... turnout; Delta- Deltas were a specific unit, they were available in different rail weights and crossing numbers (7.52, 8.7 etc) just like the other crossings. Two were used in a double crossover when the track centres were 11'8", if the spacing was a little greater then only one was used (the other side had 2 Vs and a K) and if the tracks were widely spaced then no deltas were used. Are these terms used elsewhere in the world? Mark posted: 3 Apr 2013 21:10 from: Phil O Hi Mark The Great western Railway used the terms compound and Double Compound. Check and Guard rail are still used and are often interchangeable. I've not heard of Delta or Deltas. Cheers Phil posted: 3 Apr 2013 23:34 from: Laidlaym Thanks, the colonial government took on a certain I K Brunel as some sort of representative in the old country, maybe he is responsible for the use of compound.

602. Cutting Rail joints
... The same page in the Walsh's catalogue to which Howard's link takes you shows a TS121 which appears identical to my Eclipse PS51 and costs only £5.80! This can't be much more than what I paid for the Eclipse between 30 and 40 years ago and I've always found it a pleasure to use- that style of handle sits very comfortably in my hand. I have always mounted my blades to cut on the push rather than the pull stroke. Is that wrong? Seems to work for me. posted: 23 Nov 2014 10:07 from: alan@york Pulling is better, and gives a more even cut than cutting on the push; at least for wood.

However, if you do need that: 1. copy the turnout to the control. 2. click tools> make split> make plain track turnout road> on external geometrical radius menu item.

The toolbar is disregarded in the zoom calculations. The overall track plan size is calculated and then increased by 15% to allow for some margin space, and then fitted to the full trackpad client area. How close this comes to the top of the screen depends on the relative aspect ratios of the track plan and the screen area. Often track plans are wide and narrow on the screen, ...

609. Update problem
... : 8 Oct 2013 00:48 from: Martin Wynne Ian Allen wrote: I did a full Templot removal from my PC and then re-installed and now it opens without any issue. Hi Ian, I don't believe there was any need to do that. If you get that message when I haven't posted any note about a new update, it means the UK server is throwing a wobbly, but hasn't actually gone down. (If it goes down, Templot checks the USA server instead.) Just wait say 10 minutes and then try again. I noticed your messages spanned midnight, so no doubt some sort of server maintenance was in progress. In the next update I have changed the code so that if anything is amiss in the UK server connection, even if it is still up and responding, Templot goes to the USA server anyway. Sorry for any inconvenience. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Oct 2013 10:21 from: Ian Allen Morning Martin, I think it was about 23:45 when it first occurred ...

... topic: 2303 Update problem posted: 7 Sep 2013 08:38 from: Jacques Gerber Hello All: I downloaded and installed Templot 208b. On startup, I'm informed that this is not the latest version, and then Templot closes, and opens the update page, where I get the exact same version, which on installation, repeats the whole process. Any advice? Is something buggy? BTW I'm working on Windows 7. Thanks Jacques Gerber posted: 7 Sep 2013 10:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Jacques, I can't see any problem from here. Anyone else seeing this? I think the problem must be a caching issue at your ISP. I have now edited the file on the server which hopefully will update the timestamp and cause your ISP to re-fetch the cache. Please try again now. If still now joy, please wait a few hours and then try again. Templot checks the USA server only if the UK server fails to respond at all. I will change the code so that Templot won't close without ...
... V-crossing for example gets you to 78.4" with a B-7.5, or lets you revert back to B-7.25. In some places you are using machined check flares, which suggests you are intending these to be flat-bottom? In which case you shouldn't be using the REA bullhead switches for those turnouts. If you go to template> switch options... you will find two ranges of switches for flat-bottom. The range of curved switches in BS-113A rail would be suitable for 10-15 year old track at your period. For your intended shunting operations you will surely need a run-round facility somewhere on-scene? Another crossover near the lower end of the main lines would do that. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Nov 2007 04:48 from: John Lewis BeamEnds wrote: Damn.

613. Storage box
... and have come up with a few what I hope are fairly simple questions. This is one of them. During my wanderings I must have sent something to the storage box. Now when I start up I get the message "Do you want to restore the storage box contents and background drawing from your previous Templot session?" When I go to the storage box it informs me "box empty". How do I delete a template that isn't there according to the storage box? Regards ken posted: 4 Feb 2010 10:06 from: Martin Wynne Kenneth Beckett wrote: Do you want to restore the storage box contents and background drawing from your previous Templot session? Hi Ken, Templot keeps a backup of your work independently of your own files. If you answer "yes" to that question, the empty storage box will be reloaded with the templates that were in it when you quit the previous Templot session. All templates showing on the pad background are stored in the storage box: stored_template.gif The screenshot above applies to 074b. More ...

616. Printing questions
... do you save a print file? I understand how you save a box file of templates. Is this what an external printer will require? Will an external printer need Templot software to read the file? If they don't have the software, how will they calibrate their printer? I was hoping plans could be printed on wide rolls (up to a metre?) to reduce errors. If this is not possible or prohibitively expensive, then I am left with A4 printing on my home printer 2. Can you select say 10 pages at a time or do you have to select all 284 pages and then select from those printed pages once printed? At present it is taking about a minute to print each page when I select a 1/12 size reduction. Will it take say 5 hours to print all 284 pages? My printer is a HP Pro K550. I am really pleased with the plan I have created. Although it has taken many hours to refine, it is infinitely quicker than the several failed attempts I have had to date ...
617. On screen reminders
... , but I thought on screen reminders might be quite useful, as I could put the reminders near to where I need reminding about! Something along the lines of: 499_091058_570000000.png The deluxe version might allow me to colour them/grade them (red/yellow/green), and I'd be able to turn them on/off based on colour/grade. And allow me to include them in print outs (again by colour/grade) (Basically life is a bit busy at the moment, and I only get 10 or 20 minutes Temploting time every-so-often. My last go was with the new clearance envelope changes, which was great. I already knew I had a issue, shown in the screenshot, but I don't have time straight away to solve it. So I thought an onscreen "nag", might help me remember when I have a bit more time to look at it, rather than just forget, and do something else.) Just a thought posted: 9 Nov 2017 18:06 from: ...

At around 15000 x 9000 it really is far larger than anything I have previously imagined using, or tested, in a Templot picture shape, so I'm not surprised there are problems. Much the easiest solution would be to split it into several smaller picture shapes, and place them side-by-side on the trackpad. 4 sections each 7500 x 4500 would still be regarded as large. 9 sections each 5000 x 3000 would be more typical ...

The gist of it is that 406 is a very thin liquid that's formulated for plastics (and rubber), but does act as a good general purpose adhesive. It whips into joints by capillary action very readily. 435 is a ...
