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.

Here's a nice pic from Mick Nicholson showing a prototype double-slip with movable K-crossings (flat-bottom): fb_movablek_dslip.jpg It is also a good picture for judging the size of ballast stones -- those timbers are 12" (4mm) wide. p.s. according to the database this is my 6,000th post to Templot Club, no wonder I'm feeling tired today.

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 ...

Jim. posted: 6 Jan 2013 14:40 from: rammstein2609 Thanks for replying Jim. I have found a few wiring diagrams for tandem turnouts and they all have at least two crossings wired together. I have a box full of Cobalt point motors with built in DCC decoders so will utilise the onboard switch to change polarity.

... the same problem occurring on 4mm scale 00 gauge slips. Practically, you are probably going to have to lay the slip rail, then cut and file a piece of rail to solder or glue to the back of the slip rail that reproduces as much of the check rail as you can squeeze in. I think you will find the same situation in RTR slips made to coarser track standards. Or you can start modelling in exact scale Proto:Z to avoid the problem.

... 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.

... 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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Last bit needed before I have to go back over the layout and go through sleepers. Attachment: attach_2531_3107_conwy.zip 216 posted: 13 Oct 2017 11:50 from: John Palmer I would do it by making TL533 the control template, then making the crossover by using Tools -> make ordinary crossover. Before doing this, however, you need to adjust the turnout side adjacent track centre for TL533 so that the crossover thus formed aligns with the adjacent down main line (PR477). Because TL533 and PR477 aren't running parallel here, you will need to pick an arbitrary point on PR477 at which to measure its current offset from TL533 then make some adjustments after the crossover is created.2129_130634_140000000.png As the image shows, I picked a point on TL533 lying opposite the expected mid point of the crossover, slid the peg to this ...
