To read about all the changes in Templot2 (long page): topic 1511- message 9413 regards, Martin. posted: 7 Apr 2013 18:02 from: Hayfield Martin Thanks very much, I was scared of updating to Templot 2. Is there any need to keep the old version once you have templot 2 please Do they have seperate icons, if not how do you go from one to the other please. Thanks again John posted: 7 Apr 2013 22:10 from: stuart1600 John, I would strongly advise you to keep version 0.9 of Templot. Recently I had a fault on a telephone line which took BT almost a month to resolve, during which time I had no broadband connection, and so was unable to use Templot 2. I reverted to using 0.9 which I still had on my computer. I didn't notice any significant problems in loading box files created in Templot2 into 0.9, nor in subsequently re-loading them into Templot2 after BT finally bestirred themselves into repairing the ...
... Black Ash. A tin goes a long way. posted: 3 May 2018 08:54 from: Michael Henfrey I'm not sure, I just seen it recommended a few times from different people, I've gone abit too far now to switch it over so hopefully it should be ok. I will have a look at the Iso Alcohol version though.. Yeah I have stabbed myself a few times so far but I reckon that for every 2 chairs I put on 1 will break on the underside posted: 3 May 2018 10:16 from: Jim Guthrie It could be that the problem of the chairs breaking is not with them, but with the rail section if the web of the rail has got thicker for some reason- i.e. if the rail the chairs were designed for is no longer available and a close substitute has been sourced.

... . 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.

Please could you draw a very simple DXF file in DoubleCad on your system and post it here. i.e. just a few straight lines at random. Thanks.

... for a while, but I thought that I would load the latest version and try out the new NLS mapping function. I tried to open Templot, but when it tried to check for the latest version, there was an error message "Sorry, unable to connect to the Templot website. Please check your internet connect and then try again." I restarted the computer, but with the same result. I then manually downloaded and installed version 2.15.d, but with the same result. This was on the laptop running Windows 10 home 64-bit version. I then tried to open Templot 2.13.a on the desktop computer, also running Windows 10 home 64-bit version, but get the same result. The internet connection is fine- I have restarted the router. Any ideas? Mick Ralph posted: 9 Oct 2017 16:14 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mick, Sorry to hear you are having problems.

... 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 ...
269. MERG DCC system
... topic: 3113 MERG DCC system posted: 21 Oct 2017 23:52 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Prompted by a reply on another Templot thread tonight I would be interested to know any thoughts or owners experiences on the MERG kits for a DCC command station and handset as reviewed in BRM last year. It would make joining MERG worth it to get a full feature system for a very reasonable price. Some of the kits for signal and turnout control sound interesting too. Regards Rob posted: 22 Oct 2017 10:50 from: Charles Orr Hi, I have been a member of MERG for at least the last 10 years, Templot even longer. I have built a full CBUS DCC system, comprising a handset, command station and boosters. I use it to control my still evolving layout. I started many years ago with a ZTC system, changed to Lenz and now CBUS DCC. I'm very happy with the precise, flexible control it provides and would thoroughly recommend it. So for me it's TEMPLOT for track and MERG for control ...
... because using a previous inkjet printer, an Epson 820 Photo Printer, I was able to align these bang on and this has always amazed me. My current new printer is a Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. I have to add, this is after a fresh install of the software running 0.91c. Would appreciate any thoughts people may have on this, and whether I have Templot set correctly.

... topic: 1919 Three Way Tandem Point posted: 10 Apr 2012 19:50 from: Les Waters I have been using Templot for off and on for several years as and when the need arose. I have just started on planning for my new layout which is prototypical. I have had the track plan scanned and I am using this as a background shape. All has gone very well using TDV except for a three way tandem point- the very last piece of the jigsaw. The problem is my lack of knowledge and terminology. When I try to follow the excellent Templot video I can sort of understand it until my lack of knowledge takes over. Specifically, I do not know if what I am trying to do is allowed bearing in mind the background shape of the prototype requires two staggered B8 LH switches. These appear to be the best fit. Would this be allowed? The other area where I am failing is the third crossing and blades which from the video seem to be a user choice and I have not got a clue ...
... 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 ...
... topic: 3181 Background shapes- Crop/Combine posted: 10 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.

... topic: 3371 Trainset Point Planning posted: 10 Jan 2019 13:14 from: Bill Adlington I have an N Gauge Group that would find Templot and making points like Witchcraft but happily chop-up track over a printed plan. I can get along with Trax and use it well to make the best of set-points in a plan but the printing side of Trax complicated on larger plans. I am asking here (on 85A) if it would be possible to make "point plans" as such (would stay within Templot as a saved file or a saved track section on the plan) that only match the rail geometry of set-points at the outer edge of the turnout as made- say at where the check rail end and the other end at point blade toes?...yes, all the sleeper/timber locations that Templot produces would be ignored as they have been set by the manufacturer on the set-point.

... topic: 2515 Wheelset sideways slop between rails posted: 20 Aug 2014 10:45 from: Brian McK Greetings all, I'm modelling New Zealand's 3' 6" gauge system circa 1920s to 1:48 scale. While I can produce my own wheels and trackwork scaled exactly true from the prototype, do recognise that a very slight increase of the 1-3 /4 inch wide turnout flangeways with a commensurate adjustment to wheelset B to B may be a more realistic goal for construction and operational reliability. However, my question is this. In trying to ascertain dimensions for assembled wheelsets, what amount of "sideways slop" is appropriate for wheelsets in my scale on 22.2mm gauge? I'm aware that a tightening of track gauge has improved matters for O scalers (O -MF etc) and that a similar practice is occuring in 4mm scale, thus removing some of the clearance allowed for "trainset" wheels to run around curvature of dinner plate radius. I could study P4 and S7 etc and perhaps formulate something from that. But maybe there ...
