... . 3. click OK. 4. leave your 11.98 RAM (12 CLM) angle unchanged. 5. change fixed length of entry straight in front of FP from 122.1mm to 69.77mm i.e. to 4/7ths of its previous S7 value. The template should now be a proper conversion from S7, including the shoved timbers. You will need to do the same on any other templates where you have adjusted the entry straight from its usual auto-fit setting. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Jul 2019 00:08 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Richard, I regard this as a serious bug, so I will try to get an update fix released later today. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Jul 2019 08:40 from: richard_t Thank you Martin. The plan dates from the start of last year, so I've forgotten most of the details I had a bit of time yesterday, so I thought I'd make a start to correcting the turnout road exit lengths when I noticed some of the timbers looked incorrect. Thanks for ...
... same angle otherwise you will end up with an ugly reverse curve which is probably harder on the running quality of the track than a small radius turnout. posted: 3 Jan 2012 19:13 from: RedgateModels I tried a #4 diamond but it's too tight for a slip, the K crossing would have been all but unworkable- Martin recommended that I go for a #6.... topic 1673 It has to sit where it is too because of a baseboard joint too! Last edited on 4 Jan 2012 08:20 by RedgateModels posted: 4 Jan 2012 08:18 from: RedgateModels Hi Bill, tried a couple of very short 1:4 points today, but they won't fit. There is a baseboard joint at the 7 foot mark and because of the track separation between the platform road and the run-round I need a short straight section between the existing point and it's pair in the crossover, pushing it too far across. Nice thought though... posted: 4 Jan 2012 08:46 from: ...

... about just the bright number on the template which when clicked or hovered over brings up the reminder. The perceived benefit is that it reduces the "clutter" on the screen. Cheers for now John, from 33820 St Ciers posted: 9 Nov 2017 18:44 from: Rob Manchester Martin, Maybe a keyboard key could toggle the reminders on or off in the way that Home/End toggle the control template and template name labels. Assuming there is any spare keys left of course. Rob posted: 15 Nov 2017 08:07 from: richard_t Thanks Martin- I'd forgotten about the sketchboard- I'll give that a go then I next get 5 minutes. I was also pondering if the on screen reminders should be associated with a general x/y location on the trackpad, or associated with a template (at a peg position?). With the latter the notes would "move" with the template, which could be useful (or perhaps not!) Last edited on 15 Nov 2017 08:08 by richard_t posted: 15 ...

Setting a name for the .box file doesn't change the project title. To do that, see: topic 16 regards, Dave posted: 18 Dec 2010 08:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Bruce, Templot doesn't use the Windows Document Model so the file name is irrelevant. The templates comprising your track plan can be loaded into the storage box from several different files.

Let me know if this is what you were looking for. It was done using the make tandem function in Templot -- I'm quite pleased with the result, not having tried it on narrow-gauge before. cheers, Martin.

... is a precedent for doing it if there are no commercial supplies. I was on the S scale Society committee when the decision was taken to proceed with getting our own plastic chairs produced, and also a Code 87 bullhead rail drawn to go with them. It was quite a bit of money to commit for a small society of around 100 members and the minimum order quantites from the plastic moulder and the rail drawing company meant that we had to obtain a ten year supply. The rail supplied would actually do us for about twenty years. We only supply one type of three bolt chair and one slide chair and a plastic sprue contains nine chairs and one slide chair which keeps most members happy. I don't think we could consider funding a larger range of chairs since there is a limit to what we should do with society funds, and with the minimum order quantites involved, some chair orders might be twenty to thirty years supply. Previously the society had whitemetal chairs cast for us to match Code 95 rail which used to be available from Jones Bros ...
... . You need to join MERG (merg.org.uk) and get into CBUS and probably cut your wiring by 80% or so. With the crossings there are several servo drivers that can be located adjacent to the point and also switch a relay to change polarity so avoiding problems of interference. The system can be used equally well with DC and and DCC. It's not that complicated and the help available to members via their forum is as good as here system Templot. Worth a look.

... topic: 3551 First Faltering Steps (Asok Yard) posted: 12 Nov 2019 02:08 from: Graeme A week ago I set myself the task of at least making a start at acquiring a working knowledge of Templot. In the interim I have probably spent in total about 3 days solid on it. Selecting topics randomly, I read much of the Templot Companion, then worked my way through the index from start to finish to make sure I had not missed anything, read the posts linked to from the Companion, worked through the user-contributed tutorials, watched the videos, re-read most of it all a second (and third and...) time, re-watched the videos (would have bought the tee-shirt but there isn't one- YET!!). Anyway, you get the idea. I even watched Martin's video on creating a single slip- thought I may need a second viewing- I forget the middle bit. When I started playing with XtrackCAD (way before finding Templot) I ...

79. 3D again?
... Any day now! I'm considering a sort of hybrid approach. RC with batteries (possibly non-rechargeable) running on energized track but with non-energized turnouts. The receiver will only draw power from the battery while traversing turnouts. It should be possible to recharge a battery from "live" track but good charger circuits are fairly complex. On the other hand it's simple to bypass the battery when track power is available. I'll post pics of the diamond when it's complete.

I had increased this partial's angle until that happened and when the checkrail finally disappeared from the template I was left with this spurious angled line that, if I used F5 to increase and decrease the angle such that the checkrail appeared and disappeared continuously, the leftover fragment could either be at 90 degrees to the adjacent rail or roughly 45 as it is in the attached capture. 412_280344_230000000.png Regards Alan Last edited on 28 May 2011 08:46 by Alan McMillan posted: 21 May 2011 16:53 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I just got back in to TDV, and as I did so your message about a new update appeared.
