... of OO-sf Gauges has been ordered from the machine shop (the same one that I used) and so should be available direct from C&L in the not-too-distant future; I don't think that the Gauges feature on the C&L website yet though, so perhaps it would be worth dropping Pete an email to express an interest. Many thanks to all who have purchased Gauges from me in the past- I hope they've proved useful. I've had some fun with the project over the last few years and I'm happy to pass on the task of Gauge supply to Pete at C&L, happy in the knowledge that they will be in safe hands and continue to be available for the foreseeable future. And finally, I would like to express my particular thanks to Martin Wynne, for not only introducing us to the advantages of 00-sf in the first place, but also with help and advice regarding the design of the Gauges and subsequent expert advice over the last few years (since late 2006 I believe ...
282. EM gauge slip
... topic: 2577 EM gauge slip posted: 19 Nov 2014 08:08 from: Hayfield Never seems to be much put up on this part of Templot, thought I would just put up a few photos of a 1-8 single slip I am building, the plan was produced with the use of Martins new video 982_190310_310000000.jpg Both stock rails fitted and as you can see I use 5 pieces of very thin copperclad to solder the obtuse crossings to. These will be cut back to the rail sides towards the end of the build process and stuck in place 982_190311_460000000.jpg I make the slide rails in one piece and notch the rail joins, then add etched fishplates. This is because I want maximum flexibility of the blades for ease of movement. I only put one solder joint in the centre for the same reason On double slips the tiebar movement is very stiff on this method. I have made these rails in 3 pieces soldering cast metal fishplates to the centre rail only, this makes for a very free movement. 982_190320_270000000.jpg Two of the crossing rails ...
... adjacent track is fine as far as I can see right now. posted: 25 Jan 2016 22:06 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Am I doing something wrong or is there a reason why you cannot set MS, TS and trackbed width all in one go before going back to the 'trackbed edges' drop down menu. Hi Gordon, This applies to dozens of places in Templot. It's a damn nuisance. Unfortunately it is hours of programming work to create full property-sheet dialogs, compared with a few minutes to create menu items. One day I will get Templot finished... Also when originally coding Templot for Windows95, the bog-standard self-cancelling menus consumed far less system resources than full dialogs. Even so, Templot hogged practically the whole of Windows95 when running. That's no longer a problem in current Windows versions, but Templot is very old code in places. p.s. don't muddle up the trackbed edges with dummy templates on the adjacent track centre-line. You will get in a complete muddle ...

Could I suggest the use of some HTTP caching headers on the version warning web page to prevent anyone else getting into this situation? Thanks.

285. Banner printing
... need to set a page size smaller than the printable area. I suggested allowing 20mm for the trim margins in my previous reply. Generally, if you will be trimming and fitting multiple pages to the red margin lines, it is better to tick the box and set a convenient size between the trim margins, usually matched to the grid lines. If you are printing a large single page, the red trim margins won't be used, so you can untick the box and set almost the full printable area. Always allow a few mm inside though -- if you set the absolute maximum printable size the printer may object (because of rounding effects). N.B. Check the printable area for the printer, it's not usually the full paper size. I doubt that an A0 printer can print 841mm width. That's the full width of A0 paper. But roll paper is usually 36 inches wide (914mm), so A0 sizes are easily accommodated. You need to get the available printable width from the print shop. regards, Martin. posted: ...
286. Track construction
... it's not cheap and it's irritating (!) when 3/4 of the bottle goes off before you use it I would have one reservation about all glued construction, and that's to do with rail expansion- make sure the sleepers/timbers can move as you're fixing them rigidly to rail which will move whether you want it to or not. I believe Tasmania can get mildly warm Cheers posted: 5 Jul 2013 18:43 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Any chance of a protoype photo or two? I've got a few things for flatbottom in the pipeline but not I suspect, what you are looking for. They'd be in polyurethane resin when I do them, so it'd be a superglue job to fix them. posted: 6 Jul 2013 01:04 from: SimonH Happy to send a photo.

... topic: 1572 3D printing posted: 23 Jul 2011 01:51 from: Martin Wynne 3D printing has made great strides in the last few years.

