301. Templot updates
... is why they weren't in earlier versions. Second, rambling explanations: a. Version 082d is available to all Templot users. Version 091b is available only to members of this Templot Club forum, on the implied understanding that you will report here any problems which arise. The reason is that the change from 082d to 091b represents a change in the compiler which I use for the Templot program code, and I need to be sure that everything is working properly before I make it a general release. Having said that, very few problems have actually arisen, and it is now nearly 12 months since the change. There are a few extra features in 091b from 082d, see this topic for chapter and verse and the download link: topic 113 b. The Templot Companion docs and especially the tutorials were written in 2001 using 074b. Which is why I recommend staying with that version while you are reading and following them. Later versions of Templot have had the menus re-arranged and other changes made. Which are easy to find your way around ...
... to contact Len on the telephone yesterday morning and apparently he never received my order from 4 January so that was quickly resolved with a promise of dispatch on Monday or earlier if he can manage it. If my initial order subsequently turns up he promised to return it to me.(A bit worrying as my credit card details are with the order- will have to keep a close watch on my card transactions!) He is currently preparing for his next exhibition so is pretty busy but he did say that he had very few orders outstanding. If others are still waiting suggest they try and contact him because he told me there have been problems with Exactoscale orders getting mislaid. posted: 16 Feb 2012 21:18 from: Tony W Hi all. For general information, Exactoscale will be at the Watford Finescale show this weekend 18th 19th. As the link does not seem to work, search on Watford model railway show.

... make counting easier: harrogatehaworth_light.jpg© Roderic Cameron I've gimped the image and re-sized it based on the length of the check rails and the most likely length of the top of the FPL plate (which I've assumed to be in the same plane as the rail top). It turns out that a B6.5 CLM (6.46 RAM) with generic crossing fits quite well, and that just happens to have 24 timbers between the rail joint and the check rail (timbers J2- T11): harrogatehaworth_b65.png harrogatehaworth_b65_1.png I will post a few more notes about the gimping later. Anyone else tried it? regards, Martin. posted: 11 Jan 2008 04:49 from: Jim Guthrie Martin Wynne wrote: Jim Guthrie wrote: It looks like it might be an A switch if the pitch of the timbers is around 2' 6".

However, I hit a problem when playing around with these functions. I created a single sided left hand tandem based on a C9 REA initial configuration, then started to adjust the timbering. I shortened some of the through timbers, then made the branch track template the control. ...

First a couple of lengths of plain track try the curving and transitions then insert a turnout or two in the plain track then make that into a simple crossover etc. Then change the switch and crossing angles etc and before you know it you've got the makings of a layout it might not be what you want to build but you've spent a bit of time and produced something viable. Keep experimenting with the various options available and you will ...
... Please join to get the most from Templot. Templot Club is at: http://85a.co.uk/forum 1. First there is the original Templot Companion web site. Mostly written 20 years ago and barely updated since, including some lengthy static tutorials. Large parts of it are now out of date, or have been overtaken subsequently by many new features and functions. But it still contains more information in one place than anywhere else: 2_031328_430000000.png It's here: http://templot.com/martweb/templot_gs.htm 2. A few years after that, I started creating the Camtasia downloadable videos. They are also mostly out of date. There is a long list of them on this page: 2_031328_430000001.png It's here: http://templot.com/martweb/video_list.htm 3. As the old versions developed I created two long pages explaining all the additional features introduced. Those pages contain masses of information which has never been linked in anywhere else: 2_031328_430000002.png Find them here: http://templot.com/martweb/pug_info.htm 4. Separately from all that, ...
... P4 of Ciliau Aeron just before and maybe after nationalisation. It was classed as a light railway and was home to a small fleet of 74xx Panniers and 14/48xx and autocoach's. There was a combination of Flatbottom and Bullhead since the line was built. However at some point between 48-51 the line through my halt was re-laid with BH. However the line was not re-laid throughout, as the platform road in Aberayron still had both FB and BH including FB turnouts until closure in '65. A few questions: The 1911 board of trade inspection stated the following FB rail 75lb/yd on 9'x10"x5" sleepers, with BH of 80 1/2lb/yd on 9'x9"x4.5" sleepers on curves to GWR standard. Would these sleeper sizes have been maintained until the 50's? At the halt i'm modelling the line was FB through the platform (until 48-51) but there are no photos of the goods loop to the East of the platform until the early 50's. The turnouts in these photos are ...
... to show the correct version in the warning message... but I only tried that after I'd worked out what the problem was. Could I suggest the use of some HTTP caching headers on the version warning web page to prevent anyone else getting into this situation? Thanks. Regards, Andy posted: 7 Oct 2015 21:49 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Andy. I have now modified the source. It is 10 months since the 211b program update, so it was unfortunate that you were updating to 211b only a few hours before I uploaded 212a.

