543. On screen reminders
... the next program update (coming soon). The reminder boxes are in a fixed column on the right of the screen, with a moving line linking them to the relevant template, similar to call-outs. Currently you can have up to 5 reminders, and change the colour of each. Maximum of 200 characters each. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Nov 2017 03:10 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the suggestions about on-screen reminders. This function will be in the next program update. A few notes: This is not intended to replace the existing memo notes function for each template. Every stored template can have a permanent set of detailed memo notes about such things as prototype details, intended construction methods, etc. Such notes are accessed from the storage box. This function has been in Templot from the very beginning, although I suspect it is seldom used. But in addition, any background template can now have a reminder message. This is intended to be a temporary reminder about design work in progress in Templot ...

... to the down main immediately after crossing Ludgate Hill bridge. In my first iteration using the LC&DR plan, this link was smooth unlike the reverse curve on the OS map. To smooth it out on the OS would push the switches back further onto the bridge where there would be insufficient clearance -- the bridge girders are tight to gauge here. May be my reservations are unfounded and it was built with the reverse curve connection and the wider separation of the in and out tracks. Unfortunately, photographs of Holborn are few and far between, especially in the 19th Century. Regards Geoff posted: 21 May 2019 17:54 from: JFS Ha- gocha- there is not too much detailing in there at all!! And I am not sure I could detail the three-way Ks- let alone the 2 x 3-way vees- though I did work out how they would need to be made. The aspect you mention is one area where the OS map and the plan from the Engineer differ. And an even more ...

An interesting bit of un-connected bit of track in the second one. Switched diamonds in many of the slips as well.

Most of the fixed acute angled crossings seen in the image are what's called 'self guarded'. A raised flange as part of a single cast structure along with the ...

Is there a way to do this or do I have to do them all individually?

... all the functions which make changes to the control template to the bottom row: 2_031244_010000000.png The ROTATE button has been reinstated for those mourning its loss in version 215. Plus T|P for insert turnout/convert to plain track, and the ORBIT mouse action. This is more beginner-friendly than snake, because like roam it ignores the peg position. I retained the STOP button for the legacy videos, even though it is now duplicated on the mouse action panel. That left some space on the top row for a few quick-access buttons to the tools> make... functions. I have chosen the four most frequently used. Obviously the full menu is still there for more. Plus I have added a more prominent reminder of the current track gauge, for times when the info panel is hidden. I'm still in two minds about that. This will be in the next program update. Unless I change my mind and it isn't. Comments welcome. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Nov 2017 18:20 from: ...

... of problems. Best to build some of the it fairly tight (0SF). On the Left hand side the outermost track is too close to it's neighbour- bit more clearance required (well quite a lot really). Double Slips in main line station areas not unknown. More clearance on curves may be required depending on stock being used.

A few things I noticed: 2_050902_130000000.png The K-crossing angles on this diamond-crossing do not match. On the left the K-crossing is 1:6.35, and 1:7.25 on the right. Where necessary you can get away with small differences in K-crossing angle, but not this much. To create matched K-crossings, use the tools> make diamond-crossing function, or the make diamond-crossing at intersection function. In this situation on a sharpish curve, I would strongly recommend building ...

The chairs come printed in a clear resin so I used a mixture of Humbrol 24 and 70 Matt paint to match them to the Exactoscale chairs. I added bolt detail to the C&L Slide Rail chairs. (No need to do that in future now that Modelu ones are here). The C&L chairs also received the same paint treatment.

