... the ends of your original elements. That may reduce 2 sections to 1. If you have 2 adjacent sections of the same radius which are for some reason split, then just extend one to the end of the other and delete the 'other'. To move a group of sections of track together, use the 'Group' functions. Beyond that, all sections will be individual and have to be due to the number of parameters involved. I'm happy to be corrected or clarified! Andy posted: 20 Feb 2008 18:07 from: Peter Salathiel Best not to create too many templates in the first place. When I first started using Templot I created an inordinate number of templates because I continued to think in terms of straights, curves and set geometry points, a carryover from the way I used to plan trackwork. Martin's advice: "if you are building your own 00 track please forget everything you know about Peco (or any other)ready-made commercial turnouts. I confess I thought this a little strange at the time but I'm ...
522. White chair screws

Is it a trick of the light, or did they really have nothing better to do there? John Further to the other replies on this brand new chair screws are galvanised (zinc plated) which means they may look white in a black& white photo.

But the timbers seem to be in good condition with no splits or broken edges -- perhaps ash ballast doesn't look new even when it is?

Hi Dave It is not a good idea to grind soft metals on normal grinding wheels which are intended for steel. The softer metals can melt and build up in the wheel clogging it. Bits of this can sometimes fly of which is not good, or possibly even break the wheel which could be very nasty indeed. Regards Geoff posted: 28 Apr 2008 23:28 from: John Lewis ...
... separately for load and save) for the remainder of the session. One thing I've found which helps with organising box files is to put them in sub-directories of the default directory, one sub-directory for each project, rather than in the default directory itself. Also, the examples provided with Templot I've cleared out of the default directory and shoved in a directory called Examples. This keeps box-files associated with unrelated projects separate, while still leaving them reasonably quick to access.

I was going to post again, but got dragged out. A mouse action for the checkrails would be good Thanks Richard. posted: 25 Mar 2008 04:07 from: BeamEnds I had a similar hiccup with my single slip (see Soddingham thread), for some reason the V check rail on the bottom half of the diamond that the slip is based on would not respond to the "shorten for slip" menu item. Not a show stopper, so I didn't raise it as a bug, plus I'd been messing around with the slip for ages so I've probaby done something daft. I'd not had this happen pre the lastest release, but that could be a red herring ...

... topic: 428 Problem with colour printing posted: 8 May 2008 07:38 from: David Leaver I aploogise if this has been raised before. I am using version 0.82.d. I have printed a group. One page shows the crossing of a P4 REA semi-curved B8 RH trunout. The plain track continuation of the main track is printed correctly but the rails of the branch did not print although the sleepers are correctly shown. On the adjoining page, below the above one, both tracks appear correctly. On another page, showing only a single plain track, which was the last of the group to be printed, one rail was printed but not the other. This was with an HP colour laser printer.

... -winded combination of chopping up turnout templates, snaking, rotating, blanking and prolific swearing got me to the attached box file- absolutely no timber-shoving yet!- but I'm sure there must be a better way. I suppose it's not too big a deal in practice- the timbers and check/ wing rails can always be marked in manually, absolute accuracy isn't needed because the construction gauges will provide that. But has anyone got any better strategy?

Martin. posted: 3 Jun 2008 01:34 from: phileakins Well Simon- on personal experience, allowing 250 beer tokens ain't going to buy nearly enough time to get to grips with Templot for a complicated railway! I've just 'lost' the best part of a fortnight (enjoyably I might add, but I've got a whole lot of soldering I'm supposed to be doing) but now have a workable track plan for a shunting 'plank'.

532. Track Gauges
... -point gauges are used to create gauge-widening. If you use Mr. Pythogoras you get a much longer gauge than most folks use. Generally they settle on some gauge-widening being better than none, using a shorter gauge. Here's the drawing for the 00-SF 3-point gauge: 00_sf_3point_gauge.png The length there is 30mm, so for 0-SF I suggest 50 to 55mm. Brian Tulley can tell you where he is getting these made. regards, Martin. posted: 13 Jun 2008 21:07 from: BeamEnds I've sent the info to the potential maker for him to give yea or nay on actually going ahead before getting definate quotes.

In particular I was looking at the turnout at the bottom of the plan which feeds the two sidings. Changing ...

... HInges posted: 21 Jan 2011 12:11 from: Franz Hello I am searching for methods to assemble the Turnout Hinges. I searched this site and other sites and found little detail. The only true details are shown in a FastTrack video and the Proto87 details. Are there any other great hints on this subject. What methods are used to hold the point rail into the Hinge? How is the Hinge fastened to the other rails? What gap is recommended for the flangeway? Paul posted: 21 Jan 2011 15:07 from: wcampbell23 Hi Paul Before you can get useful advice on this it would help to know what scale gauge combination you are working with. Traditionally for hand built turnouts in the smaller scales- 2mm to 4mm- the switch rail continues as the closure rail as far as the insulating gap for the common crossing. This is because the rail section is light enough to give the flex required for the blade movement. For larger scales a pivot is often used at the end of the switch blade. This may a bolt ...

Hi, Yes they are not a "scale" item. You are up against the limits of injection moulding. Heat, flow rate and the thinness of section. It is the same reason that cockpit canopies in modern kits of aircraft are still so thick. Also from memory they do hold the rail. Any thiner and probably there wouldn't be the robustness that the task requires. Like any of these items it is a toss up for manufacturer for accuracy, successful manufacturing,market penetration and end use. It is ...

So to convert feet to mm you need to enter fi or if as the prefix -- fi3 converts 3ft to 914.4mm Always check the units being requested (shown to the right of the entry box) so that you can use the appropriate combination of input conversion letters. This is a change in 206b. In older versions of Templot, the f prefix converted 64ths of an inch to decimal inches. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Nov 2012 10:11 from: ...
