... topic: 3076 Important -- 215a map screenshots posted: 10 Sep 2017 18:19 from: Martin Wynne There is an important point to make about using the new screenshot maps function in 215a. I failed to make this clear in the notes. When the embedded browser appears it is important that its zoom setting is set to display images dot-for-dot. Otherwise Templot's size calculations for the screenshot will be wrong. This is the case when it first appears, but you need to take care not to change it. To zoom the map, make sure to use the+/- buttons on the map, or click on the map and then use the mouse wheel. That way the web site will receive the wheel activity and adjust the URL accordingly. Take care not to zoom the entire browser page by clicking off the map -- for example on the header section -- and then using Ctrl+ Wheel or the usual browser keyboard shortcuts for zooming. If you do that Templot will not know that you have done ...

Or maybe the track centre-line radius for the turnout road (the curved road)? regards, Martin. posted: 23 Dec 2009 14:29 from: marc witten Hi Martin,yes the actual radius of the inner rail of the curved road,regards Marc.

... to hide the pegs and notches? Hi Vikas, Yes -- click the pad> pad background options> pad background templates detail... menu item. Then untick the box for fixing peg. There is only one notch, so it doesn't present the same problem -- geometry> notch> reset notch on pad datum usually moves it out of the way. That should actually say grid datum, not pad datum. Sorry about that, I will change it. It's strange how such errors can lie unnoticed for 10 years. regards, Martin.

847. Background images
... topic: 3099 Background images posted: 8 Oct 2017 11:55 from: Tim Lee I am working with a mac using crossover. The NLS maps facility is non functional... presumably because mac doesn't run the correct browser. I have my track plan background within a cad programme with the NLS 25" map imported as an image and re scaled to the correct size. I have exported this as a series of jpgs (2100mm x 900mm) at 1:76.2 scale.... so when imported into templot they should come in at the rights size to scale. The drag and drop function doesn't work. I can import direct from file and it comes in to the background. It won't allow me to rescale (haven't checked if I need to or not). It won't save the image. I am assuming that I am doing something wrong but can't find any advice which appears to match my symptoms. Tim posted: 8 Oct 2017 12:43 from: Tim Lee Not to worry.... I ...

I'm sure you will find lots of friendly track-building help here. <Snip> I think it is fair to say that many modellers building their own track in this scale would use the 2mm finescale standards rather than commercial N Gauge -- that of course has implications for RTR rolling stock conversions, wheel changing, etc. I would be doubtful that stripping components from Peco turnouts would produce very successful hand-built track, ...
849. Laser Cut Templates
... be sufficient of a challenge to fit them all with finer profile wheels! It might be possible- in vees greater than 6- to solder only the curved stock rail and flex the resulting fish-bone to an acceptable radius before attaching the other stock rail and closure rails. Acceptable in my case meaning a substitution radius of no less than 24" (equivalent to 46.5 inches in EM) Tight but not (he rationalizes) too unsightly! Again, thanks for the interest. Donald posted: 23 Nov 2009 18:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Donald, Using the DXF export to create that pattern is a lot of work and expense. Have you considered simply sticking the template to thick card and cutting out the pattern? It would then be easier to make several sizes and also have curved turnouts. It's a shame to hand build trackwork and not gain the full design flexibility it offers. If your printer has a straight feed path, you may be able to print the template directly on to thick card. Alternatively you can convert a ...

... topic: 977 0-SF Track Gauges posted: 21 Nov 2009 17:10 from: BeamEnds It's been a while.... after a year and more that has suffered from the old Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times" the light at the end of the tunnel has finally stopped receding and I might actually get round to making some track. I tried to get some of these made (a long time ago!), but the bod who was going to do it has expired. Are there any available yet, or is going back to 0-FS going to be easier?

... topic: 3105 Large format printing posted: 12 Oct 2017 12:47 from: Nigel Cornish Hi, I am the project manager for a new build '00' layout at the High Wycombe& District Model Railway Society. It is a representation of Oxford station and environs around august 1960. It is some 32ft long and 10 ft wide. The scenic part is around 32ft x 4ft and it is this that I would like to print out, preferably on a continuous sheet of paper. Are there any commercial printers who can take a Templot file and print out the layout to scale? Regards Nigel. posted: 12 Oct 2017 12:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Nigel, Welcome to Templot Club. Yes, you can export your track plan from Templot as a PDF file, which can be printed by many commercial printers as a single roll sheet. The usual width limit is 42".

Derek posted: 7 Mar 2010 15:16 from: Martin Wynne Dellboy wrote: How did you determine the 48.67mm spacing between the tracks? Hi Derek, It's the equivalent of 7ft way, i.e.1ft increase on the minimum 6ft way to allow for vehicle overhang on the curves. Just a guess, but it's usually enough. I haven't forgotten your video showing how to check such curves for adequate clearance. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Mar 2010 10:39 from: allanferguson Martin Wynne wrote: The diamond-crossing is an irregular diamond, meaning that the radii in the two roads differ.
