Hi Richard, Well you have set a warning level at 72" radius, which many would regard as the sensible minimum for main-line 0 Gauge. So you need to adjust the turnout size (using F5) until the warning stops flashing red. A B-7.5 in that position gets you to 72.1". There are a few further changes you can make to maybe increase the radius by an inch or two -- changing to a generic type of V-crossing for example gets you to 78.4" with a B-7.5, or lets you revert back to B-7.25. In some places you are using machined check flares, which suggests you are intending these to be flat-bottom? In which case you shouldn't be using the REA bullhead switches for those turnouts.

... - changing the hand makes a mirror image of the template. If the curved template is part of a track plan, this will obviously destroy the alignment. template> invert handing, or CTRL+ X, maintains the alignment in the track plan, but swaps the divergence to the opposite side. For a plain track template there is no visible change, but the MS and TS sides swap over. The best way to understand the difference is to try it. Start with a curved turnout. Dab CTRL+ H a few times. Then dab CTRL+ X a few times. It soon becomes clear: handing.png regards, Martin. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

343. 0 Gauge Turntable
... 14:22 from: John Shelley OK for me. Martin has said before that if you are having problems viewing a video that starts and stops then let it run through to the end and review. As it is now cached in your computer it should run smoothly. Cheers for now, John from 33820 St Ciers sur Gironde, France posted: 10 Jun 2015 15:30 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stephen, Looking good. I think most of the hesitation is camera shake, but I think I can see a few dropped frames. This is probably caused by not using the recommended 30 frames per second for YouTube when recording the video. The YouTube web site says: Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable. When viewed here on Templot Club at present videos are in Flash format. When viewed on the YouTube site it is probably in HTML5 format, depending on your device. You can see which format by right-clicking on the video. Depending on your system, you may ...
344. Construction methods
... Itemid=51) and Exactoscale( http://www.exactoscale.co.uk/4mmtrack.html) both do components to build your own track by sliding the chairs on to the rail or for some of the more complex special chairs for S& C work, you may need to cut them up to fabricate your own. The chairs are usually glued using solvent using either ply or plastic timbering. The chairs can be eased off using a sharp scalpel blade if you get it wrong, If it is your first attempt, do expect the first few to end up in bin or at the very least in the fiddleyard.

345. Templot won't quit
... Then with further Enters in the message stream, each instance tries to connect to the internet at the same time. The result is chaos. (The multiple instances warning wasn't working in 205b.) I have made some changes in the new 205c version which mean it should be safe to hold down the Enter key once the GO buttons are showing. But there is not much I can do about matters before that stage. Can I suggest that you wait a second or two before hitting Enter? Indeed there are now so few startup dialogs that you could press Enter separately for each one rather than holding the key down. How fast is your system? On my development system (Windows 7) the initialization splash lasts less than a half a second, and I have to be very quick to get the Enter key down before it has finished and the GO buttons are showing. My old WinXP system is slower, but still less than a couple of seconds. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Jun 2012 18:15 from: Paul Boyd ...

... station down one side of the room, long enough for full length train formations and a multitrack fiddle yard on the other long wall of the room creating a large 'roundy roundy'. Eventually the short wall opposite to the door will hopefully become a fair sized MPD with the main running tracks under, accessed by a rising gradient behind the station. My plan is to learn to hand build the turnouts on the station board and use peco for the fiddle yard. I am starting track planning now so I can spend the next few months learning to build trackwork and then when the trackplan is completed hopefully produce some turnouts to put in store for the actual build. For the plain track; I am currently leaning towards DCC Concepts 'Legacy' flexi-track. I have spent much of Christmas on the steep learning curve for Templot and have created my first track plan( attached). I know that it is far from perfect having used some crude techniques to fit it together which hopefully can be improved on as my understanding of this fairly complex program increases ...

... reduce costs go for spongeless refillable ink cartridges (available from various suppliers on Ebay) and bottled ink from http://www.consumablecafe.co.uk/. Their ink is pigment, not dye, based and in my experience is actually better than Epson's own. I have also noticed that this ink doesn't clog in the print head so readily meaning the machine won't run cleaning cycles anywhere near as often, which is wasteful of ink. If I refill my Stylus Photo R800 with Epson cartridges, it costs £132 and they only last a few months. On top of that the onboard chips will stop the cartridges from working when they're only half empty. This is a major rip-off. You can get chip resetters but it's a pain as the software then thinks the cartridge is full again.This gives a false ink reading meaning the print quality can drop sharply when a cartridge really is almost empty but the offending one isn't always obvious. Refillables with auto reset chips on the other hand, together with bottled ink, costs £60 and there's enough of it to ...
... Wynne Hi Paul, We are currently on 2 blacklists (out of over 100 such lists). See: http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3a85a.co.uk&run=toolpage Using shared hosting it is impossible to stay off every single blacklist for long. Some other customer of Jim's on the same mail server has been sending out spam, or what is deemed to be spam, and all the others on the same mail server suffer as a result. What usually happens is that it clears after a few days, and then a few days later we find that we are on some other blacklist. The only solution would be our own dedicated server. Of course that is extremely expensive and out of the question now that Templot is free to use. What I can do if it's a problem and you use POP3 email is to give you your own mailbox on 85a.co.uk You would need to add an additional account to your email client. Also I can't offer much mailbox space, say 25MB, so you would need to use ...

It is based upon Shepperton for the track plan. Only one (lower) platform will be used, and the bay is for parcels/goods only so would be fenced off. It is to be set in 1959-62. I *think* I've gotten the double slip right after quite a few tries, but not 100% sure. I haven't been able to get PR472 (the right most curving line) to line up with DL464 (the slip).

... track laying... 1137_150032_560000000.jpg Last edited on 15 May 2017 05:59 by Rick posted: 15 May 2017 12:24 from: Nigel Brown Hi Rick Thanks for the reply. I'll ditch the foamboard idea! I used cork on top of ply on my one-time American HO layout and found it quite loud, although I was using PVA and it's possible a more flexible glue would have been quieter. Currently I'm using MDF on a framework of 6mm 4" deep ply sides and 12mm ends, with a few 6mm cross-pieces, just tacked and glued around the edges, with the track laid directly on the MDF, using matte medium to fix track and ballast. It's possible that the framework I'm using means the MDF acts like a drum. I've had a look at Woodland scenics track underlay but reckon it's not firm enough for handlaid track.

... for your suggestions. I have a friend in Australia who has an O gauge garden railway subject to temperature variations more extreme than our own. He has used impact adhesive to glue the plastic sleepers to the baseboard (waterproof tiling panels) which is then subsequent ballasted. The support structure is made from galvanised steel battens used in dry lined stud walls (readily available from Wickes). The completed baseboards are then mounted on steel fencing posts. We are in frequent contact and he assures me has had no problems over the past few years. I suppose if the plastic sleepers are well fixed and the rails are adequately gapped then all should be well. The problem for me is my concern in fixing the Templot drawing to the baseboard with a strong adhesive that does not affect the paper. The idea of using yacht varnish to seal the paper sounds good. But will the plastic track base adhere to the varnished paper. I think I will try a small test section to see if this system will work. I would never attempt to build track outdoors ...

Which means it now contains far too many changes and new features, all of which need finishing and testing before I can release it. They will also need several pages of explanation and release notes to be written, which makes my heart sink. Especially as I still haven't done any for the previous few updates.
