... be able to advise. cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Mar 2018 19:23 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Good idea, I have just sent a message to Colin Craig enquiring about rail availability. I will post details if I have any further information. He sells gauges for skinny and 'scale' head widths for use on plain track giving 1in20 tilt to the rails and S&C gauges that just use the gauge face so are universal in terms of head width. Thanks Rob posted: 23 Mar 2018 07:28 from: Paul Willis Rob Manchester wrote: One other thing that came from the thread was that Peco have discontinued IL-115 Code 82 FB rail. That is a bit of a sod as it is the only FB rail with proper head width for UK 1:76 layouts. Takes us back to the various postings over the years on rail section, telephone conversations with Brian Lewis etc etc. If you know any other sources for rail with correct head width please let me know. The IL-115 ...

Something had to give, to get the 1-line toolbar within the common 1920 screen width (at the default medium program size). cheers, Martin. posted: 13 Dec 2017 18:07 from: Phil O Martin, No need to be sorry, we are very grateful for what you have given us, most of this is icing on the cake, the most important part of your brilliant programme is being able too produce flowing trackwork with custom switches and crossings inline with prototype practice anything above and beyond that is a bonus.

343. 3 Way Tandem
... to use a gaunt turnout, or an irregular half-diamond. That way the turnout radius can be adjusted independently of the crossing angle. (using SHIFT-F12 or F10 respectively) Sometimes it is easier to get the desired result with a gaunt turnout, sometimes with an irregular half-diamond. It is mainly trial and error to decide which in any given case. I will make you a bit of video shortly showing how to align the middle V-crossing. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2017 07:58 from: Alan Kettlewell Hi Martin, Many thanks for the reply and the pointers. I'll do it a few more times as each time I do it a little more of the process sinks into the little grey cell. The left turnout is part of a crossover but I'll read up on gaunt turnouts as these were not featured in the older tutorials I was following. I found the process of learning how to construct a tandem brought me on considerably in my understanding of Templot and of trackwork- if a Templot ...

... topic: 3348 Helix Exit posted: 24 Oct 2018 20:07 from: leflep I would be most grateful if anyone can help with the plan for my helix entrance/exits. I need a diamond crossing but my attempts always end up with both tracks curved, whereas I really need one straight and one curved so that both tracks exit at a tangent. Thank you in anticipation.

The result will be: 2_241540_400000000.png You now have the alignments for the diamond-crossing. Next you need to delete the underlying plain tracks and extend the two half-diamonds to replace them. Also at such a short angle you will need to tidy up the timbering in the diamond. Ask again if you need more help. cheers, Martin. posted: 24 Oct 2018 21 ...

... if you withdrew Templot if you decided to retire. As long as the forum remained intact and we were still able to access Templot, I'm sure that we could help each other and "Newbies" out, we may not necessarily use the methods that you do, but as long as we can eventually produce our required templates, that is all that is required. Obviously there would probably need some form of small subscription to maintain the web presence and server space in your absence. Phil posted: 1 May 2017 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the kind words. There is no question of withdrawing the Templot program, and I would very likely go on developing it. Perhaps with others chipping in if I make it open source and they don't need constant explanations of how it works. What I don't know the future of is the Templot Companion: http://templot.com/companion/ It's little better than just started at present, the previous version is an utter shambles and much of it out of date.

... 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 ...
... topic: 3008 Make a diamond crossing posted: 11 Apr 2017 09:55 from: Panos Tsirigotis HelloAs you can see at the attached image I have 2 tracks (with no timbers as they are on a paved area) that cross& overlap one another. What I want to do is to make a diamond crossing by these two tracks. Is there any function that merges the tracks to form the junction? Thank you in advance Attachment: attach_2404_3008_Crossing.jpg 361 posted: 11 Apr 2017 11:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Panos, Have one template as the control template and the other as the background template. Click on the background template to get its menu on the left. On that menu click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item. However, that works only where the resulting diamond-crossing is flatter than 1:1.5 angle. Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you may be looking for a much shorter crossing than that. In which case you would need to create it manually using multiple ...

Thanks. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Feb 2017 11:44 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin, Yes No Yes but hardly think I'm short of resources. I'll change the transfer mode setting and see if it re-occurs. posted: 16 Feb 2017 11:48 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Martin, I have changed the settings as you advised and it seems to work ok posted: 16 Feb 2017 12:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Godfrey, Thanks for letting me know. That setting isn't saved between sessions, so next time you re-start Templot it will be back to hi-res, and will probably work fine. It may have been a one-off glitch -- your computer may have been busy doing something else, such as an update or backup at the same time. Windows 10 can be very annoying that way, especially if it doesn't get a nice fast internet connection. The core sketchboard engine ...
... outside the licence terms. In fact I haven't used it at all, so the licence terms are academic. And I won't be, because I have now uninstalled it. 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. I wasn't in any Usenet groups, but I think I was in a Delphi users' Yahoo group. cheers, Martin. posted: 14 Mar 2020 15:07 from: DerekStuart Hello Jim/ Martin I'm not sure how they could make the connection between a search on their library and a registered copy as you don't have to log in to search- unless they're recording IP addresses, which is unlikely and in any case illegal.

... 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 don't save any groups as I'm continually selecting different parts and it's unlikely I will ever need to go back again to a group.

... is otherwise perfectly legitimate. In terms of interlocking, the home signal controlling admission to the loop over 6 points locks 3 and 8 points normal when cleared. Conversely, reversal of 3 and 8 as a pair locks that home signal so as to prevent a conflict between an approaching train and a movement into/out of the sidings. Whichever way you go about it, there's no need for the trap points 2, which, as Tony says, are rendered surplus by points 3. posted: 24 Aug 2019 08:07 from: Michael Henfrey Brilliant, Thanks guys Those detailed explanations will help me went I plan out the point rodding too.
