To explain, these are very useful when printing out the full size template(s ), but if I am a doing a smaller scale printout, then the only option (until now) was to make the markers white. Thanks for the suggestions on adding a turnout-side platform for parallel points, all: I already do this of course, and my request was pure laziness on my part!

... copyright purposes: 2_040506_390000000.png I was pleasantly surprised to find zooming and panning on the trackpad quite fast and smooth. It wouldn't transfer to the sketchboard in the default metafile format -- I got a streaming "out of memory" error, not really surprising. But by changing to the manual option to add the trackplan item in bitmap format, and using the boundary rectangle* option (the green outline above), it did work. This is the sketchboard view: 2_040506_400000001.png However, I couldn't get it into the PDF or print outputs. Partly that's because of the high degree of zoom needed, but also because picture shape bitmaps have to be rotated 90 degrees from the trackpad view to mach the template output -- requiring further large amounts of memory to perform the rotation. I'm going to have another look at the code for including picture shapes in the output, to see if I can reduce the memory requirement, and speed things up. Also to reduce the PDF file size for multiple small pages (which is massive if picture shapes are included ...
623. RH_Curved tandem

There is an example tandem-turnout which you can download and take apart at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/files/martin_stuff/3_way_tandem_EM.box Notes for this file: Example 3-Way Tandem Turnouts on 10 chains radius in EM gauge. B-8 Left+ A-6 Right, the middle V-crossing (crotch frog) is 1:4.95 RAM (1 :5 CLM). Intended for version 0.78.e, but in 0.74.b it will print ok with only minor discrepancies.

... 2093 Help needed to locate original storage box posted: 30 Oct 2012 21:55 from: Mal2085 My apologies if this has already been raised before but I am having trouble trying to find some track plans from some time ago. this is my tale and I hope some knowledgable soul may be able to help and point me in the right direction. I bought Templot a few years ago, plugged away at it and managed to complete a couple of track plans placing them in my storage box. Having achieved the plans I printed one out and put it away for another day in anticipation of making a start on track laying. Regrettably that didn't happen, the track plan looked a bit dog-eared when I found it with some bits missing, in the interim I had also changed my computer. Once again my thoughts turned to the old track plan and I went to the Templot Website. I had not visited templot for many months, possibly years. All had changed, Templot 2 was now the software and so I downloaded it, as ...

Hi Andy, I can't find any evidence for that in any chair drawings or the chair type-designations. See the drawings on this page and the notes at the bottom: http://www.scalefour.org/downloads/gwrtracknotes/R1738.pdf (my copy of this has "Amended 1957... Jun. 1961") at the bottom right). The note makes clear that the L and R in the designation refer to each half side of a single switch. There is no reference to the hand of the entire switch. Indeed there is no need for any different chairs by the simple expedient of skewing the block chair on the timber. This is obviously acceptable practice (despite the slight ...
626. Tandem turnouts
... have what looks like the right rail layout, if I select no timbering, then It almost looks like what I expected. I can't say I can find anything intuitive as the next step. Thanks J posted: 28 Nov 2012 17:29 from: Tony W Hi Julia. You are quite correct that you have 3 templates superimposed on one another (so far). Two full turnouts and a partial template containing just the third crossing. These are quite separate and cannot be combined as one single item, but will print out as if they are one. Where I go from there is to sort out the timbering using the timbering of the third crossing as is and omitting the timbers where they are duplicated on the underlying templates, then lengthen the timbers of the inner switch to match the timber lengths of the other turnout by selecting each turnout in turn and opening the timber shoving window with "Shift F10". To select a timber to alter, put the mouse pointer on the timber number, so it changes colour (Green) and ...

Richard also thanks Jim Guthrie for his help in producing the templates for the layout.

To change to FB rails, click the real> rails> head and foot (flat-bottom rails) menu item: 2_230617_330000000.png To get usable results you need to set the foot width to match the model rail section which you are using. Click the real> rails> rail section data... menu item as above. You won't see any change on the screen, but when printed your templates will show the rail foot lines, like this.

... Scaleway do also- a lot cheaper- though I've read reports of the width being a bit variable. Hope he uses a face mask. The dust from that stuff is not what you want to breath. Nigel Good advice Nigel. I was going to use rail on copper laminate. I even got as far as making a shear to make my own timber strip from sheets of copper laminate. Around that time I bought a 3-D printer and things went a bit tangential when I realized I might be able to print the chairs. Oh well....

