... went back with the long layout plans.... From memory I think I paid around £50 for the 9m plan and a couple of other much shorter ones. I got the idea that they didn't often do printing on this scale and so there was no list of prices, the lady who served me simply throught of what seemed like an appropriate figure! Again from memory, I think they did have prices for standard drawing sizes (such as those that would accompany a planning application, A1?)- £10 comes to mind. Apologies for not signing previous posts- other forums that I'm on have a 'signature' facility which provides a sign-off automatically; I'd completely forgotten that isn't the case here.

... useful. I have a memory of seeing you use the marker colour facility in a video somewhere. I will have a play with these and see how I get on. I suspect that there is a "Proper Procedure" to manage groups to deliver some of the functionality I am looking for but it is an example of one of those things you are unlikely to stumble across in Learn By Doing mode- I wonder if this might be a good case for a little demo video? Best Regards, Howard. posted: 10 Oct 2010 16:25 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin When pegging a group, here's a trick you can try -- use F7 snapping as a quick way to get the notch on a free end of a background template; and then use the cycle notch function to move it back there after linking: That looks worth a go- thanks. I'll also try the marker colours thingy- although I do use the "remembered groups" I was disappointed that they weren't saved. I didn't know (or had long ...
663. P4 test track
... topic: 2748 P4 test track posted: 29 Sep 2015 10:20 from: Len Cattley Hi I need help, I have posted a file on share and show. Is it OK for testing 4-6 -0's the points and single slip are B7's? Len posted: 29 Sep 2015 10:34 from: Martin Wynne Hi Len, It looks ok to me. But everything depends on the actual 4-6 -0 -- wheelbase, sideplay on axles, etc. The leading truck is largely irrelevant, it would be just the same for an 0-6 -0 with the same wheelbase. For more help on P4 wheels, axles, minimum radius, etc., try asking on the Scalefour forum: http://www.scalefour.org/forum/ There is a Guest Book area for posting if you are not a member. regards, Martin.

665. Download size
... topic: 322 Download size posted: 24 Jan 2008 22:31 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, One of life's many mysteries is why the Templot download is so much smaller than most other program downloads. It's only around 1.5MB. I've found that most other program downloads are typically 5 or 10 times larger than that. For software which seems not significantly more complex than Templot. With nearly everyone now on broadband, downloading Templot takes only a second or two, and sometimes it is so fast that you are not entirely sure that it has actually worked! The small size also gives the impression that it must be a fairly simple program -- anyone judging these matters on a megabyte-per-dollar basis must be none too impressed. So I'm pondering whether there might be a case for bulking it up with some blank space to make the download look a bit meatier and take longer. It seems a daft thing to do, and unfair to anyone still on dial-up, but I'm wondering if other software gets up to such ...

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. This is Ballycastle http://www.ballycastlehistory.com/railway-world-november-1979.html I've also seen it on CDR, L&LSR and T&D photos.

... and drag operation now has changed to a click, move cursor (with no visual change) and click again to make the change. It works fine with the 1R radius option and switching back to 1R radius clears it until you select the 2R a second time.

... because it tells me in the title of the box. 2_150641_460000000.png p.s. in Templot "reload" refers to the storage box, not the file. i.e. it means "replace existing& load new data". It doesn't mean repeat loading of the same thing. The word for that is "refresh", although Templot doesn't have a separate function for that -- you must reload again from the same file as before. This I haven't understood but perhaps I don't need to?

Len Cattley Attachment: attach_1175_1622_S7_Tebay_& _Kirkby-Stephen_crossing.box 132 posted: 11 Sep 2011 07:28 from: Raymond Hi Len, I think you will have to go back to the drawing board for that. You have a 7.4 crossing directly conneted to a 4.65 and therefore, no smooth line through the crossing, it needs to be on a curve. Also the 7.4 crossing does not connect to the turnout to the left.

... plain track being catered for through the plain track options menu, then selecting rail lengths and sleeper spacings). I'm sure however, you will have another option available for me in Templot, which I yet need to discover (showing my ignorance again). I agree with your point about the dynamic stresses not being as severer at the throat of the station, where the speed of trains is much slower than that of the faster main running line junctions, in my case for New Street, the throat speed is limited to 10 mph and in the station area it slows to 5 mph for the very curved areas (mainly the Midland side of the station as it was commonly known).

John posted: 1 Jan 2020 19:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, That 25ft timber is not necessarily too long. Most companies kept timbers up to about 20ft as stock items. That's enough to span a double-track crossover, etc. Longer timber up to about 30ft would be ordered as specials from the timber yard, as needed. But they were expensive, so used only on heavy-traffic areas such as the throat of a main ...

So for example if you already have posts numbers 53 and 55 in the list, you can enter post number 54 between them by first selecting number 53 in the list.
