... Templot tracks drawn in its place. Somewhere here is the germ of an idea, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Imagine capturing a background map in the same way as the NLS historic maps. But from the Templot server. And it contains not fuzzy track lines, but Templot track templates, ready to use or modify. Would that be useful? And how many Templot volunteers, working for how many years, would it take to create a reasonable coverage of the UK? But if restricted to a few selected locations, it might be possible at least to make a start? Or it might be a very silly idea. Martin. posted: 25 Jul 2020 02:29 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Interesting idea. Are you thinking it would be possible( given time) to produce Templot box files from the details of tracks contained in OSM? Are the tracks on OSM not just symbolic rather than actual layouts? Take this pic as an example: Glasgow Central approaches ..and the OSM view here Your GWR station ...

... is the word Railway. A look in my Railway library located the May 1956 Railway Modeller with that article on pages 116& 117. The number 67 top left of the first page is the issue number of that Railway Modeller (Vol 7 No.67). John S from 33820 St Ciers sur Gironde. posted: 22 Jul 2020 14:02 from: Nigel Brown The author of the article, Sir Eric Hutchison, was a well known modeller of the era and a co-founder of Merco. He wrote quite a few articles for the Railway Modeller, including one of his superb layout based on the Highland Railway main line from Blair Atholl north; it really captured the atmosphere of the line. There's a bio of him here: http://www.brightontoymuseum.co.uk/index/Category:Sir_Eric_Hutchison posted: 25 Jul 2020 05:59 from: Andrew Barrowman Martin Wynne wrote: Just doing some housekeeping on the Templot web site, and I came across this: http://templot.com/info/wooden_point_motors_1956.pdf I have no recollection of ever seeing ...

Handy tip for screen dragging with the mouse: if you use the middle button (i.e. press down on the wheel) rather than the left button, you can click anywhere on the screen to begin dragging, without accidentally selecting a template. cheers, Martin. posted: 27 Jul 2020 18:58 from: Martin Wynne Hi Graham, I have made a few changes for the next program update: 2_271347_240000000.png There is a new menu item to move the grid origin back to the default bottom-left position, but without changing the zoom level. This will often mean losing the track plan from the visible area of course. I have managed to shoehorn a new tickbox on the panning dialog, labelled sc zm (which means scale zoom). Ticking the box swaps the zoom by mouse action button from spot zoom to scale zoom. This makes up for no keyboard shortcut being available ...
... topic: 2665 New items on the sketchboard posted: 1 Apr 2015 18:31 from: Martin Wynne For the next program update I have added a few more basic shape items on the sketchboard: square, triangle, arc, ring, segment, are new: 2_011318_400000001.png These provide a bit more flexibility in creating symbols and custom combined items. For example the ring will be useful for goods line signal arms on signal box diagrams. They can all be resized, stretched and rotated as before. And can be outlines, infill, or both, in any colours you wish, with adjustable transparency. For the arc and ring, the inner radius can be set as a% of the outer radius. Setting zero for this produces a full arc sector -- useful for coloured pie diagrams. 2_011318_400000000.png In the next program update. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Apr 2015 19:50 from: Andrew Duncan Martin A couple of small questions 1.

525. NLS maps
... topic: 3233 NLS maps posted: 8 Mar 2018 12:54 from: Martin Wynne The good news is that NLS have fixed their web site, so that the keyboard arrow keys are now working again on the screenshot maps in Templot. It had been broken for a few months. The bad news is that they have changed their layer codes (again), so that the base map behind the historic map is no longer the one specified in Templot. I will update the layer codes in 219a. cheers, Martin. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

526. Problem with 225b

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. Sorry to have bothered you with what you rightly supposed had nothing to do with Templot.

... email copies of Martin's postings. This morning I received eleven emails with Martin's posting number 473. timed in here at 21:02. The emails were timed between 00:39 and 08:23. It's not a big issue, although there is a risk of me deleting good emails with the rubbish, But I wondered if anyone here might have any idea why this happens. It only seems to affect Martin's postings. Allan F posted: 1 Mar 2020 11:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Allan I posted a few days ago about some Templot emails not arriving or arriving very (days) late. I'm fairly sure there's something not right about the forum emails at the moment. With missing emails it's a bit tricky to see what's happened because I don't have them! I'm still missing some Templot emails, so now it seems they arrive either on time or not at all. Maybe you're getting extras to make up for my missing ones!

Hi Simon, As every software developer knows, you tamper with established keyboard shortcuts at your peril. A few points: 1. no actual functionality has been removed. You can still rotate a group 180 degrees via the menu. 2. there is still keyboard access if needed via the menu accelerator keys. In this case: a. press and release ALT, press U, press 1. You don't need to remember these because they are shown underlined on the menu*. or b. press and release ALT, right-arrow key along to the group menu, down-arrow key down to the rotate group 180 ...

