... chestnut within Templot. It took me a while to master the original sequence of the early versions, but was well worth the effort. Your proposed changes do seem to make sense to me. Drag and drop is very much the way many use computers now, although I must admit that I tend not to that much, but that is my age showing. One gets into old habits. Hopefully if you give people enough options, they will find one that works for them.

984. Skewing platforms
... concourse across the end of the platforms, the way to do that is to add a platform to a dummy centre-line-only plain track template. Set the front edge spacing... to say -100 inches (minus), so that the centre-line is hidden below the platform on the output. Using that trick you can create odd-shaped chunks of platform to fill in any spaces, and move them around using the usual template mouse actions. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Nov 2016 10:26 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have managed to get it to skew by shortening the length of the platform and then skewing it roughly to where it needed to be and then returning it to the full length of the template, I was then able to tweak it.

So far I've drawn a facing crossover and for the trailing crossover incorporated a single slip. But I'm concerned that the single slip with switched K will be difficult to build. So I'd like some suggestions how to get rid of the single slip. Ideally the minimum radius is 48". Hi Richard, I don't see the problem? Switched K-crossings make a slip 10 times easier to build (no K-crossing check rails), especially in a fiddle yard where you don't have to match any prototype appearance. You just need to fork out for 2 extra point motors. Unless I'm missing something, your design looks fine? I have quickly added the double slip roads for you. I staggered the slip switches to make it easier to create an opening clearance for them. Outside slip switches are 1:40. Inside slip switches are 1:32. Group .box file attached. ...

... although it may be the method used by some CAD programs. You can tell if the trackplan is one of the above, because as you increase the zoom in the PDF reader, the trackplan remains crisp on the screen and doesn't go fuzzy. It will be large and bold but with sharp edges. If it doesn't go fuzzy, see A below. If it does go fuzzy, it means the trackplan has been embedded in the PDF file as: 3. a bitmap image. This is the most usual way for JPG photos, PNG screenshots, etc., to be included in a PDF file. If it does go fuzzy, see B below. Most paid-for PDF programs can export the contents as image(s).

... topic: 2780 NER interlaced turnouts posted: 9 Nov 2015 14:44 from: DerekStuart A little while back someone was asking about NER interlaced turnouts and noted that there aren't many pictures of them and the only NERA diagram is a 1:10. The following are from Battersby (Junction!) on the Esk Valley Line. None of these photos are mine so I just link the URL. As far as I am aware these lasted until at least 1989, possibly longer. Not bad for turnouts that would have been built 70 years earlier. Although it is possible that these are replacements for earlier turnouts and it was found less paperwork to replace like for like rather than get a newer design authorised. http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/80s/840512dp.htm Battersby run around loop at the Picton End; about to be traversed by a blue Brush 4.

999. 3mm Scale selection
... topic: 1071 3mm Scale selection posted: 10 Mar 2010 18:14 from: Nigel Brown Hi Martin A minor issue, but I wonder if a couple of 3mm scale settings could be added to the front-line scale choices. I believe that quite a lot of those using FM (3mm finescale 14.125mm gauge) like me use Templot, as I believe do some TT-I (3mm intermediate standards 12mm gauge) users. For those like me who quite often try Templot out on something just to see how it might work out, it saves having to dig down an extra layer the set things up.
