... run round such a sharp curve? Or are you aiming for something like Gn15 -- see: attachment.php?id=177 gn15_1.png You can improve matters a little: 1. reduce the step size -- program> expert> step size... menu item. Try setting 1.0 mm. 2. shorten the vee rails so that the turnout ends just beyond the crossing (as images above). But building it from partial templates is the best solution. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Mar 2013 14:07 from: Stephen Freeman Thanks, thought it'd be something like that, I think any stock would be restricted to very short wheelbases (minitrix hoppers?), I did dabble with 009/HOe some years ago and found that not everything would go round/through the Peco turnouts then available.

... Charnwood). Robert posted: 12 Mar 2013 20:20 from: Glen Suckling Don't think it's granite, the grain size is too small. The red colouration looks superficial and could come from rust. The fracture, grain size and greenish tinge makes me wonder if it isn't markfieldite (a microdiorite from Charnwood). It seems that we all agree on an igneous rock (ie. definitely not limestone). The comment on grain size is a valid point as is the possibility of rust discoloration. Feldspars tend to be pink rather than the orange that I am seeing here which nornally indicates the presence of iron. I would opt for granodiorite in view of some of the darker pieces. Of course identifying rock from a photograph is always tricky and to really confuse things we may actually be looking at a blend. Glen posted: 12 Mar 2013 21:11 from: alan@york It could be limestone: this does not look very different to what I have seen in quarries (eg Carboniferous limestone in the Avon Gorge). There is ...

... , but more difficult on a drawing board. CLM unit angles are used because the rules-of-thumb formulae which are used by the p.w. gang when setting out pointwork on the ground are simplified, and produce closer approximations to the true mathematical result. Nowadays with everything done on computers there is no real need for unit angles, we could work directly in degrees or radians. But tradition dies hard and the unit numbers are brain-friendly and easy to remember. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2013 07:50 from: CoBo Thank you Martin Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... trying to fit an overall roof? It was only necessary to change the middle space -- the idea is that the spacings alternate, 6ft way/ 10ft way. i.e. between your platforms you would have: platform- track- 44.67mm centres- track- 60.67mm centres- track- 44.67mm centres- track- platform And if the platforms were already there when the track was renewed, the centre spacing can be legitimately reduced to 9ft way (56.67mm centres). regards, Martin. posted: 26 Oct 2012 13:07 from: PeterD Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Peter, Thanks for uploading the file.

It's very likely that your friend could print a DXF file from Templot anyway -- see: search Templot Club for DXF regards, Martin. Many thanks, Martin- .box file attached.

These should open and print in the Foxit Reader, or in Adobe Reader 9 or later. It is ESSENTIAL that the printer operator changes the setting to "no page scaling" -- this is not the default. I noticed that the design is unfinished -- I assume this is just an initial planning print? There is a lot of timber shoving still needed, and many templates overlap. There didn't seem to be any reason to print the ...
... ins apart and the projection at each end for the fishplate was 1 ft 1 in. However, I would rather work from evidence than from guesswork, if that evidence is available. Any help would be much appreciated. Bob posted: 27 Dec 2012 22:58 from: Alan Turner The rail is 24ft and with average sleeper spacing of 3ft this gives 8 spaces. Using 8 sleepers the spacing would therfore be: 1ft-6ins, 7 at 3ft and 1ft-6ins.

Hi Alan, I was thinking the same, but Bob says: Contemporary photos show that this permanent way remained in place until at least 1921 and that there were nine sleepers per rail, Are you sure Bob? 1877- 1921 is 44 years -- that's a long time for track to remain unchanged. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Dec 2012 23:12 from: Lynbarn Hi ...

... label shapes. Do you find them useful? For those wondering, it means the template name is part of the background shapes, and therefore gets printed on the template, included in PDF exports and on the sketchboard. I will make removing the tag(s) an option, because someone is bound to want them left on....or would this be an excuse to draw you away from documentation and back to coding? How did you guess that I'm coding anyway? Martin. posted: 23 Nov 2012 22:07 from: Martin Wynne I realise that I can edit the label name before and after creating the label shape at the moment. p.s.

... topic: 2104 f conversion prefix in v: 2.06b posted: 8 Nov 2012 09:44 from: Godfrey Earnshaw I have just tried to put the length in directly by putting "f3" thinking I would get 915mm but instead got 36mm cheers Godders posted: 8 Nov 2012 10:07 from: Martin Wynne Godfrey Earnshaw wrote: I have just tried to put the length in directly by putting "f3" thinking I would get 915mm but instead got 36mm Hi Godfrey, f converts feet to inches, not feet to mm. i converts inches to mm. So to convert feet to mm you need to enter fi or if as the prefix -- fi3 converts 3ft to 914.4mm Always check the units being requested (shown to the right of the entry box) so that you can use the appropriate combination of input conversion letters. This is a change in 206b. In older versions of Templot, the f prefix converted 64ths of an inch to decimal inches. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Nov 2012 10:11 from: ...

... tried to put in some limits, but it's difficult without restricting desired functionality. Note that the video says you must use BMP files for picture shapes. This is no longer the case in Templot2 -- PNG or JPG files are now supported, and they don't need to be in the SHAPE-FILES folder. This doesn't change the amount of program memory needed, but makes the files a bit more manageable. The video is on the list for a revision. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Oct 2012 21:07 from: bambuko Thanks! That's very good news.

When I did Template/Swap End-for-End, puff, the entire turnout re-appeared (see below) and I had to Blank Up To Peg, again. 2480_162217_180000000.png Is there any way to lose the hidden info so I can duplicate it as just a single ended Center Re-Rail template? I can certainly work with this as is, just curious. Mark C. posted: 17 Sep 2012 04:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mark, It's actually much better to do this on the approach track to a turnout rather than the exit track as Paul has it. Then you don't need any blanking (so the turnout part won't reappear), and the normal peg positions CTRL-0 and CTRL-1 can be used. After extending the two check rail ends MS1 and TS1 back into the approach length, put the peg on CTRL-1 and then do> snap to peg menu item. Change the template length ...

... -end. The alignment will also be mirrored to create a full mirror image. When swapping end-for-end the alignment with other templates remains unchanged and the turnout is simply reversed within it. Note also that mirroring changes the hand of a background template but doesn't change its name. So if it was called "LH B-7 to branch bay" it will still be called that even though it is now a right-hand turnout after mirroring. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Aug 2012 23:07 from: Martin Wynne p.s.

... Hi Martin. On the latest (2.05.d), I seem to have a permanently displayed warning regarding a V crossing angle (see attached screenshot). Whilst the text contained in the dialogue displayed when the help button is clicked is clear and understandable, as you will see from the screenshot, there is no highlighted component, so there is no clue as to the errant component. Neither is there a highlight button, or similar, in order to aid speedy identification.