The spring gauge that Andy suggested sound interesting, have to have a think about that option. I guess the gauge face and spring mechanism would both have to sit fairly deeply onto the rail rather than just holding onto the rail head. I had some P4 gauges a while back( think they may have been either Exactoscale or possibly K&L) that were made with an aluminium ...
... here rather than normal curved stockrails? I am pretty sure that this could be replicated by using a 3 foot ruling radius on both sides. At this stage I only need/want to worry about the BG lines. The NG ones all pretty make look after themselves. I have looked through my BGS fact sheets on trackwork etc. but it largely focuses on baulk road. Pictures rarely show mixed gauge 3 ways and I certainly can't find anything that suggesting an interlaced diverging road. Dropping below 3' radius also creates a few problems in construction as space becomes very limited in 2mm as crossing angles get shallower. So after all of that rambling the real questions are: (a) Is there likely to be a ruling crossing angle that all of these 3 ways will abide by? If so then obviously I can jig build but the plan suggests different radii on some lines. That may be down to the draughting rather than a reflection of reality?? (b) Is there likely to be a 'typical' candidate? 1:5 / ...
... Jan 2019 00:58 from: Rob Manchester Hello all, After the announcement that the EMGS are offering RTR EM gauge plain track and turnouts is there any scope for developments similar to that offered for a long time by Tillig in Germany. As well as RTR turnouts they produce turnout kits in HO and TT gauge that are made with flexible moulded bases which give some scope for 'bending' the design to fit within a trackplan or produce more prototypical formations. 2001_181949_260000000.jpg The above is an example. I have a catalogue from a few years ago and the instructions mention bending the base and heating with hot air to keep it in place while the rails are threaded Not sure how practicable this would be for EM turnout production. The bases are injection moulded but if a sufficiently flexible material could be found they may be suitable for 3D printing Rob posted: 19 Jan 2019 08:45 from: Andrew Duncan Hello Rob Do the Tillig ones really work is my first thought? Have you used them yourself? Interesting idea as it would be really nice to be ...

... topic: 3144 Timber spacing for turnouts posted: 2 Dec 2017 20:01 from: Z Gauge Tim Hello Martin, My name is Tim. I asked you about changing timber spacing for Z gauge turnouts on rmweb forum a few months ago. Unfortuntely I wasn't able to to figure out how to do it. I am not a native speaker and it's hard to understand what various menus actually mean. Could you please tell, which menu and which option should I choose to change timber spacing to 1.4 millimiters between edges?

... toolbar is disregarded in the zoom calculations. The overall track plan size is calculated and then increased by 15% to allow for some margin space, and then fitted to the full trackpad client area. How close this comes to the top of the screen depends on the relative aspect ratios of the track plan and the screen area. Often track plans are wide and narrow on the screen, so that there is clear space top and bottom. None of this has changed in 18 years, while the toolbar has increased from a few buttons in the top corner to now two full rows of buttons. I can see that there could be potential issues now with the deeper toolbar obscuring part of the plan, even though on widescreen monitors it occupies only about half of the screen width. So I will look at this for the next program update. Thanks again. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Nov 2017 22:48 from: dave turner Perhaps someone running Templot 2.16b on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) under Wine could see if they have the same ...
... image. Hi Matt, Glad it worked. Those squared lines are just the background pattern on the NSL page, they don't have any dimensional meaning. How long did you wait for the map image to appear? The Windows embedded browser is noticeably slower than modern browsers. If you can see the NSL background you have established a good connection to the NSL web site (the tricky bit). Waiting for the map is then the easy bit, but it could take quite a while. If it hasn't appeared after a few minutes, it would be worth refreshing the page -- click on the web page and then press CTRL+ F5 on the keyboard. Or alternatively try again later. I will add a note about this to the notes. cheers, Martin. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... Hi Dave, Thanks for your suggestions. For me and many others, double-click is deprecated because it is the main cause of RSI. However, you can already do single-click to make the control: On the program panel dialog window, program> click-mode options> make-on-click mode. The top toolbar turns orange as a reminder that you are in this mode. Right-click on a template for its full menu. If you like it, you will be one of the few users who do. Best of luck when you come to overlaying partial templates. (b) potential for a context sensitive right click menu, with common functions that apply to the template so selected( for example if there is a turnout, that various adjustment options for turnouts would appear i the right click menu) Almost everything applies to turnout templates. The right-click menu would be yards long, or have just as many sub-menus as the top menu. (c)... means removing my ...