... topic: 1068 How to go about drawing this...(scissor crossing?) posted: 9 Mar 2010 21:03 from: rammstein2609 Hi all, I'm currently using Templot to design a P4 version of Edinburgh Waverley station purely for the enjoyment part and curiosity of seeing it printed out. I know for the station alone it scales out at around 38ft long by 6ft wide. Anyway, under the canopy there are two bits of pointwork which I think are called scissor crossing's. I'm unsure if it's possible to draw these in Templot or if I should just draw them as four separate points overlapping each other. I have attached a pic of what I mean. Cheers Martin Attachment: attach_753_1068_point1.jpg 4943 posted: 9 Mar 2010 21:25 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin You can do this in Templot, and the level of detail is up to you.

Hi Paul, That's a good idea and easily done. Thanks for suggesting it. In the next update. But I think that's the first time anyone has ever mentioned using 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.

The method I've always used when images are locked (which will work in any browser) is to make sure the image is fully visible and then press the "Print Screen" key.

633. Questions on the basic fundamentals on prototype (and scale model) turnout dimensions and design met
... example, and to me they are sometimes amazingly accurate and, equally, often, miles out- straights are not straight and curves are not circular! Given that they were never intended to be accurate drawings of the track and that they might have been traced/ copied/ scanned half a thousand times, it might be too easy to over estimate their accuracy. Your example- given that it is coloured- might not have been copied too many times, but does that mean it is an original drawing or a tracing/ print? Do you have any corroborative evidence- photos etc? I have found that counting sleepers of photos is pretty informative when compared with a drawing. I am looking forward to seeing how the tandem turns out!! Best Regards, Howard. posted: 20 Feb 2011 23:52 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Many thanks for your speedy response.

... way to select them is to drag a fence rectangle around them. There is a button for that on the top row: 2_171324_170000000.png It goes green when clicked. You can have only one group selected at a time. But you can easily re-select a previous group by giving the group members a prefix tag on the template name. More about that here: topic 2098 Also what is the sketchboard for? There are two work areas in Templot: 1. On the trackpad you design the details of your tracks and print them out as full-size track construction templates, usually on multiple pages. 2. On the sketchboard you can add details of the scenery and buildings to your track plan to create a colourful full layout plan, usually on a single page. This could be to show to friends, or include in a magazine article or club newsletter, or to post on a web forum such as this, etc. Or you can add colours and labels to make a control panel diagram, say. You can even use the ...

Best wishes, Howard posted: 7 Jan 2013 14:33 from: Trevor Walling Hello, Thanks Howard.You make it all sound so easy.I assume the same processes would apply if one was using dcc? Trevor. posted: 7 Jan 2013 14:57 from: JFS Hello Trevor, Everything is easy when talking in terms of grand principles!! One thing I would add is that Templot makes a lot of these things "easier"- just print off a half size Template then trace all the rails to see where they need to be cut to prevent a short circuit. Since Templot shows the joints, you can work out which ones need to be insulated. My personal experience is with DC but I would not do any different with DCC (except to put a lot more copper in the wires!) since, talking to friends who do use it, it is really helpful to be able to divide everything up into sections for test purposes- even if, ...

The second error is a little more complex as I discovered this whilst doing an irregular diamond crossing for New Street, which had a very sharp (small angled) vee at the one end, this being 1: 3.62 which the layout dictated. When I first tried using F5 to align the diamond to the centre lines of the curves with this small angle, I found the main road wing rail alignment to the vee was grossly out and had to ...
... 2_260808_320000000.png At B you can see that the 6" clearance envelope on the vehicle is conflicting, but the actual body sides are clear with about 6" (2mm) between them. That is a bit tight, allowing for different vehicle dimensions (the above is using the default settings), body sway, wheelset/gauge freedom, offset bogies or axles, and other variables in a model. Prototypically it is too close, but you may decide that it is acceptable to avoid reworking the track plan. You could try printing out the templates and carefully standing your longest vehicles on them to check the running clearance. tools> spacing-ring dummy vehicle menu item: 2_260857_540000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 26 Aug 2014 00:05 from: Tony W Hi Michael.

... I don't know of anyone hand building 3-rail track in 0 gauge, although a few are still using stud-contact. For coarse-scale 0 gauge you may find some of the Gauge 1 track parts from Tenmille Products useful: http://www.tenmille.com You would find it helpful to join the Gauge 0 Guild and ask about 3-rail on their forum: http://www.gauge0guild.com Sorry, there is no direct support for 3-rail in Templot. However, you can represent 3-rail by printing the track centre-line at the same width as the rails (1.6mm for 0 gauge) like this: 2_050438_130000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 5 Oct 2010 18:35 from: Brian Lewis Hi.
