... it's a massive task -- I suspect those who keep asking for it have no idea what they are actually requesting. Several months work at least. I purchased an XML component with the hope that it would simplify the task, but so far "simplify" isn't the word which comes to mind. Personally speaking, I have no idea why it's so important to some users. I have been using Templot in its present form for over 10 years now without feeling any great need to save preferences. It takes only a few clicks at the start of a session to set things up how you want them, and often that's not the same as you wanted them before. Perhaps it is knowing how much work it would involve that makes me happier than most to accept the status quo. My inclination is to work on new track functionality rather than saving a few clicks here or there, but I know I shall have to do something about it soon. regards, Martin. posted: 22 Dec 2008 23:56 from: Howard Martin Wynne ...
... from: Martin Wynne Yes, I know, I'm my own worst enemy. But it's near impossible to watch folks getting a bit stuck and not chip in with some help. Here's a very scruffy video. curly_corner_short.png The yellow templates represent the rest of the track plan. The starting templates are straight, but everything would work the same way if they were gently curved, to the same or differing radii. 1. Choose the radius for the finished centre curve. Here I made it 3000mm. 2. Add on a few mm for the transition offset (shift). I allowed 5mm, making 3005mm. 3. Make that the second radius of a zero-length transition and move it along into tangency with the other track. You don't have to be too fussy to get it spot on, unless it's essential that the finished curve is exactly symmetrical. (A few mm difference in the two final transition zone lengths wouldn't notice.) 4. Put the notch on the radial centre for this 3005mm curve. 5. Create your 3000mm ...
383. Long Lane
... should be fine. There is plenty of scope for shunting with the use of fiddle yards both sides. With only the track at the top right not going off stage. The canal will flow front to back under the tracks with several holes in the upper level for light to shine down to the canal level. Where the canal meets the backscene I'm planning on cutting a hole in the backscene and covering the wood cut with a pipe bridge which will enter/exit from the grass embankments at the back. There are a few scenic diagrams and a hand drawn image which may help you see the layout in better detail than just looking at the templot plan, but the templot plan is posted below for you to have a look over.

If you attach your .box file, I will have a go at that and see if it makes sense, or it's a rubbish idea. Difficult to know either way without the dimensions. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Nov 2008 02:51 from: Martin Wynne Oh dear. I warned about the grey cells failing.

... 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 it seems that I don't have to shell out for a new scanner just yet, maybe the 1670 overheard that it was to be replaced and had second thoughts about retirement. I am still puzzled by Peter C's comments about different horizontal and vertical resolutions, but may have come across a partial explanation. I was looking for information about the V550 and initially ended up in the USA site and ...

Did you mis-position the decimal point? regards, Martin. posted: 3 Oct 2008 17:37 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, Thanks for sending me the plan. I will write a few notes about it shortly. It seems to be one of those irritating drawings where the design is originally imperial but everything has been converted to odd metric sizes. Here are a few pictures of a turnout at Rhyd DDu taken in September 2006. This is modern heavy-rail narrow-gauge which bears little resemblance to the original NWNGR and WHR track of course. rhyd_ddu7.jpg rhyd_ddu6.jpg rhyd_ddu4.jpg rhyd_ddu5.jpg rhyd_ddu3.jpg rhyd_ddu2.jpg rhyd_ddu1.jpg regards, Martin.

... topic: 3604 Ventnor, I.o.W Question posted: 2 Feb 2020 00:29 from: Jim Guthrie A fellow SSMRS member has asked me about building some pointwork for a model of Ventnor, I.o.W- the tandem in the station throat and the two slips in the yard. At the moment I'm trying to identify what the slips actually were. From what few pictures I can find on the Internet, the slips look like normal slips but a BR plan of the station (attached) that I found shows the slips to be Barry slips. It appears that the track at the station was modified quite a lot over the years so it could be that the Barry slips existed at one time, to be replaced by "proper" slips at a later date. I'll also dig out my 1963 Constructors which has a series on the I.o.W railways. Jim.

389. Not quite Ogbourne
... topic: 3657 Not quite Ogbourne posted: 5 May 2020 00:38 from: Richard Brummitt I've been plodding on with this over a number of evenings and finally have something that I'm happy to share for constructive criticism. Hopefully I've attached the correct file. A few points: The real place is pretty straight through the station but to create sufficient space for the bay platform I have put in a transition curve after the curviform turnout from the mainline The yard is much shorter than in reality for the later yard with just two sidings. It is closer in length to the original yard with 3 sidings where one siding faced in the other (southerly) direction, like a headshunt?, towards the hamlet. The layout is limited to 600mm in length but the plan is more than 600mm long. The ends will protrude into the off stage area. I've left them a bit raggedy as that can be cleared up 'on-site'. The turnouts are meant to be to earlier GWR switch and crossing practice and have had adjustments made as best ...

Im stuck though i,ve been watching the tutorials& on the laying track over rough sketch tutorial when it comes to curving it is showing that a f10 on the keys is used to create a curve swelling.

... usual there's always a workaround! I noticed that when I increased the overall length the missing labels reappeared, so I guess they're following the "nothing outside the overall length" rule. I must admit that I don't often use the "Make" function and in fact had to remind myself what it does- what a useful tool! Anyway, the trick worked. What I did notice when shortening the main road was that timbers remain. Is that intentional? Mulling it over, it probably is as there have been a few cases when I've wanted to shorten the rails without changing the overall length or losing timbers. I just need to remember that that function is there! Any excess timbers can be omitted anyway. Regarding the check rails on the turnout side, from a user interface point of view I was just expecting the check rails to be able to extend as far as the visible rails. Now I know how to work around this, it isn't a big issue, but it would be nice not to have the labels disappear! Cheers ...

396. Single Slip

It is essentially a copy of print_unit with the Printer.Canvas changed to PDF.Canvas.
