... true situation developing. Some relief may be possible in the short term by more closely monitoring exactly how much bandwidth each customer is using, but to keep everything in-house and expand his business further it will be necessary for Jim to install a much higher capacity internet link. The snag is that this is a significant additional investment, so not something to rush into at short notice. Whatever happens, it may be next month before anything can be done, so we shall have to carry on as we are for a few weeks. These problems apply only to Templot Club forums, the main Templot web site at http://www.templot.com should be working normally. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Oct 2011 22:36 from: Martin Wynne Good news.

964. Large layout
... Martin Wynne wrote: Also as a separate subject I am in the process of buying a 44" inkjet printer and hope to offer printing of layout plans once I have a grasp of the software. Please keep us updated on this, I'm sure many members will be interested to take advantage of such a service. If there are any changes in Templot which would make the process easier, please let me know. Martin, Our local Staples Office Supply Store has a 44" inkjet printer which I use on occasions. VERY FEW occasions because of the cost! I just print to PDF_Create like I would to any other printer, first telling PDF_Create that it cannot change the scale of the drawing (it likes to make things fit the paper) and specifying the paper size (most recently 36" x 96") and resolution (300 dpi seems to work well). This gives me a .pdf file, sometimes a huge .pdf file, which I copy onto a flash drive and carry to the store. They plug the flash drive into a ...
... topic: 1611 Connecting parallel tracks in a curve posted: 30 Aug 2011 09:49 from: radiopaque Hi all, I have a few parallel tracks in a curve, and I would like to connect them to the switches at the start and end of the curve. The first track looks good, but how to make sure there is no gap or angle between two track halves for tracks 2 and 3? I added a screenshot and the box file.

... : 5 Sep 2011 17:48 from: Martin Wynne Just to add Mark, that of course the easiest way to get a new plain track template is simply to click on one you already have and then press C on the keyboard -- or copy to the control on its menu.

... topic: 1627 New User posted: 12 Sep 2011 19:11 from: mixtemp I have had Templot for some time now but only really started using it in the last few days so I really am a novice and have lots to learn. Has anyone any hints on the best way to start a tandem turnout. I'm hampered a little by not being able to open the video tutorials because of a problem with my computer, which has only made itself apparent when I tried to view said tutorials. My thanks to Martin who has been very kind and in the short term he will be uploading a flash video for me to study. Thanks in anticipation Mick S posted: 12 Sep 2011 19:36 from: Dave Summers With respect, I would suggest that tandem turnouts come later in the learning process. Start simple and work up to it.

... my single templates, without the expense of buying an A3 printer. Similarly is there anything I might need to "fiddle" in the Templot print settings? Any ideas (or different solutions?) best wishes Richard posted: 14 Sep 2011 06:49 from: Dave Summers Nothing needs to be fooled or fiddled. 'Tiling' of templates is taken care of automatically by Templot. A long template will be printed on two or more A4 sheets which will butt up perfectly to each other once the small margin is removed. Few of us have an A3 printer but all of us can print out our masterpieces on our A4 machines! posted: 14 Sep 2011 15:07 from: Brian Nicholls Richard_Jones wrote: Does anyone know if I can "fool" the printer to print out on a piece of "double length" A4- ie a piece of A3 cut down the centre of its long dimension, as this would probably be big enough for the largest of my single templates, without the expense of buying an A3 printer.

969. Templot Fault
... got a message saying List index out of bounds (- 1) and my track has disappeared even if I click the ok button it still stays open. The only way to close it is to close Templot. I wish I could display a picture of it so you could see what I mean. Hi Len, Thanks for the report. "List index out of bounds (- 1 )" while shoving timbers is a long-standing bug which I have been trying to nail for 10 years. There are a few topics here which refer to it. Fortunately it occurs very rarely. Do you think you can remember exactly what you were doing at the time and the sequence of clicks you made? Because simply following your description I have been unable to reproduce it. How many timbers had previously been shoved? Had you added or removed any bonus timbers? Had you omitted or restored any timbers? Did you start from a mint turnout or by copying one from the background? By the way, is this in TDV or 091c? ...
970. TDV feedback
... other features, I have lots of feedback from everything I poked into, I just wrote feedback on the first things that came to mind for me as a new user since these things are what I spend alot of time with. As I progress into more technical trackwork I might be able to provide feedback on that as well. I did try out the scetchboard and so far it has worked fine for what I want to do, which is drawing simple shapes to present buildings etc. So except bugging out on me a few times it has worked fine. But it has also increased the amount of files that need to be loaded and settings that need to be set each time I start Templot. As for PDF exports I tried that as well, only problem is it turned out to be a 20 MB file. It looked good but I have not looked into it much, the initial thing I noticed was that there seemed to be no way for me to turn off the sleeper centerlines (wanted to do it to reduce filesize and clutter ...
... topic: 1814 GWR Maidenhead Goods Yard- Comments Please posted: 29 Jan 2012 19:48 from: Jerry It has taken me several false starts to set this out over a scanned OS 1:2500 map of the station and goods yard. A box file is attached and I am hoping for comments. You can see it is not complete; at this GW station few trains stopped on the main line tracks, but the relief was fairly busy with trains to and from Paddington, (24 miles) and Reading (~ 12 miles), both passenger and goods, many of which stopped. The goods yard had its own shunting loco stabled at Reading, which was kept busy and will hopefully provide some challenges in operation. I have not paid any attention to sleepering yet. It looks right but I am sure there must be better ways in many areas.

