... topic: 1018 Size of print area posted: 18 Jan 2010 14:44 from: Gordon S I'm probably doing something wrong, but I have to move the page/print datum point when I come to print this group. It appears as though the grouped track in the attached box file is sitting outside the print area. Is that possible or is it me? .... Just noticed that using Shift/Control/F10 shows a background print size. I thought it was unlimited, the same as the actual plan. Does this mean large plans have to be printed in sections?

... for the running rail and 1 for the checkrail, but on the inside of the curve, it's the checkrail that will take the force, not the rail. Haven't used the product so can't comment. But I will note that in real life the chairs used to hold the flared ends were sided. I don't know if C&L do this. Regards, Matt M. posted: 24 Nov 2014 23:02 from: Trevor Walling Hello, I would say the chair half used depends whether it is inside or outside the rail you are referring to. Outside will need a half with a key and the inside obviously not. trustytrev. posted: 25 Nov 2014 13:30 from: Nigel Brown In 3mm/ft, where we don't currently have special chairs, what I do is shave the inside of the running rail chair and the outside of the check rail chair until the check rail can sit the required distance from the running rail. With the chairs I use this works well enough. The same method will of course work ...
... another traverser serving the mainline on the right. I would welcome any comments on the feasibility of the design. If there is anything obviously wrong with the plan, constructive criticism would be welcomed. There is still work to be done on shoving timbers but until such time as I'm satisfied with the overall design, that can wait for a later date. Attachment: attach_1271_1730_STAIRCLIFFE_JUNCT ION_v44_7-12-11.box 354 posted: 16 Dec 2011 13:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi David, Thanks for sharing your track plan. Unfortunately your outside single slip is not buildable as it stands -- the slip switches are too close to the V-crossings. There isn't really room for an outside slip at that location. As the crossing angle is 1:7 you should be able to fit an ordinary inside slip there, without the radius being too sharp. Adjacent to that you have curved and straight tracks crossing. If you try using the TDV program, you will be able to convert those tracks to a proper irregular diamond-crossing. More about that ...
... hopefully will clean the tip, which in turn will make it hotter, which will give you better solder joints Thanks- I will try that! posted: 17 Nov 2015 00:33 from: Nigel Brown Jubilee42 wrote: After reading your posts (thanks) and doing a bit more thinking I decided to make a jig to build the crossing in. Good idea. I mainly use something similar. In my case I have a bit of hardwood inside the crossing V shaped to the right angle, and two more bits outside the V to hold the rails in place. The main difference is that the actual bit of the V where the rails join lies off the base itself in thin air. This may help the solder flow between the two bits of rail (the base and bits of wood no longer act as a heat sink), and it means you're not burning up the bits of wood. My method of holding everything down is relatively crude; double sided tape under the bits of wood, and another bit of wood held across ...
... topic: 2791 representing Irish light weight flat-bottomed chairs posted: 23 Nov 2015 19:48 from: madscientist Common throughout the system in Ireland, till recently was the use of light weight flat-bottomed rail for less important sidings and MPDs etc They were fixed to the sleeper by a flat chair and the rail was then secured using two chair screws( one inside and one outside) I include picture for reference: 2_240807_360000000.jpg Note that another similar common chair had a slightly more raised( cast) piece under the chair screw, as these ones look just like a flat plate Is there anything in 4mm that could be used to represent this type of chair or its near equivalent I was thinking of using code 55 for the rail as well thanks Dave attachment.php?id=2176 posted: 23 Nov 2015 21:24 from: wcampbell23 Hi Dave Perhaps not ideal for code 55 rail but Brassmasters does rail baseplates in etched brass intended for Peco codes 75, 80 or 82 rail.

... topic: 2646 The disappearing Template posted: 10 Mar 2015 08:44 from: Andrew Duncan Martin Just a quickie I suspect. I was doing some work on Yeovil plan redoing the track centre spacing having discovered that 70' coaches would foul each other on certain curves. So I found myself generally moving round the non station parts of layout increasing the adjacent spacing to 50.67mm. I chose to delete the outside curves and use -Tools\Make double track- to restore the outside curves a little further away. This worked fine. But as I progressed towards the fiddle yard (staging yard?) I noticed that a curved turnout had disappeared and that no amount of 'undo changes/ back button' would restore it. This used to happen to me a lot in the early days of using Templot but I found that by hitting the button with two orange down arrows on it (save to control) that that overcame that problem but at the same time very often seems to duplicate the template, which is a bit tedious (probably necessary ...
... in the yard? If so why do most goods sheds have a crane on the platform?" But would you need to unload or load both types of wagon at once? It would be a issue of priorities but, again, this is what they were doing for a living. Any crane on the inside of the shed would have to reach both the near track and the awaiting vehicles on the other side. If someone shipped a replacement motor for a tractor I'd be looking for a crane. Wasn't there often an outside yard crane as well? "5. there would be a lot of congestion on the platform if goods can't be loaded into the near wagon until the far wagon is full. Goods arriving by road are unlikely to be delivered in the required sequence during the day." Any picture I've seen of a goods shed in full use is chaotic to look at. But I'm an outsider. As I mentioned before it was common practice to unload in the first shift during the morning and load during the afternoon. A standard ...
... create a double junction off one of the curved ends of the double track. It does not matter what size turnouts or diamonds are required but I am unsure about how the diamond is created. Does it have to be curviform due to the asymmetrical nature of the curves? So far everything I have tried tends to create radii that are smaller than the minimum 8 foot I want to use. Regards Les posted: 9 Aug 2016 12:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Les, Is the double-junction diverging towards the outside of the oval or towards the inside? If the inside, it will not be possible to have an 8ft radius for the inside curve if the oval radius is 8ft. If the outside, any radius should be possible. Perhaps you could post your .box file here or a screenshot or sketch. There is a video showing how to create a diverging double-junction -- click the help> watch a video> Scruff Video curviform double junction menu item. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Aug 2016 17: ...

