... and that is probably the problem. I will start using the output menu instead of the print now. In regard to that, after loading the previous calibration settings from the file "button," what pops up is the cal file and I hit open, then all went well. Would it be possible on the print now feature, if there is only one printer calibrated and in the file, that the print now feature would use that calibration by default?

Hi John, I'm having a think about that. There is a significant problem -- using the wrong calibration data is likely to be 10 times worse than using the printer uncalibrated. Even if Templot finds some saved calibration data, there is no way of knowing that it applies to the very same ...
... topic: 3837 Admin: web site changes posted: 19 Dec 2020 20:07 from: Martin Wynne For over 15 years now, the entire Templot web site and my email has been in the capable hands of Jim Hale in Columbus, Ohio. The service from Jim's little web hosting company has been superb. Any problem rapidly dealt with. Every email quickly answered. Valuable knowledge and advice freely offered. A complete opposite to the trouble and strife I'd had with larger UK-based hosting companies previously. But all good things come to an end. Jim has reached an age where getting up in the middle of the night to dash to the data centre has lost its appeal. He says he is looking to find someone to take over his business, or if not to begin winding it down. So far there is no-one interested, and he has not been taking on new customers for some time now. Either way, it would seem that it's time to bring the Templot web site home to the UK. Jim has ...

348. Y-turnouts again
... lot by people working on narrow gauge layouts I suspect. Hi Rob, Maybe, but it's 10 times easier to use an ordinary handed contraflexure turnout as a Y, which has been available since the beginning of time. There is a new function for that: 2_201356_080000000.png which can be applied to any template, and will adjust the curving so that the turnout radius matches the curving radius. Much quicker than doing it manually while watching the info going to and fro. cheers, Martin. posted: 20 Nov 2020 19:07 from: Rob Manchester Martin, Agreed.

Also when removing the flares I lose all the flares including those on the 'V' but the diagram in David Smiths GWR switch and crossing practice book, blocked crossing work on page 91 shows at 1. the diamond 'V' check in the centre of the turnout 'V' approaches only flared at one end and the other end machined to a blunt nose.

... state. We stayed in a B&B in Loch Carron. Every morning you could hear the 24s shunting the goods sidings across the loch. I've tried to pin-point where the sidings were; they could have been at Strome but I had a feeling they were higher up the loch. Before BR ditched general freight the line had quite extensive freight traffic and the sidings carried overflow from the limited storage facilities at Kyle. Nigel Last edited on 1 Nov 2020 01:41 by Nigel Brown posted: 1 Nov 2020 07:17 from: Julian Roberts Interesting to know that even then there was still extensive freight traffic. The limitation of the layout I'm making (which will be dated early BR) is that most of the shunting will be offstage. Some shunting did come up to the engine shed area, and I'll have to invent additional moves, and reasons to use the siding by the shed. Long way to go still... posted: 1 Nov 2020 09:26 from: wcampbell23 Julian Roberts wrote: Hi Alan, ...

I still don't fancy building it, a couple of those 'V's look a bit small, even at full size. http://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/854276623049612105/?nic_v2=1a13uHclb Cheers Phil posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:26 from: Dave Summers Here's a link without the need to use Pinterest http://www.britishempire.co.uk/article/plymouth/millbaystation.htm Dave Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

Usually on the OS 25" maps you can at least rely on the position of the switch toe, so I started from there. And usually during a renewal it would be retained, to avoid modifying the rodding runs. A C-9 seemed a likely contender, ...
... of the templates in an object-oriented paradigm, where they are things operated on. Maybe that's my problem? But then what's the correct way of thinking? If they aren't objects, they certainly aren't functions. So please enlighten me, I'm in need of a good head twist, because my head is clearly not screwed on correctly to understand all this. This isn't a 'being from across the pond' problem, is it?

Untitled-2.jpg John posted: 27 Jul 2020 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, That function is working, but I think possibly you missed the operative word "output" on there. It applies only for printed templates and exported PDF files, not on the trackpad. Sorry, there isn't a function to show the sketchboard items on the trackpad in front of anything else. It would be tricky to implement and significantly affect the screen response speed. What I suggest you could do if you want to design sketchboard items over the map, would be to put the ...
