... topic: 1729 drawing platform edge posted: 15 Dec 2011 10:38 from: LSWRArt I have read the very helpful Templot guides from Tony and Allan and also looked in the Companion and even tried to search, but could not find the answer to the following: Is it possible to create a line which is offset from the centre line of the track by a certain (user specified) amount e.g. to draw a platform edge line at the correct distance from the track and following the curve of the track? Looking forward to Xmas and (hopefully) the release of Templot 2. Best wishes, Art posted: 15 Dec 2011 10:47 from: Alan McMillan Yes. Real> Platforms menu item. The results are seen below.

343. Duplicates
... control template first. The make as a copy option is the same as copy to the control, but stores the existing control template first. You may find it better to stick to using either these new options, or the old ones, but not mix them up. If you change to Quick mode, the old ones are greyed out. If that's not the reason for the duplicates, can you say a bit more about the circumstances in which they arise? regards, Martin. posted: 22 Aug 2011 09:10 from: Raymond Hi Martin, No, I am not using the make command but the delete command, (it doe snot faze me) usually with the mouse.

... show? It seems to me that you lose quite a lot by crossing the outer track on the flat over the inner track and then fanning out into the red loops, in terms of: a)# of loops, b) length of loops, c) conflicting movements. On the other hand, you do leave the operating characteristics of the existing FY (7 up, 7 down, 3 reversible) untouched. An alternative scheme might be to: 1. Modify Martin's plan to augment the 7 green loops with 10 more, also taken off the inner (green) main line straights. That would give you your 17 anti-clockwise (I'm not sure about which are the up/down directions) loops. 2. Have the red main line (clockwise) straights fan into two roads in order to mate with the existing FY feeds (orange and blue) and use all 17 loops of that in a clockwise direction. 3. In order to provide reversal, make the red to orange/blue fans into crossovers, facing ...

346. Track Jig
... Cattley wrote: I have been trying to design a 60' track jig so I need to know the distance between the sleepers so I can make some spacers, I have been sent this guide to help but is it correct? Hi Len, Yes, that table is from BRT3 of 1964, page 54. It shows the spacings for traditional jointed track with timber sleepers for the BR post-nationalization era. The table shows centre-to-centre dimensions, so to create spacers for a jig you need to subtract 10" (the width of a sleeper) from each dimension. Modern concrete-sleepered CWR (long-welded) track differs. Pre-nationalization track also differs for each company and period, although not by much. Pre-grouping track for different companies varies more and generally used shorter rails. Those dimensions for 60ft bullhead rails are the default settings in Templot2, so to create a jig for such bullhead track you can simply print some straight plain track templates. To choose between 24, 25 or 26 sleepers per ...

The following message came up, "SB hi-res draw to trackpad failed". However, everything seems in order. System; Desktop PC i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. OS Windows 10 posted: 16 Feb 2017 10:53 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Godfrey. Just to be clear, were you using the sketchboard and displaying its items on the trackpad behind your templates? (SB is the sketchboard.) Or did that message appear out of the blue? If the former, had the sketchboard items been displaying normally up until then? The most likely reason is lack of system resources due to the extreme magnification needed as you zoom in on the trackpad. There is an option setting you can change to help with that, on the sketchboard control panel, settings ...
... :37 from: Phil O Hi Panos, As others have found, Templot is a steep learning curve, for most of us, it took me around three months of just working through the tutorials, until the penny dropped I would advise you to work through the video tutorials and one or two of the beginners guides that some of the members on here have produced. Phil posted: 8 Apr 2017 17:49 from: Alan Turner It would be nice to have a scale on that plan of yours. posted: 10 Apr 2017 09:43 from: Panos Tsirigotis Pierre. Thank you very much for your kind words and for following my topic on RMweb.I decided to go with code40 on visible areas and I found that soldering rail after all isn't such a big issue. My track plan isn't complicated anyway. I made a start in templot just before Christimas and I manage to draw a draft successfully. However is only a draft and has many imperfections. So here I am, ready to post queries to get answers to move on with ...
... with two spans and a central pier. Bridges often cause the track spacings to depart from the strict rules. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Oct 2014 22:51 from: Michael Woolford To save changing things too much, I might include something to justify the spacing by the crossovers, then ease it out towards normal spacings. Michael posted: 12 Oct 2014 22:05 from: Tony W Hi Michael. Whilst the track spacings could be altered, you should bear in mind that a wider formation will result with 10+ 6+ 10 ft spacings than 6+ 10+ 6 ft as you have them now, meaning there could be other implications as the bottom road will have to be moved further south. If this is not a problem then the question you have to answer is whether you can live with the "wrong" spacing or not. It will be much easier to alter the Templot plan at this stage than build the layout and wish you had done it differently. I also notice that your control template (plain track ...

