... topic: 878 Printing for a layout diagram posted: 24 Jun 2009 13:59 from: Martin Wynne Andy G wrote (on RMweb): It does seem to be a bit of an issue to get a decent looking overall trackplan out of Templot, I know Martin is working on a sketching add on, but I've had quite a few issues trying to get a trackplan of Slattocks that shows up well on a screen or an A4 sheet. Full size it is absolutely brilliant. Hi Andy, You can get reasonable results by switching the rails off for printing, and setting a thick track centre-line. Say 30mm wide for 4mm scale. Then print the pad to fit a single page. The red trim margins can be suppressed by simply changing their colour to white. The track centre-line prints in the same colour as the rail edges, so you can change that to whatever you want. I have made a bit of Jing video showing these changes being made (it may take a short while to load): ...
682. Slattocks Junctions
... -7 turnout about 35mm to the left, so I don't know how that would fit -- there is room to the next turnout (just) but you may have a board joint there. If you are tight for space there, it might be possible to shorten the lead on the turnout by increasing the entry straight on the crossing. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Jun 2009 15:19 from: Andy G Hi Martin, Thanks for the suggestion. I've had a good look at it and tried a few things. In trying to avoid a very short section of plain track between the crossing and the junction I'm not able to get a smooth line from the crossing to the tandem. This is actually the way I had originally done it with a regular slip but Dick commented that there was a dog leg in it and that the straight path would actually give a better alignment which it did seem to. If I introduce the short length (about four sleepers worth!) then I can get an alignment as you suggested, ...

Hi Richard, You asked the same question a few years ago, and I answered in detail but rather tentatively at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/message/2299 Sorry to say I'm just as tentative now. But I'm in agreement with Jamie -- unless you have a reason to think otherwise, it's probably the switch toe (blade tips).

685. Length of track
... associated with buying flex track, currently at between $7.00 to $9.00 per length here in Australia for Microengineering code 83 flex. The second reason is because I have had problems finishing a layout for years now so the possibility of using flex versus hand laid may help in that respect. However, if the costs blow out due to the flex I will bit the bullet and just do handlaid- takes consideribly longer but is more cost effective. I happen to have enough rail to do the whole layout right now, just need a few thousand more ties and spikes. Of course no one else can help in the thought process of handlaid vs flex other then me so it comes down to dollars vs time. Nigel: Good idea, once I have finalised my plan I think I will go with that method. I suspect I am looking around 100 feet of track in total plus staging- time will tell how close I am Cheers Bruce Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

I also need to clear out all of the unused templates from the plan, seem to have acquired rather a lot along the way. Andy posted: 22 Jul 2009 17:48 from: Andy G Martin Wynne wrote: Well done to all involved on Slattocks Junction. Martin. Cheers Martin, and thanks for Templot. I don't think we'd have got anywhere near as good a design doing it by hand and I'd probably have killed a few people along the way with the various changes we've made. A simple change can affect an awful lot of track, but Templot makes it a lot easier to make those changes and therefore get it right.

... , but I will add an override to ignore the reported printer capabilities and just send it regardless. In the meantime, there are several alternatives to pdf995 which work in colour without problems. The free trial of pdfFactory is fully functional with no time limit, if you don't mind a logo overprint on each page: http://www.fineprint.com/products/pdffactory/ Likewise Win2PDF, which prints additional pages in the free trial mode: http://www.win2pdf.com/products/win2pdf.htm I tested several of these PDF generators a few years ago and came to the conclusion that Win2PDF produced the best match to Templot's native print output. But that was then -- no doubt they have all upgraded since then, and also we now have the excellent Foxit Reader as an alternative to Adobe for printing PDF files. The most important point is to remember to set page scaling to "None" when printing templates from PDF.

690. Scissors
... the whole lot on a curve Cheers Thanks, Paul. I take the point on the checkrails- I was quite pleased with myself for stumbling on how to extend them at all. Pleased you agree on the timbering- I just couldn't see how it would work otherwise. The two lower tracks in the box file are running lines, so are at 6' spacing, while the top line is a siding so is at 10' from the running line. I based this heavily on the description that John Preston wrote a few weeks ago (Thanks, John), but the increased spacing of the tracks did mean I had to improvise the scissors crossing a bit.

I'm amazed at how powerful Templot appears to be... but eeeeeeeeekk! Working through the videos are helping me to understand how the program works, I've a few questions that remain unanswered, so if this is the right place to ask them (?) here go's.... 1. I plan to build the layout in OO 'finescale' and assume that the 'OO-SF' option in the gauge selection menu is the same? But what is OO-BF and OO-DOGAF etc? 2. I've used AutoCAD to design the layout outline to work out feasibillity etc, etc The layout will be approx 21ft by 13ft (in loft) and am trying to get the image into Templot- any help form anyone gone before would be very much appreciated. 3. The layout will be multi level. ...