Fraser posted: 25 Oct 2017 15:29 from: d827kelly Another MERG member here. I've built a couple of CBUS modules and just finished (with some help) a CANCMD module (still needs to be tested though). I am awaiting the CANMIO boards becoming available as kits before going further at present as I'll need a few for the current layout plans. posted: 25 Oct 2017 16:40 from: FraserSmith Hi d827kelly As I noted above Pete will supply bags of bits for the MIO at what I'm sure will be a very similar price to the kit when it comes. All the instructions are on the wiki and the boards are available from the kitlocker. What's stopping you? Seriously if you have built the CANCMD, even if you did have help, then building the MIO won't be any more difficult. Email pete and ask about ...
552. A junction
... mis-tracking. At that angle most folks would go for a switch diamond. Are you planning to have the junction pointwork 3-D printed? Cheers, Andy Martin. Hi Martin, Sorry for my slow reply. I've been chasing trains. Visited our daughter in California then the Durango& Silverton in Colorado. I have pics, including some details of a turnout. Where might there be a good place to park them? After that I intercepted UP's restored Big Boy as it returned to Cheyenne. I've made a few changes and will post an update in a bit. As I already have a lot of SMP track the turnouts will be printed to 00-SF. Originally I was going to make the layout multi-level but decided against it. In the best Hornby-Dublo tradition it will basically a double track circuit with reversing loop capability. The double-junction feeds to terminus on the inside of the double track circuit. The tight radii bits at the ends will be "off-stage". I might add some ...

554. Ordinary Crossover
... why the spacings dialog comes up when you use them. In practice it is most often the TS spacing which needs setting. The MS spacing applies only when making double-track for loops and sidings alongside running lines. Strictly speaking the MS spacing in the UK should default to 10ft-way for that purpose. i.e. in 4mm/ft scale that would be 60.67mm centres (182") instead of 44.67mm TS centres (134") for 6ft-way. However when I did that it caused much confusion because few modellers have space for the full spacings, or know about the prototype requirements. So by default MS and TS start off the same. Those who know what they are doing can then widen MS as needed for loops and sidings. The prototype allows 9ft-way instead of 10ft-way alongside running lines where space constraints make it unavoidable, for example between platforms or bridge parapets. (For those with space for 4-track main lines, the 10ft-way MS would also apply in the centre between the 2 ...
... and a carriage siding) makes more sense. I don't want to bring the front-left tracks too close to the front, but I wonder if a large S curve will give me the geometry I need. Life has gone a bit mad in the last couple of days, but I think that may be my next port of call. The added benefit is that I'm introducing some curved turnouts, which are sooo pretty. posted: 15 Nov 2018 16:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi William, There are a few issues with your plan: 2_151045_360000002.png Omitting switch timbers isn't generally an option because they need to be at specific locations for the special switch chairs to fit properly. Where you want to insert a switch close into the back of a V-crossing like this, some ingenuity in the timbering is needed. In this case you have a turnout with a regular type V-crossing, so you can lock the V-crossing in place (CTRL+ 4 peg position) and then change the lead length of the turnout by ...
556. sketchboard menu
... Development Version in 2010. For the simple reason that having added the menu items to the menu, I completely forgot to provide any click code for them! Which means it has taken 7 years for anyone to notice, and you get the prize (if there was one). I've been worried recently that I forget things and make more mistakes in the code than I used to do. It seems the rot set in some time ago. I will get it fixed in the next program update. There are quite a few other menu items which don't yet do anything, where I still haven't written the relevant help notes. But I do actually know about those.

... 2018 08:32 from: Martin Wynne Hi Fraser, I'm reluctant to do that because it is easily defeated by changing the clock on the system. Likewise changing settings for the number of restarts. I'm absolutely determined that there should be no way to run a version of Templot which is not the current update version. Do you have an Android phone? Or someone else nearby? If you set it up as a portable wi-fi hotspot you can get internet access on your laptop from it. Templot downloads only a few hundred bytes so will have negligible effect on your data quota. Once Templot is started you can turn the phone off. from Settings, tap Wireless& networks> More tap Tethering& portable hotspot tap Portable Wi-Fi hotspot Follow the instructions to set it up for the first time. It will give you a wi-fi login and password to use on the laptop. cheers, Martin. posted: 27 Feb 2018 23:38 from: FraserSmith Hi Martin I appreciate your concern regarding users and old versions. ...
