... topic: 2797 GW concrete block and steel tie bar track work posted: 30 Nov 2015 22:27 from: mikewturner Hi guys Firstly apologies as am not really sure of the correct terminology for this type of track but can anyone point me in the right direction for details of block size, spacing etc etc. I assume that standard 2 bolt chairs were used?

Regards Mike I'm afraid that I can't help you directly, but I do have an LNER (GE Section) drawing of a proposal to use timber blocks instead of sleepers for siding renewals. Would that be of use or interest? John, from 33820 St Ciers sur Gironde posted: 5 Dec 2015 10:15 from: alan@york ...

Note that diagram mode isn't available for the control template, it's for background templates only. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Jan 2017 15:32 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Martin, no it wasn't printing Templot templates that was causing me grief (should have been clearer on that) but sketchboard, anyway I figured out how to do it by trial and error. Untick the update automatically for diagram and update manually, voila!

Hi Alan, Sure, generally it's prototypical to do anything which fits, if the lines are needed. Did you mean something like this? 2_290840_420000000.png I added the signal box because it looks like a busy junction for the signalman.

609. 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: ...
... 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 load an image of what I've got so far but maybe the above is enough to be clear what I'm asking. Maybe anyone can refer me to instructions elsewhere on the Forum that tell me what to do? posted: 20 Jun 2019 10:30 from: Ariels Girdle The map you have ought to have a scale on it. If so, you can easily work out how big a model would be without using Templot. I tend to draw 300mm grid on a copy of the map. That way it is very easy to visualise how big it would be. posted: 20 Jun 2019 11:49 from: Julian Roberts Yes of course, Ariels. I think it's the NLS 50" map. Assuming it is,there are convenient grid lines ...

612. 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.

BGS file attached for you to look at. I made an assumption on the overall size but you can scale it down( or up) if you wish. Hi Rob, Snap!

... topic: 2378 SER Trackwork ca 1880 posted: 17 Jan 2014 16:49 from: newport_rod I'm putting a plan together for a friend who's interested in the SER ca 1880, a subject of which I know nothing. For the track work specs I'm guessing something like this: 9' sleepers, Plain track- 12" wide sleepers at rail joints, 10" wide elsewhere Turnouts- 12" wide timbers 30' rail length Straight-cut switches Turnout timbers perpendicular to axis of turnout BH rail Anybody know (or care to conjecture) whether I'm close or not?

... //www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f =5 &t =6066 and I've been thinking about the future of Templot. There is clearly no point in the internet check on start-up, it has failed. It will be removed in the next program update. In the meantime it can be defeated on the current version of Templot2 as follows: 1. on the first splash screen click the small TM trade mark symbol before you click anything else. 2. the colour dialog will appear. Set red=10, green=20, blue=30, click OK. 3. click GO in the usual way. 2_030905_020000000.png Martin. posted: 3 Oct 2018 16:18 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I have mixed feelings about this post, but mostly sadness. On the one hand, the ability to defeat the internet check was one reason, probably the main reason, for my interest in the open versions of Templot in the event of the proverbial bus. On the other hand, it's incredibly sad that someone demonstrating ...
... You will see that only if you are adding templates from a file. There is no reason to add duplicate templates from a file because you can easily copy the one you already have, if needed. I can manually modify every turnout but for a layout 70' x 22' some short cuts are desirable! You don't need to do that, but to explain we need a bit more information about your MR data. Please post your .box file as an attachment here if you can. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Oct 2018 11:58 from: Graeme Lewis Martin Thanks for your very quick response. I had thought that having saved a turnout as a file I could then simply add it ad infinitum- however copying it works well- the only snag being with a large layout it can sometimes be difficult finding the right turnout to copy! I attach a box file for my version of a MR A7 turnout. (By the way, I had never considered using A switches until I corresponded with a retired BR perway engineer. ...
... topic: 2375 O Gauge Lambourn Revisited. posted: 10 Jan 2014 19:48 from: Devonian Hello Martin, Following your invaluable, nay, essential advice re uploading track-plan (Nov) I got it right on the second attempt. Not bad for someone who usually can't be bothered to read instructions. I can retrieve it from Templot_Dev OK but the graph lines are no longer superimposed? What have I overlooked? My previous attempt was about 85% finished over eight years ago with hand built track and all buildings completed. I found out several months later when briefly returning from a terminal matrimonial dispute that it had been thrown out. Two years work went up the creek. Luckily, rolling stock and most of the buildings came to me unharmed. Being of bloody-minded bent, I am now ready to start again. The top left point is the only 'conventional' one. The others are curved (some only very slightly) one way or the other but I successfully adapted C&L plans to the desired configuration. ...

I do this by eye, checking with a steel rule that i have it even. once done, release the blade and bend it so that the tapered side is straight.
