... topic: 3530 Peco Templates in Templot. posted: 22 Oct 2019 10:43 from: Dasatcopthorne Hi All. After building in 00-SF I am currently unable to build my own track for various reasons so I am resorting to the new Peco BH. I've downloaded the Larger Radius turnout templates from here but I need a Template for the Peco Long Slip. Double or single just so I can see if my new layout plan will fit the space available. I've search the Forum but nothing came up, so has anyone made one please that they are happy to share. Thanks Dave Smith posted: 22 Oct 2019 11:50 from: Martin Wynne Dasatcopthorne wrote: Hi All.

885. Irregular slips
... topic: 3840 Irregular slips posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:10 from: Graham Long I have started making a single slip. My initial step was to "make irregular diamond at intersection". The setup is a main road of 6000mm radius with an adjacent loop road on a radius 6044.67. The ladder turnout was a 1:8 with a resultant turnout radius of 4286.96. The slip will go from the loop road (6044.67 radius) to the branch. This resulted in a one V of 4.37 and the other of 6.86 I thought these were relatively generous curves. However, in another topic Martin mentioned that a V of 1:5 was much to small for a slip road. What is considered to be the smallest V that I could use? I could make the branch curve bigger but then there wouldn't be a the same curvature through the ladder and turnout. I would also be interested to know how close the V should be to a whole number or half of one e.g. 1:6, 1:6.5, ...

I've also seen the same phenomenon, but just edit the install path when I see that it's not correct. Edit- Templot does of course remember where it was installed! I've just reinstalled it and the default path is exactly where I left it. 105_010412_360000000.png Cheers, Paul Last edited on 1 Aug 2019 09:12 by Paul Boyd posted: 1 Aug 2019 10:01 from: Les Fram Hi Martin Just to clear up the exact circumstances of my recent update failure, I have been using Templot 2 for some years and installed quite a few updates, all successfully, until now including transfer to a new computer.

... be thought out. Anyway that preamble is pretty irrelevant to my question, now that I'm grappling with fitting turnouts onto the map that I've managed to get onto the background. Is there a back button? I keep making stupid errors, and cannot find a simple way of undoing them. Sorry if this is the most banal question. I'm not at all computer savvy though after several hours on this task am getting slightly more into practice, but keep hitting the same problem.

What must be done to move the whole lot? Hi Matthew, There isn't any way to move the control template and a group of background templates at the same time. There isn't normally any reason to do that. If it's essential, the way to do it would be to store the control template, include it in the group being moved, and then delete it back into the control template afterwards.

890. Turnout
... would be a Y or V shape. That is the best I can describe I'm afraid posted: 23 Nov 2017 22:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Peter, Welcome to Templot Club. Your description is a bit difficult to follow. In general, short turnouts have steeper/sharper V-crossing angles, turnouts with shallow/flatter V-crossing angles are longer. Here are two turnouts to illustrate that: 2_231715_250000000.png The top one has a 1:4 V-crossing. The bottom one has a 1:10 V-crossing. The easy way to change between these and other sizes in-between is to use the F5 mouse action. If you could post a screenshot or sketch showing what you are trying to achieve, it will be easier to provide a better answer. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Nov 2017 22:30 from: Andrew Barrowman "In general, short turnouts have steeper/sharper V-crossing angles" But the pointy bit is sharper on the bottom one posted: 23 Nov 2017 22: ...
891. skeleton mouse draw
... topic: 3159 skeleton mouse draw posted: 16 Dec 2017 10:36 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin, Am I just getting old and forgetful or did the following happen randomly or did I switch something on? I selected F7 (Move) and when I pressed the mouse button to activate and actually move the control template, the timbers disappeared and reappeared at the end of the move. The same happened for Shift-F9, I liked it but can't remember if it's happened before. I have just tried a few more; F6-Curve, F4_Length, F8-Rotate.

Add it to your trackplan and then select and copy templates as above. I think a save group as library templates function would be a useful addition to Templot, so I will look at that. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. cheers, Martin.

When you have some templates in a track plan, you always must make a new control or double track to use it with library functions. Or there is a copy function i am not aware of. The "add file" is also a very good option, never thought of it to use it for single templates, i only used it to get groups(box files of bits and pieces of my entire layout) in ...
... 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 ...
894. 'Slewing' curves
... , but you will still often want to use curviform if you need the tracks to diverge rapidly. 3. where a regular V-crossing is used you can usually change to a generic V-crossing instead if you are modelling in P4, S7, etc., and prefer. But not if the combination of switch and crossing sizes would cause the turnout radius to exceed the switch radius, e.g. A not more than A-7, B not more than B-8, C not more than C-10, etc. (for standard-gauge, broad-gauge and narrow-gauge are different). For such longer sizes always use regular V-crossings. Generally generic crossings are more difficult to build in model form because the turnout curve runs through the knuckle up to the fine-point. Especially when using wider than scale flangeways (00, EM, etc.). Which is why Templot defaults to regular V-crossings. Also the regular V-crossings shorten the turnout a bit, which is usually ...
895. 85a Models
... topic: 2902 85a Models posted: 18 Jul 2016 10:20 from: Cartaret Okay, many years ago I built a 7mm layout using C& L components I hand built all of the buildings etc. The Layout went out a couple of times, but at the time I felt that the please had come from the design and construction. Also I had a large H0 Austrian exhibition layout called "Prutz" on the exhibition circuit. I digress... I built a lot of 7mm stock plus loco's. But I also obtained one of the 85a Hunslets.. Lovely model BUT...The coupling rods no longer stay on the loco. Basically this is due to the fact the plastic inserts for the back of the wheels have worn out. Now I don't mind putting a new chassis into the loco, but for the sake of 6 securing inserts made of plastic I could save a lot of my hard earned wedge. Some Modellers have reamed out the wheels to take the Slaters cranks etc and that may be the next course of ...

... see Noch (I think) does one in H0 scale which pivots at one end, It would be simple to build, as in practice similar to a segment of a turntable (pivoting at the end rather than the middle). My question is was there a prototype in the UK of this type of arrangement, in the back of my mind the Isle of Wight comes to mind posted: 21 Jun 2018 09:06 from: John Palmer Bembridge had a sector plate, I think. posted: 21 Jun 2018 10:28 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, A turntable is more likely than a sector plate at a small station. 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.

... topic: 3583 Baseboards posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:10 from: Mick Just one question, can I enter the size of the base board and then fit the track to it? Regards Mick posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:33 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mick, Welcome to Templot Club. Yes, there are several ways to create baseboard outlines on the trackpad. If the baseboard is rectangular, the easiest way is to use the quick baseboard function like this: 2_182126_430000000.png That creates a rectangle in the background shapes functions. They are saved in a BGS3 file separately from your track plan so that you can try different track plans on the same baseboard(s) without entering the board details every time. cheers, Martin.
