... of partial templates in the clean-up rises by the day! (2) how can I detail the ends of wing and check rails where a rail intersects them -- the cut ends need to be angled to match the intersecting line? I can remove the flare and adjust the lengths but cannot see how to adjust the end shape to match the angle of the intersecting rail. I'm spending hours on this with little obvious progress. Any help would be most appreciated. Regards Geoff posted: 26 Mar 2019 17:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Geoff, Welcome to Templot Club. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, something like this perhaps? 2_261206_010000000.png If not, please can you attach your .box file or post a screenshot? Is the tandem double-sided or single-sided? What are the turnout crossing angles? You can change the angle on the end of a check rail by adjusting the flare length (before shortening it). cheers, Martin. posted: 26 Mar 2019 17:30 from: Geoff Lines Hello ...

... of the switches. Fine. Now on the EMGS point there are 5 slide chairs and 4 standard chairs. Looking at the Templot B6 this would bring the start of the flexible part of the switch perilously close to the adjacent stock rail, which I suspect would make it very hard to get adequate clearance between open switch and stock rail. Hi Nigel, I know nothing about the EMGS turnouts, I can talk only about the prototype: 2_141732_480000000.jpg On a prototype REA B-switch, the switch rails span a total of 10 timbers (i.e. 9 beyond the first stretcher bar). The first 6 timbers have slide chairs. They are easily identified in photos because the stock rail is bolted to them, and the bolts are easily seen on the outside of the rail. Beyond the 6 slide chairs there are 4 block chairs, numbered 1 ..4, handed for left or right side. In the first 2 block chairs the switch rail is not constrained on the inside, and is free to flex open. They could also be called slide ...

I understand the external geometric radius is the substitution radius of the turnout. What's the internal geometric radius? Hi Nigel, see: topic 397 The internal geometric radius is a single arc between the the main road and the V-crossing. i.e. similarly to the external geometric radius it disregards the switch deflection, planing, etc., and also any crossing entry straight for a regular V-crossing. It is the same radius as for a gaunt turnout with zero gaunt offset and a generic V-crossing: 2_090726_270000001.png It's important to note that the geometric tangency positions do not normally coincide with any ...

But if you have several templates to add or remove, you can use the group> create smaller group> click templates to/from group menu item: 2_251649_140000000.png Before doing that you need to have the template name labels on, otherwise it won't work.

Is there any way I can shift either the templates on the pages so they're less likely to coincide with the page edges or move the pages? posted: 31 May 2018 11:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roy, You can do either. To move the page outlines to match the templates better, use this mouse action: 2_020706_170000000.png move page origin (SHIFT+ CTRL+ F10). You will see the outlines of the printed pages and be able to move them to best fit your templates. Make sure you have set your printer to the paper size first. n.b. if you have been exporting PDF files, make sure the page outlines have been reset for the printer: 2_020727_520000000.png If you prefer to move the templates on the grid instead, use the shift group mouse action.

... being so, for those who want something finer I'm minded to revert Templot to the original setting: 0-SF 31.2mm track gauge, 1.2mm* flangeway so that the check gauge is again the correct 30.0mm dimension. The track gauge is always a minimum dimension, so the Guild version at 31.25mm with 30.0mm check gauge is compatible, and simply represents a fractional gauge widening for curves. *will be in the next program update 221a shortly. Thanks for the nudge. cheers, Martin. posted: 1 Jun 2018 23:10 from: David Gregory Hi Martin Thanks for the welcome, quick reply and all that great information- explains everything. Apologies if I've resurrected something that was better left to moulder... If I've already built my plan to the existing Templot O-SF standard, would I have a problem when the program is next updated (and the standard is reverted to 1.2mm flangeway)? Second question if I may: I've just created a Templot custom gauge 0-SF(R ), using the revised standards (31.25 ...

If the loco is balanced on a turntable it can be turned by hand. Bembridge is the usual example, here's a picture: http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/b /bembridge/index18.shtml The pit was boarded over, so easy to model.

... Templot templates being simply construction aids, to being full descriptive drawings. Bear in mind that for wider than scale model flangeways, for good tracking through K-crossings the check rail bends need to be as sharp as possible, to maximize the checked length. This differs from the situation with the wing-rail knuckle bends in V-crossings. Fortunately, unlike the wing rails, REA check rails are always vertical, which makes it much easier to make sharp bends than in inclined rail. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Jul 2018 08:32 from: richard_t Thanks Martin With so much else going on here, I'm refraining from looking at the Templot codebase, however tempting the prospect is.

... in BRT4 (1971 edition) all such references have been changed to "trap points" and "trap roads". See p.150. The sprung trailing catch points installed on gradients are now called "runaway catch points". So both are right. But for most of the bullhead era popular with modellers they seem to have been called catch points by p.w. staff. Referring to the physical object as "trap points" seems to be a modern flat-bottom usage. regards, Martin. posted: 26 Jul 2018 10:03 from: rodney_hills Hello Martin, Yes, that's exactly what my last two sentences in my post alluded to. Now, about Scott's WEIGHTED catch.. Your refs also indicate springing was usual practice.... I am reminded of a visit that I made to London Transport's White City training centre many years ago. The guide demonstrated the operation of a rather large wall mounted circuit breaker. Another visitor then asked the guide why the breaker did not use springs to operate rather than use gravity, to which ...
... for the error code, I cannot really help as I had been doing quite a lot of things prior to it happening. The.machine has 16Gb of RAM so it must be the program somehow. I will have another go today, all else fails I do have a non-Templot solution available to me.
