... : Hayfield For those like me who are not to clever at remembering things It would be nice if there could be preset scale/gauge settings for these two( I guess the sm32& 45 guys would also be interested) scale/gauge ration in the gauge/ scale selector. I do understand they are narrow and not standard gauges, and there are variants, but they are very popular scale/gauge combinations posted: 30 Aug 2015 13:11 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, I made the decision not to include narrow-gauges in the pre-sets. Partly because there are so many variants that they would completely swamp the list -- it is far too long already. But also because the timbering settings, rail-widths, etc., are not included in the gauge/scale settings. So simply changing the gauge and scale isn't sufficient if you still have 8ft-6in sleepers and 12" wide crossing timbers. The solution is to share customized template files with other users, one of the primary purposes of this ...

... great! Those new notes refer to the second diagram, so ideally they would go directly below it. Also the green boxes are intended to be "Handy Hints" rather than definitive explanation. I think those notes would be better as plain text. I will let you do that. If you get stuck just ask. Don't forget it's a wiki, so if you mess up it's dead easy to return to the previous version. Getting the information in place is more important than making it look pretty. It's handy to include a link to the Wiki pages when posting messages here. For those who don't know, we are talking about this page: http://templot.com/templot_wiki/index.php?title=Check_rails_and_wing_rails Just to add that everything on the Templot Wiki is self-contained on the Templot web site -- you are not linked to anywhere else on the web when using the Templot Wiki. I installed the same software as on the well-known Wikipedia web site so that anyone familiar with that site will find the Templot Wiki ...

... 25 You explained that the K crossings on a curving diamond have to be within limits, and at 1:7.5 I'm outside the limit in P4, though in S4 it might be OK. As I see it I've got three options :- 1 Ignore your warning and carry on regardless (I'm not getting any derailments on extensive testing of propelled vehicles, nor any other except a bit of hopping where wheels prove to have incorrect BB. However, it is possible to manually steer a vehicle the "wrong way", including a coach bogie) 2 Convert to switched K crossings- which is not realistic, as the photo shows 3. Redesign the crossing- the assembly is far from complete. Yes I've spent several days on it but it's my first obtuse crossing, so worth having another go if it will be better. Thinking about the third option: as the whole crossing is about 350mm long, would it be possible to "cludge" (is that a possible word to describe what I mean?!) or somehow fit in ...
... . Regards Raymond Thanks for the pointers Raymond. Regards Trevor posted: 22 Dec 2009 21:51 from: Martin Wynne Trevor Grout wrote: 1, Plain Track. when I extend the length of plain track, i keep getting an extra sleeper under the rail joint, I can get rid of it by timber shoving, but would like for this not to happen. Hi Trevor, The reason for the problem is that your custom plain track settings for "SECR 45ft/18 sleepers" contain an error. You have included the final 12" from the last sleeper to the rail end as a sleeper spacing. You should enter zero to terminate the list after reaching the final sleeper. Templot already knows the rail length and can work out the space between the final sleeper and the end of the rail. If you change the final 12" in the spacings list to 0, all will be well. You will need to select this new custom setting for all the plain track templates. 4. Printing. The age old problem, I ...
309. Measuring with GIMP
... Thanks in advance for the replies and advice. René. posted: 21 Aug 2007 04:40 from: Martin Wynne renluethi wrote: Is anybody willing to explain the measuring process with the GIMP Program? I have a similar job as Martin had with the goods wagon. I have a 3/4 view of a row of houses. When I put the grid over it and want to align the grid, the houses are also moving in the same direction as I drag the grid. Hi René, Please can you include a screenshot -- it's much easier to help when we can see what you are trying to do! The two important points to note are: 1. You must align the grid only over features which are rectangular and all in the same plane. 2. Before clicking Transform you must select Corrective mode (which is not the default). After transforming, the aspect ratio will almost certainly be wrong. You need to scale the image to the known overall dimensions. Templot makes a convenient way to do this with ...

