561. Is my Slip workable?
... .. EDIT: ah, see what you mean, the two points not already built are now 9ft and it all fits in better- cheers Martin Attachment: attach_1225_1673_4gig2_slip2.box 267 Last edited on 1 Nov 2011 16:57 by RedgateModels posted: 2 Nov 2011 11:49 from: RedgateModels Been doing more fidding, redone the slip again with a Size B semi REA as the basis (with A slip) and done some more tidying. Getting better methinks but would appreciate feedback Attachment: attach_1226_1673_4gig2_slip2.box 292 posted: 5 Mar 2012 08:38 from: RedgateModels Those who saw me at the Mansfield Show would have seen the double slip under construction. Very happy with the results, although the sleepers need gapping and tiebars adding, but a parkside wagon runs through it really well, so should do the job! blogentry-6717-0 -19405300-1330887824_thumb.jpg Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

562. Turnout radius
... :45 from: Martin Wynne jeckardt wrote: Okay, I'm seriously embarrassed... hadn't even considered that the templot parameters were being quoted in mm. Hi Joe, No need to be embarrassed. The UK mix of metric and imperial dimensions must look very confusing from the US. There are not too many Templot users in 15mm/ft scale (1 :20.3). Is that narrow-gauge, the switch radius is very sharp for standard gauge? regards, Martin. posted: 6 Apr 2009 22:08 from: jeckardt Martin Wynne wrote: There are not too many Templot users in 15mm/ft scale (1 :20.3). Is that narrow-gauge, the switch radius is very sharp for standard gauge? Yes, it's what we call "Fn3" (i.e., 3-foot narrow gauge on 45mm track, 1:20.3 (15mm/ft) scale). In my case, all of the turnouts will be stub switches. (Martin, you have already given me some pointers in a ...
... ways look fantastic just the job, gonna print them out later What was odd about the top left point? (and no it wasn't built- and in fact what I have made for the top is being replaced). posted: 3 Feb 2012 03:04 from: Katier As you can see the lower 3-way has done the trick perfectly. Plenty of room now and 3 trucks (probably 4 at a push) can easily be shunted into the coal drops. 6809915175_ee3cd69c2c_b.jpg posted: 3 Feb 2012 16:08 from: Tony W Katier wrote: Hi Tony, What was odd about the top left point? (and no it wasn't built- and in fact what I have made for the top is being replaced). Hi Katier. The turnout I was refering to toward the top left of the plan, the diverging road had a rather strange reverse curve in it which I have managed to cure by changing the switch and crossing angle without changing the overall length very much. It just looks better. If you wish to ...

565. Straights and bends
... by about 12". I want to join these with an s bend to form a single track and then add some turnouts along the length. Hi Ray, For that you use the slewing functions. You need only the first template, discard the second one. Extend the first one, then you can set the position, length, and amount of slew by mouse action: slew_marks.gif Full notes at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm#slewing regards, Martin. posted: 6 Jan 2012 13:08 from: r_wilton Thanks for the quick replies. Martin, i did look at the slewing function but was put off by the notes as I want to add a 3 way turnout and double slip along the length of the s bend. (i might be a bit ambitous here) I've now found by moving the peg along the straight i can use the s curve transition to get across to the other straight section. I think all i need then is a transition from the other straight to s curve. I'll post ...

... headshunts to do this can't also be used to contain parked wagons. 3) The space is tight for O gauge but I would be tempted to try and ease the radius of some of the turnouts and go a little more across the corner of the room rather than across and down. Regards Rob 4) The timbers can be shoved around when you have the plan right so don't worry about this at this stage. There are lots of track planning books around to give you ideas for layouts. posted: 5 Jan 2012 08:39 from: Jim Guthrie Rob Manchester wrote: 2) There is a lot of shuffling back and forward to get wagons down to the good shed and the sidings used as headshunts to do this can't also be used to contain parked wagons. There were a few ways of moving wagons around in goods yards- e.g. using pinchbars and horse power- instead of "normal" shunting with a locomotive. These methods are difficult to reproduce on a model railway layout but one other method was chain or rope shunting, ...
567. TDV
... the work pad I have, until now, just hit F7 on the keyboard. However with the TDV if I do this Templot immediately shuts down and reverts to the desktop. Hi Dick, Many thanks for the report. I think F7 must be a hot-key in Linux or Wine because there is no difference in TDV to explain this. If you are using a laptop, what happens if you hold down or toggle the Fn key? Anyone else seeing this? regards, Martin. posted: 7 Jan 2012 08:43 from: dickc Hi Martin, Many thanks for your quick response. No, I have only a rather ancient desktop PC. It's just strange that I have never had this phenomenon using Ubuntu with previous releases. I still have 0.91c on my hard drive and reverted just to check. F7 on the keyboard works fine! Although I prefer Ubuntu, I can boot to Windows XP and using this the F7 key works with no problem. I use Templot only occasionally and I am more than happy with the wonderful ...
... switches so that you can't reverse the first unless the second is also reversed. Another way is to change the wiring slightly- there is a diagram in Scalefour Society digest 24.5.1, which I've used and it does work. Essentially, the farthest crossing is fed from either the stock rail/ blade/ closure rail leading to it, or from the near crossing, depending on which way the second switch is set. Hope this helps- I'll post a diagram tomorrow if this is incomprehensible!

The problem you get is that if you set the first switches to the leftmost route and the second to the rightmost, then both left and right roads (but not the ...

... the earlier version need uninstalling before the installation of a newer version(5053) or does it install ok without. Hi Trevor, There is no need to uninstall anything. If you have a working copy of 091c you can leave it in place and use whichever version you prefer at any time. However, it is not recommended to reload .box files from TDV into 091c. If you have an earlier build of TDV, the later one will simply replace it. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Jan 2012 17:08 from: Trevor Walling Hello, Thanks Martin.Would it be possible to make the latest download available from the older versions instead of just stopping it working or a link to the latest update?

574. Zoom control
... years ago! There is an online example of zooming around the mouse pointer, which is the OS's getamap site( http://www.getamap.ordnancesurveyleisure .co.uk/). No need to register, enter as a "guest", and use the mouse wheel to zoom. Note the mouse pointer isn't moved by the zooming. This is also how AutoCad works. All the best, and glad this might be making it into Templot. Richard.

The bent over ends are put through the holes and secured by hammering in a tapered channel pin. The bond being somewhat smaller than the hole this will be gripped by the insertion of this pin. There is no welding involved with this type of rail bond. I hope that this makes things a little clearer. posted: 3 Mar 2009 08:51 from: richard_t Many thanks for the offical word!
