... inkjet printer, A3 or larger. I've been digging around on the Net looking at possibilities and reading the reviews and I haven't really found a suitable one which has received reasonably good reviews. The best reviews seem to be for the photo print end of the market but they usually require eight or more cartridges and I only want to print text and CAD plots (Templot, ACAD LT, etc) where three colors and a good black are more than adequate. I have suffered with Epson Stylus 1500 and 1520 over the past few years so I'm well up on some of the common problems with larger format inkjets- poor paper pickup and (with the 1520) heavy ink usage- (i.e. on my usual occasional use it does the head check/clear every time I power it up which uses more ink than my printing, exacerbated by the fact that the cartridges are very small and expensive). Has anyone got any recommendations? My preference has always been for HP inkjets principally because you got a new head/jet with every cartridge, ...
362. Video of the week
... on YouTube, it went missing for a while: I will put it back as Video of the Week in due course. Martin. posted: 28 Sep 2019 20:12 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thanks for reminding me of that video, some excellent footage there. It took them a good while to get the electric trains on the East Coast route- still it allowed the Deltics a good long run before the HSTs ran up until the wires were finally up. Bearing in mind the Beeching report of a few years later the mood seemed very positive towards railways when this film was made- I guess the main lines survived mainly intact. I wnt to college in the 70's next to one of the depots that maintained the Woodhead electrics. At least the route is a nice walk now Rob posted: 29 Sep 2019 18:45 from: Andy Reichert I'd like to (selfishly) propose my evolving developments in model tram track as a candidate for "video of the week".

... makes it your new control (or current, depending on version) template. Probably the one I use the most. 'Copy to control' leaves it in both storage box and background, and makes the template your new control template. This one is a sure-fire way of getting multiple templates on top of each other if you're not careful! Hopefully understanding that will prevent multiple copies of templates floating about! I've certainly seen the "I've got lots of duplicate templates- how did that happen?" question quite a few times. posted: 14 Dec 2007 00:44 from: Martin Wynne mattots wrote: I noticed the other day when using Templot on my laptop that nearly all the other functions I regularly use have a keyboard shortcut assigned to them (which I already use) but 'Wipe to current template' does not.

... appreciated.... I'll have a play with ply sleepers later, with the chairs bonded on. However, I do prefer the strength and ease of adjustment of soldered construction I think. Thanks. Brian posted: 11 Mar 2010 18:05 from: Paul Boyd I'll have a play with ply sleepers later, with the chairs bonded on. However, I do prefer the strength and ease of adjustment of soldered construction I think. Go with that method- it works! It's sometimes a good idea to scatter a few rivets at strategic points, but plastic chairs solvent glued onto ply sleepers are very strong. It might seem contradictory, but it's also relatively easy to loosen the chairs by slipping a blade underneath if you need to make adjustments. One issue with plastic chair/ply timber construction is that unsupported track can be distorted. I now get around that by printing the templates onto thick card (Bristol Board, 250gsm) and building onto that, then the card forms the trackbed. Cheers posted: 11 Mar 2010 18:19 ...

I've converted the plan again from Scale 7 to S4-X and it's looking good on a quick glance over. I've noticed a few extra timbers have appeared (I'm guessing due to some of the templates lengthening slightly?), but they are easy-ish to spot, and even easier to clear up.

... from: kenbec Hello Martin, Before I ask the Templot question an administrative one. As I move through the Templot Companion etc. I write myself questions about things that are not clear to me. Most are answered as I progress through the notes and some are answered by searches. So far none appear to be very complex. I notice that you still appear to be carrying the load on your own so, would you prefer me to feed in the questions one at a time or store them up and send down a few at a time in one message. I know your first reaction is don't send any. Now for the Templot question. I experimented with the printer calibration, which came up spot on, and printed the B6 Turnout as a N for UK only. Visually it appears clear to me that it has been printed as a fine scale turnout. My assumption is that I will have to make minor adjustments to the track and Guard/Check rail positioning during construction to take care of the fact that I am using code 80 ...
... specification to suit 3ft including timbering sizes/ spacings etc. plus track standards, e.g. min radius plain line and switches based on type of locos and stock. Plugging that in made quite a difference. Templates look as I expected. See the club correspondence on flat bottom rail width. Martin Wynne has suggested increasing rail width to show outer base and inner head flange face. Seems like a good idea for creating point building templates but I've not tried it yet. I will publish my layout standards if you wish plus a few examples, all based on Colorado main line narrow gauge. Will your layout in the Appallacians be of logging style?

