... topic: 3019 Small Great Eastern Layout posted: 3 May 2017 10:28 from: Josh C Good Morning All, I thought I would share with you a little project I have been scheming for a while behind the scenes. Some of you may have seen my recent thread in regards to a larger 7mm layout I am working on with a friend, but I am also working on a smaller project that I could set up within the size limitations I have at home (8ft x 2ft 6). I have frequently been playing around with this plan and I think I am nearly in a position to start printing it out and perhaps having a go at building it. However, over the last couple of days I have had some concern over the 3 way tandem turnout and whether or not the switches were to close. I have therefore made two plans, one with a more relaxed turnout where the switch are close, possibly too close and another with a less generous radius turnout but the switches are further away. I have tried to ...
... laughed at as a serious suggestion, but it actually worked very well. And for items such as a cattle dock or engine shed, it had the advantage that they moved with the track if it was modified or repositioned. Using dummy templates for curved baseboard edges is an established method, and there is even an option to display them in the same style as the background shapes: 2_130853_390000000.png which can get confusing if you forget that they are not actually in the BGS file. p.s. Templot works to 80-bit (10-byte) extended precision for the track design. That's how straight track can be represented as a radius of 62 miles (in the model) and still work in the curve calculations. The sketchboard engine uses 32-bit precision. cheers, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2018 22:28 from: Tony W Tony W wrote: Hi Martin.

423. Double Crossing
... topic: 761 Double Crossing posted: 10 Mar 2009 02:44 from: Stuart Mitchell HI.. I'm need to build a double crossing for an up and coming project. The main problem is setting the crossing as the track centers are only 50 mm apart. Can anyone help. Thanks posted: 10 Mar 2009 06:15 from: Martin Wynne Stuart Mitchell wrote: I'm need to build a double crossing for an up and coming project. The main problem is setting the crossing as the track centers are only 50 mm apart. Hi Stuart, Can you explain what you mean by a double crossing? A scissors crossover perhaps? And in what scale and gauge? For a scissors crossover, there are some notes in this topic: topic 465- message 3681 regards, Martin. posted: 10 Mar 2009 08:14 from: Stuart Mitchell Martin Wynne wrote: Stuart Mitchell wrote: I'm need to build a double crossing for an up and coming project.

... topic: 3260 Total timbering lengths on trackplan posted: 19 Apr 2018 22:18 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, The Storage box facility to add up the total length of timbering on all or some background templates is very useful. You can group some templates( say the ones containing only plain track) to sum the sleeper lengths but templates that have S&C work inserted are mixed between two widths- such as 3.3mm/10" and 4mm/12" on an EM or P4 plan. Would it be possible in a future update( ie not now or this week/month but when you have the inclination) to show the total lengths of plain track and turnout timbering as two figures rather than rolling them into one. This would help me( and others?) in checking that sufficient materials are to hand before building comences. I realise that some scale/gauge layouts may have odd timber widths or combinations but I suspect the vast majority of plans drawn using Templot have either one width throughout or a standard plain track ...
... most line entering the fiddle yard leads to an imaginery off scene goods yard and loco shed. The outer most line leads to an imaginery off scene harbour. There have been some slight changes made to the original design, timbers have been shoved and check rails adjusted. Working from what few pictures I have, and with a bit of artistic licence, I have tried to create N.B. interlaced sleepers. I would be grateful for any comments- good or bad.

... . Just to repeat, this is a change by Microsoft in Windows10, I haven't changed anything in Templot. You may find similar nuisances in other software. *a dialog showing modal means Templot can't continue until it gets an answer to the question, so you must respond to the dialog before you can click anywhere else or do anything else.

429. Problem with 225b
... topic: 3572 Problem with 225b posted: 10 Dec 2019 17:39 from: stuart1600 I seem to have a problem when I download the latest version of Templot. It downloads OK and works fine, as does everything else on my PC (Windows 7); but when I try to switch the computer on next time the OS hangs up. I have to go into Safe Mode and then do a recovery to the point before I downloaded Templot 225b. I can't recall ever having a problem of this type before, and if I stick with 225a there is no problem. In truth this is not a big issue- for the moment I can stick to 225a, and in January I'll be getting a new PC(Windows 10 obviously) and will download Templot directly to that and hope that that is OK. But I thought I ought to flag this up in case there is an issue that needs attention; although as nobody else has raised this it does look like some peculiarity with my PC. But puzzling that it has never ...
... It also reminded me just how awful mice really are I've just discovered that the right-click button on the pen allows dragging without worrying about whether or not there's a template under the cursor- that's useful to know and saves double-tapping! Edit:- forget the above paragraph- it's because I was confusing the buttons on the pen! What I thought was right-clicking was the double-click button. The right-click button does just what it says.

... 2018 13:28 from: Jim Guthrie Martin, I've started getting occasional Access Violation messages on the current version. The message is "Access Violation Address 00452734 in modle 'templot_2.exe' Read of address 00000004" It seems to happen when saving templates or quitting. When saving templates the error comes up but the file is saved. It also comes up when trying to exit Templot and the application won't quit and I have to use Task Manager to end it. It doesn't happen all the time- only on occasion. Running Win 10 64 bit with all the latest updates. It's not a major problem since I don't seem to lose anything and having to quit occasionally via Task manager is the only slight hassle.

... the radius a bit tighter at 49"): 2_041411_240000000.png I moved the turntable about 2mm to the right to make it all fit. cheers, Martin. posted: 5 Feb 2018 00:28 from: John Palmer Yes, that works well to get a better flow. I have attached a further boxfile incorporating these changes and a couple more. I have upped the turntable diameter to 60', which I think was the correct size, and checked that the spur can indeed accommodate a Seven, which was 58' 10" over buffers. Unfortunately this starts to push the turntable pit too far to the north-west, so that it almost encroaches into the bund which marked the western boundary of this part of the yard. Things are made even more difficult by the fact that the exit crossover from the locomotive spur to Up Main was taken out before closure, making Down Branch the only means of access to the table, with the spur becoming a kickback off the access track from the branch having no other connections. There appears to ...
