341. A new trolley
... The first half of the layout was a success but the second half didn't really fit in. The time came when I'd got everything out of it I wanted to, and it was dismantled in preparation for my developing 3mm stuff. The vice is Proxxon. It's reasonably good; it attaches to the bench by suction, but they also do one with a clamp which may be a better idea. Like most Proxxon stuff it's well made. You can have things at different angles. Nigel posted: 13 Nov 2018 01:05 from: Rob Manchester Hi Nigel, Thanks very much for the US pics. The UP SD7 drifting down is excellent- one of my favorite locos. I know what you mean about point motors- been there. I love the way US modellers have it easy- no need to choose between 3-link or Jackson/Spratt&Winkle couplers as you just use KD's and you are good to go. No messing about with wagon springing or compensation. Don't even get me started on the many lovely craftsman building kits ...

The only thing I'm not sure about now, is when I have complicated pointwork how I should handle it? For example, I'm somewhat working backwards in the below from where the Vee's are, and some of the timbers seem... impractically large. http://i.imgur.com/2kd33PD.png posted: 14 Oct 2018 22:29 from: William Williamson I actually think I've done most of the work, does this make sense though?

... topic: 3338 Turnout sleeper spacing posted: 9 Oct 2018 05:34 from: Graeme Lewis Hi I have recently begun using the "shove timber" function to try and emulate Midland Railway sleepering for turnouts (rather than drawing the timbers by hand on the base board). This works very well. However, I am having little success in trying to copy the control template once I have modified the sleeper spacings and widths. For example, I went into Real/Switch Settings and set an A switch using the control template which had been modified to the desired timbering. However, when I apply this for other turnouts the timbering stays as per the Templot default. I have also tried copying a whole turnout and adding this but usually I get a message saying I cannot do this because it is already in the storage box. I can manually modify every turnout but for a layout 70' x 22' some short cuts are desirable! Any help would be appreciated.

... sleeper is a 12" one with a smaller spacing between it and the next 10" one. Two panels back to back give a 60' panel Last edited on 25 Sep 2018 12:49 by Hayfield posted: 26 Sep 2018 08:52 from: Judi R I hope this will have the correctly spaced sleepers for British BH track, closer together at the ends. I was very disappointed to find that the DCCconcepts Legacy BH track had even and compromised sleeper spacings. Judi R posted: 26 Sep 2018 09:05 from: Hayfield Judi R I am no expert but I assume there are several styles ot sleeper spacing and numbers of sleepers. The track base has gone with a 24 sleeper 60' length. Each sprue has 12 sleepers, the first being 12" the rest 10". The gap between the first 12" sleeper and the 10" sleeper is less than the gap between the 10" sleepers. Two sprues back to back make up the panel. posted: 26 Sep 2018 09:23 from: Martin Wynne ...

... letting their specialty products die. I'm also excited about the 3D printing conversations taking place. I have been 3D printing and investment casting couplers for about 15 years. I have often wished I could design trackwork in something like Templot and then 3D print it. I think technology is finally to the point where that is practical.

It is great with US stock to be able to use coupling systems that are both visually correct and capable of proper hands off auto-coupling. On the british side you have to make a choice between the two- scale links for best effect or one of the auto designs for hands off operation. Hope you enjoy your Templot adventure.

... topic: 3314 Printing problem with background shapes posted: 6 Aug 2018 12:16 from: wcampbell23 Hi everyone I am looking for help with a problem that has recently appeared with printing background shapes. I usually import a jpg file containing the baseboard outlines for a project as a background shape and print this with the track templates. Recently the background shapes have not been printing. I have not consciously changed any of the settings I normally use. Can anyone suggest what I may have inadvertently changed? Thanks. Bill Campbell. posted: 6 Aug 2018 12:44 from: Martin Wynne Hi Bill, Does it show on the screen? In order to print background picture shapes, you need to select this option on the pages dialog: 2_060731_230000000.png But it can be problematic on some printers/systems because of the very large degree of magnification required. If the image contains only the baseboard outlines, using a picture shape is a bit of an overkill. You can create rectangular outlines using the background> add a quick baseboard outline> other sizes ...

Martin, Hijacking David's thread I just checked some of my RTR O gauge stock from the likes of Heljan and Dapol( Terrier, Jinty, Pannier and 05/08 diesels). The back-to-back measurements on these locos range from 28.7 to 29.1mm which would be an issue on O-SF track but should be fine on O-MF. The wheels also appear to be more 'rounded' in the area where the flange meets the tyre of the wheel( bigger root radius if that is the correct description?) Glad I stuck with the wider flangeways Rob posted: 2 Jun 2018 00:00 from: Martin Wynne p.s. David, You will see ...

The file will be a lot smaller than JPG, and the image will be cleaner. For your timbering, twist them a fraction into line: 2_101313_400000000.png You can always do that provided you are still picking up the positions within an inch or so for the special crossing chairs. They are not too long to be single long timbers, but if your stingy railway company won't pay, I suggest making half-spliced and bolted joints as above, staggered well away from the chairs. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Mar 2018 18:46 from: DerekStuart What ...

355. Map and baseboard
... i48 instead of 1219.2 mm. Hi Malcolm, Welcome to Templot Club. There are no specific functions to create L shapes in Templot. But as Jim says you can build up an L or U shape by overlapping two rectangles like this: 2_070849_190000001.png The easy way to create such rectangular baseboard outlines is to use the quick baseboard functions here: 2_070849_180000000.png If none of the pre-set sizes match your requirements, you can enter your own dimensions in mm or feet or inches. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Feb 2018 05:25 from: Malcolm Sayer Thanks guys.

... could do the job though as I was self taught. Not sure you could do that today. The information about non standard turnouts such as a B-12 is covered in the BRT handbook, which kind of proves my point. I don't know the book inside out, I just refer to the relevant section when needed. Most of the second half of the book (the maths bit) was rendered redundant by Templot anyway, but still gives a good grounding.
