... under a more accurate heading. Progress to date- GWR 2 bolt slide rail chairs, whilst the slide-rail part is coming out OK, achieving a full filling of the mold for the chair part is proving difficult and I shall have to accept that this is going to have to wait until I can try it with my centrifugal machinery (which is currently in limbo), probably sometime in September and even that might not work, so I have to consider going to proper pressure casting- I'll have to save a few pennies up first. The 7mm scale items are coming out somewhat better so the platform support walls will be available soon, as will the resin (non-functional) crossing nose castings and non-functional heyback type chairs for Flatbottom Rail. I have added some photos to my website for the platform support walls and resin crossing nose castings. More news soon.

... set the printer to Print Direct to Printer, but a strange phenomenon in that the printer won't start until I've sent the next page to it or hit Omit Remaining Pages F12. I also notice that if I run out of paper after putting say 10 pages into the queue, the print queue includes pages already printed and after loading more paper and pressing the start button, the printer prints all the pages again! It seems to build up a huge print queue and when I printed off about 20 pages in a run a few weeks back, the print queue was several Gbytes in size. That's another reason why I've gone over to printing page by page. I also experience the BSOD when printing a large print run and more often than not a complete crash. Never mind, Windows XP dies next April, so I'll have to consider moving to 7 -or- learning how to use the Ubuntu Linux system that I have on dual boot... after all, I HAVE learnt Templot and even TurboCad so how difficult can it be? ...
844. Partial Templates
... topic: 2270 Partial Templates posted: 25 Jul 2013 17:34 from: Chris Mitton Hi Martin I'm attempting a complicated formation that will need a few "partial templates"- the plan looks messy enough already! [It's actually going to be, hopefully, something like the notoriously bizarre formation at Braintree GER- see message 12556.] My problem is that I can't seem to be able to turn off elements of a particular template- IIRC you do this somewhere in the "generator" menu, but that seems permanently greyed out since I switched to Templot 2.07. What have I done/ not done?

I can give a few quick tips that I have found easy to understand though. Many of the tutorial are done by "old timers" (no offence intended) who do things in ways that beginners find difficult to follow- a bit like pre-Windows users who stick to all the things they had to use before mice were invented. Firstly, it is often best to start an awkward piece of track as plain track. Get it on the alignment you want, then use Template/Insert turnout to put a turnout in the formation ...
... many photos as I thought I had and no reference books like the excellent one published for the GWR. I admit I have only spent an evening trawling the Topics here.... Surely this is a path oft trodden by Templotists? HelP! posted: 20 Jun 2013 22:45 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tony, I don't think you should assume that SR and BR(S) had a fixed timbering style. Everything depends on the individual site conditions and traffic. Here's some text that I have posted a few times. Timbering style is a frequently asked question, because there is no clear answer. Generally speaking, equalized timbering was the norm in the pre-grouping period (before the 1920s), and square-on timbering is the standard now. Between then and now you get both. The change was gradual and varied in pace according to local practice. For much of the post-grouping steam era it would be common to see square-on used for main running lines, with older equalized timbered turnouts predominating in ...
... is there any special fixing, or special type of chair for the short point blade (the one between the tracks)? Typically, this rail is only sitting on about 10 chairs, most of which are slide chairs, so what stops this rail moving backwards and forwards? Arthur There will be either one or more bolted chairs or block chairs. There are a couple of pictures in "Track How it Works and How to Model It" that show examples of both these approaches. Although the switches may be only a few sleepers long they will often be A switches so quite sharp with plenty of room for the block chairs.

... Aug 2013 01:23 from: John Palmer This is potentially quite a show stopper, though I can work round it by exporting a dxf file which I can print. Still, I'd like to be able to print from within Templot so I can get the benefit of its calibration facility. 2129_092005_170000000.png Templot is here running on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit O/S) with SP1 installed. I've tried to eliminate possible sources of interference by re-booting and invoking Templot as the only running application, and with as few background processes as I can manage. Templot version is 2.07.a Other applications are printing perfectly satisfactorily to my Samsung CLP-320 laser via the LAN connection to the computer to which it is attached. I even tried re-adding it as a new printer, as per the dialog's recommendation. That resulted in a report from the machine on which I am running Templot that the printer had been added with its related driver, but Templot still couldn't see it. Puzzled by this, as I am pretty sure that Templot has ...

Civil engineering practice is used here. All in feet and inches and the scale used is P87. I'll start with this one and ask for help. What I'm trying to do here is add a track inside the existing one, 14 ft. from the track drawn, 'at the tangents', while keeping the track speed at 45 mph..

... to turn it back on is to select the desired timbering style on the same menu. A bullet point on a menu item means that it is one of a multiple choice group of items -- to deselect the selected item you must click one of the other items. Whereas a tick mark on a menu item means that it is an on-off toggle, and to deselect it you must click it again. This is all basic Windows functionality from the year dot, but surprisingly I have had to explain it a few times recently. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Oct 2013 11:28 from: Martin Wynne Borg-Rail wrote: Template Number 20 DL0021 is the one.

... but if you load Roy's jpg as a background shape etc and then try to fit a Templot template over it, I think from memory, that you will see the problem that using the printer uncalibrated has caused. Hi Stephen, I'm not sure there is anything significantly wrong with the printer calibration. You can fit a 1:7 regular half-diamond in 00-SF over Roy's scan quite well if you curve it to 4300mm radius. The problem seems to be that Roy has rotated one half-diamond by a few degrees relative to the other at the centre, which means that the main road rails through the K-crossings are not properly aligned: 2_271057_420000000.png Roy, I'm puzzled what you are trying to do here? Why not simply forget this old scan, and start again with a new 1:7 slip? It would be much quicker, and a better result, than trying to match this old one. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jan 2014 17:01 from: roythebus The problem is where the blades are ...

Indeed, it seemingly gives you every option under the sun but the one you actually want to just 'do the job'... It is sometimes helpful though, if you ignore all the clap-trap and just draw the tracks in where you want them, a few feet at a time, then do the next bit separately... In fact, I would go as far as to say that becoming an accomplished 'Templot User' is really a hobby in itself, and one only for those who don't really want to spend their precious time actually building railways!

860. Trackbed edge
... cess. And a 5th if you add the boundary fence. However, a short-term fix would be to make the width of the trackbed edge line adjustable to represent the cess. At present it is a bold marker line created by two lines half a rail-width apart. I can add an option to make it say 10mm wide instead to represent the cess, with a hatched infill to save ink. I will look at doing that for the next update, which I'm hoping to have ready in the next few days. For a typical single track railway, the formation would be 15ft wide between each cess, the cess/drain being 2ft-6in wide on each side, giving a total width of 20ft. These dimensions can vary, the formation may be wider, in which case the bottom of the ballast shoulder may not reach to the edge of the formation. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Oct 2012 10:31 from: Ray Hughes Martin Thanks once again for your response.
