I think the only way would be to install a different language instead of English, with just that one word changed (and maybe a few others). But that's for another day (and I might be the only one who finds it so irritating).

As you say, with Templot it's hardly a deluge! I don't know about others, but I find it far easier to simply ...

... a@y Just to fine-tune my answer, these are the P4 versions, there are others with a wider setting for thicker flanges etc. As to the other questions, I've noted that in some cases (my WHL station of Glenfinnan) the check-rail and wing rail of a nearby turnout "merged", so that could be your answer.a@y Last edited on 24 Nov 2014 21:49 by alan@york posted: 24 Nov 2014 21:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Derek, A few points about check rails on curves. 1. if you follow the prototype rules strictly you find that most model curves require check rails -- which would look a bit daft. 2. most curves sharp enough to need a check rail also have some gauge-widening. In which case you can't use the standard check rail chair because where there is gauge-widening the check-rail gap increases by the same amount as the widening. A check rail is always gauged from the opposite running rail. However, C ...

... garden which is more like a rock quarry than a garden. Mine would have to be rather sturdy. It will have to survive deer and the occasional moose stepping on it. Cheers! Andy posted: 22 Aug 2020 08:17 from: Godfrey Earnshaw To everyone, I am not criticising your efforts merely the way you have gone about doing it. As for a garden railway, I have one, it is a 4 track mainline, with a 2 track branch, the trains are almost all electric, with a few diesel freights. Not for me DCC. To be authentic it is powered at 750Vdc and the scale is 1:1. Yes, I live near the Brighton Main Line, in Three Bridges. You see there is no need to build one in my own back garden, someone has built it for me. Goedemorgen Igor, Eerst een woordje uitleg; dit alles is lichtjes geschreven. Ik woon in Engeland maar ik heb bijna 11 jaar in Nederland en België gewerkt. Ik heb ook 2 jaar in het vlakke land ...

... by putting run round loop into the help key. Sorry I do not know how to post the link. Alan posted: 20 Oct 2011 20:25 from: Martin Wynne Hi Alan, I think you mean this one: That is a basic run-round loop created with just 2 turnout templates having parallel type V-crossings. That's a simple and quick way to create a loop, but unfortunately you can't insert turnouts in a loop created that way. To do that you need to build the loop with a few more templates. You can either shorten each of those and insert some double-track between them. The turnouts can then be inserted in the double track. Or you can build the loop entirely with separate templates, which allows you also to insert turnouts in the return curves, and/or terminate the loop with crossovers. I will post another bit of video shortly showing how. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Oct 2011 20:32 from: Dr G Alan Gee Thanks for your help Martin. I look ...

(Comma for decimal fractions instead of dot.) There is a bug in Templot related to this, but I'm not sure it explains what you are seeing in DoubleCad. 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. The reason it imports into Templot is that Templot ignores all the header stuff on import. 3am here and I'm too tired to write proper English, sorry.

... topic: 2562 No longer entirely baffled! posted: 27 Oct 2014 20:27 from: dharma66 Hi, Just wanted to say what an amazing piece of software! If I'd posted here a few days ago, it would have been a different opening line, though But a little bit of persistence, and hunting through menu's to find what's altered since the tutorial was written, and I'm finally getting to grips, at least with the basics. I'm a professional programmer, and I've found it quite fascinating to realise how deeply ingrained my expectations are for the way software 'should' work, and because of this, I made the first few days much harder on myself than they needed to be. It took me a quite ridiculous amount of time to get my head round the 'store and background' concept. Now, however, after having used it a bit, I have to say it's actually a very elegant solution for this particular way of working. As a professional, I'm always amazed when I see a piece of software like this that ...

... topic: 1695 Extra Multiple B4 Timbers showing. posted: 24 Nov 2011 17:28 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Sorry to be a pain in the proverbial, but thought I should report this. First let me say, I have noticed this event several times over the last few days, it seems since the last TDV 4505 update. In these instances I just simply kept omitting the timber until all copies of it had gone. In this last instance, just a few minutes ago, I had aligned a turnout template and then did a make branch track, and when the track appeared it had these extra B4 timbers at the peg end (previous events always had the extra B4 timbers at the peg end). (see image file below, this can be seen at full size on the image gallery). Now I say extra timbers because, there are 3 or 4 of these B4 timbers sitting on top of each other, all exhibiting the same timber number, and it takes three or four timber omit ions to ...

... . It has taken me years and years and years...to build or have built the models that I need as you see when I started there were no manufacturers that I could go to and just buy what I wanted or had to have to get over the line. I started in S scale first but all my railway stuff was destroyed in 1983 when the Ash Wednesday bush fire decided to clean up Macedon and the surrounding area, my place included. Just after that some enterprising fellow decided to have quite a few On2.5 Na locos constructed, so, even without having enough spare cash I order one. Realising that it may well prove impossible to get another later on I change my order to two. Needless to say I didn't tell the other half. If the truth be known I didn't want to tell myself as seriously I didn't have the money at the time. Very scary doing stuff like that. But in hind sight I am so glad I did it. I might add that at the time it was a long long ...
