I am thinking about using the jig design with the same fittings but building it in such a way that the rail will sit flat across the edge of the brass strips. I will probably use steel though as I have a lot of it around from various welding jobs. posted: 11 Jan 2019 12:04 from: Hayfield My bought filing jigs are from hardened steel, where ...

Best Wishes, H posted: 24 Jun 2011 20:40 from: Rob Manchester Howard, It is a good job the wheels have nice big flanges! Toy train makers used to fit their stock with wheels like these...oops, silly me, they still do. It would be interesting if anybody could post a comparison vid taken on P4 or Scaleseven to show the difference. Rob posted: 24 Jun 2011 21:07 from: Peter_Hirons I was a bit concerned with the amount of end-float of the axles in the bearings. Didn't think pin-points were meant to do that posted: 25 Jun 2011 10:15 from: JFS I was actually surprised- it rides a lot better than I expected. I think it is a great way to see how good/ bad your ...

Odd when the crossing angles appear to be quite similar or even identical. Fraser posted: 15 Oct 2017 09:14 from: FraserSmith Hi ...

... grips with it but the rewards are great when you do...and it's not THAT difficult really! Getting into the depths of MS Word is, for my money, MUCH harder. Mr Shillito's remark of" ...after faffing about I give up [and] I really cannot be bothered" tells you everything you need to know about how much he actually wanted to succeed. Keep up the good work Martin...you are greatly appreciated despite these occasional voices of dissent. Regards Alan McMillan posted: 24 Jun 2012 16:07 from: Martin Wynne I'm not too concerned that Andrew doesn't like Templot2 or the web site. You can't hope to please everyone and I'm only too aware of the many deficiencies myself. What really annoyed me is that he posted his message BY EMAIL. I've asked time and again for folks not to do that, and there is a note to that effect in every single message from Templot Club. I was sorely tempted to simply delete it, but then of course there would be a complaint that I'm censoring critical messages ...

... like that I discovered 0-MF. I think its about time to start with a blank and redo it! Does the make double track option within the software, when used on straight track, adhere to the 6ft rule? I'm conscious that there are semaphore signals to go in between adjacent lines in places and want to make sure the clearances are there for those, but again, I'm not sure how to do that, or the measurements that should be worked to?

... Also have noticed the Sketchboard Control panel remains in any active window when Templot TDV has been backgrounded, including whilst I am writing this message in Word. I can't reproduce that here. What exactly do you mean by "backgrounded"? The best way to hide Templot is to press the PAUSE key on the keyboard -- that minimizes the entire application to the taskbar instead of just one of the windows. (That key is top right on the keyboard.) regards, Martin. posted: 10 Jul 2011 17:07 from: Martin Wynne I've been doing a bit more work on the user interface for the sketchboard, and it's now getting closer to being finished (except for the help notes of course). I thought I would just add a reminder that you can create colourful shapes and outlines for control panels and similar, in addition to the track plans and Brian's photo-realistic bitmap images: 2_101150_400000000.png Since the last TDV update I have added some additional controls for freehand lines and polygons, as you can see. These should be ...

... see that you have adopted the GOG-F standard. Are you aware than many (most?) handbuilders of 0 gauge track now prefer the 0-MF standard? This gives much better running with modern Slater's-pattern wheels. There has been much discussion about this on other forums such as RMweb. I believe the Gauge 0 Guild will be adopting 0-MF in the next edition of their standards. 0-MF is 31.5mm gauge with 1.5mm flangeways. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Sep 2017 10:07 from: Andrew Howlett Many thanks Tony, Much appreciated, Andrew. Tony W wrote: Hi Andrew. Since no one else appears to have taken up your challenge, I thought I would have a go. Well done so far. The Tandem needed several changes to it to make it work, the main one being that the two turnouts were set at differing radii so would not line up. The curvature of the inner road was very tight. I have managed to ease this slightly. The next stage was to ...

... track of. I have enough to do with Templot without getting into extreme web design. For example, in the FlashbackConnect videos, why does the Android browser not support the interactive pauses? Whereas Google Chrome on the same device does? They are essentially the same browser. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Sep 2017 19:46 from: Phil O I can see most of it on my tablet and by panning across I can see the rest.

I had the two left hand columns and a sliver of the rest of the screen, the bit with the signal, that I could scroll left and right and up and down behind the two columns. When leaving it ...

... crack on with tracklaying etc. I originally posted on RmWeb re this and was directed here by Martin Wynne, who has correctly stated that the difference in construction of FB turnouts compared to BH turnouts, is quite different. I apologise in advance for being semi computer illiterate and need instruction at a very base level- don't worry, I won't be offended if you have to word it for dummmies!!3095_050425_020000000.jpg I've attached this shot as it shows the trackwork and turnout types. cheers Andy posted: 5 Dec 2015 14:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andy, Welcome to Templot Club. Your picture shows a cast crossing and Pandrol fixings, so if that is 1988 it represents recent renewals at that time and is almost certainly 1432mm gauge vertical switches and crossings. Which is a much heavier design than bullhead track and noticeably different. How are you intending to model it? Colin Craig supplies some 4mm/ft components for such track, and also detailed templates showing the baseplates and fixings: http://colincraig4mm.co.uk/#/s -c ...