I don't know about that Martin.It is small on the outside but inside it is amazing how much is there. I am unaware of any other software that manages to fit so much inside.It should win prizes for being so adaptable while being rock solid and reliable as well. You can't judge a book by the cover and that is certainly the case with Templot. You are very modest Martin but I am sure I am not the only person who thinks you are a genius. Regards.

... topic: 2942 Template rail representation on sketchboard posted: 1 Dec 2016 14:00 from: Dave Phillips On the sketchboard, trackpad template rail when zoomed in appears as two thick parallel black lines with a rust-colored fill between them. Is the rail head edge located at the outside edge of the black lines, at the middle of the black lines, or at the boundary between the black line and rust-colored fill? I'm trying to match details of the template with a file imported into the sketchboard. I need to work in the sketchboard because of zoom limitations on the imported file in the trackpad.

... is being developed and supported by others*, taking it in whichever direction they want to go. Templot for trams? Templot on Android tablets? Templot Lite for beginners? A Templot plug-in for AnyRail? It would start from the current version of Templot2, minus the functions which can't be open-sourced such as the PDF export. and 2. a non-open MartinTemplot version which I would continue to tinker with as the mood takes me. There are several things I might want to try -- make outside-slip say, or full chairing detail. An updated DXF export for 3D printing perhaps. But without any obligation to provide a fully developed user interface for such functions or write detailed Help notes. A version of Templot for those who know what they are doing and don't need such assistance. Who don't mind the odd bug if there is a way round it. If it all gets in a muddle they could swap back to the OpenTemplot version (assuming the files are still compatible). But getting from here to ...

96. Track Plan 01
... image of the plan your facing turnouts become trailing, which might be more prototypical. Cheers Nigel posted: 13 Jan 2014 07:55 from: Murryb Thanks for the replies Martin, I was not happy with the crossover as it is so will try what you suggest. Nigel, the trains on the inner line run to the left so the turnouts will be trailing? the original design was the other way around ie the double tracks on the right but was changed to this design so the double tracks could in future go outside, dreams are free. When I have altered things in the next week I will re-submit.The more I play around with templot the more I like it. Murry posted: 13 Jan 2014 11:28 from: Pierre Hello Murry, With regard to your request for comment on your layout plan. Perhaps you should let us know what you are trying to achieve with your layout. It is a little difficult to make comment on a layout design without having some idea of the builders aims; I have no idea ...
... topic: 2319 Robertsbridge new curved turnout posted: 20 Sep 2013 10:38 from: roythebus On the Rother Valley Railway at Robertsbridge they've just completed a new curved turnout which is VERY long; according to the track plan in the station building, it's 146m outside radius and 142m inside radius. The rails are marked as H for the switch rails and a 1 in 20 crossing! When I manage to download the photos from my phone [url=mailto:I'@ll]I'll[/url] post them on here. Quite why they made it so long is beyond me, but I gather the track was designed by London Underground staff. Some of the concrete sleepers in the area are s/h from LUL, so still have the mountings for 3rd and 4th rail! The RVR is still officially a building site at the moment, so please don't go wandering down there to look. There is a grand opening this weekend (21st and 22nd September 2013) with trains running the length of the line to Eastbridge Street ...
... Derek, Not at all, it's interesting. In Delphi and Lazarus a list is a very common construct. There are a great many lists in Templot. Such lists are indexed starting from zero. i.e. the first item in the list is indexed [0 ], the second item is indexed [1 ], etc. Consequently if you have a list containing 10 items, valid index values are in the range 0-9 when accessing the list. If you request a data item from the list using an index outside that range, or try to put data into the list for an item outside that range, you get the message "List index out of bounds". If the list is empty, the current list Count value is 0, but the current index returns the value -1 because there is no current data for index [0]. If you create a list but forget to put any data in it, or delete all the data in it, or most likely delete the last item in the list without noticing ...
... rails are adequately gapped then all should be well. The problem for me is my concern in fixing the Templot drawing to the baseboard with a strong adhesive that does not affect the paper. The idea of using yacht varnish to seal the paper sounds good. But will the plastic track base adhere to the varnished paper. I think I will try a small test section to see if this system will work. I would never attempt to build track outdoors so all of mine will be built indoors on each baseboard before being installed outside.

The main part is essentially an outside slip, straightened out to make the slip road the running line. But then the addition of the other side road makes it a sort of offset scissors crossover. Whatever you call it, it would be great fun to build. Martin. posted: 30 Dec 2012 12:29 from: Paul Boyd Any chance of being able to post the photos here? (with appropriate permissions, of course!)
