... topic: 1917 Help needed with Tandem posted: 10 Apr 2012 07:50 from: its_all_downhill Hi all, I have been happily using Templot for some time now and have managed to become relatively proficient with it at least to my needs, but I still have one stumbling block that has gotten the better of me at every attempt! Tandems.... So this Easter weekend I set out to overcome this problem. Setting up 2 laptops so that I could view on one and do on the other, following the tandem video that Martin created. I even wrote out the steps from the video so that I could see each command before using it. I have attached my box file for your perusal and have managed to get as far as placing the third crossing on the the k crossing. Please excuse the ignorance of technical terminology as I have so far happily used Templot in blissful prototypical ignorance. Couple of points that may help me to understand the makeup of the tandem is.. is the creation of the 3rd x-ing ...
... 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. ...
... align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item. However, that works only where the resulting diamond-crossing is flatter than 1:1.5 angle. Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you may be looking for a much shorter crossing than that. In which case you would need to create it manually using multiple partial templates. You also need some detailed prototype data, because there is nothing standard about short-angle crossings, they vary by company, period and location. There is a drawing in this 10-year-old topic, but I don't know how relevant it will be to your prototype: topic 160- message 812 regards, Martin. posted: 11 Apr 2017 21:43 from: Panos Tsirigotis Many thanks posted: 11 Apr 2017 23:06 from: Panos Tsirigotis Is it possible to make a diamond crossing (with flatter than 1:1.5 angle) and one of the two tracks curved?

644. Trying to use NLS
... the exact map I need form NLS. Whilst it seems wonderful and has the map I want, I can't locate it again! I'm after the West London Line from Kensington High Street to the Cromwell Road/A4 bridge to the south on the 25" to the mile series, post-1945. It seems to stretch over 2 maps what I need, but as I said, I can't fathom it out at all. I have the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to computer things. It's taken me 10 years or more to try to work out Templot and have built a layout using it with help from here, but this one has me baffled. Of course I then need to get that copied into Templot. Any help is appreciated. posted: 7 Sep 2020 01:43 from: Martin Wynne roythebus wrote: Good evening, I'm trying to download a map from NLS but can't for the lif of me fathom how to locate the exact map I need form NLS.

647. 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 ...

How do i change the scale/gauge of the whole of an existing track plan? I thought that selecting all the templates as a group and then picking a new scale would have done it. What did I miss?

... topic: 3484 Round type of GWR 2 bolt chairs (4 mm scale) posted: 14 Aug 2019 13:30 from: Hayfield During a chat with Phil today he told me he has unearthed some of the earlier GWR rounded 2 bolt chairs that the GWR used on the concrete sleepers (and I guess elsewhere). C&L now sell the squarer type so whilst stocks last there are some available now from C&L. posted: 31 May 2020 10:56 from: Graham Long Hi I am a little confused about the new C&L chairs. The wording on the website description maybe a bit confusing but I read it as, their new 2 bolt chairs were used until 1926 at which time GWR came up with a 3 bolt design for use on concrete pots. The GWR must have continued using 2 bolt as it is my understanding that the two bolt pattern was used into BR days I have read elsewhere that the C&L were an earlier type, pre 1900, and used for 95 pound rail before ...
... that are not part of the main product roadmap gives little incentive to participate. This link may provide further info on the open source philosophy- especially the section Understanding Community Expectations Templot2 is not a product and it doesn't have a roadmap -- I ceased trading 8 years ago. It is now simply a hobby project of mine which I'm happy to share with anyone who wants it. After 20 years of public Templot I think I have a good understanding of users' expectations. cheers, Martin. posted: 12 Sep 2019 10:00 from: John Clutterbuck Hi Martin, Thanks for your reply. Yes I can appreciate that licensed components do mean that Templot2 can't be opensourced in its current form. I was speculating if the lack of any collaboration is because it is not the main project, however it could equally be that there aren't enough people with the time, skills or inclination to participate. Templot is a wonderful piece of software, unequalled in its functionality and I would hate to see it disappear, however I know I am not alone ...
... over the length of the curve so that the canted wing rails can lie level. They should be fractionally above the level of the vee nose to allow for the coning angle on the wheels, but that is done by removing metal from the vee top** (3 /16" at the tip, running out in 15"). See the section through the knuckle in this diagram of an REA bullhead crossing: 2_050420_590000000.png On GWR crossings, the knuckle radius matches the crossing angle in feet. So a 1:10 crossing has a 10ft radius at the knuckle, and so on. On REA crossings (diagram above) the knuckle gap is specified instead, and the rail is curved to a knuckle radius accordingly. For a 1:10 crossing, the knuckle gap is 2.5/32" (i.e. the knuckle gap is wider than the normal flangeway gap of 1.3/4 "). Here's a pic showing an almost as-new bullhead crossing. You can see from the wear pattern on the knuckle radius how the twist ...
... I might presume that bullhead arrangements might have been similar. I won't actually be building this track (it's for someone else) but I think I might have to think of some way of hingeing the short "K" switch blades.

... topic: 861 Can I do the following? posted: 10 Jun 2009 22:09 from: MikeTrice Oh boy, this is going to be a slow learning experience. Any advice regarding learning Templot from recent new users gratefully received. I have found how to override track gauge and check gauge widths. On the other hand I have not found if it possible to do the following: Change sleeper width for both turnouts and plain track. Change default sleeper spacing for turnouts. Change the length of the machined ends on checkrails. Any suggestions? Thanks posted: 10 Jun 2009 23:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mike, Change sleeper width for both turnouts and plain track. Change default sleeper spacing for turnouts. Turnouts have timbers. Plain track has sleepers. It is important to keep this distinction in mind in using the Templot terminology. In UK track, they are not the same width. In version 091c, click the real> timbering> timbering data... menu item. Click the more info F1 button, and the ...

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!

... //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 ...
... the b switch is 29'6" from that of the c switch. So I placed a b turnout on top of the c turnout with the fixings pegs of both at the right point (ha ha!) and then hit F9, and then clicked in the little window to enter the right value. But instead I got to move the peg, and not the "slide value".

Seriously, it's all working as intended. If entering the peg dimension directly it needs to be negative on X relative to CTRL-0 on the second turnout, and then you can peg the second turnout over the the first turnout using the notch. Leave the peg Y dimension unchanged on ...
658. Templot Crash
... as preparing a printout. I noticed tonight that if you leave the program in certain menus/dialogue boxes such as editing sleepering data or shoving timbers it also puts a heavy load on the CPU. A little later I managed to get this message :- 2001_171944_160000000.png closely followed by :- 2001_171945_500000000.png I only had the single track item on the go with no background images or anything like that. I had been playing around with rail lengths trying to figure out how to get 30' track panels with 12" joint sleepers and 10" for the rest of the panel( 32mm O scale) and had tried to save the current settings into one of the custom locations. The memory available when it gave the error was about the same as in the Task Manager 'shot' above.

... 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. ...
