... topic: 2719 Converting a track plan from one gauge/scale to another. posted: 3 Jul 2015 07:24 from: Martin Wynne I have just posted this on RMweb so I may as well copy it here. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/100539-cranby-junction-in-n -finescale-planning/ Go to gauge> other gauges.... Select the required new gauge/scale on the list. Click the convert group button. If you haven't created a group of templates, you will have the option to group all of them for the conversion. Unfortunately it is not mathematically possible to do a perfect conversion unless the gauge:scale ratio and the gauge:flangeway-gap ratio remain the same. In practice this means only the proto gauges convert closely: S7- S- P4- Proto87- S2 etc., and even then there may be some tiny differences. For other gauge conversions there are likely to be some slight mismatches, overlaps or gaps between ...
... topic: 2713 EM Track Gauges wanted posted: 25 Jun 2015 17:07 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Does anybody have a set of EM track gauges they would like to part with( for money)? Ideally it would be a pair of roller gauges and two 3-point one's I would want. I would also be interested in a block gauge. To be used with standard C&L bullhead rail.

... of the templates in an object-oriented paradigm, where they are things operated on. Maybe that's my problem? But then what's the correct way of thinking? If they aren't objects, they certainly aren't functions. So please enlighten me, I'm in need of a good head twist, because my head is clearly not screwed on correctly to understand all this. This isn't a 'being from across the pond' problem, is it?

Godders posted: 15 May 2015 13:26 from: Martin Wynne Hi Godders, You can set up the offset in a transition curve by adjusting the centres and radii of the 1st and 2nd curves, and then using the make transition function to create the transition curve between them.

... topic: 2685 O Gauge track using copperclad sleepers with spacers? posted: 9 May 2015 22:41 from: Templotter Looking for a skills upgrade path from EM copperclad to O gauge (probably 31.5mm gauge) but would like to match the sleeper/rail heights of flexible track without the cost/complication of chairs. Wondering if metal spacers could be soldered to rail and sleeper to produce a sturdy enough turnout to use outdoors for instance. Debs- are you the person to ask about gauges? posted: 10 May 2015 07:48 from: Hayfield If its to match C&L the spacers should be 1 mm thick in 7 mm scale,you could use either metal strip or copperclad strip, both cut into small spacers In 4 mm scale Peco flexi track is not much dearer per meter than 2 lengths of rail. Given Peco track in 7 mm is better than H0/00 track is it worth the effort. With rail at 2.70 per meter £2.20 when bought at 100 lengths at a time) and a yard at £ ...

... 'frog' device can work, but the drawing does not really resemble the photograph. Well, it seems that the 'frog' in the photograph can only be operated by wheel-flanges that are being diverted from the main (straight) track. How does a wheel-set that is leaving the siding, operate the spring-crossing( 'frog')? There appears to be nothing for the wheel-flange to push against. Grateful advice, as we used to say. posted: 9 Dec 2016 13:07 from: JFS In what way does the drawing differ from the photo? Perhaps you have not grasped that it is not crossing nose which moves but the wing rail? Hence a wheel, which ever direction it is travelling, would simply push the wing rail aside. The crossing stays put and (as the text says) te flange is guided by the check rail. (The small green reptile you mentioned need not be involved.) These things were so common that I am surprised they have raised such interest. ...

... and precise templot. Regards, Adam posted: 26 Feb 2018 18:50 from: Martin Wynne Hi Adam, Welcome to Templot Club. Details of how to import a DXF file from XTrackCAD into Templot as a background guide are at: topic 3049 Which is probably the best way for an XTrackCAD user to get a custom turnout design. It could then be exported from Templot as a DXF file and imported back into XTrackCAD, or inserted as a bitmap image. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Feb 2018 15:07 from: Adam Richards Martin,Well, your proposal would involve at least one enhancement to XTrackCAD over its current state which is that we don't have an image capability for an object yet- all our objects are drawn vectors today. It is something that I have been working towards adding once we have migrated to a recent level of GTK (as a cross-platform program we have to make sure portability is maintained as job #1). That said, it is probably the only way to have an accurate representation ...

I'm helping a mate by composing a Templot file for him which is positioned over a picture he's designed. You can see a screen shot of it attached. I've emailed him both the .box file and the .bgs file so he can review it. However when he drags and drops the .bgs shape file onto the Templot screen (on his PC) all he gets is a blank white square and in the Shapes dialogue box it shows as [empty picture]. Grateful for any ideas why he can't view the correct shape file.

... i.e. you can prepare and fit it, and make the set in the stock rail, exactly as for the "B" switch. The modification for use in tandems is to assume a virtual heel at the end of the planing. If you have specific prototype info for your tandem, you could of course use some other switch design, but then you wouldn't be using the auto make tandem function, which can only create a generic design based on no specific prototype. cheers, Martin. posted: 4 May 2019 07:41 from: Roger N Hi Martín, Thank you very much for taking the time to provide such a comprehensive response to my questions. I often wonder whilst looking at various on-line forum whether during the time that you were developing and improving Templot if you ever foresaw just how much of your own time would subsequently be spent supporting the inexperienced to the competent user. I think what you do and have done in support of this hobby of ours is way above the call of duty, but not only that ...
297. Ordinary Crossover
... topic: 3422 Ordinary Crossover posted: 29 Apr 2019 06:44 from: Andrew Barrowman "Make Ordinary Crossover" seems to be using TS spacing rather than MS spacing. When I swap the values for MS and TS the crossover aligns with double track. posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:46 from: Martin Wynne Andrew Barrowman wrote: "Make Ordinary Crossover" seems to be using TS spacing rather than MS spacing. Hi Andy, That's correct. The terms "Turnout Side" (TS) and "Main Side" (MS) refer to the template. By definition a crossover is on the turnout side of a turnout template: startup_pad.png The spacing settings are template-specific. The proper course of action is to set the desired spacing on the relevant side before using the tools> make functions. That's why the spacings dialog comes up when you use them. In practice it is most often the TS spacing which needs setting. The MS spacing applies only when making double-track for loops and sidings alongside running lines. Strictly ...

There you get options to draw various basic shapes and the one you would probably want is rectangle. When you have selected that you can then choose to enter the dimensions or draw it graphically with the mouse. For exact measurements, it is probably better using the measurement entry option where you are asked to enter the ...
