... topic: 3118 Download and install Templot 2.15d posted: 31 Oct 2017 17:19 from: Brian_G Has anyone else found a problem with updating to version 2.15d on Windows 10? I've not been on Templot for a while, (last update was 2.14b I think) so when today I got the automatic invitation to update to the latest, 2.15d, I ran the updater leaving all directories unchanged as usual only to find that it crashes every time with the following error screen: 2_011812_330000000.png Worse still, when clicking on Abort and it then says 'rolling back' this does not work and leaves me with a non-functioning program and the error message: 2_011812_530000000.png I have tried a complete un-install and download but that does not help either. posted: 31 Oct 2017 17:57 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, The problem is caused by some anti-virus programs. Switch it off while installing Templot. See previous topics about this. p.s. You don't need an anti-virus program on Windows10. It comes with its own ...
... I want. I shall have to print it out and try it in place to confirm. I will report back. Regards Richard posted: 26 Jul 2009 20:58 from: Richard Lambert Hi Alan I've now tried it in place, and It's a huge turnout! It looks far too, well, spread out in the yard. I had in my mind something far more cramped. If the inner radius is tightened to say 5' (and whatever seems best for the other 2 radii- 7'6'' and 10'?) and the whole thing made as short as possible, what would it look like then? I don't know if that will even make sense, but at the moment, I would be better off with 2 normal turnouts than the 3 way. It does look magnificent though. Thanks. Regards Richard posted: 27 Jul 2009 09:21 from: Alan McMillan Hi Richard What about these two alternatives? Please let me know and I'll complete the template you want and fill in all the details.

123. Slips
... topic: 1406 Slips posted: 6 Mar 2011 10:39 from: sm I'm trying to draw a single slip, I have even printed off the instructions from the "how to" site and have followed the instructions to the letter, although I have no clue what tcp or mcp means (training centre point/main centre point ?) My god could you make this any harder ?, two hours later and I still have no single slip. I have the diamond crossing and I've parked the switch heel template but then trying to get the thing to peg where I want it is a complete mystery. Why can't Templot just use a simple drag and drop user interface like any other windows based program?. If any one can offer some advice in simple English I'd be grateful posted: 6 Mar 2011 11:36 from: Martin Wynne sm wrote: I have no clue what TCP or MCP means Hi Stuart, See the "gentle geometry" page in the Templot Companion at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm ...
... topic: 541 Results of my first attempt posted: 10 Sep 2008 15:41 from: John Clutterbuck I am slowly getting to grips with Templot. I like the underlying concepts but I feel the user interface is a bit arcane and would benefit from some of the more recent windows technology such as panels for the content (templates, shapes, ruler etc.) and properties. I feel this would be more intuitive for novice users and might allow the command set to be rationalised. However, I also know from long personal experience of GIS/CAD development that such a rework of a software product involves a huge investment of effort during which the core functionality rarely moves forward and may even get broken. Therefore I fully understand if Martin ignores such suggestions. If you ever do consider it I'd be happy to provide my thoughts offline. Anyway I have attached a template containing my first attempts at two turnouts for 7mm scale 2' narrow gauge (O -14). The first turnout is based on a drawing of a Robert Hudson 6 ...
125. glueing track
... topic: 1747 glueing track posted: 22 Dec 2011 21:15 from: Ed Callaghan For glueing down track& ballast, Norman Solomon recommends Febond PVA because it dries flexible, unlike wood glue, and therefore won't crack. Other writers recommend Copydex for exactly the same reason. My limited experience suggests that Copydex is probably more flexible than any brand of PVA, albeit more expensive. I'd welcome views from those in the know. posted: 23 Dec 2011 10:10 from: John Shelley Ed Callaghan wrote: For glueing down track& ballast, Norman Solomon recommends Febond PVA because it dries flexible, unlike wood glue, and therefore won't crack.

... topic: 3770 Movable K-crossings/ switch-diamond for a 1:10 double slip? posted: 15 Sep 2020 15:31 from: William Williamson When putting together a layout I've found a need for a 1:10 double slip. Thinking to myself, this'll be great- I ploughed forward. It was only when I printed the template out however, I noticed it didn't have any k-crossing wing rails. I rebuilt the slip outside of the layout and the same issue occured. Switching the size down to a 1:6 made them reappear: http://i.imgur.com/Vaiwxg7.png It looks like this is because Templot switches from fixed to movable K-crossings above 1:8- which i guess is fine, but I've no idea how that might work. I can see I can set them to be fixed here: topic 2408- but how are they intended to work? Another set of tie bars? Is there a material concern with the lack of a switched diamond in a 1:10 double ...
... over 7 sleepers going off prototype. Is this strictly correct? cheers Lee posted: 29 May 2007 08:20 from: Martin Wynne Hi Lee,> the check rails have printed and are 5 sleepers long.> Now a fellow modeller has built some more trackwork> for this layout and reckons that they should be over> 7 sleepers going off prototype. The length of check rails depends on the V-crossing angle. For most UK flat-bottom track, check rail lengths are: angles up to 1:10 --- 13ft check rails spanning 5 timbers angles over 1:10 up to 1:12 --- 15ft-6in check rails spanning 6 timbers angles over 1:12 --- 18ft check rails spanning 7 timbers Templot makes these changes for you. Try using the F5 mouse action to adjust the crossing angle and watch the check rails change length. Note that for most standard-gauge FB track the flare angle on the wing and check rail ends is machined rather than bent. This makes a noticeable ...

