341. Printing Error
... topic: 1333 Printing Error posted: 10 Jan 2011 16:26 from: BeamEnds Hi all, when printing 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. It could be just my set-up, and it's not the end of the world, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

What I want to do is make a template and put it somewhere so I that I can go back to it later and print off another one. Please don't put up another long explanation. I appreciate your efforts, but it's clearly beyond me. I've written down the dimensions and I'm able to recreate them from scratch and print them off.

I checked template No. 18 top left of your layout, 00-BF GWR 16ft. heel+ V- 10 LH template. First I think you have the blunt nose forward of the A timber centre distance wrong, you have set the dimension to 5.25 inches, this should be 3 inches( see page 31 of Mr Smith's book top of second column (top right hand corner). To correct this:-< geometry>< real>< V-crossing options>< customize V-crossing>< blunt nose> Change the value of the second item in this menu. One thing that's got me foxed at the ...

Cheers Richard posted: 30 Jan 2011 21:15 from: Martin Wynne BeamEnds wrote: I think the check rails have been covered- it was a mistake brought on by using flat bottom rail on a bullhead drawing- I just forgot to change size. Hi Richard, I'm puzzled by this. The REA designs for bullhead V-crossings show check rails spanning 4 timbers on V-crossings shorter than 1:6 and spanning 5 timbers for 1:6 to 1:10 inclusive. There is no bullhead design where the check rail spans only 3 timbers. Templot doesn't draw any as short as that unless you specifically change the settings to make them so. It would be wise to change them, not simply because they are wrong, but because they may not be long enough to function correctly as check rails. But it's looking excellent as a first build of pointwork. Many thanks for posting the pictures. regards, Martin. posted: 30 Jan 2011 22:42 from: BeamEnds Martin ...
346. 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. Regards Raymond posted: 22 Aug 2011 09:53 from: Alan McMillan Hi I've occasionally found the same thing. It happened recently, I created a length of plain track and stored it to the background. I then went back to it five minutes later to shove some timbers. I deleted it to the control again and started shoving. At that ...
... topic: 1614 Shapes? Where did they go? posted: 1 Sep 2011 10:23 from: radiopaque Hi, I sweated a an hour or so getting the contours of the table just right, but the next time I opened Templot, all that work was gone :-( I'm sure I did something wrong, or forgot something. How would I make these background shapes (CTRL-S) permanent? Another question is: Is there a way to introduce a curved lines (for the inside of my U-shaped table)? I could not find one, but I am curious if there is another solution except just drawing a couple of straight lines, to approximate the curve.

... topic: 1315 Printing from PDF.... posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:09 from: BruceNordstrand Howdy I "printed" my latest plan to PDF (via deskPDF) using A0 size paper and took it off to a printing house today. I have just looked at the resulting sheets and find that parts of the print are cut off. Now I assume that Templot& deskPDF would have printed to the PDF file the a plan that *should* have successfully printed exactly the same on paper but just wanted to check before I go yell at the printing house, $31.00 for 7 A0 sheets will get expensive if I have to keep trying....

351. Cheddar (ish) in P4
... I am currently in the process of drawing up a track plan for my new layout based upon Cheddar station. Still need to do the fine editing of sleeper positions etc, but would welcome any comment on areas to fix/improve. This includes my first attempt at drawing a single slip. Attachment: attach_1160_1608_Cheddar_mk3.6.box 329 posted: 28 Aug 2011 14:24 from: Raymond Good attempt but there are a lot of REA B6's and it looks as though you have the room, in over 12 feet length, to do GWR 10& 12+ foot switches, They would look better for a GW layout and have the correct timber spacings too. Did you follow a plan for this? You have also ommitted to shorten the check rails for your slip on the slip road side.

... topic: 2012 Name labels moving unexpectedly? posted: 10 Jul 2012 22:48 from: dave turner Hi perhaps someone could explain whether the following is expected behaviour or not. I have been experimenting with creating slips and took advantage of the arrange name labels function in order to make it easy to select partial templates. I notice however that once I select a partial template again the label immediately moves to a random position whether or not any changes are made to the template. I have found this irritating as I have to rearrange the labels repeatedly. Have I missed something? regards Dave posted: 10 Jul 2012 23:18 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, No, you haven't missed anything. The control template doesn't have a label, so when you delete a background template to the control template, the label position data is lost. There is a setting at main> program panel> program> template name labels> to control the initial label position, but that doesn't take any account of any previous position. The functions to arrange ...
... 53 from: LSWRArt Two questions relating to real practice for catch points (or is it trap point?) for sidings:- what decides whether it should be a single blade, or two? For example at Lyme Regis, the catch point exiting the bay had two blades, whereas the catch point exiting the yard had only one blade.- is there any special fixing, or special type of chair for the short point blade (the one between the tracks)? Typically, this rail is only sitting on about 10 chairs, most of which are slide chairs, so what stops this rail moving backwards and forwards? N.B. My question only relates to historic practice (the earlier the better), not what is done today.

I for one would like to say thanks very much for this. I have been pondering over a problem with a courved double slip where there isn't really enough room for the blade tips to move. I keep comming back to look at this and though it would probably take up more space and require a redesign of the surrounding section of track, I ...
... along the plain track. The "Curve" mouse button is very useful for bending track. The Size button lengthens or shortens it. Just with those simple rules, I have been able to do some moderately sophisticated plans now. I see you are basing everything on Wantage. Don't get too close to my own P4 effort though, or I will be putting the matter in the hands of a solicitor ;) posted: 31 Jul 2013 17:54 from: R C Lake Here's a quick one I knocked up in 10 minutes using the things I described. I started with the "main line", getting a nice curve using the Geometry/Transition Curve/ S-curve option and then added turnouts as I described. The only tricky bit was getting the return crossover from the loco shed road to the main line aligned. I had to fiddle around a bit using the Roam, Size and Curve options.null You may need to check my radii to make sure they are within your parameters. Experts, please don't laugh too loudly at my ...

Currently only the 1.0mm flangeway version for Scale7 is available but gauge-widened and Overscale (sorry, O fine) ones will follow. These products are meant to complement the existing C&L and Exactoscale ranges. 100_200849_060000000.jpg Somewhat enlarged rendering of the CC or S1C chair. 100_200848_240000000.jpg What you get for your money; total size is 50 x 26 x 4mm.

... 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 ...

That's OK (and really useful!), but at some point (in Quick mode) the user will want to print the plan... The basic tenet of Quick mode is that Templot always stores the templates for you ...
