... Then just remember to plug in the USB stick when working on Templot (or anything else important). regards, Martin. posted: 18 Jul 2016 19:50 from: DerekStuart Thanks Martin. It is a works computer and backs up every time I go into the office or home. This was whilst out and about (waiting for a delayed ferry of all things). That AJC system sounds good as I am quite often away from the office for several days at a time. Given how much I dislike Windows 10 I can see this computer needing repaired (along with the plaster on the wall) before long. The drive was sent away but one of the heads had impacted the platter badly. BTW If anyone ever needs low level data recovery (ie opening the drive in a clean room Vs in a USB caddy) I can recommend East Anglia Data Recovery. No connection other than a customer. I hope that's OK to mention them there but understand if you need to delete that reference. Derek posted: 18 Jul 2016 20 ...

I really don't like allowing things to be switched off that way. The problem is that users who come to Templot only occasionally are likely to forget that a feature even exists if months/years ago they switched it off in their saved preferences. There are several circumstances in which the name labels are needed and it is difficult to work without them, for example ...

... topic: 3043 Templot lock-up posted: 5 Jul 2017 10:11 from: Stephen Freeman Hi Martin, I think I've found a real good one this time. I am trying to create a custom gauge for 4mm scale Isle of Man 12mm gauge etc. Now when I get to the dialogue box about non-standard timber length, no matter what I click on- nothing, only option is to rather ungracefully quit Templot using task manager. Windows 7 64 bit, not I think that makes any difference.

... certainly in and around the tracks, in fact soft balsa may actually be easier and much cleaner in forming a slight unevenness. It certainly looks much better in the flesh especially without a paper skin I may in some areas outside the tracks form cobbled areas this could be formed from clay. Balsa also keeps the weight down and the area to be worked is not too large, I have one more turnout to build and have some thin cork, just for experiment sake I might give it a try posted: 4 May 2020 10:00 from: Graham Idle 13_040452_310000000.jpg Hayfield wrote: Trevor Walling wrote: Hello, Would a set of wheels with suitably enlarged flange depths and widths make using a clay or other soft infill easier to accomplish a desired outcome with less work?

... topic: 3806 DXF Import posted: 1 Nov 2020 21:11 from: Thomas Clarke A friend of mine kindly drew out to EM scale track plan of Eardisley station in Autocad. When I imported the dxf file into Templot it was the right scale but something weird happend to the file when it was imported as can be seen in the Eardisley JPG when in fact it should looked like 3.JPG. It has also placed it a long way away from the track template 1.JPG and produce some separate shapes located in the bottom right hand corner 2.JPG. Any idea what might be causing this to happen. 3704_011607_460000000.jpg 1.JPG 3704_011609_360000000.png 2.JPG 3704_011610_150000000.png 3.JPG 3704_011610_530000000.png Eardisley.JPG posted: 1 Nov 2020 21:48 from: Martin Wynne Hi Thomas, Welcome to Templot Club.

... angle, press CTRL-0 (zero), change the crossing angle as required and repeat the process. For CLM equivalents, click real> V-crossing options> convert RAM to CLM menu item, and then do the above. e.g. 1:6 CLM= 1:5.96 RAM= 9.53 degrees. To convert the fractional part to minutes, multiply it by 60, e.g. for 9.53 degrees, 0.53 x 60= 32. result: 9deg 32min. cheers, Martin. posted: 8 Apr 2018 10:45 from: Charles Warr Hello Martin.

There are also numerous plain line lift plates to accommodate the various replacements with different amounts of wear. In several locations due to difficulty in obtaining the correct lift plates, I have cut ordinary plates in half and re-welded them together with the amount of lift incorporated as a temporary measure, ...

I'm getting into a bit of a pickle because they seem to revert to values I don't want Hi Andy, There are two approaches to this. 1. the default settings for adjacent track centres are part of the gauge/scale settings. You can create a custom setting with your required settings: 2_170823_430000000.png There are 4 custom slots located at the bottom of the list, so you can have 4 different settings in them if needed. 2. the track centre spacings are template-specific. So an easy way to retain some settings for future use is to store a template ...

... the combining and aligning for you. You have done well with the double crossover at the junction, I recognise the similarity with the live session clips. I agree that it is almost certainly an offset half-scissors rather than an outside slip. Do you have any prototype photos of this location? Start by overlaying two turnouts, facing and trailing, and roam them onto the toe marks on the map. After a quick dabble the south one is looking to be about B-7 and the north one about C-10. Both look to be regular V-crossings with extended entry straights to get all the V-crossings clear of one another: 2_111814_290000000.png To create the K-crossings, peg dummy plain track templates onto the switch heel or entry straight, curve them to match the turnout roads, and then make a diamond crossing at their intersection. I will have a go at that and maybe make a bit of video. when I try to move I am only moving an unwanted template that I can't seem to delete no matter ...
