... topic: 3594 Irish 3ft chaired track posted: 9 Jan 2020 10:55 from: Ian Bunch Hi all I've found the relevant data I need for FB track but I've seen some images of Irish 3ft gauge with BH/chaired track. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. This is Ballycastle http://www.ballycastlehistory.com/railway-world-november-1979.html I've also seen it on CDR, L&LSR and T&D photos. Would this have been handed down stuff from standard/5'3" railways? Last edited on 9 Jan 2020 10:55 by Ian Bunch posted: 9 Jan 2020 11:58 from: Jim Guthrie The Festiniog also used chaired bullhead track and the chairs and rail were smaller in size than standard gauge parts. Jim. posted: 11 Jan 2020 06:18 from: DerekStuart Morning Jim Are you sure Ffestiniog uses different rail cross-section? I seem to recall that they received a donation of ex BR BH rail. I'm sure there was a conversation here in which it was ...

Is this as intended? Hi Howard, Yes, that's intended. Prototypically it is quite rare for a platform to be alongside the diverging road of a turnout. However, if you do need that: 1. copy the turnout to the control. 2. click tools> make split> make plain track turnout road> on external geometrical radius menu item. If that menu item is greyed out: a. if the peg is on CTRL-0 put it on CTRL-1 (or anywhere except CTRL-0 ...
... topic: 3611 Happy Birthday, Delphi- 25 today! posted: 14 Feb 2020 10:12 from: Martin Wynne A note from Embarcadero to tell me that Delphi is 25 years old today. Delphi1 was first released on February 14th 1995 as a new development tool for Windows3.11 (16-bit). I didn't realise that Delphi was only a couple of years old when I started using it. By which time it had already morphed into 32-bit Delphi2 for Windows95. Both Delphi and Templot are still going strong all these years later.

544. Templot 009 Template
... topic: 2180 Templot 009 Template posted: 16 Mar 2013 21:24 from: chrisveitch I've just started using Templot again after toying with it a few years ago. Can anyone tell me if there's a suitable 009 or HOe (i.e. 9mm narrow gauge) track template around? I seem to recall seeing one when I first tried out Templot but can't find one on the forum. Apologies if it's already there and I overlooked it.

... topic: 3622 Email oddities posted: 1 Mar 2020 10:36 from: allanferguson I have things set up to get forum postings by email, and that mostly works fine. However I have recently been receiving multiple email copies of Martin's postings. This morning I received eleven emails with Martin's posting number 473. timed in here at 21:02. The emails were timed between 00:39 and 08:23. It's not a big issue, although there is a risk of me deleting good emails with the rubbish, But I wondered if anyone here might have any idea why this happens. It only seems to affect Martin's postings. Allan F posted: 1 Mar 2020 11:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Allan I posted a few days ago about some Templot emails not arriving or arriving very (days) late. I'm fairly sure there's something not right about the forum emails at the moment. With missing emails it's a bit tricky to see what's happened because I don't have them! I'm still missing some Templot emails, so now ...

548. Shove timbers
... want to lengthen a timber towards the label without moving the other end. The only way I can see to do this is to lengthen the timber and then use throw with the mouse which loses me the end position. What's the difference between forward/backward and crab-left/crab-right they seem to do exactly the same things? Why is there no button equivalent of the mouse action throw? Or is there some way of getting a guide line for the ends of the timbers? posted: 6 Mar 2013 10:12 from: Martin Wynne mike47j wrote: I want to lengthen a timber towards the label without moving the other end. Hi Mike, Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking lengthen or pressing L. Same for shorten and S. What's the difference between forward/backward and crab-left/crab-right they seem to do exactly the same things? Try twisting the timber first to see the difference. On a straight template, if the timber has not been twisted there is no difference. On a curved ...
549. Switched diamonds
... topic: 2166 Switched diamonds posted: 25 Feb 2013 13:14 from: Raymond I am working on a ladder crossing over two tracks. If I use a curviform crossing, the resulting diamond from the turnout (14'@ 1;10) is just over 1:5, far too tight for running lines. A regular crossing results in a 1:10 diamond but I want a single slip there too. Would it be prototypical in 1900 GWR practice to have an outside slip on a moving elbow diamond? I can find nothing in David Smith's book to suggest either way. Regards and thanks to anyone who can help.

... might consider treating the centre crossing and the upper crossing as one electrical unit which would avoid having to put a break in the short rail between the crossings. 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.

Hi Martin, Looking good. If you upgrade to Templot2 you can easily adjust the check rails to do that on the templates -- real> adjust check rails... menu item. (You can set them in 091c, but it's a bit tedious.) In Templot2 you can also use a gaunt turnout as the base template for the middle crossing, which ...
551. GWR 45 foot
... I need to create a template for a 45 foot length of GWR bull-head track with the correct sleeper spacings at each end. For some reason I don't seem to be able to achieve this- is there a way to do it? Hi, Stuart Hince has written a tutorial on setting up custom rail lengths and sleeper spacings in Templot.

... model track plan at the same time. For example you have probably already discovered on the plan you posted that the snap join functions are not the way to get smoothly flowing pointwork, and definitely not if aligning over a map. It's much better to use the split and insert functions to create a track plan, as in this video: http://flashbackconnect.com/Movie.aspx?id=QBDJMDgdiC7PwRqLS2U3jg2 Notice that at no time in the video are two separate templates joined together. cheers, Martin. posted: 3 May 2020 10:08 from: David Gwynne Thanks Martin for your swift response. First of all, an apology as I mislead you in terms of the map I used. I had uploaded and stitched together the "find by place" 1919 maps which I hadn't appreciated weren't 6"one! Thanks for confirming that OO won't fit exactly. I had expected that it wouldn't quite work.

... - I just like to be able to look at the finished track without any scruffy templates attached Slide chairs were a problem until I discovered Loctite 435. When cleaned properly, you will not be able to remove the slide chair from the rail without breaking the chair and chiseling off the remains. I know from experience... Finally, I'll endorse Howard's comments about using etch waste to hold crossing assemblies together- absolutely vital.

555. Crossovers
... the TS side whereas I wanted it on the MS side (I hope I've got these the right way around). I concluded that the notch and maybe also the peg positions were driving this behaviour and by playing around with their positions I finally achieved what I wanted. Surely there must be an easier way of doing this. While the crossover positions were going wrong, I undid (left arrow) the changes and they disappeared. However, when I looked at the storage box list, the same crossover was defined about 10 times!! I deleted the duplicates with the storage box delete button. BTW, the storage box is for "Midland Central" even though I saved it with a different name.

Yes I can appreciate that licensed components do mean that Templot2 can't be opensourced in its current form. I was speculating if the lack of any collaboration is because it is not the main project, however it could equally be that there aren't enough people with the time, skills or inclination to participate. Templot is a wonderful piece of software, unequalled in its functionality and I would hate to see it disappear, however I know I am not alone ...
