... topic: 584 Undo Make TS/MS properly posted: 9 Oct 2008 01:46 from: Richard Spratt When you undo either Make double track TS or MS because you guessed the wrong way, it appears to create a second template under the original. If you start with one template, make MS, then undo and make TS you end up with 3 templates, not 2. posted: 9 Oct 2008 02:07 from: Martin Wynne Richard Spratt wrote: When you undo either Make double track TS or MS because you guessed the wrong way, it appears to create a second template under the original.

... you don't have Templot and prefer to watch it online, or on a mobile device, it is also on this link (in poorer image quality): http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=BDXvSdUuD-vmjFK4us4vxA2 For this video I have tried adding a voice commentary instead of pausing to read text notes. Feedback welcome on which format you prefer. The video includes some notes on notch-linking for groups, which has more general application than this subject only. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Sep 2016 07:42 from: brian.b Hi Martin, Much better to hear your instruction rather than read them.

... Nov 2008 00:12 from: smokestak3174 I've just started designing 3' track in 7mm and have been experimenting. I've found 84" (7') sleepers look more like the pictures I've seen of the prototype. But then I've also seen some very short sleepers which could be about 6'. I'm going to build some short sections to see which looks best and I'll post some photos. I plan to use fine pins to fix code 100 fb to balsa sleepers as a trial.

Thin ply is available in lengths that can be cut to size, also both copper and brass rivets could be used to solder your rail to.

... to search for this but no luck so far. Is there a way of producing a list of all (or some) of the templates in my box file which includes the specifications of things like turnouts? I can find a way to list all the templates but that just shows the number, name and type. For things like turnouts the specs (type, radius, angle etc) would be useful to create a shopping list for track parts, kits etc. Many thanks David posted: 11 Jul 2016 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi David, On the storage box window, if you click the box> show cumulative box data menu item, you can see the total length of the templates and the total length of timbering. "Timbering" means the total length of pointwork timbers and plain track sleepers combined. For all the template info, click the box> print all template info PDF> menu items. You can choose whether to print a (long) list or create a PDF file. regards, Martin. posted ...
306. Printer Problem
... was set as the printer will not start. New printer? Regards Rodger posted: 22 Jun 2016 20:16 from: bainin Sounds like printer. Message was probably referring to failure to print current document, which probably happened to go by the name "templot pages". You can try resetting the printer -- google "epson px650 reset" for instructions. In ny experience, epson printers can die suddenly. It may be cheaper to replace the printer than to get it repaired! Mike posted: 23 Jun 2016 07:48 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, When you say it won't restart, do you mean that it won't switch on at all, or there are error lights? If the former then maybe the printer is dead, if the latter, perhaps it's the well-known Epson built in self-destruct feature, which can usually be defeated. At least some of their printers have a built-in counter of some sort which triggers the machine into believing that it needs the used ink reservoir replacing/cleaning. By ...

I have been following the tutorial for producing symmetrical Y-Turnouts along with the addition comments in this thread and for some reason I can't quite get the end result to match those here and in the tutorial in that my turnout at the Y end is not level, it has two additional sleepers, E1& E2.

Rob posted: 18 Apr 2018 00:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, There are two types of "superglue". The cyano types cure in the presence of humidity in the air. As you found, once opened they have a very short shelf life. They are usually transparent, or the rubber-toughened types are black. The anaerobic types cure in the absence of air and the presence of metal ions. They are typically used for engineering thread-locking, fitting shaft bearings, etc. They are usually red, blue or green, e.g ...
... on these locos range from 28.7 to 29.1mm which would be an issue on O-SF track but should be fine on O-MF. Hi Rob, Yes, that's why I was a bit surprised to see the Guild suggesting that 0-SF is ok for current wheels. Generally most folks have gone for 0-MF for the very reason you say. 0-SF generally requires sticking to Slaters wheels or similar, and modifying some of the recent RTR models. cheers, Martin. posted: 2 Jun 2018 07:51 from: Jim Guthrie Martin Wynne wrote: 0-SF generally requires sticking to Slaters wheels or similar, and modifying some of the recent RTR models.

... posted: 17 May 2020 23:52 from: Rob Manchester Hi John, Teak was( and still is) used by boat builders in 1:1 and smaller scales. It is very resistant to most things including water and sunlight. In the sizes useful for you I would have thought model boat shops would be the best bet. Good levels of protection should be used with teak as the fine dust can be quite harmful if inhaled. Rob (Not quite locked down in the UK) posted: 18 May 2020 07:33 from: Phil O As an alternative to teak, you could use Jarrah, which is being used for sleepers and timbering, it was used at York north end when it was remodelled back in the 80's, the south end used concrete bearers. posted: 18 May 2020 09:45 from: Martin Wynne How weatherproof is fibreglass copper-clad?

... 06:50 from: Igor Kurgan Martin, Thank you very much for the link. To speak frankly, that is the place where i got mine ideas from, incl Templot. Basically i am copying that, but i have to work my way around welding( i am a disaster) and the cnc/milling part, i dont have those tools. Even if i would had those tools i must learn a lot about the parts of turnouts and ect.

... Crossover. Before the latest upgrade it was working fine. Thinking back to earlier in the year, I figured out to have 2 windows open next to each other then I could click and drag Templot across to Crossover and it worked. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow if I can remember how to do it. I still have a couple of Windows 7 machines but they take so long to load with ten million updates every time they are almost unusable. Maybe I'll try uninstalling Big Sur on here. posted: 7 Dec 2020 07:41 from: Dave Summers The downside of Bootcamp and virtual machines is that you need a paid-for Windows licence. Crossover does not.

... 5 Sep 2007 00:17 from: Dave Phillips Hi Martin, I sometimes work with only centerlines and marks showing, without rails and ties/sleepers. I can set up the background templates OK, but can't turnoff display of the rails from the control template. Can you consider making the display options for the control template identical to the options available for background templates?

Only the SR experimented with longer V-crossings, for use on their fast main lines. Clearly the map doesn't match the photo. It may be from a much earlier survey. ...