Phil posted: 7 Jun 2014 10:38 from: Martin Wynne Phil O wrote: Which of the myriad of '0' gauge track standards are best suited to Slaters wheels. Hi Phil, The answer is 0-MF. Then you weigh up all the pros and cons, for example see this topic: topic 2415- message 16321 and then you decide on 0-MF. It's true that 0-SF would give you slightly better results and appearance, but with the restriction of using Slaters wheels only. So you would not be able to run 0 gauge models with other or older wheels. And you would need to make your own gauge tools for 0-SF, whereas gauges for 0-MF are available from Debs (and also I believe from Roxey Mouldings): topic 1811 If you adopt 0- ...

... topic: 3019 Small Great Eastern Layout posted: 3 May 2017 10:28 from: Josh C Good Morning All, I thought I would share with you a little project I have been scheming for a while behind the scenes. Some of you may have seen my recent thread in regards to a larger 7mm layout I am working on with a friend, but I am also working on a smaller project that I could set up within the size limitations I have at home (8ft x 2ft 6). I have frequently been playing around with this plan and I think I am nearly in a position to start printing it out and perhaps having a go at building it. However, over the last couple of days I have had some concern over the 3 way tandem turnout and whether or not the switches were to close. I have therefore made two plans, one with a more relaxed turnout where the switch are close, possibly too close and another with a less generous radius turnout but the switches are further away. I have tried to ...

... topic: 3044 OOn3 track comparision posted: 14 Jul 2017 16:33 from: Dr G Alan Gee I model Irish 3ft narrow gauge in 4mm scale on 12mm track. I have used Peco HOm track in the past. peco points are 20 inch (508mm) radius with a V angle of 10 degrees. The distance from the bottom of the V to the tie bar is 105mm. The nearest point to this I have tried to draw with Templot is a B6. this has a similar radius of 566mm but the length from V to tie bar is 134mm and the V angle is larger. My question is why are the Peco points more compact and what do I have to do with Templot to produce something similar ie shorter in length but with a 20 inch radius. posted: 14 Jul 2017 17:16 from: stuart1600 Hello, Alan (since you didn't sign your posting I'm guessing that's appropriate) You've hit on the fundamental difference between Templot and train-set type pointwork- the latter has to be manufactured to a fixed ...
... Palmer wrote: I didn't alter the carriage line and shunting neck clearances as these already provided more than the standard six foot. Hi John, The standard for those is 10ft way (60.67mm centres) from a running line. Or 9ft way minimum, 56.67mm centres, where space constraints make it unavoidable -- for example between bridge parapets. However, often on a model we have our own space constraints. Martin. posted: 17 Jul 2017 20:45 from: John Palmer Yes, I thought I had adopted the 10' spacing both between running line and carriage line and between carriage line and neck, but on re-visiting this I find that I must have adopted a rather smaller value close to nine foot- can't now recall why I did so. I admit to having been lazy this time and not opening out the spacing of these tracks! posted: 20 Jul 2017 02:43 from: d827kelly Thanks for all your assistance and comments.

That's very steep, especially if on a curve. Have you checked that your locomotives will pull a train up 1:30? Model gradients are usually around 1:60 to 1:80 for running lines. The short answer to your question is about 250mm- 10" or roughly the length of a coach as the minimum length for a vertical curve. Here is a diagram from Russ Elliott (with the gradient much exaggerated): vertical-curve.gif Obviously if you have room for a longer vertical curve, so much the better. Especially if you stick with 1:30 gradient. There was much discussion about vertical curves on E4um and the Templot email group in 2004: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/templot/conversations/messages/6779 E4um appears to be ...
