I was about to ask if you could remember the last thing you clicked or pressed before making the screenshot. I was equally puzzled how you managed to make a post without any text content, because that is not possible within the forum software. Looking at the screenshot, the background shapes dialog is showing 10 shapes, but the list is empty. Clearly something odd is going on. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Jan 2018 16:09 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, The post that appears to be blank contained a few hundred word description of the events leading up to the crash and a pasted screenshot( the same as the attachment).

... topic: 3163 Single Slips- straight and curved roads posted: 28 Dec 2017 10:10 from: Philip Griffiths Hello, I'm trying to create the track plan for Ebbw Vale HL station. Pictures can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan_lord/sets/72157628510926699 The second picture down shows the station in Victorian times. There are others but this shows the single slip that gave access from the running lines to the goods shed. One line is straight but the other from the siding that parallels the platform is curved so that it joins the goods shed line, which then goes through an arch on the bridge. I've produced the slip as if the line siding line was straight, but do not know how to curve it. regards Philip Griffiths Attachment: attach_2603_3163_Ebbw_Vale_cut.jpe g 357 posted: 28 Dec 2017 11:48 from: Martin Wynne Hello Philip, Welcome to Templot Club.

... I find the options to adjust check rails and shove timbers, but cannot find how to adjust or omit the heel and switch of an overlapped template and retain the frog and check rails. Can any one help to find these tools and options? I have gone through my old notes (version 2.11) but many of the references and sub menus seem to have moved or changed. Just to add to my confusion I no longer run Templot in emulation on a Mac, but have it installed on a much faster HP windows 10 laptop --- so now all my errors and fails happen a lot quicker!

445. top toolbars
... topic: 3151 top toolbars posted: 10 Dec 2017 19:06 from: Martin Wynne I don't know about you, but I've been finding the second row of top buttons visually uncomfortable. It may just be the result of years of use without them, but for me they form a visual barrier to finding the required button on the top row. I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps it would be better to have the two rows swapped over? In the meantime there is a change in the next program update. If your screen is wide enough, the second row will move to top right, and the gauge indicator will move to the left: 2_101350_220000000.png If the screen isn't wide enough for that (less than 1860 wide at the medium program size), there is no change to the present arrangement. edit: see: topic 3151- message 23084 This will be experimental to see how it works. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2017 20:38 from: Alan Kettlewell I've found them handy so far ...

Any tips or alterations I'd love to hear your views. nb the open point at the top of the plan is like that intentionally as it will lead to a lower level fiddle yard. Kind regards Dave Long http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/files/Proof%20Housed%20Junc/ posted: 5 Dec 2007 10:39 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Thanks for posting your plans. You've made some rapid progress there! I noticed that in a few places you have made diamond-crossings where the crossing angle differs between the two half-diamonds. That will produce a dog-leg in the diagonal road through the K-crossings. Getting diamonds to run nicely is always tricky in 00, so it's best to keep the same angle both ends. That's easy to do -- starting with one of the half- ...
... combined approach looks very promising time wise. Once again thanks for your input Derek posted: 12 Mar 2010 00:52 from: allanferguson One thing that occurred to me later is that, using the normal gauges, there are locations where they don't fit. I've found it useful to set a calliper gauge to the track gauge, and use this to check the gauge at complex locations. Functional chairs can make it difficult to get the usual sort of gauge to "sit" properly.

450. Track bed Width
... I have to play with when using screws to secure the trackbed to the riser. I also use the additional width of the trackbed as a support structure where you have tracks at different levels and may use retaining walls or a scenic cutting between the two levels. Changing the width of the trackbed means more thought has to go into how scenic elements are supported. As I said, I do have a work round, but it would be a 'nice to have option' from a woodworking perspective. posted: 24 Feb 2017 10:00 from: Jubilee42 Hi Martin in the very useful video you stuck on Gordons ET blog several years ago http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/3422-eastwood-town-a -fresh-start/page-2 you showed how to do this, but I can't find the feature in 2.14a.

About 4 weeks ago I had a "Eureka" moment I found; P, Peg/Align Tools> B, snap the control template onto background template>.... It is so useful, I wonder why it took so long to find.

... handle what ordinarily would be MS' user support burden, and because the training side (the MS certified employee stuff) is highly lucrative to them. The virus point is moot. It's not worth writing viruses for minority systems, the virus would not spread as fast. If Linux or Mac OS X ever became dominant to the extent that windoze did you would see an equal problem with them, writing a virus for either OS flavour is pointless since a small minority os users have those OS flavours installed.

... topic: 3508 S1J joint rail chairs posted: 24 Sep 2019 19:13 from: Hayfield Please can anyone tell me how common was the use of these chairs (S1J joint rail chairs) on the railways please posted: 24 Sep 2019 19:18 from: Rob Manchester John, My understanding is that S1J chairs were used on 12" joint timbers at the ends of each track panel. The S1J is 10" wide rather than the 8" of the standard S1. Rob posted: 24 Sep 2019 20:25 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, The use of the heavier joint chairs on wider 12" sleepers adjacent to the rail joints at each end of a track panel was common practice in the pre-group period (pre 1921). They were often used in conjunction with shorter 9" 2-hole fishplates so that the joint sleepers could be very close together, typically at 15" centres with only a 3" gap between them. The theory being that strength in the rail support was more important than strength ...

The pointwork is a mixture of B6.5s and B7.5s and the tightest radii is iirc 45.7" with the highest coming in around the 85" mark. The tight knitting of the points in the sidings was only possible with handbuilt track, and doesn't actually take up that much room, which is perfect.
