541. Scissors
... partial templates... Don't look too closely at the timbering! There's no right or wrong way to get the same end result, and as it's the end result that matters, who cares how you get there? posted: 29 Mar 2011 00:42 from: Ian Allen Raymond, Here is a scissor crossover still being worked on by myself. As you can see I have temporarily removed 4 check rails until such time as I build up separate templates.

... but has kindly offered some drawings and information on certain parts of the station that have remained, relatively speaking, as was. However, my main stumbling block is I have no track or building layout plans for the period mentioned above. I would therefore, be most grateful if anyone can help with, or perhaps point me in the direction of, such information. I'm sure there must be something hidden away in some archive someplace or other. Best regards to all. Brian Nicholls. posted: 8 Apr 2010 16:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, "Britain's New Railway", O. S. Nock, Ian Allan, 1966, has "before-and-after" track plans of the New Street 1960s rebuilding (fold-out opposite p.152). I don't know how similar the "before" plan would be to your 1938 period, probably little changed. I could scan it for you? I think this would fall within copyright fair dealing if you are not intending to use it commercially. regards, Martin. ...
... topic: 1420 Comparison of N and 2mm Fine Scale gauges printout posted: 15 Mar 2011 12:07 from: kenbec I have decided to use code 40 track but haven't yet decided whether to use the N or 2mmFS gauge width for the standard track. As a test to allow me to create test straight track in both gauges I created a simple 500mm length drawing in N for UK gauge and printed it. I then changed to 2mmFS gauge using the gauge/scale selector and printed it. In both cases the Information Panel showed the correct gauge of 9mm and 9.42mm respectively. The printouts were identical. Does this mean that changing the gauge is not possible after a track template has been created? I thought from other reading that a change as simple as this was possible. Is the only way I can get a printout of a 2mm 9.42mm gauge straight by creating it as an original? This is not a problem with the turnouts I have designed as I intend to still use the 9mm standard in their case. Regards, ken PS ...
... C chairs. For parallel wing crossings a similar twist is needed in the wing/check rail, from inclined to vertical, but I'm not sure where the twist is made. Parallel wing crossings require special crossing chairs to accommodate the check rail beyond the B chair, presumably setting it vertical after a twist in the REA designs. The NER drawings show the layout of such chairs on page 39, but no drawings of them. Parallel wing chair drawings, anyone? regards, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2012 16:07 from: Tony W Hi David, Martin. Further to the above, I was going by the British Railway Track book third edition published by the Permanent Way Institute. This has a drawing on page 67 showing Flangeway clearances and this gives the impression that the check rail is inclined. However I have subsequently discovered on page 410 in a section that deals with check rails a statement that says "Check rails in Bull Head track are usually fixed vertically in special chairs", implying the drawing is incorrect. The sectional drawing ...
... . The low-residue flux is non-corrosive and doesn't need cleaning off. The one which is different is traditional solder paint. This has an active water-based flux, and much coarser grade of ordinary 60/40 solder particles. It is a lot less expensive than SMT paste. It is not suitable for electronics -- it's intended for general fabrication, plumbing and tinsmithing. If it is used for track construction the active flux must be thoroughly washed off. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Jan 2012 07:02 from: richard_t For sleepers I use a mixture of vinegar and steel wool, which stains softwood sleepers a nice silvery/grey. Google this and you'll find what to do. It's a bit smelly, but the smell does go eventually. You'll need to practise with the amount of wool to vinegar otherwise you'll end up with mid-brown/yellow sleepers. I've not tried it with ply mind you. There is also a silver wood product on the market which does the same, without the smell. ...

I moved the peg to the near side of the curve and the transition completed. Is this anywhere in the doco's as the error message is confusing. Purely by luck I just swapped the peg position to see what would happen.

See para 10 at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/info_files/make_trans.htm from which: If one of the original templates was itself a transition template, the new transition will be matched to it according to the position of its fixing peg.

548. RAID PC Help
... need to find the drivers. According to the manual these are on the motherboard CD, which will create a driver disk on floppy. (Microsoft's idea of a joke.) You need to feed the floppy in when you boot the Vista disk, pressing F6 at some point. After that the recovery system should be able to see the raid array and fix it. Probably worth slipstreaming the raid drivers into the Vista disk using Nlite, but thats not an easy solution. Mike Johnson posted: 2 Mar 2011 22:07 from: Ian Allen Hi Mike, We looked at doing a driver boot from a floppy, but could I find one at home? No, lol. In the end we did a driver update via a USB stick, but still no real joy. Have found some recovery software from Runtime which may help, especially as they have trial downloads.

