521. Online or offline
... topic: 2105 Online or offline posted: 8 Nov 2012 10:39 from: RT Martin, Just a comment for you. There are times when I have wanted to used Templot at a family members house, who doesnt have the internet. As i don't have a 3G dongle or anything, it means that Templot refuses to start. As another example, my ISP decided to encounter problems for the whole of last weekend, which resulted in me being unable to do anything with my layout plan because Templot could not connect to the internet. Could it be made, so that if the programme could not connect, it accepted it and started anyway? It would make it far more user-friendly... well more friendly to this user anyway! As a user, other than checking for updates, I cannot see any specific reason why Templot needs the web to run. As I said at the start, I have a family member who has a laptop but doesnt have the internet. He wants to use Templot to design his ...
... alone it is fine. The problem only shows when I either move the pointer quickly in a random fashion or if I move it very slowly across from 6ft and the crash occurs when I get around the 8ft mark. Tonights exciting system status report attached. Rob Attachment: attach_3093_3699_Crash_Tuesday_- _cpu_use.jpg 100 posted: 17 Jun 2020 00:11 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Rob. I've replaced the chunky slider with a draggable red marker: 2_161904_160000000.png That's not a Windows control, so I've been able to reduce the timer to 10 mS without the CPU usage going any higher. Which means the dragging is now as smooth as before. It's a serious bug in that it crashes Templot, so even though I haven't been able to cause it to happen here I will probably release yet another update with this fix quite soon. cheers, Martin. posted: 17 Jun 2020 00:33 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Sorry to have caused you more work but I suspect you would want it fixed ASAP once you know it is there- I ...

Simon posted: 7 Nov 2012 10:55 from: Martin Wynne Simon Dunkley wrote: What happened to the ability to shift a group onto a notch? I (used to) use this all the time. Hi Simon, That tedious 2-stage process has long since been deprecated in favour of the notch linking functions: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm#linking It must be 10 years since I last used that process myself, so I thought it was high time it was removed from the menus to avoid confusion. If you really do prefer it (anyone else?) I can reinstate it and hide it somewhere in the menus where beginners won't stumble over it. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Nov 2012 11:42 from: JFS...maybe simon gave ...

... be made to all existing background templates (not library or inactive templates) in this Storage Box? [YES] [NO]". Just a thought. Your solution to Modify Group to Match covers all possible situations. But, the user has to know it's there. As a beginner, I didn't. Btw, I built my first custom turnout designed in Templot2 over the weekend and had a ball doing it. It looks and works great. Thanks for making that possible.

... as the turnout and siding were not original, and were later removed, so don't exist on many photos of the location. I don't know in what situations centralised timbering would be prototypical- perhaps when both roads are used equally? I'm looking for an excuse to build it as it is. There will be plenty of detritus around in any case so it won't be terribly noticeable. But it's still relatively easy to start again and adjust the timbering if centralised is definitely inappropriate here. All best Julian posted: 5 Sep 2020 10:06 from: Julian Roberts Actually I think I've found the answer to the question of whether it will look OK in the situation. This photo does show more than I remembered. Hardly a pukka mainline scene! Interested to know the answers to the questions all the same!

... web it will require an internet connection. The probability is that users will have tried Templot in the interim and thus will know they need to upgrade- and hopefully re check the issue. There is another potential scenario. If something unforeseen was to happen such that the service that support such checks was terminated and perhaps permanently, then at one fell swoop the whole Templot community loses it's favourite tool. Rather than enduring as a legacy to your undoubted skills and all the years of hard work.

... topic: 3678 Curves on turnout template posted: 25 May 2020 03:22 from: Graham Long I am trying to make curved turnout template. I set the radius of the main line and minimum radius of 1200mm warning. In the information panel I get the switch and turnout curve radii and also a smallest radius on template figure. What does this last figure refer to? posted: 25 May 2020 10:38 from: Ian Allen Graham, The smallest radius will be just that. Your main running line will be radius X, your turnout curve radius will be Y. The smallest radius IIRC is between the crossing vee and the switch heel. If you change the crossing vee from Regular to Generic, you will see this minimum value change. I'm sure Martin or others will be able to explain more fully.

529. Three throw point
... topic: 2028 Three throw point posted: 24 Jul 2012 10:20 from: mike47j I'm building a three throw point in 0 guage. Anyone have any tips on how to do this. Especially how to move the inner blades? Normally, I would use a thin strip if fiberglass pcb and lace pins as hinges soldered to the inner face of the rail, but there is no space to do that on the inner blades of a three throw. Mike Johnson posted: 24 Jul 2012 13:16 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mike, Richard Lambert of this parish (" dikitriki" on RMweb) wrote a detailed topic on the construction of a 3-throw in 0 gauge. Unfortunately, it was on Old RMweb which is off-line at present. It's possible he also posted it elsewhere, such as the Guild forum, so it might be worth a PM to him. If you can wait a week or two, RMweb is getting new servers in the next couple of weeks, and if all goes to plan Andy ...

