Hi Alan, Apologies for not responding sooner, but have not had may PC on for the last 3 to 4 weeks, due to family matters. By all means share the Cowans Sheldon data with however you like, that's the reason I posted it. A few words of advice though, since I published it, I have been in touch with the Cumbria County Council Archive department, and actually bought copies of some of the drawings which are very good quality. The archivist there has recently informed me that they are know making a concerted effort to catalogue properly all the drawings they have. In doing so, they have discovered that some drawing numbers are missing, however this does not necessarily mean they are not there, just that they were not in the expected place. I shall ...
... a shock -- over 300 MB! I'm not too sure why it's so much bigger than the Templot videos, but I think the textured surfaces are the problem. That's why the above images are in .jpg fromat instead of the usual .png for screenshots. Also Sketchup produces a blank screen in the Camtasia recorder with graphics hardware acceleration turned off (the usual setting). Recording with acceleration on produces a jerky playback which is difficult to edit, but I had no choice. So I trimmed the video down to just a few seconds worth, but it is still 10MB. Here's the video anyway for those thinking of trying Sketchup (Flash format): video: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/fun_stuff/beam_ends_skp.swf Sketchup looks to be a great way to visualize Templot designs, and it's free! There's a problem with the track colouring which I need to investigate, and so far I haven't found the lighting controls. Anyone? Sketchup doesn't compare with proper 3D CAD like this from TurboCad (which definitely isn't free): hopton_clee_tc8.jpg ...
... 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 ...
444. 3D printing
... topic: 1572 3D printing posted: 23 Jul 2011 01:51 from: Martin Wynne 3D printing has made great strides in the last few years. But a spanner (wrench) strong enough to use straight off the printer takes some believing: http://youtu.be/jQ-aWFYT_SU Martin. Last edited on 2 Nov 2011 00:38 by Martin Wynne posted: 23 Jul 2011 19:50 from: Rob Manchester Martin, Brilliant. That is Peco and Exactoscale out of business! We just use Templot to make the required design and print it straight onto the baseboards. Not sure if the trains would run on the 'resin' rails? Come to think of it that could also be the end of loco kits and everything else we ever used on our models. Just stick a scanner in the car, scan what you like down the Severn Valley and print it out to whatever scale when you get home....

... . I have no need to print the complete layout, but find when I'm working in sections, I run off the end as it were and have to reset the page origin to cover the top end of the layout. Not a problem other than the page identification letters are now different and the only way to line it up is using the track itself. Not a major issue, but wondered if there is a way round it I'm not aware of. No need to do anything as I can cope with the odd few times it happens, but wondered if there is a solution.

446. Ordinary Crossover
... why the spacings dialog comes up when you use them. In practice it is most often the TS spacing which needs setting. The MS spacing applies only when making double-track for loops and sidings alongside running lines. Strictly speaking the MS spacing in the UK should default to 10ft-way for that purpose. i.e. in 4mm/ft scale that would be 60.67mm centres (182") instead of 44.67mm TS centres (134") for 6ft-way. However when I did that it caused much confusion because few modellers have space for the full spacings, or know about the prototype requirements. So by default MS and TS start off the same. Those who know what they are doing can then widen MS as needed for loops and sidings. The prototype allows 9ft-way instead of 10ft-way alongside running lines where space constraints make it unavoidable, for example between platforms or bridge parapets. (For those with space for 4-track main lines, the 10ft-way MS would also apply in the centre between the 2 ...
... lines show the rail-shape before work starts: 100_090834_280000000.gif 1. File the back of the rail until the web is just broken into. The prototype only reduces the end of the web by a sixteenth of an inch so don't go too mad! However, the web of most model rail is overscale so you may wish to reduce it's thickness to a scale eleven-sixteenths of an inch to avoid the switch looking too "chunky". It is essential to be as accurate as possible with the planing length as a few thou can make a lot of difference to the switch angle. 100_090834_570000000.gif 2. Put a set (that's a bend to you and me) in the rail at the planing length so that the end of the rail is aligned where the running face was (the picture should make this clearer). This location of this set is important since this affects the switch angle. 100_090835_180000000.gif 3. Plane the front of the rails at angle to suit the wheel-flanges. This planing should be to the full flange-depth ...

... ?swell_function_ctrl_f10.htm I don't make changes to the shortcuts lightly, but this one was forced by the introduction of the irregular diamonds. 1. Put the notch on the rail intersection for the middle vee in the usual way. I intentionally wrote that way to deter beginners from trying 3-way tandem turnouts until they are well-versed in Templot. Tandem turnouts are not simple -- it really would be better to leave them until later. At the very least please try a single slip first. If you watch the first few minutes of the transition-diamond video you will see how to put the fixing peg on a rail intersection. The video is at help> watch a video> Scruff Video Andrew transition diamond menu item. Note that for the tandem you need the peg on the rail-edge, not the track centre-line -- geometry> peg on line or rail> menu options.

... topic: 3582 Flat bottom turnout geometry posted: 18 Dec 2019 14:37 from: DerekStuart Hello all after a long break, I've come back- a few hours with Templot last night and 90% of it has come back to me. I've found a nice little project, but it has flat bottom rail/ turnouts. I remember reading Martin's comments that the geometry is different (to me it looks the same, but I would like to get it right). NB this area was relaid early/mid 1970s and I know FB has changed since then. Could anyone kindly point me to any information online? I don't want to ask anyone to repeat what has undoubtedly already been written, but my searches have come to nought. Also, does anyone have any experience with the Peco Pandrol clips? I know they're overscale and in any case not exactly what was there at the time, but close enough. Many thanks for any suggestions. Perhaps I need to take lessons in search engines.

I checked the update history for Windows and sure enough there were some 'failed' updates. I eventually managed to get them to install successfully, (one at a time!), and everything does now seem to be OK. Perhaps as well that I'm getting the new PC in a few weeks.

... tired to keep dealing with the endless user support that would throw up. I used a similar system for the old Camtasia executable AVI videos, but web security has tightened up a lot since then. The only practical way is to include the executable player as part of the Templot installation as we are doing. It then inherits the permissions from Templot, and the FBR video files are non-executable and can be distributed separately easily. However, the latest Templot videos are the recorded extracts from the live session I did a few weeks ago. Those don't have any significant interactive content. So they could be downloaded or streamed as ordinary MP4 files on any device. But without interactive content I don't know how to link them back to the relevant pages of the Companion, to replace the detailed text explanations as in the interactive videos. I'm in two minds about the best way forward. What I do know is that supporting Templot is a major pain compared with the enjoyment I get from working on the program code and developing new features. cheers, ...
... terminology. A turnout (switch) is supported by timbers and plain rail by sleepers (ties). Chairs hold bullhead rail, which are bolted or screwed to the sleepers or timbers, base plates do the same for flat bottom rail. How come you can't use wood? do you not have timber (lumber) preservative in the US, over here we used to have proper creosote, but now we have a myriad of not so effective wood preservatives, which applied on a regular basis tends to work for a good few years.
