... topic: 2093 Help needed to locate original storage box posted: 30 Oct 2012 21:55 from: Mal2085 My apologies if this has already been raised before but I am having trouble trying to find some track plans from some time ago. this is my tale and I hope some knowledgable soul may be able to help and point me in the right direction. I bought Templot a few years ago, plugged away at it and managed to complete a couple of track plans placing them in my storage box. Having achieved the plans I printed one out and put it away for another day in anticipation of making a start on track laying. Regrettably that didn't happen, the track plan looked a bit dog-eared when I found it with some bits missing, in the interim I had also changed my computer. Once again my thoughts turned to the old track plan and I went to the Templot Website. I had not visited templot for many months, possibly years. All had changed, Templot 2 was now the software and so I downloaded ...
... Similarly with 0-MF, which I am considering despite it seeming to be counter-intuitive to make the gauge even narrower. (but going the other way to S7 is definitely out, not least because I own too many wheels!) I do have one scratchbuilt loco with Alan Harris wheels set to 29.4 b-to-b and I will need to check if this is happy with the crucial "check rail to opposite rail-face" measurement in 0-MF. So, all in all quite a few parameters to play around with, and some useful additions to my knowledge of trackwork. Again many thanks for your help, and all best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

... : Nigel Brown I've never understood why Epson provides printers with a perfectly good roll paper mechanism and then fails to provide matt paper rolls which can be used on it. Annoying! My R800 has just been pensioned off. I'd like to go A3, but am dithering between R1500, R2000 and R3000. Whether it's worthwhile sticking out for a roll feed facility is a significant question. In the meantime I'm making do with an R200, and am pleasantly surprised with the (photographic) results I'm getting. I did investigate a few roll paper options with the R800, but found nothing which satisfied me. posted: 22 Dec 2012 15:11 from: Tony Errington Hi Richard and thanks for the early reply. My R3000 is literally just out of the box so I think I will wait a while before I try the lining paper. If A3 worked fine then I will have a go with the cheapest A3+ that I can find as at least that gives me 28% more area and therefore less sheets to stick together. I actually have ...
... to use Potassium Permanganate solution (which is bright purple but stains wood brown) and I recall that working well. You can get your KMnO4 from a chemist's though they might ask what you want it for! My suggestion would be to do what I did- experiment a bit until you get what you need- the real thing varies a lot in colouring I think. Since this pic was taken I have done a bit of painting and weathering- if I can get my camera to work again, I will past a few more pics and put a link here.

When I open up Templot I get to the Program menu and click 're-load' which has bought back my previous work sheet. I have a background onto which over a few days I managed to enter some basic track work, and yesterday spent about 4 hours sorting a switch diamond and other track work and got to the stage where (apart from tweaking timbers etc), I was happy with my overall layout plan. This morning however I opened up in the normal way and all yesterdays work had gone and I can't find it anywhere- only the background with my initial basic trackwork. Previously, as I added a new template I've clicked 'store and background' and then moved on to my ...
... (which I'm quite happy with) is made up of Tillig& Peco 00 code 83, I've opted to go 00-SF code 75 bullhead rail soldered on copper clad 1.06mm sleepers for the new scenic section. I will obviously have to create/manufacture connecting pieces for the transition from code 83 to 75. This section of the layout is 10' x 6' 6" max, and was of course drawn with the invaluable help of TEMPLOT. 2626_040729_010000000.png The concept is a single line branch junction, steam with a few diesels using 3 coach trains. Due to cutbacks, part of the line is now disused and the station forms a terminus with run round facility. The other main line is predominantly freight with the occasional through passenger (its actually a continuous run). When the line was fully operational, being about half way along the branch, it provided limited loco facilities for engine changes- which still survive. The only fixed items at the moment are A and B being entries onto the scenic board, and the fiddle yard storage ...

... was mentioned. And the question was asked about it's current status. Can Martin/ anyone enlighten us please? Many thanks, Howard. posted: 20 Feb 2013 12:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Howard, The Adavoyle Junction layout is now in the care of the South Dublin Model Railway Club: http://www.sdmrc.hobbysites.net/articles.php?article_id=4 I'm not sure about the current status of the layout. As far as I know it is still in working order, and Tony Miles has visited the club a few times to help them keep it so. I think it has been exhibited by them at least once. David Sutton of this parish may know more. Tony's BRM articles about the layout are available online: http://www.model-railways-live.co.uk/userfiles/files/brm036-042%20Adavoyle.pdf http://www.model-railways-live.co.uk/userfiles/files/brm054-59%20Adavoyle%20part%202.pdf More about Adavoyle Junction: http://templot.com/GNRI/adavoyle.htm regards, Martin. ...

