301. 1:9 diamonds

302. Autumnal gloom
... backs up- if I read one more photo caption that describes a train list as a "consist" I'm going to commit murder! (If its' on the back of an engine, it's a train, if its on paper its a train list.) Which brings me to the "cleverness". Even on computer groups, where the noisy contributors have ego's that require wharehouses to store them, newcommers will be helped along, if a little abruptly sometimes, so they can join in. Can you imagine a 10 or 12 year old's reaction to the cigars or pipes? I can- it would not be positive! Little Damien doesn't to know how many rivets are on a tender, but he might need to know that the Scroggins 9f won't go round 1st radius curves. As an experienced modeller I got a bit hot under the collar when I describe a method of ballasting track I've used for many, many years with great success was denounced as rubbish, and I was told how to do it "his way" like it ...
303. Blackwell Road
... topic: 987 Blackwell Road posted: 10 Dec 2009 01:48 from: ClikC I've been working on this for the past few days. Still needs a good tidy up and a session of timber nudging, along with adding the slip roads to the diamond for the yard (Which I've already completed on an older version of the plan). The layout itself is a small parcels depot and TMD based loosely in the location of Blackwell road in Carlisle and primarily serving the Cumbrian Coast Line circa 1974/5. Bottom most track is just a loop with holding sidings, the track above it exits to the hidden storage. The first point (C10) serves the TMD which features a two road shed, refueling road/ head-shunt and a siding (A7) for a couple of TTA wagons of diesel. I'd like to hear any comments and suggestions regarding tidying up the plan. And while I'm without doubt that the overall plan is highly unrealistic, I'd appreciate input as to anything I can do to increase realism overall. For instance ...

... topic: 3550 Small screen items on Mac posted: 11 Nov 2019 22:00 from: Robert Edmonson Hello, Years ago I worked with Templot on an ancient Lenovo laptop running Windows XP. That was my "work" computer, but I have been a Mac user since the Mac was introduced. I am getting back into model railroading, so I loaded Parallels Desktop15 and Windows 10 and downloaded Templot2. (I have a 2019 version iMac, and I upgraded a few days ago to OS Catalina v. 10.15.1.) The attached screenshot summarizes my problem. The program opens with no problem, the work surface appears OK, but the menu bar and floating windows are postage-stamps that I can barely read: 3627_111652_460000000.png I'm at a loss, even to know where to begin to find the problem. I don't know if this is a Mac problem, Windows problem, or a Templot problem. I briefly searched the Club discussions, but found nothing that looked useful. I'd like to solve the issue so I can start designing. ...

... and also ensures that once answered, at least the answers are there for others to see so hopefully this reduces the extent to which you get asked the same questions over again. I get most of my Templot questions answered just by searching Templot club. If this user is not prepared to post his question here, then that really is his problem. As already commented, we all want you to be able to spend time developing Templot and try and reduce the time you spend on support. Pete posted: 18 Mar 2009 10:24 from: Templot User -- --- from Mike Johnson -- --- My thoughts are that not having a standard Windows interface is a big problem for new users. You may not like Windows, but its a standard that most people know, and new users expect programs to work that way. Almost everything in Templot works in an alien way, so it takes 10 times as long to do anything. If I want to move the end of something, after pressing F4 I expect to ...

... FB-109, BS-110A and BS-113A sections, the dimension you want is 4.1/8" (4.125"), as shown below. Another handy trick is to print a duplicate template on tracing paper (use an ink-jet printer, one sheet at a time). You can then lay this on the rail tops during construction, to check and confirm the alignments. (If expense is no object, you can print on OHP transparency sheets.) regards, Martin. outer_fb_rail_foot.png posted: 10 Jun 2009 20:11 from: MikeTrice Thanks for this. I am guessing the vast majority of users are more interested in bullhead rail, which kind of keeps flatbottom support shunted down the priority list. I hadn't appreciated the issues relating to the rail being canted at 1 in 20 as I don't tend to try and recreate it in model form, so full marks for trying to get it right. Another option, which others might like to comment on, is the possibility of doing an interim release featuring the rail ...

(See attached part screen shot). 2_151216_490000000.jpg I have tried to alter this, without success. Any idea on how to fix it?

Find which one you find the most comfortable. p.s. The text which you show as OK is the menu font size, which is controlled by your Windows10 display settings. Templot has no control over that part of the user interface. cheers, Martin. posted: 16 Dec 2019 09:16 from: PJW Martin, Many thanks for solving this ...
313. Transition links
... topic: 3812 Transition links posted: 10 Nov 2020 08:06 from: Graham Long Hi I have grappling with transition links. I have sucessfully produced an easement. I how want to link a transition between to plain track templates. I.e. I want to produced a link between a 1400mm radius plain track and a 2500 plain track. I have tried to follow Martin's video but it is linking two turnout templates. Do I have to make both templates turnouts to link them and then make them plain track again after having done so? So far I have made one of the templates a turnout and split off the approach road, but I am not clear on how to make this a dummy template as described. Then you are required to make a branch line from the other template. However, I think I would have to make this a turnout template as well. Could anybody clarify this for me.

For instance, in the "Beginners queries" thread, I've only had the email reply about Templot being a 3D program, timed at 05:19 (don't you sleep?!?!?) The previous two posts haven't (yet) arrived, and neither are they in any junk folders. I've also noticed this on other threads, but can't work out a pattern. The delays have been as much as a few days! Is this just me, or is anyone else seeing this? Edit:- this post came through by email virtually instantly, of course!

... topic: 3652 Templot and Linux and 64-bit posted: 2 May 2020 10:45 from: Andrew Hunt Hi everyone, As alluded to elsewhere on the forum, I've been experimenting with making Templot run natively on Linux. The good news is that I managed to get it running without too much trouble, albeit with some parts disabled (which will of course need fixing for my work to be of any real-world use). Firstly, a disclaimer: I've never really used Templot until this week. During my research of modelling in P4, Templot came up time and time again, so it was obvious I should learn how to use it- but then I noticed it was currently Windows only, and I figured I might as well start by trying to make it run on Linux (of course I skipped the easy way out of trying Wine- or even starting up the Windows installation I have at home). While we're on the disclaimers, I've never even built a layout, beyond a Hornby loop laid out on ...

Also that it was 10 years old and likely to be out-of-date for modern versions of Lazarus. Also "make readable" is a joke for me, because having now tried it on a couple of files it does the exact opposite. Look at this for example then begin if p2.x= def_req then p2.X := rings[ring_list_index, 0]; if p2.y= def_req then p2.y := rings[ring_list_index, 1]; end else begin if p2.x= def_req then p2.X := screenx/ 2; // arbitrary ...

... . Especially anything, including makes, it is best to avoid. My basic preferences/needs are (I think): Flat bed, Good range and choice of scan resolutions (ppi/dpi), Choice of greyscale/colour and pixel resolution (4bit, 8 bit, 24bit etc), Ability to scan from a thickish book, ie "lid" needs to be either removeable or height adjustable, Abilty to scan film negatives and/or transparancies would be nice, but not essential, Works with OS Windows 10, Not too expensive (how long is a piece of string?), Preferably not USB powered.
