... topic: 3102 Irregular double slip diamond crossing. posted: 10 Oct 2017 06:49 from: Damien Morris As being new to templot, found the video showing how to convert intersection into diamond. Can you then convert the diamond into a double slip? posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:05 from: Stephen Freeman Yes but depends on the angles being sensible of course. posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:10 from: Damien Morris 43e042e20647a2d60012e447214bc442.p ng I'm trying it with the left one, and the angles are really shallow, but I think the one on the right will be tight. But it's only a single slip the 2nd.

... topic 3152 There is a scruff video showing the new functions in use at: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=iYbIr74flWmgsI_8hlsXQQ2 6. The zoom to fit functions have been modified for a better fit on wide screens. For more details see: topic 3143- message 22997 Thanks to Dave Turner for reporting this issue. 7. I have done some further work on the SK5 video downloader to improve error-checking and improve the visual appearance (on Windows). regards, Martin. posted: 15 Dec 2017 07:17 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin, I am a little puzzled by the operation of the "Main-Road exit" function. It allows the lengthening or shortening of the main road but it appears to do very strange things: If the turnout is inserted in a length of track then the main-road exit can only be shortened, in which case, the sleepers are left in position. It cannot be lengthened, beyond the template but the length indication says that it is lengthening. The extension can ...
... is dated with the First Impression as Jan '89. This is not the original plan as I made a minor mod to the access to the Platform at the top of the plan. The original had a stepped platform with the point about 1/3 down the platform. It's one of those plans that has been in the back of my mind for years and years and I am looking forward to making it a reality.

Hi Gordon, If memory serves, and I'm not mixing it up with a different design, it was called "A Thoroughgoing Terminus" and I think it was in a "small-size" pre-A4 Railway Modeller, which puts it pre-1966. The article explained the design concept of the various features. I'm sure someone reading this has a copy ...
... as it will come with a bundled PC (MS Windows) program, full details of all this and more are on my website. I didn't mention this before because the original post was trackwork related rather than anything to do with signals. Of course CBUS will be along from MERG hopefully, more fully developed, next year ready to do all this and more (possibly needing a few tweaks) but that's a thread for another place (Mergcbus Group on Yahoo or MERG's Cbus forum).

I think that the 5/32" 00 has probably gone the same way as the 9/32" 0 and the dinosaurs but you never know, there may still be some diehards out there who get enjoyment out of having to make everything from scratch. I enjoy scratch building but I like to pick my projects- there is not enough time to do everything yourself. Not if you ever want run anything. Glen posted: posted: 29 Jul 2011 07:04 from: Jim Guthrie Wasn't it called Q scale? I remember reading about it many years ago- probably in the Model Railroader. IIRC, it was the US attempt to get a more accurate scale/gauge relationship in 0 scale but by keeping the gauge the same and changing the scale, unlike the UK which keeps the scale the same and has a plethora of gauges. As far as I remember, the track and wheel standards were the same for 1/4" and 9/32" scales ...

If it's a complete realignment of everything, I'll live with it for now until I'm convinced it's the right way to go. I'm interested how you created a solid line and then compressed the plan.

... topic: 3444 Can Templot help design a layout from a map? posted: 20 Jun 2019 09:07 from: Julian Roberts Hi this is my first message on Templot. I've not got a lot of experience with using the Templot downloaded onto my pc, and haven't looked a lot at this Forum, so apologies if I'm asking very basic questions that may have been covered plenty already. I've managed to get a map of the 1967 closed terminus at St Enoch Glasgow onto my Templot screen, but can't see what I should do next. What I am wanting to do first is see how much room it takes in P4 gauge, and from that decide which parts I might find practical to model- at least space wise. After that I'll want to get the actual turnouts to start making them if I can think of any practical way of going ahead. The attraction of the location is that it is in a quite confined area that in total might not take an impractical amount of space for a group of determined modellers. I could ...

52. F7 snapping
... topic: 3066 F7 snapping posted: 25 Aug 2017 23:07 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, It's 11 years since I added the F7 snapping function in Templot version 079a*. In all that time it's been a damn nuisance to me, and I suspect the same applies to many other established Templot users. I know it is easy to prevent it happening (hold down the SHIFT key, or switch it off entirely in the action menu), but I always forget to do that until it is too late. And just occasionally it can be useful as a quick way to get the notch where you want it. Until now I have resisted the temptation to remove it entirely because I know some users do find it useful, and it is helpful for beginners familiar with other track planning programs (the original reason for adding it). But yesterday it snapped on me once too often and I decided enough is enough. So I have given some thought on how to improve matters without losing the default behaviour for beginners, or ...

Its the distance from the the check rail face to the opposite running rail. I know it's a different scale but have a look at 00-SF Yahoo Group to see what I mean and the type of gauge ideal for doing this, ordinary roller gauges are difficult to use for this. posted: 12 Jan 2012 07:05 from: Stephen Freeman In the absence of any correct pattern chairs being forthcoming you might consider the following combination. Plywood timbering with rivets every 4th sleeper and using half chairs of 4 bolt and 2 bolt Exactoscale chairs (C &L 2 bolts are a different shape). Otherwise on the horizon is the possibility of low-cost 3d printing, check out both the BBC News website, where I read yesterday of plans to introduce a $500 printer. I have also stumbled across something called 'reprap Mendel'. ...

Well, perhaps worrying, but not all that surprising (though I confess this is the first time I have seen this particular viewpoint!) I've been trying to work out why that might be. I think it's that if I see: abc:=123; I see only 2 things, an object and its value, like an adjective describing a noun: hot water. The := operator is read as punctuation. All my brain needs to do is associate the object with its current value. Whereas if I see: abc := 123; I see 3 things, the := operator becomes a word in its own right, not merely punctuation, and the line demands to be read as a full sentence: the water is hot. Which not only takes much longer, but seems to ...

However when I place thecrsil in the jig at the 7 position I don't get more than 6.5mm right through never mind to half web as the instructions show. Am I doing something wrong? Does it matter?

... i use for that I guess! How can I get Templot to model the layout and produce the templates based around Code 83 flat bottomed rail on concrete sleepers? What do I need to changed, and indeed, is it actually possible? Are there any other differences to take into account that people can advise me about? Any help, pointers and general advice would be welcomed! I've used Templot and learnt how to do a couple of small layout designs but this one is more elaborate! Richie posted: 5 Oct 2017 07:53 from: Phil O Hi Richie Welcome to Templot Club. Yes it's possible to do the things you require in Templot. When you open up Templot you will get a non standard gauge turnout to alter this to EM go to the GAUGE menu and select 18.2 EM, all your templates will now be in EM gauge. To alter the rail from Bullhead to Flat Bottom, go to the REAL, RAILS and select HEAD& FOOT and your templates will be in flat bottom. When I construct fiddle yard track ...

Templot is one of the most rewarding software packages I have ever used and I'm very happy to show anyone my shortcuts. It really is very easy. Support from Martin is first class and I would hate to see that suffer preparing a manual that will will be of little use to many. Getting into the programme quickly is the key and that probably is the element that is missing for me.

During that time I have needed the on-line tutorials for only two aspects: making a slip, and joining two curves using the make transition technique ...
