981. Printing problem
... topic: 1997 Printing problem posted: 27 Jun 2012 15:40 from: Paulr1949 Hi all This is probably just a "problem" of my own making (or not finding!), but I can't seem to print background shapes. I have a plan for the forthcoming club layout which is under construction, and the background templates show the individual board edges, which it would be very useful to have on my printouts. I am currently printing a few in A3 for test purposes, but I believe we have found access to a printer capable of printing A1 width on a roll. Paul posted: 27 Jun 2012 16:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Which Windows? If it's Windows 95/ 98/ ME, the reason is that the lines in the background shapes are too long. You can get them to print by breaking them into several shorter lines in a row. Otherwise, try output> output drawing options> element options> and make sure background shapes is ticked. Also, check that the colour for ...
... to avoid the "Train-set" look; quite tricky on a fairly narrow board. The line on the Right hand side that extends past the 2880 marker is the sole exit to the fiddle yard (2880 being the length of my scenic boards). This is my first attempt at a layout plan using Templot. I'm not entirely sure how I got here and no doubt there are many errors that the experts will be able to point out, but it's along the right lines (excuse the pun). A few things I have questions about.. 1. I seem to have an over-laid CCE siding; easy enough to delete, but why did I get two? 2. The lower two of the three sidings have been formed of two sections to get the curve I wanted; is this the right way to do it? 3. I have put a slight curve on the upper turnout of the crossover to eliminate the parallel road for the run-round loop which I've then made a transition curve. Is this ...

... topic: 2029 Brain failure posted: 24 Jul 2012 11:02 from: Phil O I appear to be suffering brain failure this morning. I have added platforms to the track plan and opened up sketchboard and added a few items there, but for the life of me I can't remember how to change the fill colour of them in either sketchboard or trackpad. Can anyone remind me please? 38_240559_360000000.png 38_240601_070000000.png Cheers Phil posted: 24 Jul 2012 12:44 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, For the sketchboard, exported files and printed templates: output> output drawing options> platform edge colour... output> output drawing options> platform infill colour... output> output drawing options> platform infill style> menu items.

... and it's great. Ah- got the quoted text to work by manually typing in code as you suggested. Firefox is getting bloated and sluggish (I do clear the cache regularly) and also too often pops up with a message to the effect that it's already running, resulting in a visit to Task Manager to kill a rogue process. This seems to be a known issue- known to users, that is, not to Mozilla. BUT!!!! Chrome isn't a bed of roses either. I've found a few websites where the layout is messed up or things don't work. I've also needed 3rd party extensions to do basic things that Firefox just does. I'm still undecided... What we need is some kind of standard so that all websites could be written using this standard and display the same on all browsers.

... email address has reported to Hotmail an email from Templot Club as spam. On the say-so of one user, Hotmail has now blocked all emails from Templot Club to other members also using Hotmail, and not only that blocked all emails from the same shared hosting server. That's several dozen of Jim's other customers who have no connection with Templot Club. Jim will now have to jump through several hoops to get Hotmail to unblock his server. I know that no-one in their right mind uses Hotmail, but a few do, and I may have to ban Hotmail addresses from Templot Club. Some other free email providers are equally keen to block servers for the flimsiest reason. If you think an email from Templot Club is spam, please notify me( webmaster@templot.com) and not your provider.

... that it IS a cause of duplicates since that would seem to be an inevitable consequence of doing [insert] before a "Make..." And of course, "Make..." gets used an awful lot! It is interesting to read through this thread and read all the various experiences- what we are talking about is pretty much the real basics of how to use Templot, yet it is clear that even experienced users have issues with it- albeit that it is an area which has undergone a few changes recently... Having read all the discussion about potential changes, I am not convinced any are needed- especially any graphical gadgets- but we might well be back to the issues of how to help new users get into good habits- after all, to the extent I have an issues, it arose from from the time when I was a "beginner" Best Wishes, Howard. posted: 4 Aug 2012 20:08 from: Martin Wynne JFS wrote: I suspect that my over use of Store ...

... a rail Thanks in advance John posted: 10 Aug 2012 10:17 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, To avoid rails running through overlaid V-crossings, you need to take the rails out into separate partial templates. You can then shorten the rails or create a gap in them as needed. The partial templates are then all superimposed as separate background templates to create the final construction template. There is some Jing video in this topic, showing how to do that: topic 706- message 3967 The video is a few years old, but shows the basic idea. It is a nice challenge to work out which rails should go in which partial template, ideally to keep the number of partial templates to a minimum. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Aug 2012 10:27 from: Hayfield Martin Thanks you very much, I could not find that video and I think its clearer than the 3 way tutorial. will give it a go later. posted: 10 Aug 2012 18:08 from: Martin Wynne posted by email Hello ...

... as FB and use the REA semi-curved geometry but with FB track. Thanks Tony- I look forward to seeing what you can do with my doodlings! posted: 23 Sep 2012 23:45 from: Tony W Hi James. Well I have finally got something worth posting. I have gone back to basics I am afraid and have redone most of it. I was hoping to get further than this before replying, but thought I would let you see how far I have got before I go away for a few days. The Tandems (first stage) are achieved by taking a length of plain track and inserting a turnout into it (ctrl+ I), adjust to the required switch and angle then store as background template. When the control template reappears simply Roam turnout along length (ctrl+ F9) to position it and adjust the switch and angle to suit. If the opposite hand is required, then use Invert handing (ctrl+ X). As Martin has pointed out, the nearest I can get with the ...
990. Center Re-Rails

Mark C Last edited on 18 Sep 2012 23:28 by Mark C posted: 2 Oct 2012 22:00 from: DM GuardRailREPW77.jpg Detail from old BR standard drawing showing the layout of rails at the start of a set of guard rails. Current from the 1950's to date. On bi directional lines there should be a set of collecting rails on both ends of the guard rails. The guard rails should extend about 60' off the bridge to be protected at both ends, but often don't. Up until a few years ago all the sleepers under the guard and collecting rails would have been timber. But in the last couple of years steel sleepers have become available for the guard rails, and concrete bearers for both guard and collecting rails.

