... carefully built track. regards, Les G Last edited on 25 Jun 2012 16:53 by Les G posted: 16 Oct 2012 00:58 from: Ian Allen Update on this thread. We are going to use 3mm EPDM rubber sheet which can be purchased with one side having a self adhesive backing. The adhesive side will bond to the baseboards and I'll probably use aerosol carpet adhesive to stick the track down, with diluted latex adhesive used for ballasting. Two lengths of track on EPDM rubber and neoprene rubber were left outside for just over a week during the summer to assess durability to the elements, and neither the adhesive backed EPDM rubber or Neoprene rubber lifted and the carpet adhesive holding the track down didn't fail either.EPDM rubber has excellent resistance to fresh and sea water, oxidation, ultra violet, ozone, aging and weathering.

... topic: 1672 Solenoid Motors for Semaphore Signals posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:34 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Just to let you know that I have a new solenoid motor for controlling semaphore signals. The solenoid is fitted inside a plastic tube (currently 10mm outside diameter but this may be reduced in the near future) which can be fixed directly to the baseplate of your signal. Operation is silent and smooth. Can be operated by cdu etc. I'm intending to do a Youtube video of it, perhaps later today, if I can but for now there are pictures and more info on my website. Oh yes Price- £3.00 plus P&P Stephen posted: 2 Nov 2011 08:36 from: Stephen Freeman I have now added a new Youtube video to the website Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

283. Check rails etc.
... topic: 1676 Check rails etc. posted: 4 Nov 2011 13:06 from: Raymond Now that I have mastered (not that it is complicated) this useful addition I have to say that it simplifies and speeds up the process a great deal with the added bonus that far fewer partial templates are required for complex formations. It was particularly useful in producing the 1:4 outside slip. Thank you and well done Martin.

285. Straights and bends
... stage? Yes, provided you take some care: For tandem 3-way turnouts the switches must be staggered far enough to allow full opening of the second switch blades behind the first turnout rail. Insufficient stagger is a common beginner mistake. Also the resulting V-crossings should not be exactly opposite each other, otherwise the check rails cannot be fitted to work properly. For inside slips the shortest practical diamond-crossing is 1:6, otherwise the radius will be too tight. For shorter diamonds you can add an outside slip road, but this requires a lot more space. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Jan 2012 23:18 from: Martin Wynne Martin Wynne wrote: Your problem with uploads is that you are saving the screenshots in JPG format. p.s. there is also a small bug if you get too click-happy.

286. Sketchpad boundary
... topic: 1773 Sketchpad boundary posted: 8 Jan 2012 15:28 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin I am not sure if I have missed a command, but when I open Sketchpad, the boundary more or less follows the area in which I have laid track. If I want to have buildings or scenery beyond that border (e.g. a station building which extends well beyond the trackwork), I cannot add these. I have got round this by putting a piece of unwanted track outside the needed area and, provided this is not the active template, that forces the boundary of Sketchpad to extend. Is there a command to extend the Sketchpad boundary, or could this be added?

Rob posted: 14 Jan 2012 23:00 from: Martin Wynne grahambeare wrote: Where are beginners meant to start in regard to understanding how to use Templot? Hi Graham, It rather depends on what you want to use Templot for. Some beginners just want to print out some typical templates to practice model track building. Some beginners want to create a complete track plan of Crewe. Some beginners want to create a complex formation comprising 3 tandem turnouts, 2 outside slips and a scissors crossover, all laid out on a transition curve in metre gauge. Some beginners want to create an exact scale drawing of a Great Northern Railway (Ireland) 1:7.5 double slip for 5ft-3in gauge, 1938 pattern. However, most beginners start by reading through the Templot Companion pages at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/templot_gs.htm and by working through the "Track Plan" tutorial at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/tut5a.htm I'm aware that a lot of the ...
289. Sleepers and timbers
... timbers around the Crossing and Switch areas of turnous are fixed by the special chairs/ Base plates required for that particular unit and are with few exceptions set at 2'6". These standard spacings are all preprogrammed into templot and should not altered. It is permissable to adjust the angle of the timber and the length, but not the spacing where the special chairs are positioned. See the Templot companion under prototype track> MISC you will find a list of Crossing angles and how many special chairs are required for for each angle. Outside of these and the switch chairs it is possible to make quite significant adjustments. For a double junction certainly in BR days it was often although not invariably the case that long timbers would be used to span both roads whether they be at 90 degrees to the main road or equalized, indeed, it will often be found easier to timber a double junction with equalized timbering as the timbering of the diamond will always be of this type. It should also be bourne in mind that the nose of the crossing of the inner ...
... Martin did not read last part of reply about timbers. Alan posted: 15 Feb 2012 17:26 from: alangdance Hi Martin I have updated the slips again. Is this any better. Have I made any serious issues. I have reduced the K crossing length to 30 using the mouse option and the end gap to 1.6mm. Is this is to narrow or will RTR stock be OK with this measurement. I am not too happy with the timbering is there anything I should do. Now for a 3 way and outside slip. Regards Alan Attachment: attach_1353_1830_Single_& _Double_Slip_Test.box 243 posted: 16 Feb 2012 20:55 from: Tony W Hi Alan. I presume you are refering to the timbering under the K crossings. For non-scale trackwork this needs to be changed using "Real> Timbering> Half-diamond timbering> Timbering as model" menu option rather than timbering as prototype. This option is perhaps not as well know as it should be and is one that I only discovered myself relatively recently, it saves much ...
291. 5-way turnout.
... . My personal guess is that was used templot from what can be seen on the http://www.clag.org.uk/track-construction1.html 1871_212013_540000000.jpg In a e-mail that Tony Wilkins send to me he told that "the drawing was made by superimposing a P4 left and right hand Tandem Turnout Template onto each other and drawing in all the additional crossings by hand. The only prototype I have ever come across was built in Germany and it was not designed in quite the same way as the two outermost roads came off the two outside roads of the first Three throw point and not from the centre road as I have done it." 1871_212218_410000000.jpg Someone have made it? Any tips to draw on templot, as well as construction? Any knowlege of this german, or the french one 5 way turnout? At first will be one in flatbottom and other in bullhead. And about the chairs?

