... really a massive thanks to Martin. Having been constantly disappointed at the layouts possible with off the shelf track, especially for the busy (real) goods yard I'm looking to model, I'm now really excited at the prospect of producing some super slinky permanent way once I get fully to grips with things! posted: 27 Oct 2014 21:02 from: Paul Boyd I think this post should be compulsory reading for all those who post everywhere on the internet except here something along the lines of "I've been using Templot for 10 minutes now and I still can't design Clapham Junction using Peco track therefore Templot is rubbish." It's heartening for me to read this and I'm only a Templot user posted: 27 Oct 2014 22:29 from: DerekStuart I would like to agree with Dharma66's post. I have had a copy of Templot for about 2 weeks and still not a expert, but getting better and have produced several quite detailed designs on it and each time I learn something new. Well done to Martin- and of course to all the ...
... by increasing the track centres the V crossings have now moved to a position where they 'line up' with the diamond V crossings so cannot be checked correctly. Let me have another go before you spend your time taking a look. People say Templot is a hard program to use, I don't agree. I have no problem using Templot. The hard bit is being your own track engineer and designing workable formations, its like solving a 3-D puzzle! Strangely addictive though. Julian posted: 28 Oct 2014 01:10 from: Tony W Hi Julian. I had a quick look last night and the general layout appears much better. I will let you have another go but offer a little tip. By making small adjustments to the track spacing, (and I mean fractions of a mm) you can alter the way the timbers line up with those on the next track when generating a crossover. Say for instance the crossing timbers are 1mm out of line with each other for a 1 in 8 crossover altering the track centres by 1 ...
... holds the rail upright" since as soon as you remove the gauge the chairs will tilt the rail inwards (as they are supposed to) therefore making the track under-gauge. I would suggest that you do not use "Roller Gauges" to construct "Scale" trackwork (ie with a 1:20 cant). You should use the EM or P4 type three point type. The Roller Gauge is only suitable for rail soldered to copperclad where the rail is upright.

... doesn't require a switched diamond within the slip. I have no idea how to get rid of the pesky curve that makes itself evident whenever I make a branch track. Once I get the straight diverging road set up I think I'll be able to follow the video for diamonds within transitions, and then afterward I'll insert a slip road. To illustrate, this is the general arrangement made with the default curving when using regular common crossings: undefined (image also attached below) Quentin Attachment: attach_2316_2909_P4_test_4a.jpg 306 posted: 8 Aug 2016 10:48 from: Martin Wynne Hi Quentin, Welcome to Templot Club. I'm not sure what you are asking for. You seem to have achieved the classic trailing slip crossover connection to a yard, all on a nice gentle curve. It's very likely that most such prototypes would be exactly like that. Which part do you want to be straight? The diverging road of a turnout can never be dead straight, you will always have the switch deflection angle from the main road, with the corresponding set in the stock ...

Martin you have been working so hard, and the extensive amount of information is both fascinating and goes a long way to explain some of the running issues that have plagued several members of our On30 group who have some of the larger x-6 -x, x-8 -x and x-10-x locos -- these run fine on the main but can be troubled by the turnout. I have also been busy, working on the RH Peco clone, and I almost got it (more by luck than judgement) with all the timbers and the rails in the right place apart from the knuckle and the point of the V. More study and training needed i think. I also found that the 19.4'' radius was the only match, not surprising really, although some retailers have it noted as ...

... topic: 2770 Problems with updated templot posted: 1 Nov 2015 10:30 from: madscientist Updated yesterday to latest version I run under a Windows 7 parallels box on a Mac I notice two issues I do t think I've seen before 1. Lots of drop down menus have" extra" blank spaces ie a menu item would have 1 blank clickable space above and below. Maybe this is by design 2. The other strange thing, is the right click, menu( IE the one with X& M( make the template etc). Now pops up at the extreme left of the screen, it doesn't seem to be movable. I often have desktop widgets there and the menu appears under everything( that's correct) Can that menu be customised as to where it pops up, on a big 27" mac the menu often ends up miles away from the application window Dave Last edited on 1 Nov 2015 10:32 by madscientist posted: 1 Nov 2015 11:16 from: Martin Wynne madscientist wrote: I notice two issues ...

574. Templot on Mac
... topic: 2759 Templot on Mac posted: 16 Oct 2015 19:16 from: roythebus I've read on here before it's not possible to run Templot on a Mac, but would it be possible to run it on a Mac using Parallels software? This can apparently run all Windows reliant programs, but would I also have to install windows as well to run Templot? I'm really fed up with Windows software, my Compaq running Windows 7 has become so slow it's almost unusable, and I really can't get to grips with Windows 10, hence the change to Apple Mac. posted: 16 Oct 2015 19:51 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roy, Lots of Templot users are running Templot on a Mac.

... action should be available (adjust V-crossing entry straight). Will be fixed in the next update. It's not often an irregular half-diamond has a regular V-crossing, but it can do -- for example when it is required to form a crossover with a regular turnout: 2_110840_390000000.png Adjusting the crossing entry straight then allows some fine tuning of the lead length to fit the site. For example in the above screenshot the irregular diamond-crossing has angles 1:7.5, 1:8.5, 1:10. The 1:8.5 K-crossing angle means the K-crossings will need to be movable (switch-diamond), requiring point-motors awkwardly close to the baseboard joint. By increasing the crossing entry straight (see the marker, boxed yellow -- it would normally be near the V-crossing) I was able to shorten the half-diamond a bit. I then snaked (CTRL+ F6) the other half-diamond back into alignment with it. Note that I put the peg on ...

I've cheated a bit by roughing it out in AnyRail, but without any proper turnouts, which I am planning on building myself. I've spent 6 or 7 hours with Templot and gone forwards and backwards in equal measure. I can see the potential, it's just utterly unlike any program I've used before! Anyway, I've found a really useful function to create turnouts with parallel exits- brilliant!! But I want to put another turnout on the turnout side,and it won't let me, because of the Vee I've used. can anyone give me a shove in the right direction?

Help dialogue says to turn generator menu on Turn Generator menu on Click Generator-Use skeleton settings Click generator-generator settings- From this menu I can sucessfully: Switch timber outlines on and off Switch timber infill on and off Switch outline extensions on and off BUT Clicking timber centre lines has no effect although the menu item shows as ticked Another point Clicking Real-Rails-Timber Surface Centre Line Only brings up the same help dialogue box as Clicking Real-Rails-Head Centre Line. Which is where we came in. Clicking Head Only or No Rails does exactly that. What am I not doing that I should be? Best regards Charles Using Windows ...

... radius as it should be so you can test the result against the template, but we are not looking for exactitudes here- certainly not in your chosen gauge(!). If you make the crease too sharp (and I have seen all kinds of horrors suggested as means to that pointless end) you create the certainty that the back of the flange will strike the inside of the opposite wing rail- exactly not what we want. Hope that helps.
