... topic: 2335 Are there any Templot users in West Sussex? posted: 15 Oct 2013 10:37 from: MartynS Hi Chaps, I have been struggling with Templot for quite a while now, and although I do not like to give in easily I have to admit" I give up". So I was wondering if there are any local Temploters out there who could help me get back on track( pardon the pun ), I live close to Chichester but do not know of any like minded souls.

Trevor posted: 26 Jan 2014 15:16 from: Raymond If you want to remove all the timbers in a turnout go to 'Real' 'Timbering' 'No timbering'.

... topic: 2329 Not able to restore timbers posted: 6 Oct 2013 10:16 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I don't seem able to restore timbers as I used to be. If you select no timbering and then later use shift/F10 and click on the green bar to restore timbers, it doesn't and the option to restore timbers is greyed out. Is there some new way to do this or is it a bug? posted: 6 Oct 2013 10:46 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stephen, I can't reproduce this. It is all working ok for me. Where did you select "no timbering"? Which version of Templot? Can you post the .box file? regards, Martin. posted: 6 Oct 2013 11:08 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Latest version. Real>>>>No timbering Template Number 20 DL0021 is the one.

... as the turnout and siding were not original, and were later removed, so don't exist on many photos of the location. I don't know in what situations centralised timbering would be prototypical- perhaps when both roads are used equally? I'm looking for an excuse to build it as it is. There will be plenty of detritus around in any case so it won't be terribly noticeable. But it's still relatively easy to start again and adjust the timbering if centralised is definitely inappropriate here. All best Julian posted: 5 Sep 2020 10:06 from: Julian Roberts Actually I think I've found the answer to the question of whether it will look OK in the situation. This photo does show more than I remembered. Hardly a pukka mainline scene! Interested to know the answers to the questions all the same! The turnout in question is the one on the right of the loco. 3591_050458_440000000.png posted: 5 Sep 2020 12:33 from: Martin Wynne Julian Roberts wrote: I don't know in what situations centralised timbering would be prototypical- perhaps when both ...
568. Trying to use NLS
... the exact map I need form NLS. Whilst it seems wonderful and has the map I want, I can't locate it again! I'm after the West London Line from Kensington High Street to the Cromwell Road/A4 bridge to the south on the 25" to the mile series, post-1945. It seems to stretch over 2 maps what I need, but as I said, I can't fathom it out at all. I have the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to computer things. It's taken me 10 years or more to try to work out Templot and have built a layout using it with help from here, but this one has me baffled. Of course I then need to get that copied into Templot. Any help is appreciated. posted: 7 Sep 2020 01:43 from: Martin Wynne roythebus wrote: Good evening, I'm trying to download a map from NLS but can't for the lif of me fathom how to locate the exact map I need form NLS.

... switches and crossings, but used timbers under these. Some time ago a 1:8 NER interlaced turnout template was made available, but practices differ, althoguh it can be used as a starting point. (Pardon the pun- it was unintentional.) My primary interest is to suit a branchline in the late Edwardian era, so I suspect the practice would be that current some 15-20 years earlier. My sketched out layout plan is based mostly on using 1in7 crossings.

... that they are now very popular and the days of a home desk-based computer are probably numbered. I do test and try Templot on CrossOver/Wine to make sure as far as possible that it runs well and is usable, so if Templot will now run on tablets using CrossOver I will try to make sure Templot works well on there. A full release of CrossOver Android is expected next month. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Jul 2017 16:00 from: davelong Hi Martin I use templot on a 10" tablet. It runs both windows and android, via an Intel chip. I don't have any real issues other than the size of the menu and shortcut icons, but just get on with it as it's my choice using such a small screen. Nothing seems to be compromised at all, if I get annoyed with trying to tap the screen I use a small mouse. [size= ]Edit. Dragging a box for screen zoom or to group several templates etc isn't possible with the touch screen, but if ...

... time so I don't miss the missing F keys. One small problem that I do have is that when I use the printer in Templot, windows seems to grab the printer and refuse to let go. The only way I can get the printer to work again on the Mac side is to reboot the computer. Not a major problem, it just means I have to organise my printing sessions. regards John posted: 1 Mar 2008 00:26 from: BeamEnds Just a note to remind everyone about Linux (Mac OS 10 is a flavour of Linux/Unix by the way- what out for those viruses!)- and it's *all* free! Templot works well with Wine, but I've only got it going in read-only mode at the moment.... Cheers Richard posted: 1 Mar 2008 00:42 from: Ashley I use 10.4.11 and Templot using Virtual PC.

