... that the diamonds may be a problem, thanks for the tip I shall have another closer look at them. A quick question then, so it's advisable to keep the size of the half diamonds the same but the curving radii on each half can be different without too many problems is that correct? re the BH points, yes I was a few in to the design before spotting the error, I may well go back and correct these. I had originally thought that after selecting FB rail that might have been an automatic ... ://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/files/Proof%20Housed%20Junc/ posted: 5 Dec 2007 10:39 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Thanks for posting your plans. You've made some rapid progress there! I noticed that in a few places you have made diamond-crossings where the crossing angle differs between the two half-diamonds. That will produce a dog-leg in the diagonal road through the K-crossings. Getting diamonds to run nicely is always tricky in 00, so it's ...

... release version. But I'm more and more convinced that only a minority of users do in fact read the docs. A good few don't even read the order confirmation letter which I send them. Very soon I must sort out this mess, 9 years is far too long between release versions. At present however I am fully stretched working on the next pug version, which itself is approaching 3 years since 091c was released. I will answer your question about loops shortly. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Oct 2010 23 ... topic: 1276 New to Templot and need help posted: 21 Oct 2010 23:23 from: Mike Huxley Hi all, I'm new to using the system and can't work out how to do a few things, so Please give me a few pointers. First one.... How do you create a simple loop in a curved track without crossing points? Second one.... How do you make a simple siding off the running line without using "return curve", as this doesn't seem to ...

... somewhere else if ever the need arose. I will try to keep it updated. It's scruffy and intended only as a backup to the web site -- I haven't tried to create a neat publication. I set the page length as long as possible to avoid too many breaks in reading, which means there is a lot of blank space in the first few pages. The entries on the contents list should be clickable to go to the relevant pages, and most of the links within it should work, depending on the ... your PDF reader program is in.

... LH turnout, I proceeded to make the RH turnout without properly saving it in the Storage Box. That it why I can't go back to it, maybe. Hold off on making the video. I feel that I'm close to cracking it. If explanations are too long, I find my eyes glazing over. It's like trying to drink from a fire hydrant. What I've done over the time, is to delete everything and repeat it over and over until I progress. I already have paper copies of the turnouts; ... how the program looks to someone seeing it for the first time. The GO button starts Templot running. The first thing it does is connect to the Templot web server to check that you are running the latest version of the program. The connection lasts only a few seconds and is nothing to do with saving templates. I put the note above the button so that if you see activity on your internet connection you are not alarmed. When you get further into using Templot you will discover that you can save your program preferences ...

... trap/catch has only one blade then: DO OMIT RAILS AND JOINT MARKS (CTRL O) Turnout road crossing rail- untick box (assuming this is the rail that you don't want, which is most common). I am using C&L components too and I thoroughly recommend them. Though I am using plywood rather than plastic, so opted not to use flexi for the plain track. I can't comment on your other questions as I wouldn't like to give you incorrect information, but it looks good to me ... implemented as catch points, or as full turnouts, or sometimes more complex arrangements such as a double slip, sand drags, etc. I have been making some dialog changes in the make transition function, and I'm hoping to upload a program update in the next few days.

... as though the key difference is not in the file format itself but in the handling of the files- i.e. memory-based versus disk-based. Is that the case? or does the rendering itself take significantly different amounts of time/processor/memory too? Whether to remove the PNG option is one of many questions which an active OT/MEC group might want to consider. I tend to adopt the IIABDFI approach (if it ain't broke don't fix it). Yes indeed!

... I wanted something that would be portable and yet capable of doing what I wanted. Being a mac person I thought about getting a Macbook, and running parallels so I could run Templot. But looking at the size and weight I thought that this was a bit too heavy and besides I have a 12" PB. So thoughts turned further a field. As I didnt want anything with Vista on due to PC tech support friends having varying views from mild acceptance to severe disdain I started to look far and wide. Finally ... what it is..

... from: Jamie92208 the attached box is my design for a new O gauge exhibition layout to replace my current one based on Long Preston near Settle. It will be built with overhead for the early Midland Electrics thought the overhead will not be working as it would be too much trouble to wire p the fiddle yard. This is my first attempt at a templot design and any comments would be appreciated. I'm not sure how to uplad the background shapes that show the base board outlines as well as the track plan.

... do the 'Holyhead end first and then the 'Chester' end second. There's no problem in losing the section you identify- it is where the dock branch joins the fiddle yard and we will re-position this to lead into the new fiddle yard. We're not too worried about the need for high speed turnouts- in our experience, as long as we keep within the 1200 minimum radius constraint, then trains will happily run at way over maximum line speed. The Holyhead-Euston express, long-term resident on road ... ). There are some limitations on the design of the new storage roads:-- we cannot extend the straight sections of the layout since the straight scenic part is an accurate re-creation of the prototype.- the layout has exhibition commitments for the new few years (when the extension is planned to be built) and has to be kept 'on the circuit' whilst the majority of the new construction takes place. At this stage we think a new fiddle yard of similar dimensions to the existing one- but built ...