... road (shown above in red) comprises a pair of switches, one of each hand, and the two rails linking them. A diamond-crossing with a slip road on one side is called a single-slip. A diamond-crossing with a slip road on both sides is called a double-slip. There are 3 possible routes through a single-slip, and 4 possible routes through a double-slip. But only one route can be used at any given time. If the side roads are completely outside the diamond-crossing, so that both side roads can be used at the same time, it is not called a slip. That arrangement is called a half-scissors for one side road, and a full-scissors or scissors crossover for two side roads. regards, Martin. posted: 13 Apr 2012 16:19 from: Nigel Brown Hi Howard 2) and 3) wouldn't be available at the same time.

... at least a basic attempt to learn and understand the prototypes technical jargon.After all one needs to learn the alphabet in order to read or write a book.I don't think one should expect to be able to use Templot without making some effort to learn about the real thing.Research and information is needed in order to understand and enjoy this railway modeling hobby we all derive so much satisfaction from. Hi Trevor, So I think that I have a pretty good knowledge of the prototype, and its terminology. I can tell a switched diamond from an outside slip. I don't think that there is any prototype term in the Templot menus that I don't understand. I know what I want to get out of Templot.

In the next update shortly. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Jul 2012 11:49 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Nothing is ever simple of course. If you are using canted bullhead rail in functional chairs, you can use the FB setting to show the outer edge of the rail foot on the templates (i.e. slightly outside the head because of the cant in the rail). This may be helpful in aligning the rail over the templates. For bullhead rail the foot width needs to be set to match the head width at real> rails> rail section data... menu item, and the inclined rails option selected.

I will look at adding some additional buttons on the spacing-ring dialog to make these settings automatically, but the dialog is very cramped for space. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Mar 2013 21:37 from: Ian T Martin, Thanks for the prompt response. I think I can see where I went wrong. I'll have to do a run through on a scratch plan to see if I can correct my way of operating, I may have been running before I could walk. What I did was perhaps outside the normal scope Templot. I attempted to reset my track spacing on an existing plan by grouping everything and then fiddling with the gauge settings. I thought I had changed my track spacings but I also suspect I have just added to my confusion as the spacing ring may not have been at the dia I needed. I then probably compounded my mistake by not setting the control template correctly so that my subsequent test pieces were wrong as well. Oh well, we live and learn. So my way ahead is: Try ...

... an O2 signal. I've never had a problem with hibernation over long periods of time, but some drivers don't work after hibernation. My main concern really is that for whatever reason the server that Templot checks goes offline. Suddenly I can't access my work except with the paid-for version, which doesn't support many of the features in Templot 2. We were warned not to use TDV for "real" work initially, but then TDV became Templot 2 so it is now used for real work but could fail for reasons outside anyone's control, including Martin's.

... , Thanks for that. You have found a bug which has remained undetected for 10 years, since version 078. There are of course several other ways to add a template to a group, but if you want to use the selection fence there are 2 possible workarounds: 1. put the track centre-lines back on for these check rail templates, or 2. group> group select> fence options> templates wholly contained menu option. Note that in this case you must then be sure to drag the fence entirely outside the templates you wish to group. It's an easy fix, in fact I have already done it. Will be in the next update.
