The constant scrolling and zooming is annoying! Hi Mick, If Templot is constantly zooming, you may have inadvertently set the zoom free option. Change to the normal zoom locked setting: 2_241048_570000000.png With the zoom locked, it will change only if you change it yourself. Some of the make tools do scroll the trackpad view, to ensure that the newly created control template is visible. I have not noticed that being annoying, or had any other reports to that effect. But I will look at that again in the next program update. You can revert a view change and/or set up to 4 fixed "views" to which you can return at any time ...

... use something else. Turn the vee round on the block to make the second cut. The result is as shown after making two cuts on the sander. If necessary the bulk of the metal can be quickly removed with a coarse file or metal shears before finishing on the sander. The end result is an accurately aligned vee comprised of solid rail at the nose. All that then remains is to fettle the running edges at the tip and blunt back the nose to the specified width as shown on the template (0.25mm/10 thou for bullhead in 4mm scale). It's a good idea to take a few thou off the top of the nose so that it dips down slightly below the wing rails. This allows for the coning angle on the wheels as they run off the wing rail onto the nose, producing smoother running. But don't overdo it. N.B. Wear a mask while sanding and wash hands afterwards. The sandings will contain lead from the solder. Stick Elastoplast or tape on the ends of your fingers beforehand to protect them if ...

Use the peg/align tools> menus on the background template to do that. When the position is within a group you will be invited to link the group to the notch. Answer Yes. Then put the notch at the destination position. It can't be within the group. The notch will move and take the ...
... topic: 2906 Templot Track Plan Scaled Down posted: 31 Jul 2016 10:33 from: leswaters Hello I have drawn in O gauge a large eight road shed and yard in Templot. Consequently, if I print it out it will be very large. Is it possible to produce a smaller scaled down drawing for baseboard planning purposes without using the full size version? I hope this is not a dumb question?

... topic: 3105 Large format printing posted: 12 Oct 2017 12:47 from: Nigel Cornish Hi, I am the project manager for a new build '00' layout at the High Wycombe& District Model Railway Society. It is a representation of Oxford station and environs around august 1960. It is some 32ft long and 10 ft wide. The scenic part is around 32ft x 4ft and it is this that I would like to print out, preferably on a continuous sheet of paper. Are there any commercial printers who can take a Templot file and print out the layout to scale? Regards Nigel. posted: 12 Oct 2017 12:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Nigel, Welcome to Templot Club. Yes, you can export your track plan from Templot as a PDF file, which can be printed by many commercial printers as a single roll sheet. The usual width limit is 42".

I'm a bit tired tonight to write a long explanation, so here's a bit of video instead: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=jcsJMl9lLpdNladIu8zX7A2 Sorry it's so scruffy, it's just to show the basics. But it's generally better to create a crossover in the final place it's wanted, rather than move it afterwards. cheers, Martin. posted: 12 Feb 2020 00:39 from: Jason Johnson Thanks very much, so easy when you know how.

... :41 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I find it easier when doing a plan over a map of a prototype trackplan to set the timbering to no timbering, it's just so much of a pain to switch it back on for each and every template when I'm done.

... am certain he has these in stock posted: 26 Apr 2020 14:20 from: Kenilworth59 Hi Martin. While having a good look at the C&L picture to see where the angle of the diamond was written I noticed something which IMHO is wrong. At the right side there are dimensions shown including the 6 foot way which here is measured from the inside faces of the rails. I remember reading a discussion* about the prototype track centres' separation for the 6 foot way that a guy had got wrong as 10' 9"1 /2 because he'd forgotten the two 2" .75 rail thicknesses when measuring from the inner faces. Indeed, I have a C&L EM kit for a B6 turnout and that too measures from the inner face. Am I right that a prodigious company like C&L have it wrong or do I need to get out more? Cheers Paul* I was looking into how much I needed to cut OO Peco turnouts to obtain the prototype track centre distance. Attachment: attach_3010_3642_Track_gauges_imp3 .pdf 75 ...

I know sometime in the last few months I selected an option somewhere that did this, which is what I wanted. However, I can't remember where it was that I made this selection. Reminder someone. P.S. This is not the selection on the Geometry Menu. Please help I want my lines back on background templates. posted: 26 Aug 2016 10:32 from: Martin Wynne Hi Godfrey, Track centre-lines or timber centre-lines? On the screen or on printed templates? On existing background templates or newly stored ones? After reloading a file or while working? Are you using saved program preferences? If so are you using the option to include the generator settings? There are several ways to make centre-lines disappear on background templates: 1. design them without centre-lines in the first place, or with the centre-line moved to ...

Which template should be the control at this point?

956. Dockside shunt plan
... Apr 2020 20:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Welcome to Templot Club. Thanks for posting your plan. The diamonds shouldn't be too much trouble. But you have drawn a 3-throw turnout. Unless you are an experienced track builder, I strongly recommend that you change that to a tandem turnout. For some explanation, see: http://templot.com/companion/3_way_tandem_turnouts.php If you attach your .box file here, we can have a closer look. cheers, Martin. posted: 30 Apr 2020 10:22 from: Andrew Jones Thank you for your help Martin. I have reworked the three way, but has issues making the entry switch into a wye, which I'll try to fix tonight. The tandem single sided turnout looks much nicer anyway, so thank you for that. I'll upload my box file when I next can, be prepared for some awful examples of poor misguided use so far I've been reading up various of your tutorials and particularly enjoy your video examples. Very useful stuff! posted: 1 May ...
... position. With the condensator you could alter the frequencies of you volt, from 30 hz to 1kh, in steps of ~25hz or something so it would only power up the matching frequencie of that coil(condensator) So one power line is needed(two wires, nothing else!), every "set"(points and the switch) will be needing 2 condensators. I will look it up when i have the time, it was really cheap. If bought for 100 turnouts your cost would be not even 10 cents per turnout. Thanks for triggering this memory, i am going to need this very soon, i will post this for sure to help.

... don't think that's what Dave wants to do. I think he wants to increase the distance between the switch heel and the vee so as to make a larger radius i.e. make the switch shorter. posted: 25 Oct 2016 15:59 from: Dave Phillips The suggestions that Martin made worked perfectly and allowed me to increase the distance between the heel and V-crossing and increase the closure radius to match the commercial turnout fixture. I changed to a generic V-crossing and increased the switch length from 9 ft to 10 ft. Interestingly, I had tried changing the switch length before my post, but I only tried shortening it, which didn't work. Thank you Martin for your expert advice, and especially for the F4 hint. My blunder on that issue proves I really am a beginner! Thank you Stephen for trying to help as well. posted: 25 Oct 2016 16:18 from: Stephen Freeman I think you will find that changing the vee crossing to Generic was what did the trick as far as the radius is concerned ...
959. Bending jig designs
... works fine. This is just as much a question about the prototype as it is model. I've seen the video of the press they use for forming the knuckle bend, but given the infinite curves of real World turnouts how could they possibly have limitless formers for the presses? Derek posted: 22 Oct 2020 21:02 from: Julian Roberts Hi Derek I'm wondering whether you're aiming for an unattainable perfection and whether it is the curve of the wing rails that is causing a problem. Here are mine for a 1 in 10 crossing. I bent them around some round nose pliers, that incidentally taper- each is a cone- not that I'm interested in trying to get rail inclination. I think they may be far from ideal but testing with a wagon gives nice sweet running. Surely it's the alignment that matters most for the running, and level? The latter can be crudely fixed after construction with a big file over the whole area. However apologies if I'm actually considerably under-qualified to make this suggestion. Anyway this photo is from ...