... went off to stick them together. While I was away, Windows crashed (surprise, surprise!) and now when I open my box file, the plan has returned to what it was BEFORE my changes. I always thought Templot "saved" everything when you backgrounded the templates? Is there any way I can get the plan back to match the printed version? I ask because I am not done printing and I feel I won't be able to exactly match what I had before Cheers Bruce posted: 13 Apr 2010 07:52 from: Jim Guthrie Bruce, If, when you re-start Templot, you say OK to restoring the previous contents of the storage box, you get back the last state of Templot. I thought that might be the case, but I've just tried it out by modifying a known layout then switching the PC off without saving the changes. When I restarted everything and started Templot and accepted the previous storage box contents, the modified layout appeared with the changes as done. I suspect that if you don't ...
... wonderful track configurations but I also checked with a spreadsheet by David Honer who used AREA 1941 data to construct his turnout calculator. Davids, Martins and Andy's data was so close it hurt() in lead length for a #6 but FT's seem to have a longer lead length. I suspect theirs is more inline with NMRA info than any specific prototype. As I am modeling the mid 40's in Virginia I tend to lean towards the AREA 1941 data more than anything else. Cheers Bruce posted: 25 Feb 2011 16:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Bruce, Here is your original file, converted. There is no significant change to the roadbed or track alignments. Most of the switches are now 11ft, with a couple of 16ft-6in. I haven't made any other changes, there is still some timber shoving to do in places. Also there are several places where you have used #6 turnouts, where something a bit longer would fit. These are generic templates with evenly-spaced timbers. If you want exactly to match Andy's ...

Regards Dave posted: 21 Apr 2010 17:13 from: Nigel Brown There's a good diagram of a 1 in 7 crossover on page 86 of Smith's book; he seems to use quite a lot of long timbers, although that crossover is at GWR standard 6'6" track spacing. In the accompanying text he mentions a 3' spread between the arms of the V as being the point at which sleepers start to be used on the straight roads, which might help. posted: 22 Apr 2010 07:17 from: David Hiya Nigel Thanks for the addition infomation, very informative.

554. BR Track plans
... topic: 956 BR Track plans posted: 17 Oct 2009 15:52 from: richard_t Hello I'm going to start Temploting over some British Rail plans (41.66' to 1" scale), and I wondered what the bar near the switch end of a turnout represented? Is it the tips of the switches, where the stretcher bar is, or something else? I can't post a real example (copyright), but attached is an (made up) example. 499_171051_330000000.png TIA Richard. posted: 18 Oct 2009 07:18 from: Jamie92208 As far as I can tell it is where the point blades start.

When I tried to alter it to a 1 in 8 diamond it complained about it being irregular etc. However I overcame this by going back to a turnout and back again. I haven't altered the K crossing check rails. Attachment: attach_1445_1958_Gauge01in8DS.box 219 posted: 15 May 2012 10:09 from: Martin Wynne Borg-Rail wrote: there seems that there ...
556. Running two copies
... first copy is using. I was running two copies from the same .exe file, which the programme recommends against in any case, so this might just be a side effect of that. Either way it is not at all a problem and once you select your preferred option it stays with it, but I thought I would let you know anyway. In fact, under windows 8 with lots of memory I have had 4 copies going at the same time without any ill effect.

Hi Derek, I can't reproduce that from a standing start, but that's not surprising because there is no possible mechanism to cause it. However, if you launch 2 or more instances of the Templot .exe from the same folder they will be sharing much of their data, backup files, etc. It's likely that you were using equalized timbers ...
557. Just getting nowhere
... Peco track you have come to the wrong program. Templot is intended for handbuilt track. If you are looking for a program with which to design a model railway using Peco track or similar, I recommend David Hoogvorst's AnyRail program instead: http://www.anyrail.com Could you clarify what you mean about the baseboard? Any background shape can be deleted by selecting it in the list and clicking the delete shape button. The selected shape shows in a brighter red on the trackpad. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Aug 2014 07:36 from: Phil O You can accurately size and position baseboard background shapes by inputting the co-ordinates when you first draw them.

... chair after the Butanone has been applied along with a slight to and fro horizontal movement which seems to bed the melted plastic into the ply. I use a set of tweezers to do this with a point on the chair on each side of the rail. I then apply weight to a section of the rail after its chairs have been glued for a minute or two.
