... on the plain track part of the template appeared to be 2 x sleeper width or 6.16( I should have zoomed and measured). Peco is only 4.04/3.13 or about 1.3 sleeper widths. In putting this together it took me a while to figure out which template I had started with as I was playing around finding out how they differed. I have used the 1::40 model only template as a base. Can I set the sleeper spacing for plain track? Regards, Greg posted: 5 Aug 2010 10:29 from: Martin Wynne Hi Greg, For plain track see: message 3703 For flexible track without prototypical rail lengths, see the program notes for CWR (long-welded rail). Set a dummy rail length equal to one sleeper spacing and set a single sleeper per "length" half-way along it. Templot expects the data in full-size inches. It will convert the model sizes in mm for you if you prefix the mm dimensions with a letter S (for "scale size") ...

... up....Landscape/Portrait reversed? posted: 9 Mar 2010 16:34 from: Gordon S I've been meaning to mention this Martin, but never got round to it. When you go into Print/Printer setup and select either Portrait or Landscape, they are the reverse of the normal convention in the Print Map. Selecting Landscape prints out Portrait and vice versa. Not the end of the world. Couldn't find anything in search, so maybe it's not been raised before. posted: 9 Mar 2010 18:10 from: Paul Boyd Not the end of the world. Couldn't find anything in search, so maybe it's not been raised before. Oh, it has, many times, sometimes getting quite heated! Personally, I think in the Templot context that the terms Landscape and Portrait are misleading because of people's expectations of what that means, but Martin can't change the printer drivers! It has more meaning if you consider banner printing... From the Help page: The end-run option is the normal setting and corresponds ...
1024. Curved Diamond
... : Dellboy Martin How did you determine the 48.67mm spacing between the tracks? Derek posted: 7 Mar 2010 15:16 from: Martin Wynne Dellboy wrote: How did you determine the 48.67mm spacing between the tracks? Hi Derek, It's the equivalent of 7ft way, i.e.1ft increase on the minimum 6ft way to allow for vehicle overhang on the curves. Just a guess, but it's usually enough. I haven't forgotten your video showing how to check such curves for adequate clearance. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Mar 2010 10:39 from: allanferguson Martin Wynne wrote: The diamond-crossing is an irregular diamond, meaning that the radii in the two roads differ. This means that all the crossing angles also differ. Irregular diamonds are not (yet) supported in Templot. Instead, you would need to create it using partial templates.

... common thread was an inability to understand the meaning of "Delete"and "Wipe" in the retrieval of templates. Delete has a finality about it in normal computer use! I tried using the analogy of a large filing cabinet as a store and demonstrate what each term means when retrieving a template. Again you could see the eyes lit up. I am a very big fan of Templot and will promote it to anybody who is interested. My current project has 92 templates. Most of the time I only use about 10% of the capability at my disposal. A couple of people told me that they used Templot and I expect a number of happy users did not make themselves known. This was only a small show so I wonder how many people there are out there that "Cannot get into it" or have not understood the "Delete" and "Wipe" terminology? I would suggest even ONE is too many being denied the pleasures of TEMPLOT. Have you considered a reappraisal of these two areas? Roger S posted: 17 ...

1027. Track formations
... topic: 921 Track formations posted: 10 Aug 2009 23:17 from: Len Cattley Hi all, since starting track building it's amazing what you notice looking at photo's on track work about the length and placement of wing rails, position of fishplates etc. For instance take a look at this picture of the track formation I am building. There is a check rail at the first crossing which appears to be 8 sleepers long,& a fish plate behind another check rail for the other crossing, also all the rail in the crossing& mainline appears to be flat bottomed. Is this common in this time period? Regards Len Cattley 140_101806_230000000.jpg Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... topic: 933 Suggestion when posting .box files posted: 12 Sep 2009 10:35 from: JFS Hello all, For me, one of the best things about this forum is the sharing of .box files- in addition to the good debate which often ensues, it is often a great way of learning by seeing how others do things. But I wonder if a could make a proposal? Why not, when posting a .box, include an image of the layout- perhaps in the form of a "dump" of a Templot screen. This would be very helpful in seeing if the layout is one which is of particular/ general/ no interest. I mention this as I have just had a minor disaster- having unconsciously adopted a *Templot way of working*- ie, resoring my last closing poition at startup then just quitting, thus exploiting the "automatic restore function". Unfortunately, I thus allowed the current project to drift away from the last saved version. No Problem of course, until I opened Templot by double ...
1029. Scissors
... is the adjacent track spacings on the scissors. I assume that's deliberate? Right then- now put the whole lot on a curve Cheers Thanks, Paul. I take the point on the checkrails- I was quite pleased with myself for stumbling on how to extend them at all. Pleased you agree on the timbering- I just couldn't see how it would work otherwise. The two lower tracks in the box file are running lines, so are at 6' spacing, while the top line is a siding so is at 10' from the running line. I based this heavily on the description that John Preston wrote a few weeks ago (Thanks, John), but the increased spacing of the tracks did mean I had to improvise the scissors crossing a bit. A curve? hmm.... maybe. Bill Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... from: Stephen Freeman Hi, The attached boxfile (0.91c) should help. It might need a bit of amendment but should provide a basis to build from. Please bear in mind that if you want the geometry to match Peco, then something else is needed but then that goes for the C&L ones too. There are some sample boxfiles lurking here around for Peco which Martin has done, which would provide a basis to start from if that is necessary.

Minimum radius is 814mm (32"). The right-hand check rail on the middle V-crossing will need some careful positioning. Here's a quick screenshot (00-BF): 00_tandem_quick.png There is more about using the C&L templates at: http ...
1031. My First Effort
... The double slip's tiebars are interfering with each other which will make operation impossible. Also both the double slip and the single slips are much too close to each other. Perhaps you would be better off eliminating the carriage siding and thus the scissors crossover and double slip? I have made a start here, but be warned, I haven't ensured perfect alignment of the replacement turnouts! If you really must have a carriage siding, how about a tandem turnout?

Hi Jim, Well not a hostile breakaway. I think a few members felt RMweb has got too big, and it's too difficult to find the good stuff among the recipes for ginger cake and suggestions for the next Hornby catalogue cover picture. So they have created a sort of RMweb Lite version, with emphasis on the finescale end of the hobby. In practice I suspect most stuff will ...
1034. Joining templates
... topic: 959 Joining templates posted: 21 Oct 2009 10:15 from: Gordon S I know it is possible to use the Tools/Split command to separate a turnout from plain track, but is there a "join" command where you can join together several small plain track templates into a single template? Occasionally I have wanted to insert a turnout into a small template and whilst it is feasible, it brings its own difficulties when using Snake through peg and alignment of the toe end of the turnout into the adjacent template.