Last edited on 2 Nov 2011 00:38 by Martin Wynne posted: 23 Jul 2011 19:50 from: Rob Manchester Martin, Brilliant. That is Peco and Exactoscale out of business! We just use Templot to make the required design and print it straight onto the baseboards. Not sure if the trains would run on the 'resin' rails? Come to think of it that could also be the end of loco kits and everything else we ever used on our models. Just stick a scanner in the car, scan what you like down the Severn Valley and print it out to whatever scale when you get home....

However, I hit a problem when playing around with these functions. I created a single sided left hand tandem based on a C9 REA initial configuration, then started to adjust the timbering. I shortened some of the through timbers, then made the branch track template the control. ...
... one, as many a line can be traced, but your program Templot is another that had crossed my mind. The feature wouldn't be attempting to be a 'how-to' guide as your program is probably a steep learning curve, but I would be interested in getting some screen shots of perhaps more advanced trackplans and who better to ask than its creator? Would you be able to provide me with enough material and advantages of your program to enable me to fill a page please? 5-6 screenshots and perhaps a few nice trackplans would be nice to see too. I guess it's all good exposure for you, but I often see people on RMweb mentioning they use it." I'm not looking for exposure! And I'm not convinced BRM readers need to see track plans or Templot screenshots, because anyone remotely interested can find plenty of those in the image gallery on here, and on other online forums. What they might like to see would be pictures of track under construction on Templot templates, from basic turnouts, through more complex formations ...
... it. I'm not ready to start anything in earnest yet, as at the moment, I still have the odd moment where I hit a wrong key combination, and everything gets away from me very rapidly. It doesn't help that I'm running in parallels on a Mac, and I'm having to set up key mappings between the host and the VM, as the Mac catches a lot of the Function keys. Still, overall, I definitely feel like I'm winning, and I think I'm ready to have a look at a few of the more complex concepts and tutorials now. The names Phil, by the way Or Dharma.

... track laying... 1137_150032_560000000.jpg Last edited on 15 May 2017 05:59 by Rick posted: 15 May 2017 12:24 from: Nigel Brown Hi Rick Thanks for the reply. I'll ditch the foamboard idea! I used cork on top of ply on my one-time American HO layout and found it quite loud, although I was using PVA and it's possible a more flexible glue would have been quieter. Currently I'm using MDF on a framework of 6mm 4" deep ply sides and 12mm ends, with a few 6mm cross-pieces, just tacked and glued around the edges, with the track laid directly on the MDF, using matte medium to fix track and ballast. It's possible that the framework I'm using means the MDF acts like a drum. I've had a look at Woodland scenics track underlay but reckon it's not firm enough for handlaid track.

... didn't seem to gain the space I expected. The old arrangement is below, I figured id I swapped the crossovers I might gain space.. but I didn't.. (we are talking about the blue section NOT the pink) post-11540-0 -47354900-1313016155_thumb.jpg I know why now, the facing crossover has shunted across one points worth so while platform 1 (the top) has gained, the bottom sidings haven't changed at all... But I'm sure we can adjust the pointwork to gain a few inches which I'd like to do for a couple of reasons. 1) Currently the two carriage/parcels sidings can't quite store 4 coaches but another couple of inches they can. 2) I have the space :P The platform capacities are as follows :- Platform 1- 5 coaches( 6 short bogey stock) can run around without any back-up moves and using the nearest/logical crossover. Can probably squeeze 7 in for an outbound train. Platform 2- 5 coaches outbound, 4 incoming Platform 3 ...

If my initial order subsequently turns up he promised to return it to me.(A bit worrying as my credit card details are with the order- will have to keep a close watch on my card transactions!) He is currently preparing for his next exhibition so is pretty busy but he did say that he had very few orders outstanding.

... topic: 3026 Small BR(S) terminus layout posted: 15 May 2017 21:30 from: d827kelly Attached is the box file for the P4 plan I'm currently working on. It is based upon Shepperton for the track plan. Only one (lower) platform will be used, and the bay is for parcels/goods only so would be fenced off. It is to be set in 1959-62. I *think* I've gotten the double slip right after quite a few tries, but not 100% sure. I haven't been able to get PR472 (the right most curving line) to line up with DL464 (the slip). The bottom most right hand and left hand sidings may change/go, the left hand one might be built as a partially removed siding.