... road, as well as the baseboard joints. I now need to check my clearnaces and mark the platform edges. The plan is to then cut up the brass rubbing and peel the backing off and stick it down onto 3mm ply which will become the platforms/road surfaces etc. This will be supported on noggins cut from 1" square timber at 6" to 8" centres. The prototype for the platform and awnings is in the background. 33_290915_410000000.jpg After that we couldn't resist the opportunity to play trains and take a few videos of trains running past the station and onto Greyhound Bridge. 33_290920_270000000.jpg The opportunity was also taken to put the Long Preston Fiddle Yard in place to try it out. The unanimous decision of the jury that was present was that it looked tired and wasn't up to the standard of the new boards. Also a lot of alteration are going to have to be made to the track layout to cope with the various traffics that are in the working timetable. This has meant a lot of midnight oil being burnt on Templot ovr ...

It hasn't be applied to .74b, which remains the same. Hi railwaynut02, After downloading the file, you must open/run it by double-clicking on it. The screen will temporarily go blue all over with a dialog box in the centre on which you must click OK a few times. Did you see that? Also you will probably see some confirmation security messages from Windows asking you if you are sure you want to run it. Did you see those? If when you originally installed Templot you changed to a different installation location, you should make the same change when installing 091c. You can install it to a different location if you wish, but in that case you would need to create a new shortcut to launch it. But note that you MUST NOT change to the Windows "Program ...
... the US outline market. BTB would still have to be changed which meant other BRMA members could not run their kit on my layout even if I did put up with the look of the US turnouts. So OO-SF was logical but track building gauges have been unavailable for some time until very recently. I got mine yesterday. I'm still not sure what to do in general PCB or plastic construction. Plastic means understanding the chairing better and learning additional technique. PCB is easy to make and can be made with very few sleepers. So for fiddle yards etc this will be quick, cheap and deliver reliable running. It allows me to get started building soon and not be concerned about chairing as an issue. I can also do complete sleepering on some and see if cosmetic chairing is viable. Sweating the joints leaves very little solder on the sleeper so it *may* be possible.

... 778 What should I start with? posted: 3 Apr 2009 15:25 from: BruceNordstrand Howdy all I have a new install of Windoze Xp and Templot so I can work on a new plan a friend of mine designed. This is stage 1 of a double deck layout in my garage (pic attached) I have a BMP file all ready to load into Templot as a background image but frankly, I do not know where to start. You see, there is not many straight sections in this plan and very few straight turnouts. Would you suggest I try manipulating a turnout to fit and go from there or start with some plain track sections and insert turnouts into that? I am still very green behind the ears when it comes to Templot so please be gentle...

697. Video format
... as possible for clarity, but this does give the problem of file sizes being larger and taking up a lot of space Hi Brian, This is a common misunderstanding. Provided you use a suitable video codec -- e.g. TSCC -- the file size in MB depends on the amount of detail in the image, not the size of the image in pixels. Likewise with GIF and PNG format for static images. An image of a patch of single colour 10,000 x 6,000 pixels would occupy only a few bytes in a file. The way to keep file sizes small is to remove everything from the screen which is not needed in the video. Closing the info and zoom dialogs, and working without timbering, will make a much smaller video file size -- provided you go nowhere near JPG and MPG formats, which should never be used for program screenshots and look awful when so used. I keep saying this, but the vast majority of Templot screenshots posted on forums such as RMweb are still in JPG format and look ...
698. Turnout Files
... bit of a steep learning curve to start with unfortunately, but if you search these pages you will find plenty of threads from other newcomers. There is not really any such thing as a "library" of turnouts- indeed the very strength of Templot is the speed with which unique formations can be built from scratch. My suggestion would be to learn by following the demo videos http://www.templot.com/martweb/tutorials.htm Although this does need some investment in your time, you will find that you can within just a few minutes knock out any number of basic turnouts to whatever specification you need. Having said that, if you look in "share and show" bit of this forum http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_forum.php?id=12.. you will find a number of layouts( .box files) which people have already worked on- maybe even some in your chosen scale/ gauge from which you could load individual templates if it would help- it is in any case useful to see how other people have done ...
699. Widened Lines
... the Met. lines proper used 8' 11" sleepers so it would seem odd that its widened lines would be any different. I'm just loathe to dismiss it completely without having exhausted all possible avenues. Trying to find photos taken in 1890s/1900s which corroborate or otherwise has been a task in itself, and that's not for the want of trying. Where I've located photos of the contemporary period, very little data of the PW can be extrapolated. Most books and articles on the subject (and I've read quite a few now!) have plenty of photographs of later periods. There's a photo taken in the vicinity of Ray Street gridiron in 1915 which appears to show 9' sleepers, but it's unlikely the sleepers of the early 1890s were still in situ then as the area was prone to serious flooding. Although I don't know the life expectancy of sleepers on the line, contemporary engineers were estimating between an average of ten years on the GNR to an average of sixteen years on the L&Y (Tratman, ibid), both ...

I have recently been given an old PC on which I intend to run Templot and at the moment before I upgrade the RAM to 1.5Gb (next week all being well) the machine runs horribly slowly. A friend suggested that Linux might make it run faster but looking through your website I notice that you mention a range of Windows OS types but do not mention Linux. Therefore, the question I want to ask is will Templot run under Linux? (I hope that the new RAM will solve the speed problems as the processor is an Intel 2.8GigaHz so I am assuming it is the 768Mb of RAM which is causing the performance problems.) On an unrelated note but relating to the design of ...