Jerry You could try "Old Maps" Link: http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html If you enter your selected location, you will be taken to an area overview page; you can then select from available maps in various scales and at various dates, including 1:10,000. Using the map viewer, it is possible to zoom in for detailed examination. Later maps have a grid which should allow you to scale major dimensions. There are books around; eg Railway Signalling and Track Plans by Bob Essary which contain tables showing loading guages and dimensions between running lines and obstruction etc. I am part way along a similar journey to you; having discovered that my selected location needs a larger room than I have, must either compress, or select a different location, abandoning much hard ...

Last edited on 3 Jan 2012 17:16 by wcampbell23 posted: 3 Jan 2012 17:36 from: RedgateModels Nice photo Bill, I'd already planned saomething similar for the buffer stop. The main reason for the double slip was to fit it all in, but to be honest I hadn't tried two points, I'll have a play tomorrow- will make the construction easier! posted: 3 Jan 2012 18:10 from: Glen Suckling If your equipment can run over a #4 turnout why not make a #4 double slip? that should save some space which can be added to the engine release and will look better. Whatever you do, aestetically the turnout and the slip should have the same angle otherwise you will end up with an ugly reverse curve which is probably harder on the running quality of the track than a small radius turnout. posted: 3 Jan 2012 19:13 from: RedgateModels I tried a #4 ...

I first built OO standard trackwork, but the gaps (for the wheelsets then available) looked so bad that I went to P4. Admittedly I was recreating a particular place, and wanted all the timbers in the right place...... it just wasn't possible with the compromises in OO. alan@york posted: 2 Mar 2014 10:44 from: Martin Wynne Hi Murry, The file which you posted was for GOG-F gauge so I assume you mean the various options for 7mm scale standard gauge? which are: GOG-F -- 32mm gauge, 1.75mm flangeways. Traditional 0 gauge, but no longer recommended because the currently available wheels are not wide enough to run properly over the V-crossings (frogs). 0-MF -- 31.5mm gauge, 1.5mm flangeways. This has now become the preferred standard for use with all ...

... topic: 2958 Error closing Templot on Windows 10 posted: 27 Dec 2016 17:14 from: philchudley Hi All Just got a new pc running windows 10. Templot runs just fine and is installed in c:\Templot_Dev Upon exiting I get an error message: Cannot create file C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\boxmru.txt Templot will not close, just repeats this error.

The problem is that C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\boxmru.txt has become read-only. Try simply deleting it (it's the "recent files" list). If it won't delete, right-click on it in the folder, click Properties, and untick the Read-only box. Click OK. Same for bgsmru.txt if it exists. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Dec ...
... topic: 124 00-SF history and information posted: 10 Aug 2007 05:25 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, There has been a rather acrimonious discussion about 00-SF on the RMweb forum today in which my name has been mentioned. I thought I would write a few notes about the background to 00-SF. Please feel free to copy this to RMweb or the 00-SF group if you wish. I myself have manufactured hundreds of 00-SF turnouts and sold them to very satisfied customers. They weren't actually called "00-SF" at the time, I just called them "00 extra fine". Some were on plain copper-clad timbering. Some were on my milled copper-laminate timbers with raised chairing effect. They all worked just fine as advertised. What follows is my best recollection of events more than 30 years ago. After all this time I confess my memory is much less than perfect, so if anyone reading this knows different, please do say. I could probably find out ...

You can generally get windows 10 licences for much less than the cost of crossover. If you don't activate windows 10 it will still work fine, but you won't be able to do things like change the background of the desktop or connect to more than just the security updates. On windows 10 home edition you cannot disable windows update entirely, it will keep downloading and installing them regardless. If you have the pro edition you have some more options, but it will still reboot itself to install updates. posted: 8 Dec 2020 14:51 from ...

The Templot email group, forerunner of Templot Club, was founded on 1st September 2000. The group still contains a full archive of all 15,936 messages posted between then and now: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/messages/ In that time we have also gained 870 members.

... topic: 894 Help diagnosing real world clamp lock turnout posted: 10 Jul 2009 13:09 from: m davies I've been on a little field trip for photos of modern trackwork, the objective is for prototype information for fine 7mm modeling and an attempt to come to grips with turn out naming and the real world. Attached a reduced image of the turnout (B1312) at Ipswich, I'm confused about what look like blocks between the rails (circled green) above the slide blocks (circled white), are these rubber ?, the blocks circled red are clearly substantial ironworks, I do have the COP document GK/RC0774 open here but haven't or don't seem to have found that page yet. Using Templot and sleeper spacings I've kind of guessed its a C or D 13, the crossing is definately 1:13 as stamped, its the length or full designation I'm after.

... topic: 3609 Turnout side or main side posted: 10 Feb 2020 17:51 from: ikcdab I get confused by these terms! It is obvious when the template is a turnout, but when the template is a plain piece of track, how do i know which is which?I ask because when i have a plain piece of track and i wish to double it, i never know whether to select TS or MS. At the moment i just guess and normally i get the opposite one. I did think it might be related to the peg position, but i have tried moving the peg to the other end of the plain track and TS is still the same side.... posted: 10 Feb 2020 18:39 from: Jim Guthrie On plain track there is a line across one end of the template just a bit longer than the sleepers. On one end of this line is a square box. That indicates the "M" side of the template. Martin will probably be along soon with full chapter ...
