... printer for you to play around with and hopefully find out what is causing these issues. Gordon that is very kind of you, but I can't let you do that. You previously made a very generous contribution to the donations fund, and you don't owe me anything. Even if I had the printer I'm far from confident that I would be able to do anything about it, and it would be wasted. But thank you for the offer. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Jan 2016 20:28 from: Andrew Barrowman I haven't really been keeping up with all the exciting details, but what happens if you export the template rather than print it?

... Heel turnouts with joggles. Now the part that has got me worried. On the attached Box file I am concerned that my turnouts won't have the clearance that should be 4.5'' (1.5mm) at the heel and stock rail. I measured it at 0.58mm, Am I doing this correctly? have I got it under gauge? what am I doing wrong and how to fix it? or am I just overracting to a novice mistake in calling an error when there isn't one Thank you for any help that is offered Andrew Attachment: attach_1570_2168_GWR_BLT_March_193 4.box 228 posted: 27 Feb 2013 12:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Welcome to Templot Club. The heel offset is measured from gauge-face to gauge-face, it's not the gap between the rails. You seem to have it correct at 1.5mm. I notice that you have changed the pre-set 10ft GWR switch from a timbered switch front to sleepered switch front as a custom switch. It's great to see the full range of Templot adjustments being used. regards, Martin ...

Are there any videos or tutorials on how to make an outside slip? I have searched the forum but with little success. I tried moving my switches outside the crossover, but they kept snapping back to their original positions. I'm a bit lost. Regards, Graham posted: 1 Feb 2014 11:34 from: Andrew Fendick Hi Graham, I hit the same problem with it snapping to the original position but found the menu item 'action F7 snap options snap on background templates'. It will have a tick mark beside it to show it is enabled. Click on the menu item to disable the snap. Regards, Andrew posted: 1 Feb 2014 12:17 from: Graham Idle Thanks, I didn't know about that. But, unfortunately, I am still no closer to creating my outside slip. Regards,Graham posted: 1 ...

I am using Templot Dev 2.05.b. OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-60 processor. Gauge is set to EM 18.2mm.

Only plain track has been announced initially. However, if there is a positive reaction to its release then Peco may consider releasing pointwork in the future.

... -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 22:54 from: Martin Wynne Andrew Barrowman wrote: But the pointy bit is sharper on the bottom one Hi Andy, In this context, "sharp" means the opposite of gentle, as in a "a sharp curve", not sharp as in a knife edge.

I've tried clicking on the file in Box file and that doesn't work either. This computer is an i7 processor running 64 bit about 3ghz/ windows 7 Professional. I had it installed previously on a 32 bit Windows 7 Pro machine without problem. Can you advise? Kind regards Andrew Duncan posted: 21 Feb 2014 19:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, How new? This may sound a bit obvious but have you tried double-clicking?

When working with a turnout template as the control and selecting the menu item Action> mouse actions: control/ geometry> adjust plain track length F4, the F3 (approach length) action is triggered. I can recreate by just starting Templot and using the default turnout control template that is set when you do not reload any previous work. The 'adjust overal turnout length F4' menu item and the 'adjust approach length F3' menu item both work as expected. posted: 14 Mar 2012 00:18 from: Martin Wynne Andrew Fendick wrote: When working with a turnout template as the control and selecting the menu item Action> mouse actions: control/ geometry> adjust plain track length F4, the F3 (approach length) action is triggered.

It also comes with an offline scan function which runs without starting Windows. That is the only way to detect the most serious malicious code.

There is a new section showing how to use partial templates to get a more accurate match to the underlying transition, and I have added a few more notes.

... There were articles about how it would mean the death of railway modelling with everyone furiously building their own computers instead of making models. So Peco/RM saw anything which encouraged such hobby interest as a threat to their business. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Sep 2020 00:43 from: Nigel Brown Peco also wouldn't accept digital photographs for a long time, because they feared that the pic could be tweaked to make the model look better than it was.

... so yes, definitely all BH in the 1960s. My first trip was in the late 1990s, so that's roughly the period I'm modelling. I was going to model early 70s, but realised 20+ years later that "my" nostalgia period is the turn of this century! I do have loads of photos of BH track though! Dduallt still had BH on my visits and I took loads of detail photos of the track and point rodding etc. Cheers, Paul posted: 3 Aug 2020 03:45 from: Andrew Barrowman Some US practice here; topic 3438 posted: 3 Aug 2020 08:22 from: Matt M. Hi Paul, Andrew's photo is great as it shows some of the standard features of a lap joint chocked Vee crossing. Of course the details do change according to geography, company and time period. Of interest to note are the two visible rivets that help clamp the webs together. Also note the the straight cut through the check rail's foot on the gauge side. I attach some drawings of 1956 NSWGR 80 ...
... topic: 3639 Gauge Face only in DXF posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:23 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Martin, Is there a way to only include the gauge face of the rails in a DXF? I know the generator lets you suppress the outer edges but I don't know how to do that in a DXF. I thought I had found a way to do it in the past but I'm probably imagining it The reason I would like to be able to do this is to make it a bit simpler to snap my chair models to the intersection of the rail gauge face and the timber center-line. Of course I can always delete the rail outer edge in CAD. Cheers!

I'm getting into a bit of a pickle because they seem to revert to values I don't want Hi Andy, There are two approaches to this. 1. the default settings for adjacent track centres are part of the gauge/scale settings. You can create a custom setting with your required settings: 2_170823_430000000.png There are 4 custom slots located at the bottom of the list, so you can have 4 different settings in them if needed. 2. the track centre spacings are template-specific. So an easy way to retain some settings for future use is to store a template ...
... of modelling light railway track. I have been asked to make a small amount using a light rail section in 7mm standard gauge. I was thinking of using code 100 BH rail as that comes out very close to 60lb/yard full size BH. The option of copper clad sleepers is fine for the sections that will be ballasted over the sleepers with lots of weeds but some needs to have chairs. Can you get these in 7mm scale for code 100 rail? Rob posted: 8 Feb 2018 00:22 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Rob, I believe it was not unusual to use flat-bottom rail spiked to the sleepers for standard gauge light railways in the UK. Code 100 FB might be about right. Google Colonel Stephens Railways Photographs for examples. Cheers, Andy posted: 8 Feb 2018 01:02 from: Rob Manchester Hi Andy, Yes, just had a look through 'Britains Light Railways' a nice survey of many light rail lines in the UK and you are quite correct that many have FB rail either spiked to the ...
