802. Check Rails
... from: Paul Boyd Hi Zoë The basic idea is to use a turnout with customized check rails, then blank off the turnout part. If you open up Templot with the default B6 turnout, use F4 to extend the overall length to, say 1m long. Then from the 'real' menu, Real=>customize v-crossing=>wing and check rails. In the dialogue box I would suggest clicking the "more info F1" button. In there should be all the info you need, so if you print that off and work with the template you should be able to follow what's happening. I've attached a copy of my quick reference guide to show the various sizes and which bits are which because I can never remember which size goes with which rail! I hope this will be useful, but it will only make sense once you've read the info I mentioned above!

... -shoving stuff). My own preference for that dialogue box would be for the default action to be add to existing group but as the dialogue box is already established I guess it shouldn't change now. I've never actually used the option of grouping by tag from the main menu- I need to have a refresh of what's in all those menus! I think that these days "slower" is a relative term, if diamonds will be more accurate, then slightly slower is fine. Mind you, last night I was printing off a background with picture shapes and that took for ever- fortunately not something I do often and even then only to confirm the basic shape before ploughing ahead!

... if the EMGS specified 2,3 or 4 bolt chairs? How do we persuade Bachmann, Hornby, Heljan and Dapol to offer the option of EM wheels? Probably as likely as a supermarket giving us healthy ready meals.... Rob Rob Many do and the ranges are growing, however as they all cannot agree on a wheel standard I doubt if it will come, unless someone commissions a new chassis. Hark back to the days when the whitemetal kits ran of Jinty chassis !! Edit How about a 3D print using Markit wheels!!

Martin. posted: 29 Sep 2020 20:17 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, I prefer option 1- the silent interactive one, especially if the information is as important and well presented as the example you selected. There is a lot of important information in that one that goes beyond purely how to drive Templot. I have several A4 folders with clear pages into which you can insert printed pages( from the companion) which I find invaluable and serve a similar purpose to the extra information in this type of video. Sometimes I don't actually use Templot for a few months by which time some of the required knowledge is gone from my grey cells. The live sessions were interesting to see and a worthwhile experiment though. If your presentation skills matched your handsome good looks it may have been a closer call( sorry- my old mum always taught me to say things as I saw them) although it still ...
... report contains, click here" link. The screen that comes up is an "Error Signature", which I copied and attached as TemplotZero Error Signature. There is a link on the page for even more technical information. That screen contains the Error Report contents, which includes exception info, system info, information on modules 1 through 30, and data on thread 1 which is a hexadecimal dump of a portion of memory. It is not copyable however, at least without another application. I imagine Windows has a screen print utility and I could get the data that way, but there would be a lot of screen shots. I would be happy to do this if you want it, after looking at the data I can send you (the attachments). The screen also lists a file that would be sent along with the error report to MS, which I found (hidden) and attached. The error occurs before clicking "ready, steady, click". When I launch Templot, I typically double click an alias of Templot ...

People used to use bike brake cables cut to suitable length! You need a spring to bias the turnout one way and use ...
809. C+L Timber Spacing
... B6, B7, B8 turnouts. Intended to be used when you prefer the closer than prototype timber spacings for 00 gauge, or you want to produce curved versions of C&L templates, or you have existing trackwork which has been built on C&L templates and want to include it in your track design. To preserve the shoved timber spacings do not mint from these templates (e.g. via the "quick set..." function).' Here is the screenshot: cl_00_equiv_screen.png Here is the B7 template printed out: cl_00_equiv_print.png These custom templates are for the 00-BF standard (16.5mm gauge). If you change them to 00-SF (16.2mm gauge) the lead lengths will shorten slightly and the templates will no longer exactly match the length of the original C&L templates. To change them to 00-SF without upsetting the other C&L customized settings, do this: 1. Click the template> gauge and scale> modify current settings> modify track gauge... menu item and change the ...
... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ .DS_Store How does it come about that MAC files are visible on the WINDOWS desktop? I have to confess that I'm now completely lost. Is it possible that you could post some screenshots showing exactly what the screen looks like before you launch Templot, and describe the sequence of exactly what you then see in detail? I'm sorry, I've no idea how to create a screenshot on a Mac, but if Windows is running you should be able to create a screen bitmap on the clipboard by pressing the Print Screen key (if you have such a key), and then pasting it into any image editor. Finally, how much do these Intel Macs cost? What is the minimum I would need to spend to be able to replicate your problem here? regards, Martin. posted: 29 Aug 2007 08:30 from: Dave Phillips Hi Martin, Dave, you said originally that the problem occurs BEFORE you click the "Ready, Steady, Click" bar?

... need to know (or invent) some prototype details. See for example my previous reply today: Gn15 template Mixed-gauge templates can be created in the same way as any complex formation, using overlaid partial templates. It's not difficult, but you need a bit of experience with Templot first. Here for example is a mixed-gauge curved crossover in P4 (without side-swap): gwr_mixed_night.png The box file for it is attached below (for Templot version 078e and later). This is what it looks like printed out (at 85%): gwr_mixed_print_a1.png gwr_mixed_print_a2.png regards, Martin.