... currently working on this, and I think I have it working ok. It means yet more options on the sketchboard, but hopefully the default will work fine on most layout plans: 2_071211_500000000.png This option keeps the full resolution for the track templates, but allows the sketchboard items to be output at a lower resolution. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Jun 2013 12:01 from: LSWRArt Thanks Martin That looks good. Best wishes Arthur posted: 8 Jun 2013 22:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Arthur, A few screenshots for comparison. I replaced your signal box outline with Brian's bitmap image: 2_080722_330000000.png This is the current version 207a output at 600 DPI, with sketchboard items included: 2_080722_350000004.png This corresponds to the new full output resolution option in the dialog. It produces very good quality output, but as you found it is very slow on large track plans. Any items larger than about 1200 mm (at 600 DPI) will not appear, and several error messages are possible. A well-specified computer system is needed. This ...
870. Joggles
... of flat bottom rail? Thanks J Hi Julia Joggle is the term used in my copy of British Railway Track so I think that is a reasonable authority for the the use of the term. The techniques for making joggles described in the 2mm book, which include using it for FB rail, work well in that scale and I think they would probably work in 4mm scale, although you might need to use a vice rather than pliers to press the rail. It would be easy enough to try as it only requires a few scraps of brass and a short length of rail. The form of chamfering illustrated by Martin is designed to minimise the removal of steel from the stock rail in order to maintain its strength. Luckily this aspect of rail strength is much less of an issue for modellers so we can use a version where most of the foot of the stock rail is filed away in a simple taper and the switch has a matching taper.

871. Making 6ft Way 7 ft
... and then fiddling with the gauge settings. I thought I had changed my track spacings but I also suspect I have just added to my confusion as the spacing ring may not have been at the dia I needed. I then probably compounded my mistake by not setting the control template correctly so that my subsequent test pieces were wrong as well. Oh well, we live and learn. So my way ahead is: Try out your suggestions and get more comfortable with doing things the correct way. (This may also involve a few more tutorials). Then start the bigger project from the beginning again and hope that I don't lose my way quite so easily. Thanks again for your help.

... been solved? Thanks for any feedback. Full details at: topic 2009 For the next update I have made a minor change to the working of the TAB key. regards, Martin. posted: 22 Mar 2013 13:24 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, As you say, It seems to be working very well and impressively so. The only squawk I have is, that you have changed the adjustable scaling of the 'background shapes' input menu down to only two decimal places which caused me some problem. A few months ago I was assisting a model railway group to work out a track plan for S7 modelling, and the original plans they had, which was of a proto site, had not been printed to any of the normal usual scales. I ended up with having to 'inch' the background shape input to a scale of 643.288 to get a known length on the actual ground to the correct S7 model length on the background image. When I re-visited the plan recently. I found I could now I could only ...
... Howard, Yes, that's intended. Prototypically it is quite rare for a platform to be alongside the diverging road of a turnout. However, if you do need that: 1. copy the turnout to the control. 2. click tools> make split> make plain track turnout road> on external geometrical radius menu item. If that menu item is greyed out: a. if the peg is on CTRL-0 put it on CTRL-1 (or anywhere except CTRL-0). b. add a few sleepers of approach track (F3 mouse action). c. try 2. again. Add more approach track until it is not greyed out. 3. click geometry> track centre-lines only menu item. 4. click real> platforms... menu item and add a turnout-side platform. 5. if necessary, put the peg on CTRL-1 and shorten it (F4 mouse action). 6. store and background it (INSERT key). regards, Martin. posted: 31 ...
... to control the direction of derailed wheels. Mark, the Deltas sound interesting. What does it look like? Is it an attempt to get check rails into the very confined space of the crossing? Kev, Australian railways were mostly built to English practice in the mid 1800's. Most of the locomotives, rolling stock, materials, track design, lead/ turnouts, indeed, the whole kit and caboodle including the engineers in charge were imported from the "Mother Country". We didn't have the industrial capabilities for quite a few years, and then we didn't have the capacity for a while after that.

875. Windows8 ?
... topic: 2157 Windows8? posted: 11 Feb 2013 11:06 from: Martin Wynne Windows8 has now been available for a few months and is receiving a very mixed reaction. And no reaction at all from Templot users? I'm assuming that no news is good news and that Templot installs and runs on Windows8 without any problems. But it would be nice if someone said so. Or not. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Feb 2013 11:19 from: Glen Suckling Hi Martin, As far as I am concerned your assumption is correct. TEMPLOT runs fine in Windows 8. Just one note- during the installation process Windows 8 decided, all by itself, that it was going to run TEMPLOT in XP compatability mode. I did not change this setting. It did the same thing for dBASE Plus. Glen posted: 11 Feb 2013 13:29 from: PRChappell Hi Martin I have be using Templot2 under Windows 8 and so far everything seems fine. I guess it is "No News is Good News"!! ...

Although in my case it doesn't need a restart, the icon updates when I click on it. I think we just have to accept a few foibles when using Wine. I'm always amazed at how well Templot runs under Crossover/Wine -- I have some other Windows programs which either won't run at all, or become very clunky. regards, Martin.

The colour selector dialog appears with the picked colour now added to the custom colours. Click it to select it as the new colour for the rectangle: 2_281243_420000004.png And the colours now match: 2_281244_340000000.png In the next program update. Notice that I have also added a few custom colours in the top row by default. If you want to make space for a lot of new picked custom colours, simply change any unwanted ones to white. There is also a tools> get colour at mouse menu item for use on the trackpad when the sketchboard is not visible. But unfortunately there is no free keyboard shortcut available on the trackpad. The custom colours are now included in the program preferences between sessions. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Apr 2013 11:08 from: Phil O Hi ...

Not sure this is the correct place for this post, but anyway.... Don't worry -- I wish I had a pound for every time that happens on here. I will tidy it up in due course. (long time no see...)