... - which is one of biggest attractions of the proces. Not to mention wrestling with Templot, which at present I can see is a magnificent tool, but I'm at the start of what appears to be a steep learning curve... Again, thanks for reading this far if you have! -- Phil posted: 27 Jan 2013 22:35 from: Rob Manchester Hi Phil, I have always liked the books on layout design by Iain Rice. If you search Amazon's book section with his name there are a few kits. Realistic Railway Modelling: Layout Design and Approach to Model Railway Layout Design: Finescale in Small Spaces are both excellent in my view and although he fav ours very rural branch lines and light railways much of the information about layout presentation and design is applicable to many layouts. If you can get to a model show where there is a bookdealer you can often have a quick flick though which often gives an idea if the contents are suitable for your taste. I like the 2mm track book too although I model in ...
310. Templot locks PC
... around 0ft by 0ft and at around 16ft by 8ft. Picture, at clicked location, add shape and browse. Modify shape, transparent, and scale to 16ft wide by mouse action. Main, Program panel then Session, project box title, then enter a name. Session, gauge and scale, S4/P4, OK It's at this point that everything locks up. So far, all I've done is to add a background picture, then I attempted to change from T-55 to P4. There's obviously a few things to try, like not using the default preferences, but can you repeat this, and do you have any specific ideas of what I should try to help you debug this? I'm about to save the background shapes before changing gauge next, but I'll post this first so I don't lose it all in case it crashes again! Edit:- it didn't crash! So, it appears that if I save the background shapes before changing gauge/scale, all is fine. Does that help? Last edited on ...
... a group. The new tag functions make it easy to re-create previous groups. The green tool-button is a quick way to use the selection fence, you don't have to access it via the menu. What are you trying to do? regards, Martin. posted: 20 Feb 2013 16:14 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Mike, The quickest way to add or remove templates from a group, if you don't want to use the selection fence, is like this (the video may take a few moments to load): Note that you must click on the name label, not the template. Click to toggle the template in to or out of the group. Press the ESC key to exit this mode. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Feb 2013 16:33 from: bainin Thanks, Martin.

... topic: 2904 "solderless" common crossings posted: 23 Jul 2016 21:17 from: DerekStuart Sorry- another question. I'm really not trying to hijack the forum. I have asked this question of a few people to get a broad range of opinions and can think of no better place to ask than here where the experts gather. Solderless common crossings: Good idea or bad idea? As there are so many different methods, I mean making the vee as normal- bend, file, bend, solder as described by Martin and others throughout the internet (preferably with a bend from vertical to inclined rail- easy after practice). Then the wing rails are added using functional chairs- on the A timber a cut down check rail chair can be used and then these are secured using glue or solvent as normal. I have been warned against this for reasons of longevity. But I have tried alternately baking and freezing a turnout for several days and no sign of deformation or breaking. I have dropped it from a reasonable height etc ...
... of OO-sf Gauges has been ordered from the machine shop (the same one that I used) and so should be available direct from C&L in the not-too-distant future; I don't think that the Gauges feature on the C&L website yet though, so perhaps it would be worth dropping Pete an email to express an interest. Many thanks to all who have purchased Gauges from me in the past- I hope they've proved useful. I've had some fun with the project over the last few years and I'm happy to pass on the task of Gauge supply to Pete at C&L, happy in the knowledge that they will be in safe hands and continue to be available for the foreseeable future. And finally, I would like to express my particular thanks to Martin Wynne, for not only introducing us to the advantages of 00-sf in the first place, but also with help and advice regarding the design of the Gauges and subsequent expert advice over the last few years (since late 2006 I believe ...
... failed to arrive after several weeks. I can only imagine that computer CDs fall into a security black hole somewhere. Obviously vast numbers of CDs are sent through the post, so I'm wondering if the fact that the Templot CD is recorded is the problem (whereas mass-produced CDs are pressed). I'm so fed up with this happening time and again that I am minded to discontinue supplying CDs entirely. The vast majority of users now download the program -- most folks are now on broadband and it takes only a few seconds. Even on slow dial-up it takes less than 5 minutes. Another question -- if I adopted a USB memory stick instead of a CD as the delivery method (such memory sticks are now inexpensive), would it, and the stored data, survive airmail security checks? Looking at many software suppliers it seems that download is now the only method of supply -- even where an imaginary boxed product is shown on the web site. Comments welcome -- if you have a Templot CD, how ...

