through all the "do" options.I have looked through the "generator" options. I'm puzzled, I have done this hundreds of times before and never seen this.

You need to change it to exit sleepered. p.s. except in the switch you have the timbering centres much closer than scale -- the ganger may have trouble hitting the keys. Also the vee nose is not properly supported in the A chair. Have you copied ...

... first copy is using. I was running two copies from the same .exe file, which the programme recommends against in any case, so this might just be a side effect of that. Either way it is not at all a problem and once you select your preferred option it stays with it, but I thought I would let you know anyway. In fact, under windows 8 with lots of memory I have had 4 copies going at the same time without any ill effect. Derek posted: 28 Sep 2015 22:07 from: Martin Wynne DerekStuart wrote: FYI when running more than one copy of Templot the second copy uses equalised timbers as standard, regardless of what the first copy is using. Hi Derek, I can't reproduce that from a standing start, but that's not surprising because there is no possible mechanism to cause it. However, if you launch 2 or more instances of the Templot .exe from the same folder they will be sharing much of their data, backup files, etc. It's likely that you were using equalized timbers ...

... to match the turnout curves. I'm not sure if this way of working is better or worse than my previous suggestion of overlaying short individual crossings on the underlying turnout rails. When I've got 227a released I will make a bit of video showing how to do this. Over to you to sort out the timbering. p.s. when you load the BOX file in 226f you will get a warning message about the later file, you can ignore it. cheers, Martin.

That's above and beyond what I could have asked of you. 14 templates? That's where I was going wrong- I thought it should work with 4 C10s and one v5/k5 diamond.... then I got it sort-of right with splitting the centre ...

... and that is probably the problem. I will start using the output menu instead of the print now. In regard to that, after loading the previous calibration settings from the file "button," what pops up is the cal file and I hit open, then all went well. Would it be possible on the print now feature, if there is only one printer calibrated and in the file, that the print now feature would use that calibration by default?

Hi John, I'm having a think about that. There is a significant problem -- using the wrong calibration data is likely to be 10 times worse than using the printer uncalibrated. Even if Templot finds some saved calibration data, there is no way of knowing that it applies to the very same ...
