... obstructed by a model of Ben Nevis. Also difficult for those graceful gentle curves of 26ft radius. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Sep 2017 20:25 from: mikewturner My first thought was waste of time but given my planned model of Bannavie Junction Martin could have a point! :-) Strikes me would be more attractive if it was laser cut mdf, ply or Perspex.

Then again maybe not. posted: 25 Sep 2017 01:35 from: John Palmer For those with access to the Scalefour Society's Digest Sheets, Section 21-1 offers methods for setting out a curve by versines and by offsets, whilst Section 21-1 -1 shows a method for drawing curves with a triangular shaped trammel, with no access to the radial origin required. I can just about remember using such methods for setting out the the curves of our group ...

Being made of Meccano, it's quite slow. Large images from a digital camera or high-end mobile might be better resized smaller first. 2_171525_260000002.jpg The program can be downloaded from the link below if anyone would like to try it. You will need to jump through the usual Windows security hoops to run it: In Windows 10 you may see something like this: 2_210706_140000000.png Click the More info link. You should then see something like this: 2_210706_140000001.png Click the Run anyway button. It's safe to run. No installation needed, just download and run it. Comments and feedback welcome, as usual. I will write some notes about using it after I have had a boiled egg. cheers, Martin.

Cheers, Paul posted: 9 Sep 2020 12:13 from: Judi R Most websites and/or browsers won't allow an OS earlier than Win 7 to access the internet at all these days, so that should look after itself.

... , instead of 'print group'( I'm waiting for new glasses!). Is there a way to reinstate a group from 'wipe group'? I tried the back key and 'rebuild group' and neither made any difference, so I had to open the saved plan and go through all the group selection process again. I don't save any groups as I'm continually selecting different parts and it's unlikely I will ever need to go back again to a group. It's not the end of the world, just takes me 5-10 mins to set it up again, but knowing you, I'm sure there's a reinstate group after wipe somewhere....

911. 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 ...
... : video: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=QFX1ImgW6cKCf9LCMc_QYw2 slideshow on Yahoo web site: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/templot/photos/photostream The site is a bit slow at the moment -- no doubt everyone is looking at their groups. From Yahoo: "After 11:59pm PST on Saturday, December 14, 2019, all content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed." Clearly that includes all the photos. Whether it will include the archive of 10 years of email messages still remains unclear. However, current email distribution will remain. That means if you still receive your Templot Club emails via the Yahoo group, you will continue to do so. *The official download process is a bit of a palaver.

The picture shape wrapping in Templot was written by me from scratch, specifically for maps and track planning.

... the vee and consequently the K numbered timbers had increased in quantity. However the T numbered timbers had decreased in quantity to just two which were overlapping. I am not sure whether to reduce the T to one and adjust it's position slightly or try to space the two timbers a little. I tried the same in P4 and there is a similar change in rail joint position although there are 4 rather than two T timbers My main question is, why is there a change in the position of the rail joints? posted: 10 Jun 2017 18:02 from: Martin Wynne Godfrey Earnshaw wrote: My main question is, why is there a change in the position of the rail joints?

... 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. I have now located another boxfile for HO and have successfully converted the template I need to 0-NMRA, having remembered to engage brain and select the "match original" option.

... 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 ...
... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... intended for Wine users, and some Windows users may also prefer it. Unlike EWriter it doesn't offer any Search facility, although the A-Z Index is available. It doesn't support any context help functions, so in Wine any such context help opens the online web version instead. But the FBR videos at help> watch a video> should play ok in Wine. The above is all a bit academic until I get a bit more updated content into these help formats. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Feb 2017 10:51 from: JohnB Thanks Martin.
