There appears quite a few of these "ultra portable" laptops now available for about £200, I've even found one with XP, (but as it has a VIA C7m processor it may not be suitable). I'm not that interested in Email on the move, but Templot on the move, that would certainly make my breaks more interesting.

Hi Donald, Thanks for your comments. The idea as shown is just something simple which anyone can do in a few minutes while track building. There are lots of ways of taking it forward for those who like making jigs and tools. An ordinary letter embossing or riveting press might be adapted, or you could make a "falling weight on a stick" device as sometimes used for a riveting tool. Or you could set it up on a small drill press with the tool in the chuck. Any method of improvising a v-press to make a bend in rail has the advantage over using pliers that the result is truly symmetrical ...
823. A Printing Problem
... on is running on Vista; the dpi is set to 600. I've checked and I was using Portrait; I've just tried 30" by 72" also, with the same problem. Whilst the Print Preview function in Templot doesn't show a problem, it's after conversion to PDF via PDF995 that the fun starts- even before I try to use the roller printer (just opening the PDF file shows that trackwork is missing). I previously used size A2 and Landscape- this got most of the track plan but missed a few sleepers between each of the four sheets (meaning the turnout didn't print correctly as it was on a join). The roll of paper is definitely 36" wide, by the way. p.s Do sheet alignment marks get printed automatically, or do I need to select them please? Many thanks Brian posted: 30 Oct 2008 16:54 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Which version of Templot are you using?

Martin. posted: 28 Jul 2008 17:39 from: davelong Hi Martin Thanks for posting the link, I hadn't got round to posting on here. I'll add a few more from the construction photos I have. Once again thanks for Templot. Without this I wouldn't have even attempted this kind of trackwork. The pointwork is a mixture of B6.5s and B7.5s and the tightest radii is iirc 45.7" with the highest coming in around the 85" mark. The tight knitting of the points in the sidings was only possible with handbuilt track, and doesn't actually take up that much room, which is perfect. Kind regards Dave Last edited on 28 Jul 2008 17:46 by davelong posted: ...

826. Help with printing
... any problems with anything else so I suspect that it is not specifically a Vista/driver issue. The background image is greyscale but I am not including the background shape in the print. In fact I have generated a new template spanning 4 pages to try and sort out what is happening. I have tried printing both colour and greyscale and unchecked any infilling to try and reduce the file size but to no avail. Hi Phil, Thanks for the details. I don't have Vista here, nor any printer less than a few years old, so it is difficult for me to test. So calling everyone using Vista -- any problems in printing multiple pages? And is anyone using an Epson DX4850 with Templot? Any problems? Phil, if you attach your .box file here, other Vista users can have a go at printing it and report any problems. A possible workaround is to install a virtual printer PDF generator such as pdf995 (free) or Win2PDF and print your template pages to that as PDF files. Set the graphics dpi for ...
... loose-heel switch. This is the prototype position of the blade pivot. However, if you are using over-scale flangeways, you will probably need to make the blades longer in order to have a full flangeway clearance behind the open blade. The pivot is often made using short fishplates which are not fully tightened onto the rails, hence the term "loose" heel. D= rail joint on flexible switch. This is a conventional solid fishplated rail joint at the end of the switch blade. For the next few timbers towards the blade tips the rail is held solid in the chairs, and beyond that it is free to flex. E= rail joints in the stock rails. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Sep 2008 15:18 from: Templot User -- --- from Robert Kosmider -- --- Thank you Martin, Wonderful reply.

... Then it all goes together quite nicely. The tandem checking looks ok, and I managed not to have it on a transition: scott_nbr1.png scott_nbr2.png scott_nbr3.png I will get the tandem finished and some timbers shoved and then perhaps make a bit of video. regards, Martin. posted: 30 Sep 2008 23:52 from: Scott Willis Martin Thank you very much for that, it looks great. I didn't expect you to take it as far as you have or as quick as you have, It would have taken me a few late nights. One thing I seem to have problems with is making tandems/3 -ways, it will be interesting to see the video. I initially thought there might be a problem producing the turnout leading off the tandem. When looking at the published plan, this turnout looked like it could be at too tight an angle to produce the long curved siding. You have made it all fit very well. Looking forward to see the final product. Regards Scott. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you ...