... topic: 2062 Bloxwich, Cannock chase line posted: 25 Sep 2012 18:51 from: davelong Hi all. As I'm turning my attentions back to UK prototypes, I've found a great location to model. It's Bloxwich Crossing, in the West Midlands close to Walsall, on the Cannock chase line. My time period is somewhere around 86-89. However I thought I'd post a few images that are quite interesting track wise. There was a wonderful mixture of Flatbottom rail and BH rail at this location. It seems as though during the period that renewals were taking place, but due to the line being freight only until 1988, renewals seemed to have been quite selective. Funnily the Up main which for the most part was FB rail on a mixture of concrete and wooden sleepers still has semaphore signals, and the Down main for the majority is BH rail and has modern colour aspect signaling. The interesting bits are, the tandem that forms the loop and entry in to both sidings. The tandem is linked to the main via a ...
993. Print Rail Foot?
... man's clear as mud. The problem was that you didn't set up the required flat-bottom prototype settings for the background templates before you created them. Which is the normal way of doing anything in Templot. I could have said that you would have to delete each one in turn back to the control template, modify it to flat-bottom, and then store it again as a fresh background template. Would that have been more intuitive? If you had 200 templates to do that way, it would take you a few hours. The modify on rebuild group functions are provided to make such after-thought global changes easier. I think they would be reasonably intuitive to someone well-experienced in Templot. What could I do to make them more so for less experienced users? Comments welcome. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Aug 2012 05:04 from: Mark C Martin, Templot is a very, very powerful but also a very complex program, much like Photoshop. That doesn't make it a bad program, just requires a ...
... : 19 May 2012 23:53 from: wally I have just picked this up and have not looked at any photos but the common thread running through the ex G W stock at Canmore is that then checks are secured by a CENTRAL bolt passing through a spacer block therefore the rail extends an equal number of timbers and CC's each side of the bolt. I will try to find pictures but this may not be untill later in the week. Wally posted: 20 May 2012 11:11 from: wally Having had a few moments this morning here are a couple of photos to add to the confusion. This installation is in the middle of a lot of plain track relaid 1949/1950 and will probably reflect the later thinking. 2374_200548_520000000.jpg This shows a pair of checks which only span 4 timbers and have a central locating bolt (only visible on the far rail and just out of shot on the near). 2374_200553_050000000.jpg Here we have a pair which spans 5 timbers with an offset retaining bolt and block and shows better the end on scarfing of ...
995. PC Memory
... getting 16 Gb of RAM when 8 Gb is standard in the system I am thinking of getting, please? I do not go in for gaming, but I may want to edit video in the future. I do use my present PC for editing photos and there are the new versions of Templot I have not yet tried. Hi John, First let me say, personally I consider it is always better to have more memory available, in general this does to some degree speed things up a little. However, a few words of caution. From your comment about a standard of 8 Gb, I can assume you are contemplating a 64 bit operating system machine. If on the other hand you were getting a 32 bit PC, then you are limited to 4 Gb max, as this is the maximum addressable memory size you can have for a 32 bit machine. Next, considering the 64 bit machine, the addressable memory is, one might say, almost infinite, therefore you can have 8 Gb, 16 Gb, 24 Gb, ...

998. Official O14 gauge
... standards suggested by the apparently defunct Narrow Gauge Study Group of the Scalefour Society, who used to publish a magazine now and then. It was actually headed by the late Lynden Emery, although he handed the reigns over to Paul Holmes (Borth-y -Gest) some years ago when he felt no longer able to continue. For 2ft gauge, the gauge used is 7.83mm to represent 1ft 11 in. Track and wheel standards are based on those of the 2mm Scale Association, and below are the standards used by the few of us that model in FSNG (FineScale Narrow Gauge). If you bumble through my website you'll see some narrow gauge modelling there. Although the .83mm bit might be familiar, 18.83mm minus 11mm doesn't work- it's far too coarse for this application. The chairs and rail shown in the photo below are from the 3mm Society, so membership of several societies becomes useful!

The things that look like odd shsped check rail in both roads in the middle distance -- what are they? What is the thing adjacent to the left hand switch rail in the foreground? Hi Allan, Like yourself, I haven't got a clue what those objects really are for. My first thoughts on the matter are, that this particular scissors is used by slightly faster trains (only taking about a few 10s of miles an hour though) that need to change roads without slowing down too much and there is added safety measures there. Just observe what looks like, extra crash barriers at both sides of the track at that point, and I believe, that thing in the foreground you mention is another protection barrier. Other than that thought, perhaps others will enlighten us both. All the best, Brian Nicholls. 17 Feb 2012 15:38 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote: I've built a 3-way ...
... posted my original proposal in the wrong section but never-the-less received some very good advice. This has led me to the current design and I would again appreciate your comments. The basic station layout is similar to Bath Green Park. Trains from the branch and main lines terminate in the arrival platform. A carriage siding is located in the station and another carriage siding is between the up/down running lines. Goods and parcels trains are taken to the Goods/shunt line. The loco shed is located a few miles up the branch. This branch line already exists with all the facilities installed. There are 3 storage sidings fed by the up and down main. This is my first attempt in 00-SF and I wish to start construction when the gauges arrive and the plan is finalised. Control is by DCC.