... impact printer in the printer calibration dialog. Templot then makes a few changes to the output, such as removing all solid area infills. The important point is to have a Windows printer driver available for it. That might be a bit tricky for the latest versions of Windows. I don't think it makes much difference between 9-pin and 24-pin, the driver should take care of that. Also supplies of paper and ink ribbons could be an issue. If it's Z-fold continuous paper, select the banner printing option, and also the banner fill option. Ultimately it's down to try it and see. cheers, Martin. posted: 24 Aug 2019 22:11 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thank you. Ribbons and paper are still easy to come by from a number of suppliers. If using a tractor fed printer used to work and give suitable results there is no reason why it shouldn't still work fine. All the Epson range( FX, RX, LQ etc) are supported by either Epson downloads or Windows ...
... far smaller than nowadays, and the use of system resources had to be kept to a minimum. The first release of Templot was designed to run on a 640x480 screen with 8-bit colour. All through the code there are options and settings left over from those days. Most of them are commented out, and I deleted many of them entirely from the OT/MEC files. However I do have to keep in mind that there are some Templot users who keep a battered old Windows system in their model workshops to print out track templates as needed. As far as I know Templot still runs on ancient Windows95 systems, or at least Windows98. But I haven't actually tested it for ages, and I doubt the Lazarus-compiled OT/MEC versions would do so. Anyone? That's one reason for sticking with Delphi5 as the compiler for Templot2, rather than a more up-to-date version of Delphi. The PNG option in the file viewer stores the screenshots as PNG image files on disk. The alternative BITMAP option stores them ...
814. Using two monitors
... since I don't do games, fancy graphics etc. Will there be any problems please- I'm guessing that other Templot users already have such a setup. Once installed will I need to configure any settings in the computer in order to use the second monitor please? Many thanks. Brian. p.s. Clever with computers I'm not, though for the most part I do get by. So please keep any responses simple!! posted: 18 Jan 2008 05:43 from: Bob Ellis Hi Brian, Why don't you just print out the instructions/tutorials so that you can refer to them as you work on the screen. One advantage of this is that you can make notes on the paper copy as you go along. Best wishes, Bob Ellis posted: 18 Jan 2008 13:07 from: Paul Boyd Hi Brian I'm using a dual monitor setup, and Windows does make it very easy. You're right in that you'll need a new video card.

... side, to remind you that some timber shoving will be needed to extend long timbers across from the other side. It's quite quick to do -- just click on the timber's number and then press the L key (lengthen) a few times. Each press adds 6" (scale) to the length. If you wish, every individual timber and sleeper in Templot can be adjusted for exact size and position, but normally it's only necessary to adjust a few of them where they conflict. Here's an example of a printed template from Templot, showing long timbers and the results of some timber shoving: long_timber_shoving.png regards, Martin. posted: 2 Feb 2009 13:44 from: Martin Lloyd What would the maximum length likely to be for such timbers?

... topic: 3394 Non-rectangular baseboard outlines posted: 6 Mar 2019 18:09 from: Martin Wynne Someone asked me about non-rectangular baseboard outlines. Sorry, I have forgotten who it was or in which topic, or even on which forum. Apologies if it was you, my memory is now hopeless. There are several ways to show baseboard outlines on the trackpad and on the printed output.

817. Gauges for 0-MF
... Are you also turning the stock to make roller gauges or using the square section as the finished gauge? Rob Hi Rob, That's how I make a tool from square stock HSS (high-speed steel) to turn the grooves for a track gauge in my lathe. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow. (It's slightly chilly in my workshop at the moment) I was going to make myself a couple of spring loaded gauges that don't care how wide the rail is but I did a body-swerve into 3D printing instead.

... attach_2781_3359_Ingleside_1.jpg 149 posted: 28 Nov 2018 15:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Jason, Welcome to Templot Club. This book from the 2mm Scale Association is a good starting point for newcomers to trackbuilding. It covers more than 2mm scale: 106_121039_460000000.jpg Available from: http://www.2mm.org.uk/products/trackbook/index.html SMP Scaleway is a popular choice for plain track. But once you get started in Templot you will find that the SMP templates don't match prototype practice, and most users prefer to build their pointwork on templates printed from Templot. For a long read (150 pages) about a layout using SMP Scaleway, Templot and trackbuilding (and the option of using the 4-SF/00-SF standards for 00) see this topic from Gordon S on RMweb: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/3422-eastwood-town-where-did-10-years-go/ cheers, Martin.

819. Gn15 curved turnouts
... I set a curviform crossing (frog) angle of 1:4 (RAM), resulting in a turnout radius of 198mm (7.8") with a 14" radius in the main road. You may prefer to shorten it further to 1:3.75. The gauge is so small in relation to the scale that I needed to reduce the calculation step size in the generator expert settings. The F7 snapping proximity setting also needs reducing.

... The control template represents the current output from the generator. So the settings you are probably looking for are in generator> generator settings> menu options. Note that to not generate any rails, there are 3 separate settings at generator settings> rails>. A few more notes -- unticking> timber outlines also prevents any timber infill being generated. If you don't generate any rails or track centre-lines at all, the zoom to fit option (SPACEBAR) won't work properly, and it may not be possible to print the template. I will look at adding further pad display options for the control template, although not displaying too many of the features which are being generated can get mighty confusing! Storing a template could cause a lot more features to appear than you were expecting. If you have a specific reason for wanting to generate a feature but not display it, can you say why? I know that a tickbox dialog for the generator settings would be more user-friendly than the menu options, and now that fewer and fewer ...