... topic: 1818 Help required with narrow gauge track posted: 7 Feb 2012 18:20 from: Hayfield Back in 2008 after a holiday next to the Festiniog railway I hankered after building a small narrow gauge layout, Based on UK stock and not using small sleepered crazy track. In 0-16.5 After a few trials, I want to use 0 gauge wooden sleepers, using either code 75 BH or 82 FB rail or like the Festiniog a mixture of both, using 00 plastic chairs. Finescale 00 wheels so it could be either 00 or 00-SF gauge I do have a copy of WHR/ Festinog turnout (see thread topic 578) but its just too large for a small layout. The questions are 1 What would be a reasonable size turnout so its not too big but on the other hand does not look like a crazy track turnout. 2 What would be a good sleeper spacing when I set up my own spec in the scale/gauge section and any other usefull advice when inputting data in this section.

... make simple crossover. You don't normally need to consider it. For accurate prototypical results you need to change to CLM unit angles after each change to the V-crossing angle (do> convert RAM to CLM). More information about that: message 2081 Also of course, your track gauge needs to be an exact scale setting. At 1:220 scale that means 6.52mm for standard-gauge track (P -220 in Templot). I hope this has answered your questions, but I expect you will have a few more. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Oct 2012 12:09 from: bambuko Thank you very much Martin, That's plenty enough to be getting on with.

Keith, A few further points arising from your message. 1. You seem to be using the PDF printer on the Mac, and creating a custom form? There is no need to do that because Templot has its own PDF engine which can easily create PDF files to any page size, including large sizes for full-size layout printing on roll paper: 2_210936_450000000.png Clicking that menu item 1 displays this dialog: 2_210936_470000002.png on which you can easily set up your 1680 x 1188 mm page sizes in the boxes shown. 2.

... diamond crossovers can now be designed to fit into this overall design rather than having created them first. Is this a viable route to a good overall result? In answer to your 'which Templot' query, I used the version before Templot 2 (the development version I think) for much of the scenic section and then continued with Templot 2. I'll try again to attach the 'box'. Regards Dave Hi, I've had a look (good excuse to play with the irregular diamond features, actually). There are a few problems with the plan as it stands, basically stemming from track centres and alignments. I've attached a boxfile- still needs timbers sorting out out and slips finishing off and there are one or two areas that I haven't looked at.

976. Printer problems
... topic: 1964 Printer problems posted: 21 May 2012 14:23 from: Brian_G Hi, I'm a new user of Templot and have been getting to grips with the layout commands over the last few weeks without any apparent problems, but now that I have tried to print something out for the first time I have hit a snag: my printer consistently hangs up just before ejecting the first page. This leaves the print job in the spooler queue, which will not clear with the usual 'cancel' command, only by running an NT command script in administrator mode to kill the spooler queue. I work in '0' gauge so I appreciate that the number of pages will be large, but I have tried even a basic single default turnout template, covering just two A4 pages, with exactly the same problem. My PC is running XP with Office 2010. The printer is an Epson DX4200 inkjet (incidentally for which it says there are no calibration files). Any ideas what to try next, change settings, etc., would be ...
977. Olympic Torch Relay
... . Eventually my dad reappeared and we went home. I guess I did feel a bit like a Greek runner rather than the circus that occurs today. A went to the Olympic Games and caught up with the Torch in Sydney. I attended a reception, presided over by the Premier of New South Wales who awaited the arrival of the runner. A muscular youth came puffing through the crowd carrying a rather smoky torch. He handed this to the Premier who took it in his left hand and commenced his prepared speech. A few moments later the correct torch appeared. The Premier was holding a jam tin, nailrd to a piece dowel that still had wet paint on it. The flame was a smouldering, kerosene soaked rag. A flunky took the false torch away and the Premier recommenced his speech. The crowd loved it.

... same transition curve- all that remains is to sort out the connecting track (the recorded plain track template is still in the box), crossings and timbering as per Martins' video... which I'm just about to start. I'm convinced the above is extremely clunky and doesn't use the tool to its best advantage, but, so far, it's worked for me Wish me luck. Best rgds, Dave P posted: 17 Jun 2012 12:30 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Happy Fathers Day. A few points: You don't necessarily need to move templates to avoid selecting the wrong one. If you hold down the SHIFT key, or put the CAPS LOCK on, the template name labels will highlight as you move over them and you can select the template you want by clicking on the label. This works even when several templates overlap, because Templot puts the name labels in random positions for this reason. There is no need to keep copying stored background templates back to the control, if the transition alignment remains the same ...
