... right (# 2) monitor. And of course use #2 for reference material. That avoids the main drawing window being split across the middle by the monitor separation, and keeps the drawing window from being cluttered with stuff. Of course this approach only works with programs that do not constrain the auxilliary windows and menus to be within the frame of the main drawing window. As an example, Adobe Photoshop works particularly well in this mode. I would LOVE if the Templot Zoom/Pan and Information windows could be moved outside of the pad frame, i.e., independantly to the second monitor. Storage Box and and of course the Control Panel already float. There may be other pop-up windows as well that I'm not thinking of, but those two are the ones that seem to get in the way the most and are constantly getting moved. [Yea, I know, I can temporarily hide or minimize those already, but that kind of defeats the point.] The ONLY ones worth doing this to are the ones that get ...
42. flat bottom rail
... canted rails. No Cant, you get excessive wear on coned wheels and major hunting at speed. Hence the original construction savings for most NG lines that had a real economic and time dependent purpose (other than being preserved), disappear quite quickly, once ongoing maintenance costs become an issue. The UK is hardly a good example of a country having prolific, economically driven independent NG lines. I can't tell if the photo of the old US yard was originally colour, or colorized later. The box cars (ALL wood outside framed) indicate the picture was taken no later than the early 30's, but the side tracks were probably laid in the 1910's, if not earlier than that. Back then, the need for cant in a very slow running environment would have been underestimated. It's not clear than the central track is untieplated, but one assumes it's just another yard track, as it isn't raised any higher.

... . This is done to resist rail creep with "T" or flat bottomed rail. The spikes are offset, the ones located in the 'four foot', or on the inside of the rails, leads in the direction of travel. As the RH&DR has a double main these are spiked in opposite directions. On single track the 'anchor dogging' will be leading in the direction of travel by the heaviest loading or going down hill. It is possible that on tighter curves there will be two spikes on the outside of the outer rail. This is to take the extra force applied on curves. I haven't seen a picture of their curves so don't know if this occurs, but you should keep it in mind. They also appear to stagger two outer and one inner spike at the stations and multi directional track that takes a starting load. The HO modelling method of spiking each side of the track opposite doesn't actually happen in real life all that much. The crossings are a bolted crossing. The bolts go through the rails and ...
... topic: 3660 changes in 226a -- 2. peg positions for outside slips posted: 6 May 2020 06:31 from: Martin Wynne There are two new fixing peg positions, OSXP and OSMP: 2_060123_450000000.png These make it a lot easier than previous methods to get an outside slip road aligned and to establish the V-crossing angles and positions. At least for a regular diamond-crossing: 2_060354_000000000.png That's a 1:4.5 diamond with A-7.75 turnouts. I have made a bit of video to explain the process: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=3o4-PiKKPVaAXZsePJOwSA2 For shorter diamonds the same procedure can produce the type of half-scissors where the switch deflections are in the side road: 2_060339_590000000.png But again only for a regular diamond (both roads the same radius). The above was a 1:3 crossing with A-6.75 turnouts. (We don't actually have a name for a half-scissors with the switch deflections in the side road like a slip. A normal half-scissors has the ...
... my thinking cap today. At present Templot does almost everything you need, but not necessarily in the most convenient and easily remembered way. For example if you were to remember to update the project title with a version number before printing, it would appear on every printed page, like this: 2_131025_540000000.png 2_131026_450000000.png You could if you wished edit the project title to match your file name, and you would then have the very information on the printed pages which you were asking for. It appears twice on each page, inside and outside the trim margins. The font-size for the small text is adjustable in the output menu, but if you make it too large you risk obscuring the template details. I think it would be convenient to have an option to edit the project title from within the print and PDF output functions, making it easier to remember to do so. I will look at adding that. Separately from all that, every template has a name, which could be edited to include a revision number. And a serial number. ...

... 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.

And how do I get the invisible templates onto the background? 1129_160311_190000000.png Many thanks, Howard posted: 16 Jul 2019 10:25 from: Martin Wynne Hi Howard, I think you have accidentally pressed SHIFT+ END, indicated by the fact that the top buttons have gained a pale green background. Press it again. See: 2_051958_200000000.png Any background templates which are entirely outside the boundary rectangle are not shown on the trackpad. This is intended to speed up screen response when you are working on a small part of a large track plan. More explanation of that here: topic 3207 p.s. your post reads a bit oddly. I know the working of the storage box is a mystery to many, despite my several attempts to explain it over the years.

I have been having a look at your box file. Whilst I appreciate that yours is a minimum space project, some of your curves are very tight. Converting the Diamond into a Slip will produce a slip road with a radius of just under 24 inches. I have just tried it. A larger curve can be produced by using an outside slip, but there is not the room to fit one in at the current track spacing. There is though an alignment problem between your sector plate track and the Diamond template. See attached file for the difference when altered. I can help you with the Slip if you get stuck.