... not recommended, and a recipe for mysterious error messages and missing files. all the BOXs, BGSs and PDFs it produces go in D:/My Documents/Models/Layout/Plans/ Much the best solution is to keep the Templot program and its files together. Just as you keep the cookery books in the kitchen. Templot files are meaningless to other programs so there is no reason to put them anywhere else. The program file is significantly smaller than the accumulated data files, so there is no great harm in including the entire Templot folder in your backup set. For best results install the Templot program in the same folder where you want to keep your data files. But not if the path to that folder includes a folder owned by Windows. The ideal location looks something like E:/RAILWAY_STUFF/MODELS/TEMPLOT/, with not a Windows folder in sight. The less you do things the Windows way the more reliable Templot will be. regards, Martin. posted: 26 Jul 2010 00:36 from: railwaynut02 Dear ...
... yet really got into it, so maybe others can advise further. There is a massive online resource of 3D objects to use in your Sketchup designs. However, I also have the Cadrail demo, and I will have a look at what's going on in the DXF import there. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Feb 2008 23:02 from: BeamEnds I have had quite a good play with SketchUp- and it is really quit amazing! I imported the Templot DXF and added baseboards and the room (loft) including roof supposts and the hidden bits at the ends of the roads within 2 hours! You can add buildings etc to your hearts content, the only real limit is how far you want to go. I did try to up-load it here, but the file is too big- if Martin could make a bit of room I'm more than happy to do so- I'm not the most artistic person in the world, but it is quite neat to be able to view the "completed" layout from any ange ...
... new name isn't displayed, but the old one. Hi Richard, The: character is irrelevant, the behaviour is the same whatever new name you use. With the storage box open the workpad is no longer double-buffered -- the highlighting is simply "chalked over" whatever is already there. That's why you can "rub it out" my moving the storage box window around, and what you then see is what was already there before you opened the storage box. The bug here is that the highlighting is including the template name in the wrong colour -- it should be in the highlight colour, not the original colour. Or else the template name should not be included in the highlighting. Thanks for reporting it, I will get it fixed. It's purely a display problem so there is no workaround needed -- the template name is changed correctly in the box data and as soon as you close the storage box the workpad is redrawn with the new name showing. regards, Martin.

Now as we chat and you fine ppl share I know I'll have other even more basic or totally stuid questions so pls bear with me. Thanks in Advance Richard posted: 12 Aug 2007 19:15 from: Paul Boyd Hi Richard Firstly it isn't "us guys"- it's one man, Martin Wynne Secondly, Templot isn't CAD, except in the most literal sense of the phrase. This is one area that newcomers to Templot, including myself years ago, 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 ...
316. Printing Error
... out the points on the 7. Headshunt (just these points), on landscape A4 paper (three sheets instead of five in portrait) from Small Soddingham (file is in the 'Share And Show' thread) the long timbers that extend under the adjacent road are truncated on at the edge of the paper. Hi Richard, In calculating which pages to print, Templot takes regard only of the rails. The timbers are ignored in the calculation. To print the timber ends you must either move the page origin sufficiently to include the timbers (SHIFT+ CTRL+ F10 mouse action), or include the adjacent page in the print run. If there is no track on that page, you can fool Templot into printing it by putting a very short dummy centre-line-only template on there. I do mean very short -- if you make the template length 0.1mm it will be barely visible. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Jan 2011 16:50 from: BeamEnds Hi Martin, Oh, right. I didn't realise that ...
... topic: 512 How low can you go- cheap PCs for Templot posted: 2 Aug 2008 23:40 from: Rextanka This is pretty off topic for most people, however I wanted to point something out for people on a budget who want a new PC. I just built a PC for home use for $350, not including Windows Vista Home Premium (another $114). Now all of this is in US money, but you can mail order it and pay the VAT/import duty, or get this stuff locally for a little more (because of the excessive UK VAT rate). The beauty (and curse) of technology is how, over time, it gets progressively cheaper. I was looking for the cheapest machine that would run vista and ubuntu linux, and still be capable of running things like templot, the 6 year old copy of Matlab student edition that I have, and some TI software for programming microcontrollers, whilst still having enough juice to do some programming under both vista and Linux.

Hi Joe, The print functions in IE6 are notoriously awful. Instead of printing directly to the printer, try printing to a PDF generator such as pdf995, or the Adobe virtual printer if you have it. Then you can set a custom page size wide enough to include the images. You can then print the PDF file via Adobe Reader, which includes page scaling functions. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Apr 2008 23:43 from: Richard Spratt Martin Wynne wrote: This is down to your browser settings, not the web page itself.