What you didn't say is that you had put a hi-res version in the Image Gallery, so I've had a go at brightening it up a bit: 2_290431_290000000.jpg If you view this in the Image Gallery at: http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_gallery_single.php?display=ALL&page=237#gallery_top and click a couple of times, you can see the full hi-res version and read the signs.

575. NBR special chairs
... Graham posted: 20 Apr 2017 21:47 from: Bruce M Further to the above posts, I was able to take a trip to Leuchars today and was delighted to discover that the old sidings are refreshingly clear of greenery, allowing me to get a couple of photos. As can be seen, the chairs are used at the rail joints. The first item of interest is that the chairs, which are of the same pattern as the 1922 ones spotted by Graham, appear to be marked 1933! So, cast 10 years after the demise of the NB. The rails are 45' long and the plain chairs are NBR 4 hole units, so I would imagine that this is late NB mainline rail in reused chairs. The second thing that is of interest is that on a fair length of the siding, about 1 in 4 sleepers and chairs have recently been replaced with modern substitutes! This is presumably a minimal replacement to keep the track up to supporting ECS during major golf events at St. Andrews. So NBR rail and chairs ...
576. scaling buttons
... Templot most of the dialog windows have had scaling buttons: 2_170857_410000002.png These buttons have had little comment over the years. So either they work exactly as required, or no-one ever uses them. (Apart from the predictable complaint that the buttons are the wrong way round -- you can't please everyone. The up button shrinks the window up towards the top caption bar, the down button expands it down away from the top caption bar.) Each click changes the scale of the dialog window in the ratio 9:10 or 10:9. This is the minimum you can go down to: 2_170857_410000001.png And this is the maximum you can go up to: 2_170857_400000000.png The reason I'm writing about this now is the recent introduction of some very high resolution small screens, such as on the Surface Pro 3 from Microsoft, and similar tablet computers running a full version of Windows. I would be interested to know if anyone is running Templot on one of these, and how you get on with these scaling buttons? Do they help to see ...
577. A Tutoral needed!
... of check rail working length and 2 sizes of check rail extension length, according to the V-crossing angle. These sizes are preset in increasing lengths, but can be set to be all the same, or to any desired lengths. Here is a summary of the way these sizes are used according to the current crossing angle: V-crossing check rail check rail wing rail angle: working length: extension length: reach length: under 1:6 size 1 size 1 size 1 1:6 to 1:10 size 2 size 1 size 1 over 1:10 to 1:12 size 2 size 2 size 2 over 1:12 size 3 size 2 size 2 In the majority of cases, the check rail extension length is the same dimension as the wing rail reach length, so that the far end of the check rail is aligned with the end of the wing rail, but this can be changed as necessary by entering the appropriate dimensions. These dimensions for the wing and check rails should be entered in full-size ...
578. Wantage Scan & Plan
... topic: 431 Wantage Scan& Plan posted: 10 May 2008 14:48 from: Martyn Grainger Harrison Thanks to Martin for explaining how to save a "scan and plan" image Having never really played with Templot to produce something useful, I sat down and spent yesterday afternoon with a scan of Iain Rices' plan of Wantage. I very soon discovered that there were one or two seemingly impossible bits of formation, however I have produced something that may be workable. I have altered slightly the alignment and length of a couple of sidings, but nothing too drastic. See what you think of the attached. Oh, by the way I won't be building Wantage as such, but using the track plan and architecture from North Worcestershire to create the Belbroughton Tramway. Locos will be from High Level Models.

... sorry, this font size is hard-coded, there isn't a setting to change it. I made the corner texts intentionally small because they are within the finished template area and might obscure important detail if too large. Note that the page number is also printed in a larger font outside the trim margin in the bottom left corner. The best I can suggest is that you read that and write it on the template area before trimming off the margins. No-one has mentioned this before, and when I coded it 10 years ago it looked fine. Looking at it again now with eyes 10 years older (my eyes are the same age as yours ), I can see that it might be a problem. I will do something about this in the next upgrade. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Nov 2009 21:05 from: Gordon S Thanks for your quick reply Martin.
