... topic: 133 Prototype: Track, easements, check rails and operations posted: 17 Aug 2007 10:27 from: Roger Henry An Australian report on a goods train derailment makes for interesting reading. The report discusses the effect of curves leading into turnouts. Turnout 'standards'. Causes of derailments due to train- and wheel- dynamics and 'operations'. All relevant to anyone building track and operating model trains. The report features some excellent photos, diagrams and drawings.

1147. Templot Launch Failure
... 91b results in launch failure. Now what? Hi Dave, Thanks for your very detailed report. At present I'm stumped, because you said up until a few days ago 091b was working fine. Something on your system must have changed. Are you able to do a Windows System Restore to an earlier date? (Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore) What happens if you revert to version 091a? http://www.templot.com/tug/templot_pug_091a_setup.exe regards, Martin. posted: 19 Aug 2007 10:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, p.s. Something else to try -- after installing 091b, delete the file TemplotZero.exe.manifest from the Templot program folder. This will cause Templot to revert to the Windows Classic style of buttons and menus, but no functionality will be lost. Does this cure the problem? (This is an XML file and in the last few days MS have issued a security update to XML Core Services. But after applying the update all is working fine here. This file is included with ...
... topic: 141 Add a .box file reference when printing posted: 25 Aug 2007 10:52 from: Peter Salathiel Hi Martin, I admit I am not a methodical worker but I just can't figure out the best way to keep my Templot .box files. My problem is that I "name" a printout, so that I know where it came from, but then forget to change it on the next printing. The only way that I can keep track of things is to move my "project name" AFTER the Templot time stamp. In other words all my Templot .box files are now identifed, and arranged in order chronoogically. A couple of questions: 1) What is the recommended method of keeping track of printouts and their associated .box files. I think I know the answer but it is all to easy to click "print" and finish up with the wrong name. 2) Any chance of making the default printout name the time stamp of the file? I admit that this problem occurs because I am using Templot ( ...

1150. SATA drives 150/300
... topic: 154 SATA drives 150/300 posted: 10 Sep 2007 21:04 from: Templot User -- --- from Nigel Brown -- --- Hi all Apologies for this simple but very O/T question. Are SATA 150 and 300 fully compatible? I have a motherboard with a SATA 150 controller which drives a now failing SATA 150 disc. Current SATA discs all seem to be SATA 300. So can I just plug in a SATA 300 disc?

As our instructor explained, "Trap points trap you in, catch points catch you out" (the catch points bit being a reference to single line working). It could also be argued that catch points are, be definition, un-controlled (i.e. spring loaded with no levers, requiring clipping for wrong-road working), whereas trap points will always be controlled by some means.

... topic: 245 Inserting a turnout/parallel tracks/what is a notch? posted: 23 Nov 2007 01:10 from: Gordon S A few very simple questions that have come to mind over the past 48 hours. Managed to insert a turnout without problem, but it always comes up with a B7 turnout. How do I select a different form of turnout to insert? I have selected different turnouts no problem, but when I try and insert it, the programme defaults back to a B7. Setting up parallel tracks, again no problem, but when selecting either the MS or TS variant, invariably it puts the new track on the wrong side. How do you determine which side you need? There appears no logic to it and I get it wrong more than 50% of the time.. Can you please explain what a notch is and what it does? I seem to have one on my plan and try as I may, I can't get rid of it and don't really understand what it does. Tried most ...

Usually you would want to follow that up with some timber shoving to tidy things up. Here's a short video showing how to create a curved crossover with the tracks at 25ft centres (100mm in 4mm scale): new video: widely-spaced crossover 3 minutes, 2.5MB (feasible for slow dial-up -- about 10 minutes download).