... often have problems with. If you've never used a CAD-based application then you have an advantage as you won't be trying to work Templot as if it's CAD! It does have a steep learning curve. I'm one of those people that buys software and dives straight in. You can't do that with Templot, and I found that by working through the tutorials repeatedly it suddenly clicked. Once it's clicked, it's actually very easy to use, and the more you use it the more features you find. There's still a few I'm vaguely aware of but have never used! You don't need to worry about asking questions here.

... topic: 2069 An introduction...and a small plan posted: 4 Oct 2012 14:32 from: Nick-L Good afternoon, First post here, and just thought I'd introduce myself. I returned to modelling a few years back and earlier in the year decided to move to P4. Recent months have been spent reading and starting a few stock conversions etc, but now is the time to get on and build some track work as I'm at the point where I need to run some stock etc. My interests are firmly in the diesel era, and specifically the late BR years (late 80's, early 90's), and I am focusing my modelling on the South Wales freight scene for the most part. Having built the obligatory bits of plain track and so on (utilising C&L components for now) I am ready to get a short 'plank' up and running, and to that end I have started with Templot. The main objective is to get a little more experience with building trackwork and to have something on which ...
318. S curve construction
... get the 'convert half diamond to turnout' to construct a decent turnout for the later 'make slip road' operation- the only difference, that I can see, between my attempts and your video is that your video is mandraulically constructed whereas the crossover in my attempts was auto-constructed as a ladder crossover- resulting in a 1:12 slip. TIA& best rgds, Dave Pundefined Attachment: attach_1647_2221_Newcastle_NSR.box 262 posted: 9 Aug 2013 11:23 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Thanks for posting your file. A few pointers: 1. The Down Loop is too close to the running lines. Where a loop or siding is adjacent to a running line, the rules require the track spacing to be increased by 4ft to 10ft way instead of 6ft way. In 2mm scale you need to increase the spacing by 8mm for 4ft scale. You can do that by mental arithmetic, or simply by entering #8 in the data-entry dialog. Here's a bit of Jing video showing that (in 4mm scale): http:/ ...
319. Saving Templot
... you choose not to use the location which Templot suggests, Templot won't automatically find them in the next session. It is then up to you to remember where you put them and navigate to them in the file dialog. This is all basic Windows stuff and I have said that providing Windows primers is beyond my remit in supporting Templot. But here we go (screenshots below from Firefox): After clicking the download link, you should see this: 2_270137_550000000.png Click the Save File button. When download is complete (only a few seconds on broadband): 2_270137_550000001.png 1. click the download icon. 2. click (or double-click) on the downloaded file. You will then likely see some security warnings like this: 2_270137_550000002.png Templot is safe to run on your computer. Click the Run button. You should then see the Templot2 installer program: 2_270137_550000003.png Click the Next button and accept the Terms of Use on the next screen. You should now be seeing this: 2_270137_550000004.png If you don't want to use the default install location for Templot showing ...
... 8 sleepers (N1 to N8) have been rolled-in in front of the first rail joint on the current template. The result is a full rail length of 13 sleepers (5+ 8) across the boundary, and the sleeper spacing at the boundary is now correct. Previously it was necessary to enter the rolled-in rail lengths manually using the data showing in the info panel, or to use the CTRL-F4 roll rails and sleepers mouse action. Now Templot does it for you. There are a few restrictions, and you need to work methodically: Both the current template and the selected background template must be plain track templates. To use this function for the approach or exit tracks on a turnout or half-diamond template, you must first split them off as separate plain track templates -- use the tools> make split> menu items. You can work from either the CTRL-0 or CTRL-1 end of the background template, but the rolled in rail length applies only to the CTRL-1 end ...
