... topic: 2532 EXPO EM North- Scaleforum 2014 posted: 12 Sep 2014 10:39 from: Martin Wynne I'm hoping to be at Expo EM North tomorrow afternoon (Saturday 13th). I can have a tablet computer running Templot with me if anyone would like 10 minutes help with the program. (And assuming we can find a table and chairs somewhere -- I have not visited this venue before.) http://www.emgs.org/2 -expoem-events/14-expoem-north-2014.html Please bear in mind that I would also like to see the show. So please no requests to fit Crewe into 4ft x 2ft while-u -wait, or convert a back of an envelope sketch into a finished layout plan on the hoof. This would be just a few minutes help with using the Templot program. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Sep 2014 12:38 from: Martin Wynne A very enjoyable visit to ExpoEM North yesterday. There were many fine layouts on show -- including several which had been ...

I watched your video but it ends with "adjustments may be necessary" and I don't want to play around with the 3-way in case I wreck it. A further video would be very helpful to explain how to do the adjustments. I think the V crossing needs adjusting and the first stretcher bar seems to be missing although there is a thin line. If you could explain what needs ...

Apparently it's on a Nintendo game called Cooking Mama. Well, about 10 minutes after going to bed last night I jumped up and said 'I've got it' and was told by the wife to write it down and do it in the morning. Anyway here's my version of the solution, inspired by John suggesting I use a tangent. It's not so elegant, but if you get it right you can have a symmetrical curve, but that is not important in my case. Sorry it's only a box file but it shows the sequence from top to bottom.

... 2018 13:28 from: Jim Guthrie Martin, I've started getting occasional Access Violation messages on the current version. The message is "Access Violation Address 00452734 in modle 'templot_2.exe' Read of address 00000004" It seems to happen when saving templates or quitting. When saving templates the error comes up but the file is saved. It also comes up when trying to exit Templot and the application won't quit and I have to use Task Manager to end it. It doesn't happen all the time- only on occasion. Running Win 10 64 bit with all the latest updates. It's not a major problem since I don't seem to lose anything and having to quit occasionally via Task manager is the only slight hassle.

... plus of course, those I implicitly assume but which you need to second guess:-) but there is opportunity to develop these over time. To be honest, like you, I can't see myself using the prefs facility either- what I am suggesting however, would mean that I would be using it every time I loaded a project!! And, different projects would automatically have "the right" prefs appropriate to their need. Hope that is clearer! Many thanks for listening, Howard posted: 15 May 2011 10:04 from: Martin Wynne Hi Howard, Thanks for explaining this in detail. It's a tall order. It needs a lot of thinking about and a lot of work to implement. The problem is that you can't restore the previous closing position simply by reloading existing files. There is a lot of stuff in the program which at present is always lost on closing, and would all have to be saved in some way. For example, individual templates may have been generated or rebuilt using different generator settings from those ...
... topic: 1614 Shapes? Where did they go? posted: 1 Sep 2011 10:23 from: radiopaque Hi, I sweated a an hour or so getting the contours of the table just right, but the next time I opened Templot, all that work was gone :-( I'm sure I did something wrong, or forgot something. How would I make these background shapes (CTRL-S) permanent? Another question is: Is there a way to introduce a curved lines (for the inside of my U-shaped table)? I could not find one, but I am curious if there is another solution except just drawing a couple of straight lines, to approximate the curve.

... topic: 3508 S1J joint rail chairs posted: 24 Sep 2019 19:13 from: Hayfield Please can anyone tell me how common was the use of these chairs (S1J joint rail chairs) on the railways please posted: 24 Sep 2019 19:18 from: Rob Manchester John, My understanding is that S1J chairs were used on 12" joint timbers at the ends of each track panel. The S1J is 10" wide rather than the 8" of the standard S1. Rob posted: 24 Sep 2019 20:25 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, The use of the heavier joint chairs on wider 12" sleepers adjacent to the rail joints at each end of a track panel was common practice in the pre-group period (pre 1921). They were often used in conjunction with shorter 9" 2-hole fishplates so that the joint sleepers could be very close together, typically at 15" centres with only a 3" gap between them. The theory being that strength in the rail support was more important than strength ...

