461. Web design blues
... design, you know the sort of thing -- something that says it was created by someone with a bit more visual sense than this oily-fingered engineer. At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I like the Templot web site as it is. I don't really see that there is much to be gained by making it more 'stylish'. It conveys the information it needs to in a way that I find easy to find my way around. Thats all the 'style' I need.

You may find the following pictures of interest. They show the switch blades of a 3 throw turnout at Butterley at the Midland Railway Centre.

... topic: 515 Warning -- SVR SignalBox data files posted: 5 Aug 2008 18:49 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, When I first developed the Windows version of Templot 10 years ago, I searched quite hard for other users of the .box file extension. The only one I could find was an obscure preferences file for something called Lotus Notes, which is or was "an integrated desktop client option for accessing business e-mail, calendars and applications on an IBM Lotus Domino server". Which isn't something likely to be found on a home computer, so I thought it safe to adopt the .box extension for Templot's storage box data files. But it seems that the SVR's SignalBox simulator program is also using the .box extension for its parameter files. I don't know why my searching didn't find that, perhaps SignalBox is a more recent program. It's unfortunate to say the least -- two railway-hobby applications using the same file extension. During installation of Templot there is an option to associate .box files with Templot, and it's ...
... 27 Sep 2015 08:24 from: Hayfield If you look back at track products from the early 50's, 00 gauge systems were closer to 4 mm scale, than now which is closer to 3.5 mm scale. Peco spiked track, GEM, Formway and ABC. Somehow 00 track merged with H0, a totally backward step The other item to consider is the finer standards that loco's and stock is now built to, allowing in some cases for the wheels to be re-set to EM gauge posted: 29 Sep 2015 10:28 from: Jim S-W Martin Wynne wrote: madscientist wrote: Sorry you are suggesting it's not possible to produce H0 models of British locomotives !! !!

467. Y turnouts
... . Here's a run through, with the latest changes. Refer to the tutorial for more detail. 1. The dummy centre-line template can be positioned using the F7 snapping function, there is no need to use the peg and notch directly. Likewise the initial straight LH turnout template. 2. For turnouts up to 1:7 change to a 9ft straight switch. For over 1:7 and up to 1:8 change to a 12ft straight switch. For over 1:8 and up to 1:10 change to a 15ft straight switch. (template> switch options... menu item.) 3. Change to a curviform type of V-crossing. (template> V-crossing options... menu item.) 4. Click do> parking bay> park template menu item. This template will be retrieved later to form the separate switch front section. 5. Click geometry> peg positions> peg on switch heel menu item. It's important to do this while the turnout is still straight and ...
... an irregular half-diamond template instead of a turnout template? That such a Y-turnout is entirely different from an ordinary turnout having contraflexure, which on the prototype is far more common as an apparent Y-turnout than a rare symmetrical turnout? A full explanation needs several pages of notes and diagrams. But I will now remove the original symmetrical Y-turnout tutorial dating from 2001 and make a new video. It will take me far longer to do than the actual coding change. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Mar 2017 12:39 from: Hayfield Martin This has gone completely over my head, I have been asked to make a plan to copy a Peco small Radius Y turnout.

... topic: 1268 Junction for Manchester Ship Canal sidings posted: 10 Oct 2010 00:40 from: Martin Wynne Some interesting trackwork in this pic just posted on RMweb of a sharply curved double junction. On the left the double junction has a switch-diamond because of the severity of the curve, even though the angle is probably shorter than 1:8 and would have been OK for a fixed diamond in straight track. On the right the turnout in the yard has a couple of single-blade catch points within it acting as traps, and the curve is continuously check-railed. See: image #22907 regards, Martin. posted: 10 Oct 2010 17:52 from: lippydavies Junction is actually the exit from the former Arley loco holding sidings around towards Arpley sidings.

... topic: 3478 P4 Wheels on EM-SF track posted: 10 Aug 2019 20:14 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Just had an email from a old friend I haven't spoken with for years. He is just starting to put a layout plan together after being abroad for a few years. He has a stock of kit-built EM locos with back-to-backs set around 16.6-16.7mm so looks like maybe he had my idea of using EM-SF too The problem is he has a quantity of high end unmade kits that have Ultrascale P4 wheels with them. He asked about the chances of using these on EM-SF. I reckon it could be done but he would loose the ability to run them on standard 1mm flangeway EM. Do you concur?

A further video would be very helpful to explain how to do the adjustments. I think the V crossing needs adjusting and the first stretcher bar seems to be missing although there is a thin line.

... topic: 1272 Sleepers/timbering at track panel joints posted: 15 Oct 2010 20:13 from: wcampbell23 I am trying to find out about the use of wider timbers at the joins in 60 feet standard track panels. I have recently purchased 8'6" scale ply sleepers and the packs include a proportion of 12" timbers, as well as the usual 10" sleepers, for use as end timbers. I would be grateful for any information about the use of differently sized sleepers/timbers at track joints. My own project is based on an ex-Caledonian line in the early 1950s and so any responses directly relating to Caley practice would be helpful. Thanks in anticipation.

... further screenshots as needed. 7. zoom out and use the crop/combine function to get them all into a single picture shape. 8. if necessary use the twist function to rotate it to the best screen fit. In Templot this is a very slow process and will add a lot of unwanted white space in the corners. But it will get there in the end on any reasonably specified system, and retain the correct scaling. 9. use the crop/combine function again to remove the unwanted white space. 10. if desired, copy the image out of the picture shape into your graphics editor. Change the contrast, brightness, grey scale, negative image, or whatever to make a comfortable image for working over (without changing the image size in any way). Copy and paste it back into the picture shape. 11. save the background shapes. If you can say which maps, etc., I will make some screenshots showing the above. cheers, Martin. posted: 20 May 2019 09:14 from ...
475. Templot perceptions
... : Paul Boyd Well, it's handy to know we can use it to devise pointwork geometry. Who'd have thought it? That article does suggest a convoluted way of doing things. Maybe it's just as well there won't be a rush of RM readers as otherwise you'll be bombarded with requests on how to join Peco templates together in Templot! (I'm a long-standing RM reader, having been buying it since 1981 when I was 15, so I'm not being derogatory towards their readership!). posted: 8 Sep 2020 10:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, I'm also a long-standing RM reader (although nowadays in digital form only). Please feel free to be derogatory towards me. What an inspired decision by Sydney Pritchard to buy up a model railway magazine as a marketing tool for his Peco products. Still going strong 70 years later, as all around it print magazines are dropping like flies (Bauer recently closed about a dozen titles). cheers, Martin. posted: 8 Sep 2020 14:29 from: ...

... show? It seems to me that you lose quite a lot by crossing the outer track on the flat over the inner track and then fanning out into the red loops, in terms of: a)# of loops, b) length of loops, c) conflicting movements. On the other hand, you do leave the operating characteristics of the existing FY (7 up, 7 down, 3 reversible) untouched. An alternative scheme might be to: 1. Modify Martin's plan to augment the 7 green loops with 10 more, also taken off the inner (green) main line straights. That would give you your 17 anti-clockwise (I'm not sure about which are the up/down directions) loops. 2. Have the red main line (clockwise) straights fan into two roads in order to mate with the existing FY feeds (orange and blue) and use all 17 loops of that in a clockwise direction. 3. In order to provide reversal, make the red to orange/blue fans into crossovers, facing ...
