... happen if you move all of Templot to the main monitor? Does it still happen if you have only one monitor (maybe after doing a Windows restart after switching other monitors off)? Have you had any problems with other programs using multiple monitors? I know it sounds like a cop-out, but all I can suggest is doing a Windows restart and then downloading a fresh copy of Templot and re-installing it: http://templot.com/companion/installation.php cheers, Martin. posted: 27 Jul 2018 08:37 from: Jim Guthrie Martin Wynne wrote: That address in the code is checking which of your monitors the Templot windows are currently on.

... Delphi? If so surely anyone could download the Embarcadero Community Edition and would have the means to contribute to Templot2 itself. All that would then be needed is to host the Templot2 code on SourceForge, GitHub, etc. and use commits and pulls to get/submit changes, with branches for new features such as the import/export facilities. There would be no need for alternative OS versions, conversions, Lazarus, etc. John Last edited on 14 Sep 2019 07:18 by John Clutterbuck posted: 14 Sep 2019 08:35 from: Martin Wynne John Clutterbuck wrote: Hi Martin, I am certainly not suggesting you stop work on Templot2.

103. Gauges for 0-MF
... using the square section as the finished gauge? Rob Hi Rob, That's how I make a tool from square stock HSS (high-speed steel) to turn the grooves for a track gauge in my lathe. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow. (It's slightly chilly in my workshop at the moment) I was going to make myself a couple of spring loaded gauges that don't care how wide the rail is but I did a body-swerve into 3D printing instead.

... , which often turn up some unexpected content. Here is a modeller in Italy discovering Templot in 2015 and creating some fascinating trackwork on an ambitious layout. As far as I know Nick isn't a member of Templot Club. 2_130109_230000000.jpg This is a topic on an Italian modelling forum, translated into English by Google.

... any text, such as timber numbering or "blunt nose" etc. Could it be arranged so that the platform is always underneath any text? Hatching partially solves this, but even so, the text then becomes chopped up. The other one, which I'm sure is an option somewhere, is to not show the template number on the output, so just "A11" instead of "PL172.A11".

109. Changes in 217a
... more videos using them. Do you see why I have been dragging my feet so much over the docs? Already there are videos and pages made quite recently which are out of date, without looking at stuff which is 15 years old. I have some ideas for the next 217b to automate at least some of the process of creating a tandem turnout. Which would mean that I should be putting off yet again making an up-to-date full tutorial for tandems. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Dec 2017 08:02 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin, If I may be so bold, my preference would be the tutorial for tandems and other matters. Following the new features in 217a and using the video, I was able to construct the tandem in minutes very easily. For example, I hadn't realised until last night, that the "click-drag zoom rectangle", went to maximum zoom if you don't drag a rectangle but just clicked. It was something I picked up from the video. Cheers, Godders. ...
110. Saunderton
... some frustration but with the software sort of clicking with me a few times, my first effort attached. Any feedback gratefully received. In particular, I struggled to join two of the turnouts together with a plain piece of track (just above the diamond). Suspect I may also need to learn how to transition between pieces better. Not sure if it's possible to exactly follow the lines on the 6" maps but I've tried to keep as close as possible.

Hi David, The 6" maps are generally too small to use for model track planning. The smallest maps which can be used tend to be the 25" maps (1 :2500). Saunderton station opened in 1901 which was too late to appear on the NLS georeferenced slippy 25" map of the area. But they do ...

... about it, rather than nothing at all, so I have added this: 2_171750_090000000.png In this case, clicking try again does produce a result, although the V-crossing angles need a slight tweak (F9) to match the curves exactly. This will niggle me until I find it, but for now I'm going to leave it at this cop-out. Hopefully no-one will ever see it. In the next program update, thanks again for reporting it. cheers, Martin. posted: 18 May 2020 08:19 from: Jim Guthrie Martin, Many thanks.

Apple just don't like not to be in total control of what folks use their computers for, do they? Meanwhile on Windows, I'm happily running some old Windows95 software on Wndows10, and Templot includes some old 16-bit controls from Windows 3.1 (on the file viewer), which still work fine on Windows10. There's a message there, surely. Meanwhile, does anyone want to try porting Templot3 to an Apple ARM processor? cheers, Martin. posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:20 from: Nigel Brown Fairly typical Apple.

... , so the suite of gauges made for that rail (3mm Society code 60 BH) will still get used. The head is slightly smaller so the gauges won't fit the FB rail. Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread!

... for this not interlaced? Regards. Yes, the sleepering does appear to be interlaced on this one when you look at it carefully. Re the sleepering centreing etc., when I was planning the track for the Alkham Valley layout for the Folkestone MRC the chap in charge said he wanted all the pointwork sleepers the same distance apart. I told him that would be unprototypical and showed him some pics to prove my point (no pun intended). Variety being the spice of life. posted: 5 Sep 2020 18:08 from: Julian Roberts Och some people! .....I'm 'God' on my layout!

Bear in mind that I'm West of the Severn at all times. Most of it seems to be in a tunnel, so not mapped (dated 1950): 2_062043_050000000.png What model scale are you using?

No, that's the wrong end of High Street Kensington. the West London Line runs further west. If you can find Addison Road/Olympia, I'm looking for the bit south of the road bridge towards the next road bridge which is Cromwell Road/A4. There is a huge curved warehouse to the west of the railway just north of the A4 road. the WLL runs north/south on gentle curves along the n/s axis. ...

For days I've been working on putting the whole of Whitby into Templot and finding it didn't fit. Thanks to this feature I discovered in minutes it was down to lots of small barely perceptible mis-alignments of small groups of templates. Snapped them together and it fitted perfectly.

... as much cinder ballast to build up the groundwork. As Martin says there are many layouts out there that have been fine for many years. I think ply is more stable than plastic sleepers- with the thin plastic sleepers you have to make sure they are well glued down or the solvent used to attach the chairs can cause the sleepers to warp. The cheapish wood moisture meters are useful for checking on timber moisture content generally, not that I am suggesting you use one on the sleepers. Rob posted: 2 May 2018 08:40 from: Michael Henfrey Thanks Rob, Yeah the ply is cut with the grain. It's a loft layout and so it is quite dry up there so they will only get moisture when I add water/pva mix for ballasting. I'm using exactoscale chairs at the moment and they are really brittle, breaking no end, might switch to c&l ones as they don't look much different, when painted I don't think anyone would be able to tell posted: 2 May 2018 12:07 from: Rob ...

120. Lack of Trap Points?
... Dave, I think you can safely assume that there would be a facing points lock there. It would be shown on the diagram on the ground frame which is released by the key. This is the diagram for the signal box at the station only. The usual reason for providing a separate ground frame is that it is more than the 350 yards length limit for the rodding run from a signal box. It's odd that the actual position of the ground frame isn't shown. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2014 08:47 from: Phil O I don't think that a FPL would be required as the key will be attached to the token and thus any passenger train will not be using the turnout in a reversed condition. The clue is, there is no advanced starter beyond the turnout. I await being shot down in flames. Phil posted: 4 Dec 2014 10:38 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, It is a single-track line, so passenger trains running east to west will see it as facing points. ...