531. Y-turnouts again
... suitable switch size before starting; how to make a crossover from a Y-turnout (as for example in terminal engine release roads); what the hand of a Y-turnout means and the effect on shoved timbers; how to add a platform alongside a Y-turnout... One bug I've noticed and fixed is that movable K-crossings have never had the drive slot (tie-bar mark) showing. How come no-one ever mentioned that?

... the baseboards and I'll probably use aerosol carpet adhesive to stick the track down, with diluted latex adhesive used for ballasting. Two lengths of track on EPDM rubber and neoprene rubber were left outside for just over a week during the summer to assess durability to the elements, and neither the adhesive backed EPDM rubber or Neoprene rubber lifted and the carpet adhesive holding the track down didn't fail either.EPDM rubber has excellent resistance to fresh and sea water, oxidation, ultra violet, ozone, aging and weathering.

EPDM is the firmer of the two. Some of the other types are either too soft or too firm, with some being almost solid. Ian ...
... went back with the long layout plans.... From memory I think I paid around £50 for the 9m plan and a couple of other much shorter ones. I got the idea that they didn't often do printing on this scale and so there was no list of prices, the lady who served me simply throught of what seemed like an appropriate figure! Again from memory, I think they did have prices for standard drawing sizes (such as those that would accompany a planning application, A1?)- £10 comes to mind. Apologies for not signing previous posts- other forums that I'm on have a 'signature' facility which provides a sign-off automatically; I'd completely forgotten that isn't the case here.

... baseboad shall be a full width and depth sheet. Ideally, I need to be able to split the upper and lower levels to allow wiring and point motors fitted to each of the baseboard levels. My prefered baseboard material would be 9mm ply. Has anyone attempted this type of construction and/or can anyone please help me get started? I have played about with a number of ideas but have come to the conclusion that it would be better to check with fellow modellers first.

538. 4 bolt chairs
... topic: 3681 4 bolt chairs posted: 28 May 2020 11:16 from: Hayfield Phil at C&L is now in a position to refresh the range of products he supplies. The first new tooling was the flexible 00 track, in 60' panels, 12" timbers at the ends and two types of key arrangements Next up are the 4 mm scale 2 and 3 bolt chairs, sprues now come with 16 items, 10 x standard chairs, 2 x Bridge chairs, 2 x J chairs and 2 x H shaped fishplates. The fishplates are also available as separate items. Phil also has plans afoot to revise more of the existing range as well as bringing new products to the market. He now wants to see if its worth updating the 4 bolt chairs similarly and would like to know what pre-grouped companies used 4 bolt chairs so he can explore this matter further. I have some of the new chairs on order, will upload photos when I get them posted: 28 May 2020 11:39 from: Dave ...
... turnout; Delta- Deltas were a specific unit, they were available in different rail weights and crossing numbers (7.52, 8.7 etc) just like the other crossings. Two were used in a double crossover when the track centres were 11'8", if the spacing was a little greater then only one was used (the other side had 2 Vs and a K) and if the tracks were widely spaced then no deltas were used. Are these terms used elsewhere in the world? Mark posted: 3 Apr 2013 21:10 from: Phil O Hi Mark The Great western Railway used the terms compound and Double Compound. Check and Guard rail are still used and are often interchangeable. I've not heard of Delta or Deltas.

540. 1st P4 Layout
... topic: 2168 1st P4 Layout posted: 27 Feb 2013 11:10 from: bowie87 Hi, as stated in the Description it's my 1st time trying a P4 (Hand-built) gauge layout. It is set in early 1934 as I want the full 'Great Western' on the side of my loco's rather that the small Shirtbutton. I am limited for room, so the layout will be 2.85m x0.8m with a split at the 1.65m mark from the Left Hand side of the plan. Now before I continue I'll point out that I do own a copy of the David Smith (GWSC) book of 'GWR Switch and crossing practice' and I have tried to get as close as possible to achieve prototype track as I can with my limited knowledge of point work, timbering and templot. I am hoping at building GWR Old Style 10' Loose Heel turnouts with joggles. Now the part that has got me worried. On the attached Box file I am concerned that my turnouts won't have the clearance that should be 4.5'' (1.5mm ...