370. Paste?
... things that aren't broken, and work on the stuff that we do need (and another vote for irregular diamonds). I'd certainly find it annoying for Ctrl-X to stop being 'invert handing' and Ctrl-V being 'store& background'. I haven't really used the calculator that Ctrl-C brings up- maybe because I hadn't realised it was there, and perhaps others do use it, so I wouldn't presume to suggest that this key could be reassigned either. However... It has struck me a few times that it would be useful (to me) if there were keyboard shortcuts available for the 'copy to the control' and 'delete to the control' functions that appear on the context menu when you left-click a background template- these would appear (at least to me) to be sensible candidates for copy (Ctrl-C) and cut (Ctrl-X) for people wanting more 'Windows' application-like behaviour. Ctrl-V (paste) remaining as 'store& background' would also probably then ...

... a high frequency content- like those of women or children. For music, you do need higher settings for acceptable quality over all types of content, and 44K, 16 bit stereo is the usual minimum. That's the standard of your CD player. Professional broadcast normally works to 48K, 16 bit internally, although 24 bit is becoming more popular. Music mastering and original music recording is now working at 96K and 198K**, 24 bit. The lower sample rate and bit rates were quite common on computer games a few years ago when the programmers could not access the data off the hard disk at a greater rate because of technical limitations. I remember that my company did the sound FX for a computer game and we had to resample all our work (at 44K/16bit) down to 22K/8bit). So it's a fair bet that sound to the lower specs will still play on modern machinery. For example, the WAV file which is the Microsoft standard sound file, dates from those earlier times and the standard has the ...
373. Templot updates
... is why they weren't in earlier versions. Second, rambling explanations: a. Version 082d is available to all Templot users. Version 091b is available only to members of this Templot Club forum, on the implied understanding that you will report here any problems which arise. The reason is that the change from 082d to 091b represents a change in the compiler which I use for the Templot program code, and I need to be sure that everything is working properly before I make it a general release. Having said that, very few problems have actually arisen, and it is now nearly 12 months since the change. There are a few extra features in 091b from 082d, see this topic for chapter and verse and the download link: topic 113 b. The Templot Companion docs and especially the tutorials were written in 2001 using 074b. Which is why I recommend staying with that version while you are reading and following them. Later versions of Templot have had the menus re-arranged and other changes made. Which are easy to find your way around ...
374. Newbie - Chair Types
... want/need. I intend for one layout to consume most of my 6x5.5m "train room". The layout/s built will reside at my house here in Australia and are not intended for exhibition. Most people in Australia would not have a clue whether the track looked right for the UK. EM+ P4 are out due to rewheeling time and costs as well as not meeting the goal of allowing visiting stock. I have a very large anount of stock and other than getting rid of some plastic wheels on a few things- rewheeling is out. Cosmetic chairs sound like what I will look to do but I get back to- I would not know one from another other than plain chairs and slide chairs or where to get them. I asked about cosmetic chairs in another forum and got bah Humbug type responses. So I thought that if I new what I ws looking at then I would be part way to finding what I need.

... wrote: I take it that the B6 is wrong then! I What should it be? I know as much about the geometry thing as someone who doesn't know anything about it. 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. If you go to template> switch options... you will ...
... couple of dot matrix printers that take the old tractor fed 14.5 x 11 inch paper. He would be using the output to build track on rather than producing works of art so just basic quality should be fine. Thanks Rob posted: 24 Aug 2019 21:04 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, Templot began life driving a dot-matrix printer. It's a long time since I tried one, but all the code is still in there. Just select impact printer in the printer calibration dialog. Templot then makes a few changes to the output, such as removing all solid area infills. The important point is to have a Windows printer driver available for it. That might be a bit tricky for the latest versions of Windows. I don't think it makes much difference between 9-pin and 24-pin, the driver should take care of that. Also supplies of paper and ink ribbons could be an issue. If it's Z-fold continuous paper, select the banner printing option, and also the banner fill option. Ultimately it's ...

... : 10 Aug 2010 12:08 from: grog_polymer Thanks guys, I swapped the track segment end for end so the datum moved and now the transition works as expected thanks. Sorry for difficult to understand descriptions. I know I read somewhere not to use curviform tunouts for crossings as you would get an instantaneous change from positive to negative radius. I think it tells you when you try to do it. Imagine a loco travelling east on the loop and down to the platform. This road is curved. There is a few sleepers worth of straight track then an REA semi curved with it's regionsof straight. So we have a curved turnout road ending in about 8 or 9 sleepers of straight before another curve. So I guess the other way of looking at this is" REA Semi Curved" to "REA Semi Curved" at a crossing- ok. Curviform to Curviform at a crossing- NO Here we have the continuously curved road of the loop crossing to works turnout, followed by a speck of straight, and an REA Semi Curved branch ...

I have 3 British and two US narrow gauge settings and maybe another one or two so it would be good to have some more space.
