... what you want you will have to create the crossover manually. regards, Martin. posted: 24 May 2017 16:33 from: Michael Henfrey Thanks very much everyone. I did not know anything about the curviform crossing so thanks for pointing that out. (I really should read more tutorials) Borg& John, Thanks very much for those template files. I was really struggling to make the goods yard "work" but now I am one step closer to getting it started now posted: 27 May 2017 08:10 from: madscientist Thanks Dave posted: 11 Jun 2017 11:41 from: Michael Henfrey Right, I have made a few changes based off some suggestions to make the goods yard sidings longer and slightly operationally better. Iv'e printed it out and layed it out in the loft and it just about fits, but the dimensions in templot say it'll fit perfectly but I wasn't taking too much care in laying out the many peices of paper! Just got to do some timber nudging now. I seem to have forgotten where the ...
722. Tramplot?
... tram track handbook, showing tram tracks under construction. tram_track1.jpg© Edgar Allen tram_track2.jpg© Edgar Allen It's a different world, about which I know very little. If you want "Tramplot" it won't be me writing it. Over to you? regards, Martin. posted: 4 Oct 2008 20:50 from: davelong They're truely stunning photos, does the book say where they were intended for?

... topic: 1193 Track plan tutorial again- Track handedness, negative radius turnouts and crossings posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:16 from: grog_polymer In the Track plan tutorial it also says that looking from the peg at Pos 0 RH refers to the direction of positive radius. This seems really bizare as a track curving to the left is considered to be Right Handed but with negative radius. I don't understand that. There are also a couple of references to shorter crossings being acceptable for turnouts with significant negative radius. Is this due to the fact that the deflection through the crossing is shallow on both roads?

724. Trimming turnouts
... topic: 1194 Trimming turnouts posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:27 from: grog_polymer I know that I will probably come to this later in the tutorials but there are a couple of places where I have found that the alignment on the entry to a turnout with a track that was made as double track does not quite align at the end of the turnout be it the approach, the branch or the length to use terms relating to how they are fashioned on a single turnout. If I move the peg along a little and make a separate exit road etc. will this let me trim the turnout down? Regards, Greg posted: 11 Aug 2010 11:09 from: Martin Wynne grog_polymer wrote: If I move the peg along a little and make a separate exit road etc. will this let me trim the turnout down? Hi Greg, You can shorten a turnout template back towards the toe (CTRL-0 end) by as much as you wish, using the F4 overall length mouse action. Alternatively you can blank out ...

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! The baseboards are dimensioned 4ftx3ft so your size is a bit small. Rotation needed is 0.75 degrees. It is 10 times easier to scale if you lock the scaling to the notch. cheers, Martin. posted: 19 Oct 2018 22:58 from: roythebus Thanks for the help, I'll give that a try now.

... //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 ...
... 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. ...

... and most other scale/gauge combinations (either steel or NS). Details are on my website. As for point kits, it's usually cheaper to buy just the components, (for instance each C&L kit contains a set of gauges and a template). As I presume you are interested in the LSWR, you may be aware (if not please shout) that there is quite a bit of freely available info available for this company, so best to use Templot anyway. Last edited on 2 Jan 2012 10:26 by Stephen Freeman posted: 2 Jan 2012 10:57 from: LSWRArt Hi Stephen, Do you use the high nickel content NS for the points, common crossings and blades you supply, as most Templot contributors think this is better than 'standard' NS? What is your feeling about minimum radius for 0-MF? I would much prefer to use this finer standard, as aeons ago I built both 00 gauge and S4 points and found the S4 so much easier to build for reliable operation, because there ...

Hi Alan, Sure, generally it's prototypical to do anything which fits, if the lines are needed. Did you mean something like this? 2_290840_420000000.png I added the signal box because it looks like a busy junction for the signalman. If you meant something else, perhaps you could post your .box file, or a sketch? regards, Martin. posted: 29 May 2015 ...
... mean that both surfaces to be soldered must be throughly cleaned first using either a fibre glass brush or abrasive block (a coarse one appears to work best). I tend to the view that the less work the flux has to do, the better the chance of a good joint being formed. If you must use an acid flux with steel then use phosphoric acid as this is used to passivate steel as part of the anti rust treatment for car panels etc. Happy new year. Tony. posted: 2 Jan 2012 10:54 from: Richard_Jones Hi Tony, (et al) having dusted off the punching& riveting tools after.... years, I've managed to punch up a set of sleepers for the double slip. However it reminded me of another "hitch"- that is the punch "hanging up" in the sleeper on release- if there are holes close to each other, this can snap the sleeper, and I try to keep my thumb on the sleeper strip close to the punch to stop this happening ...

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 ...