The reason that does not work is that you are relying on the difference in lead lengths resulting from changing from semi-curved to straight-cut switches and this is much smaller with the 1:7 crossing angle. Assuming a straight main road and make sure the peg is on either Ctrl 0 or 1 position. A better way to stagger the switch blades is to take your first template and (Ctrl O) remove the main road crossing rail, main road check rail and ...
312. Minimum Chainages
... 26 Sep 2008 03:47 from: phileakins Ummm... No-one got a view? Phil posted: 26 Sep 2008 04:35 from: Martin Wynne phileakins wrote: Ummm... No-one got a view? Hi Phil, I don't think any such fixed limits exist. Everything depends on what rolling stock you expect to run on it, and at what speed. Sharp curves have gauge-widening, continuous check rails and severe speed restrictions. Continuous check rails are required on curves below 10 chains radius. Gauge widening is 1/4" on curves between 10 and 7 chains radius, 1/2" on curves between 7 and 5.1/2 chains radius, and the maximum 3/4" on curves below 5.1/2 chains. These features are quite often found within station limits, but it would be very unusual to have such sharp curves on running lines in open country. An A4 turnout has a radius of 130ft, which is less than 2 chains. That would be regarded as acceptable ...
... very complicated junction across six tracks and to its right to a pair of platforms which are in turn connected to two other pairs, the tracks of which are tied together through five double slips. If I changed the centres here, everything else would be thrown off. I have to find a way to timber this crossing as is. Regards Alan posted: 2 Aug 2011 21:48 from: Jim Guthrie Alan, The other option might be to change the angle of your crossings. I note you are using 1:10 RAM. When I reduce that to 1:9.75 the crossing nose seems to move enough to allow easier timber placement- that's if you're not wedded to 1:10. Jim. posted: 2 Aug 2011 22:25 from: Martin Wynne Hi Alan, Often the prototype solves this problem by staggering the two crossovers: 2_021717_000000000.png By changing the amount of stagger, it is usually possible to find a timbering layout which picks up all the crossings. It may take quite a bit of trial and error. And/ ...

I have bought a programme called Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum and thought it would be a simple task to extract the DVD information and export it in the relevant format (MPEG4 seems to be what iTunes uses). However I can't do this as there are multiple files on the DVDs which don't seem keen to be extracted and aren't in a recognisable file format. Is what I want to do possible or not?

... topic: 3260 Total timbering lengths on trackplan posted: 19 Apr 2018 22:18 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, The Storage box facility to add up the total length of timbering on all or some background templates is very useful. You can group some templates( say the ones containing only plain track) to sum the sleeper lengths but templates that have S&C work inserted are mixed between two widths- such as 3.3mm/10" and 4mm/12" on an EM or P4 plan. Would it be possible in a future update( ie not now or this week/month but when you have the inclination) to show the total lengths of plain track and turnout timbering as two figures rather than rolling them into one. This would help me( and others?) in checking that sufficient materials are to hand before building comences. I realise that some scale/gauge layouts may have odd timber widths or combinations but I suspect the vast majority of plans drawn using Templot have either one width throughout or a standard plain track ...
... topic: 193 Selecting templates from the background posted: 10 Oct 2007 17:54 from: Alan McMillan Hi Martin I apologise if this is covered already but here goes. I have created a single slip in S7 where one of the slip roads is straight, ie it has been created from two opposite handed straight turnouts facing in opposite directions. Thre are about six partial templates involved in this formation and here is my problem. I cannot pick up some of the partials to move their name labels as they seem to be "buried" underneath other ones. Trying simply brings up the ones that appear to be on top. Is there a way of cycling through the template list and selecting the one whose label you want to move?