Works fine if the storage box is still within the main Templot window. Last edited on 29 Jan 2018 15:52 by richard_t posted: 29 Jan 2018 16:31 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, Have you got the trackpad window dragged off to the right? The data panel is a child window of the trackpad, so can't go beyond it and normally appears at the right-hand side of it. If you set the trackpad smaller, the data panel will appear nearer to the left. Or you can drag it to wherever you want it within the trackpad. All seems to be working as intended here. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Jan 2018 17:09 from: richard_t Ah sorry, it's when the storage box is on another screen from the main ...
... topic: 3766 Checkrail on the outside of a curve posted: 12 Sep 2020 21:50 from: DerekStuart Hello all In this picture from the late David Hey's collection (originally Yorkshire Post) there's an example of a left hand curve (quite tight- maybe 5 chains or so) and it has a checkrail, but on the outside of the curve. It is on the lead up to a diamond crossing which is estimated to be 1:2 or 1:3, but it's well clear of the diamond's own check rails. Also it might be just a trick of the angle, but it looks instead of being flared horizontally, it has been 'ramped' downwards. It could be a derailer, but on the other side of the diamond there are already trap/ catches... and there's no obvious link to this rail. Any ideas? Answers on a postcard. No prizes, except being called a clever person. Derek It might help if I add the link... http://davidheyscollection-static.myshopblocks.com ...
... from: Martin Wynne p.p.s. just realised that the thick centre-lines option excludes the platforms. I will do a program mod to fix that. Anything else which needs to be included? Martin. posted: 15 May 2020 09:54 from: Gordon S Other than the facility to add text etc, platforms will be fine. I had to make some further changes this morning as the bay platform was too far to the left, meaning the crossovers above would have been inside the platform area, whereas they are outside.

... topic: 465 Curved Scissors Crossover posted: 20 Jun 2008 16:50 from: phileakins Hi Folks I've been playing around with the layout design and though that a scissors crossover would be useful. As nothing in the design is actually straight- it had to be curved! I have found a photo of a prototype so I haven't completely made it all up. Thanks to Paul's outside slip .box file (thanks Paul) I worked out how partial templates worked, and here it is for your comments and, more importantly, criticisms. My main difficulty now is that I can't see how to provide the proper check rails for the lower left 'V' crossing on the opposite rail, the V of the left side of the diamond crossing is too close. Cheers.

... topic: 2589 Track Spacing in Stations posted: 3 Dec 2014 23:55 from: Godfrey Earnshaw I base my trackwork designs on the accepted default recommended distances of 6ft and 10ft separation. By this I mean straight parallel tracks will have a nominal 6ft way and tracks then the tracks outside this will have a 10ft way as will goods sidings. However, I also separate my tracks by 10ft in passenger stations, including terminals. This is my assumption, based on the possible requirement for staff to need access to couplings and hoses when joining/separating vehicles. Is my assumption correct?

... the box file of where I've got to so far, the transition curve should be using dummy1 and dummy2. I've made the two dummies full circles to make sure that they don't overlap, but however close they are, I can't get what I need. 2341_011458_350000000.png The above should show how the curve ends up. I can vary the start and end points of the transition, but I can never get the] anywhere near where it needs to be. Once that is done, I'll want to put another one around the outside of that.

The curves come closest within the turnout, i.e. outside the plain track template boundary. So the transition zone extends each side of that location, not wholly within the plain track template. I think this is what you are trying to achieve. I re-positioned your B-7 turnout slightly for a better join with the inner ...

I'm pretty new to Templot and been playing around with it for a while but i'm still struggling with a few bits.. Having taken the plungle in building my own track and just started a new exhibition layout i'm having a bit of a job setting out some point work. Mainly an outside slip with a diamond attatched to it. Could someone point me in the right direction to making this possible... Hopefully the file will be attatched to this post so you can see what i mean. Many thanks Andy Attachment: attach_1337_1813_Herstmonceux.box 318 posted: 29 Jan 2012 20:41 from: Alan McMillan Hi Andy I've run something up for you. An outside slip was never going to work in that tight space, so I took the liberty of replacing it with a single turnout and a double switched diamond slip. I also eased the curve to make it less like it hand been built using Peco Setrack. ...

... show_bug.cgi?id=26503 There doesn't seem to be an obvious solution at present. I will see if I can find some way round it. I also cannot see most of the file details when opening a file, yet can sort them by, for example, the date. That is just weird! I'm also seeing this, for all applications I've tried on Wine, not just Templot. At present I can't find any info about this. I can only add that Templot is a Windows program, and if used outside of Windows there are going to be niggles such as these. By and large it runs very well on Crossover/Linux/Wine and is certainly fully usable for its intended purpose. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Dec 2012 12:41 from: Simon Dunkley Martin Wynne wrote: Is it possible this tool is overriding the normal automatic control of fan speed according to CPU temperature?

... too. As I mentioned, there is only one section, about 6 to 8 inches in length which causes us problems. I'm pretty sure from memory the track centres there were 85mm. If that is correct, and taking the 84.2mm minimum from the GOG data sheets, then there is only 0.8mm leeway with our 85mm. As Mike has pointed out, loose tolerances in wheelsets/bogies will in fact easily negate the minimum spacing. The trouble was ends of coaches on the inside curve catching the overhang of coaches on the outside curve. Only 6 months before it all gets ripped up though ;-) Ian posted: 20 Feb 2012 22:29 from: Tony W Hi Martin. Here are copies of the spreadsheet I use, worked out from first principles, which uses the same formula as Mike. This produces results very much in agreement with the figures published by the late Derek Genzel in the Scalefour Society digest. In looking at the figures for the EM track at 24" radius giving a throw of 6.67mm, this is similar to ...
