... of small layouts look rather pathetic, really Cheers posted: 6 Mar 2010 11:37 from: Dellboy Well spotted Paul I had not ventured into K crossing check rails but your comment instilled me to have a go and found it quite easy so the K-crossing check rails have now been shortened. Also I have revisited the scissors crossover in the Storage Turntable file and trimmed the overlength check rails I had left there. So thanks for that. Yes I have spent a fair amount of time on this, started to develope the design, initially on paper, then in Templot about a year ago. Unfortunately there are always other 'jobs' that need doing which seriously restrict the amount of time available. However time spent on planning is well worth it as it gives you the confidence in what you are going to build is going to work! In the longer term it can save considerable time (and fustration!).

... sense to me. I appreciate your information regarding Peco Code 80 rail as my local model shop, which isn't really into model rail, doesn't stock it and I had no idea it existed hence my silly question re stripping it from Peco Flextrack. I will display my lack of knowledge and say that PCB means Printed Circuit Board to me and, as this is obviously not what you are talking about, translation would be much appreciated. It is already apparent that this field of endeavour, like all in modern times, has developed its own jargon and this I will have to learn first. Is there an acronym/ jargon glossary on the net? I haven't been able to google one up. I am behind the 8 ball a bit because I also do not have a good knowledge of prototype terminology relating to points/ turnouts/ switches etc etc. This I will rectify in the next day or so. When you talk about soldering to timber you are obviously not talking about wood so I assume that the timber you mean is the material used ...
... but rather too large for whitemetal casting. Anybody any ideas please? posted: 13 Jan 2010 08:00 from: Jim Guthrie Borg-Rail wrote: Question is material? I presume that the number involved is insufficient for injection moulding but rather too large for whitemetal casting. Anybody any ideas please? The UK S scale Association has just had new plastic chairs produced to replace our old white metal castings and I think we only required about 15000 on our first order to make the unit cost acceptable and to cover the complete development cost. The major cost was the tool itself and it will be available for further runs when the cost per chair will be considerably less. If you see Trevor Nunn with his "East Lynn" layout at an exhibition near you, have a chat with him. He masterminded the S scale project and Len Newman of Exactoscale did the actual tool making. Jim.

Many thanks for all your help and feedback on Templot in the last 12 months. For various domestic reasons progress with Templot development hasn't been as great as I would have liked in 2009, but I'm hoping to get back into full swing early in the New Year.

Hi Gordon, You are trying to create an "irregular diamond" which at present is not directly supported in Templot. For a full discussion see: message 1640 The only way to do it is with multiple partial templates. Which is feasible, but a lot of work -- see the example link in the above message. However, I have a development version of Templot which can do irregular diamonds. If you attach a group .box file containing the relevant area of templates, I will create the diamond for you. I can't return it as a .box file, because your version of Templot won't be able to handle it. However, I can return it as a .bgs file which you can use instead to print the diamond templates as part of your track plan. Note to everyone -- I'm happy to do this if you require a simple plain diamond, and I ...

Attachment: attach_810_948_ole_masts_at_240ft .box 266 posted: 22 Jun 2010 18:59 from: Alan McMillan Hi I've built OHLE on a couple of layouts now and am planning more on a third. I've developed the following method for placing the masts and setting out the wiring pattern. I push ordinary dressmakers pins into the track between the rails at all the important places (toe ends of turnouts, ends of sidings etc) and then string white thread between them, placing further pins at the appropriate points on the layout to signify mast positions between those earlier fixed positions. The pins and thread can be adjusted to give the correct amount of contact wire stagger at each mast position and span midpoints. The threads at mast and portal ...

Hi Jeff, Thanks for that. The slight problem I have is that I've installed this on a stand-alone system without internet access. Hence the reason I'm stuck on 10.04LTS and can't seem to upgrade without Wine failing to install without errors. I don't want to connect this system because I keep it 100% clean for development work. I may have a rethink and put Ubuntu on one of my other systems -- I wasn't really expecting it to work as well as it is. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Mar 2012 12:15 from: Martin Wynne grahamroberts wrote: Now the slow-data-entry-in-Templot issue seems to have gone away....

I hope this is a suitable query for the Templot Club as it is not a technical question about using Templot as such. Many thanks for your indulgence.

HTH Lee posted: 26 Jun 2009 15:28 from: davelong Hi Lee The rmweb link in the quote of mine in your post links to a little bit of info about the pointwork you guys are doing on Roundtrees 2, which is where one of your guys mentions that they'll work in EM as the flange is 1mm, too big for me in P4. Unless the guys developing these crossings will do a P4 piece, the other problem I'm facing is the crossings I'll need will be a very high number model wise, I know they're wrong and I shouldn't work from them for this project but using templot standard FB templates I'm up around the 1:17 area. So if the guys who designed and cast them live in the NE then it may be a long drawn out process asking Andy for a commision? Thanks guys Last edited on 26 Jun 2009 15:29 by davelong posted: 26 ...
... the C+ L help desk for a while and listen to the questions we get asked.... But really that is a separate issue. Templot is clunky 'Bloatware'- never use one keystroke, when 6 will do. In many ways it reminds me of WordPerfect as it was in the early 80's. It would be so much easier if you could set 'set and forget' parameters- I find you use more keystrokes setting up each time, than in designing. When you consider how long you have been developing Templot it is understandable that you now 'cannot see the wood for the trees', and go haring off in divers directions- many of which, like this current alteration, are irrelevant. But really it would reward you to back off for a few months and then look at it anew. Move towards Windows, not away from it and provide proper Help- printed text is the ideal. A few months ago, somebody on the list, (I apologize for not remembering who), produced keystroke by keystroke instructions ...

I'm very happy to exchange a Templot licence for payment with everyone who approaches me in a friendly manner. But I have several times declined to supply a Templot licence to those who start off stroppy -- on the reasonable assumption that they are likely to get worse. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2009 22:59 from: its_all_downhill.. and as the owner and developer, with many happy customers myself included, it is up to Martin to sell the product how he likes, surely?

375. Partial templates
... topic: 706 Partial templates posted: 20 Jan 2009 21:57 from: George Ray After using this magnificent programme to produce the templates for my model of Horsted Keynes pre1913 I have been asked to produce some templates for the Andover Model Engineering Society of which I am a member. I am trying to develope a dual gauge turnout for the 5" and 7 1/4" gauge ground level track. I have succeding in producing many of the partial templates after viewing the dual gauge example but I am having trouble in discovering how to produce the short templates at the crossings. For example how is the template labelled BG outer- c which appears to contain a wing rail produced. I have tried to find the instructions but the size of the forum is getting so large I am not sure where to look to find what I need. One slight puzzle is that there is a template in the storage box for the curved crossover that says it is for templot 078e and later but doesn't actually appear to be used is this part of the ...
