741. Dual gauge?
... topic: 1233 Dual gauge? posted: 6 Sep 2010 10:18 from: istvan.david I have been using Templot for about 4 months now and I have a quite fair knowledge on how to create complete track plans, and I like it very much. However I haven't seen any tutorials on how to make dual gauge trackwork (standard gauge- narrow gauge crossings, turnouts, straight tracks with dual gauge). Are there any tutorials and if not, how hard are those to create with Templot?

742. metafiles!
... (no WMF -- there are online converters if anyone wants the old WMF format), and the print-page previews. Whether it is enough to work in the Sketchboard remains to be seen. Because of licensing issues that will have to be in a separate helper exe anyway, at least for the present. It might even become a separate program in its own right TemplotSketch (closed-source). Likewise TemplotPDF perhaps, for the PDF export, which also relies on metafiles. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Nov 2019 02:11 from: Martin Wynne The metafile export is now working in T3 quite well. Metafiles are vector files. That's great because instead of containing an actual image, they contain the instructions for drawing the image. Which means they don't have a fixed size and can be drawn crisply into a specified rectangle of any size. What has surprised me is how few graphics programs are able to handle metafiles properly. In fact I haven't found any. Gimp and Inkscape won't load them at all. Irfanview and ...
... sound of it, is really great. A major hurdle ticked off the list. But if we are looking to release Templot3 as a practical replacement for Templot2, "seems to work ok" isn't good enough. Yes absolutely. I think this is clear, if T3 is to be a viable successor to T2. However, before I comment on the rest of your post, I need to think about it a bit more (and do a bit of investigation too). Cheers, graeme posted: 15 Nov 2019 10:20 from: Paul Boyd Hi Graeme You've got the bug! Yes, I do many layouts in Templot that will never be built, nor were ever intended to be built. This one is one I did a few years ago of Yatton on the GW main line south-west of Bristol at a friend's suggestion, just for the hell of it! I'd need to win the lottery just to be able to buy the space for that one! I may finish the timbering one day... 105_150516_150000000.png posted ...
744. Making a curve
... the dummy template to create each transition curve template. It needs a bit of fiddling about with the radii -- the curves must come as close together as possible without actually touching, and they must do it at locations well clear of the centre section, and clear of the turnouts. Otherwise the resulting transition zones will be too long and/or overlap each other or the turnouts. If you have not used "make transition" before you will probably need a bit of practice. By the way, those B-10 turnouts are not a good choice in this situation -- B switches won't take much curving and still run reliably. You would probably do better to change them to C-10, which is a popular model size for curved turnouts. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Aug 2010 15:00 from: Robert Preston Thanks for that, Martin. It required a bit of fiddling, but I've ended up with the attached and, more valuably, a much better understanding of how to use transition curves. style= ...
... way to do that all in one go. But do you need to change all of them? The minimum radius is only meaningful while you are making adjustments to the control template. Once you have stored the template, the minimum radius setting plays no further part in anything. You could leave changing the setting until you actually need to make adjustments to each template. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Aug 2010 20:44 from: richard_t Thanks.

... switches and crossings, but used timbers under these. Some time ago a 1:8 NER interlaced turnout template was made available, but practices differ, althoguh it can be used as a starting point. (Pardon the pun- it was unintentional.) My primary interest is to suit a branchline in the late Edwardian era, so I suspect the practice would be that current some 15-20 years earlier. My sketched out layout plan is based mostly on using 1in7 crossings.

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.

... check it was actually buildable before I decide to make a layout from it I've done my best to follow the track plan, but have been having trouble with transition curves and reverse curves... surprised? I think I'm pretty close, but am a bit worried about some of the tight curves and there may be some changes of direction which are too sudden. Is anyone willing to give it a look over and point out the troublespots?

I have not looked in detail, but I did quickly check out one "obvious" aspect- I notice that you have a lot of points which are- for example A 4.5. or B5. Such points are very inefficient in terms of use of space, resulting in very sharp minimum radii. I suggest that you go through and change each of the switches (Template> Switch options) and change them to "9 foot straight ...
... 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. I am running Templot on a Virtualbox VM on Mac OS 10.7 and did not experience this in previous dev version, I think.. I could take a screen recording mut I don't think I can upload mov files?

... fill it with a crossover, forgetting about the actual shape of what was in that position in the garden. posted: 9 Feb 2009 13:16 from: Nigel Brown Hi Geoff Yes, for simplicity I was assuming you could derive the second track from the first. However, it's only a bit more work (and possibly for accuracy a good idea anyway), to measure the position and angle of each end point of the second track relatives to the corresponding end point of the first track. cheers Nigel posted: 10 Feb 2009 11:47 from: Andy B You could try just 1 or 2 photos that capture the whole formation, then use GIMP (search the forum for Martin's examples of its use) to manipulate the pictures. Should be easy to set the transformation needed, as you can take a few exact measurements to check it.

754. GWR 45 foot
... I need to create a template for a 45 foot length of GWR bull-head track with the correct sleeper spacings at each end.

... 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 ...
... 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 ...

... topic: 731 Single Slip posted: 12 Feb 2009 11:36 from: Scott Willis Dear all I have just been trying to construct a Single Slip which I have attached a copy of. The Slip has been drawn in S-Scale and due too the fairly tight radius it is on I have had to make it quite large (1 :13.5).
