... first turnout (SHIFT+ F11 mouse action -- keep an eye on the turnout radius and increase the turnout size if needed). Then at template> V-crossing settings..., tick this box before making the first crossover: 2_280306_090000002.png* entry-straight is the name for that section of a regular V-crossing. It is actually straight only in a straight turnout. In a curved turnout it is curved to the same radius as the main road. cheers, Martin. posted: 29 May 2020 07:21 from: Graham Long Thanks for information. I have used you recipe to make a template for a scissors crossover on a curve. I see there are black lines on the template. It appears that the two them indicate the boundary between knuckle and closure rail. If this correct then the tips of the diamond is definitely closer to toe of turnouts. Thus it seems that I have a Scissors 1. I think I will be able to to stop wing rails from interfering with running rail and aligning crossing timbers ...
... - this one ROCO. There is a common running rail with splayed ends going right down the middle of the double slip. Is there a real prototype of this formation, or is it just a "manufacturers convenience"?

Hi Roger, It's a double outside-slip of the German Baeseler pattern: 507px-2001-07-19.0004.DKW-Baeseler.jpg This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license Quite common on the continent but not used (as far as I know) in the UK. The outside-slip design allows for a shorter crossing angle at the same radius, for cramped station throats. Or an easier radius for higher speed in running lines. Can be done in Templot with a bit of fiddling about, but not easy to build. cheers, Martin. posted: 18 May 2020 19: ...
... topic: 3649 regular or curviform? posted: 20 Apr 2020 07:21 from: Martin Wynne For the umpteenth time over the years, I have just posted a reply on RMweb explaining the difference between regular and curviform V-crossings, and how the latter can make more space in a cramped yard. It may as well be copied here: I fear there is insufficient room in the yard for a loading gauge or a crane Both of your turnouts need to be changed to curviform type V-crossings. This will improve the line of the curves and make more space. You might find that you could then use shorter turnouts. To change the type of V-crossing, click the green R indicator so that it changes to C: 2_200116_490000000.png You can see that in a regular V-crossing the part of the turnout marked in yellow is curving in the same direction as the main road. Changing to curviform causes that part of the turnout to curve away from the main road, creating more space between the tracks if the tracks ...

It is designed for narrow gauge having a wider foot than the standard type. It is also HiNi as well Interested to know how you are going to represent the metal timbering. posted: 28 Apr 2020 11:07 from: wcampbell23 Hi Bruce Some of the KBscale products are now available through Narrow Planet- have a look at: http://shop.narrowplanet.co.uk/collections/kbscale?page=2 This would provide the sleepering and matching turnout "timbering".

... around 2003. It does the job; I've scanned nearly all the pics I'm going to scan. If I was to replace it then I'd go for the Epson V550 as Martin has done. Modern Epson scanners have improved light sources and very little start-up time, amongst other things. I sometimes wish the 3170 would pack-up so that I could justify the V550! Think the resolution thing doesn't matter. Scanners like the V550 have much more resolution than most applications require. posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:07 from: John Shelley My thanks to Martin and Nigel for what they have added to this thread. Before I go any further I must say that this morning by mistake I plugged in my Epson 1670 instead of the external hard disk that I use for backups, and it burst into life as if nothing had happened. I don't understand it, one day it works, then a few days later it won't ackle at all and then three days later it is back and happy with life again. Nett result is that ...

I probably did register my Delphi5 with Borland 20 years ago -- before it became Inprise, and then CodeGear, and now Embarcadero. But I have had no contact with them since.

... construction templates for them. In diagram mode output, as here on the sketchboard, templates are drawn in the order in which they are listed on the storage box. So you need to move the upper-level tracks towards the bottom of the list. You can also differentiate the levels by means of different marker colours: 2_210001_540000000.png Also in diagram mode templates set to centre-lines only are not shown, so you could that way do something like this: 2_210010_040000000.png cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Feb 2020 11:07 from: Mike Kynaston Martin, Thanks for those two replies. The dummy vehicle was the option that my friend had mentioned, so he found that response useful as well, having lost it in the menus! I assumed that everything remained flat, in terms of levels, but I will probably take your advice on the centre line approach when printing templates off, just to aid the readability. Could you point me in the right direction re number 5 please? Using shift and snap works, but it's frustrating always having ...