... that you close all other significant applications before loading such a file into Templot. Especially Microsoft applications such as Internet Explorer and Word. A better solution would be to split this file into sections, and have say 15 picture shapes in a 5 x 3 grid, each 3678 x 2667. They will still be 28MB each, which I would normally regard as large, and each approximately equivalent to scanning a full A4 page at 300dpi. Then load the image only for the section on which you are working, or maybe a few adjacent sections. The panning and zooming speeds will be very much improved. For the other picture shapes at present you can click the picture content:> reload button and temporarily load a small place-holder image. In 091c you could clear a picture shape by clicking cancel on the reload dialog, but that was non-intuitive and I have now changed it. Instead I will add a clear button in TDV, if I can find room for it. Thanks for drawing my attention to the need for it. ...
... " is now called "curviform crossing". This is a name change only, the function and meaning is unchanged. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jan 2015 23:33 from: Chris Copplestone Hi Martin, you said: "For regular V-crossings the position of the marker can be adjusted using SHIFT+ F11 mouse action. This changes the lead length of the turnout without changing the crossing angle, which can be useful in some situations." It certainly is! I have been struggling for the last few hours trying to get a conductor rail to match the the turnout stock rails on four C10 curved turnouts in a scissors crossover. I was trying to follow the instructions in message 14890 without luck. However, simply copying the turnout, changing the gauge to 28.35, aligning the datum pegs on the turnouts using the notch and then using Shift+ F11 to align the turnout centre-lines gives a perfect result!

... Thanks for the ideas, but I'm afraid that's impossible and gives me the screaming habdabs just to imagine what it would involve. Any automation will have to involve one background template, and the control template (as for all the other similar functions). Even for that we need a mechanism to select and show the required rail on the background template. Several functions and menu items already refer to the "crossing rail" or "stock rail", etc. I know which rail is which, but I suspect quite a few users don't. I think it would be helpful to highlight individual rails when using these functions, so I'm looking at a general means to do that. Of course it would render several screenshots and videos even more out of date -- a powerful disincentive to making any changes. regards, Martin. posted: 31 Jul 2013 13:27 from: David R Martin Wynne wrote: Thanks for the ideas, but I'm afraid that's impossible and gives me the screaming habdabs just to imagine what it would involve.

... - no timbering 27. Click do- omit rails and joint marks 28. Delete everything except the stock rail you wish to retain as the conductor rail. If you look closely at the image above, you can see an overlap with the turnout to the right of the template. F3 (approach road) applied to each template in turn cures that. Note that I have used F4 to shorten the template so that the uppermost rail will form a V with the plain track above it. I will bring this back a few more timbers using F4 to clear the other conductor rail ramp. 29. Click Main- store and background null 1876_280556_580000000.png That's better! The conductor rails are now where I want them. There is a portion where the two turnouts meet where both sides have a conductor rail, but reference to photos will determine if this is correct. This is actually a trap point from the sidings, so the lowermost conductor rail is ok to terminate where it does (see image below). null 1876_280654_470000000.png With these extra rails on the ...
... topic: 2249 Diamond crossing construction posted: 3 Jul 2013 10:47 from: LSWRArt On a diamond crossing, I am not sure what you call the piece of running rail with one end filed to an point between the K-rail and the check rail? More importantly, how do I make one? On the few pictures I can find it looks as if many modellers have left the rail straight and just filed the tip off at an angle. I cannot find any pictures of the real K-crossing crossing pre-grouping or even in the early days of grouping. But I would have thought that if you make the rail head like this, it will mean that the rail head is not supported at the tip by the rail web? So should these rails be made in the same way as a V-crossing point rail? i.e. bend 10mm (in 0 gauge) towards the running face, file railhead only on the running side to make the running surface straight again; and then file the crossing angle on ...

... manage to copy all I wanted to, on to a disc. As I am relatively new to '7', and I've restored it before, I saw something I didn't see before. I did not do a complete restore. Just the operating system and found that once I reinstalled Templot, all my drawing were right where they belonged. The photos disappeared, and I can load those up again, but the all the track plan work stayed put. The plans I've done, follow civil engineering practices. I've read a few books on the subject, viewed many youtube vids, a lot from East Indian universities, real railroad track specs, cad design model layout programs and as much simple curve, easment curve, track cant and turnout arithmatic as I could find. Google map screen shot and USGS maps are also used here. So, yes, I didn't want to lose all that. Perhaps I could display some of this and start a bit of conversation. I'd like that idea.