... : 18 Dec 2020 19:04 from: DerekStuart Thanks Martin I've made a bit of a breakthrough in understanding the codes necessary to understand GPS output. As far as I can see, standalone GPS trackers use a format known as NMEA and the output comes out like this: $GPGGA,185259.858,5131.860,N ,00007.412,W ,1 ,12,1.0,0.0,M ,0.0,M ,, *73 $GPGSA,A ,3 ,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12,1.0,1.0,1.0*30 $GPRMC,185259.858,A ,5131.860,N ,00007.412,W ,, ,181220,000.0,W *6F This is the location of the passenger footbridge at Kings Cross, platform 8.

Advice please on how I can crop the shapes and also the easiest way of making them contiguous. many thanks Brian Whitehead posted: 24 Jan 2020 12:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Welcome to Templot Club. The crop/combine button is disabled unless the currently selected shape is a rectangle. Which will be converted to the new picture shape. Full details of how to use the crop/combine function, and a video, are at: http://templot.com/companion/crop_combine.php To make 2 maps contiguous, they need to be scaled to a common size of course, matching your model scale. Which will be the case if you have used Templot's automated import from the NLS ...
... So I have been playing in Templot2 preparing for some track laying, watched lots of tutorials and info pages but just wondered if anyone can tell me what your supposed to do with the sleepers that cross over into each other? The 2 images are an A5 and B6 crossover and the gauge is set to 4SF, 16.2mm with 50mm between track centres. I ask as I plan to export the files and cut my own sleepers to match the templot file. 3556_021036_190000000.png 3556_021036_490000000.png Attachment: attach_2972_3592_crossover_a5.png 98 posted: 2 Jan 2020 16:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Jason, You need to omit some timbers (red below) and extend others to the full width across both tracks (purple below).

... topic: 3712 GB Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRN) posted: 4 Jul 2020 07:24 from: Martin Wynne You have a street address, a postcode, an OS Grid Reference, Latitude/Longitude, What 3 Words, and several other location identifiers. Did you know that in GB* you also have a UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number)? Ordnance Survey have just released free access to their full list of UPRNs under their latest OpenData initiative. If you have your railway in a garden shed, it may have its own UPRN. If there is a bus shelter in your street, it may also have a UPRN. In theory you should be able to enter the UPRN instead of a full address and postcode in all official documents, web sites, letters, christmas cards, online delivery orders, etc. In practice, good luck with that. Robert Whittaker has used the data to set up a quick map to discover your UPRN: http://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/uprn/ Zoom in to at least ...
... :38 from: Julian Roberts I remember seeing track joints like the ones you describe Alan, in Belgium in the late 70s when I worked there for a year. I thought it looked a much better design than we used to have in Britain and wonder why it wasn't the way we did things here.

... topic: 210 Welcome to our 250th forum member posted: 27 Oct 2007 19:07 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, Nearly 6 months on from moving to the new Templot Club forums, and we have just today gained our 250th member. Welcome Alex. That's still fewer than 50% of the old Yahoo group membership, but I know there are many on there still receiving forum emails via Yahoo who have never registered on Templot Club. Time to take stock, perhaps. The original intention was to reduce my off-group support emails by offering a user area independent of the dreaded word Yahoo. Certainly my off-group emails have reduced, but I don't detect any higher proportion of users now joining here than used to join on Yahoo. It is still only a small minority of Templot users actually joining, but no doubt many more read the forum pages without joining. So has the move been a success? regards, Martin. posted: 27 Oct 2007 19:26 from: Stumpytrain Hi Martin, Do I get a ...
