141. Bending jig designs
... Jam jar came out right for a 1:8 bend. However, if the turnout is curved then getting this bend in accurately becomes harder. Yes it can be manually checked against a Templot printout, but I find adjustments tend to end up leaving lots of irregular bends rather than one clear and gentle curve. I have a week off next week. I shall think up some ideas and try them- I've nothing to lose but my fingers and thumbs- oh, and pride. Thanks Derek posted: 22 Oct 2020 07:53 from: Hayfield Don't forget the method of using the Vee filing jigs to form the bend,form the benb by eye slightly narrower, place the rail in the jig and tap with a hammer. Perhaps something similar could be formed? posted: 22 Oct 2020 09:58 from: DerekStuart Hello John I was thinking of a way whereby anyone- whether really experienced or a complete beginner- could be guaranteed to get the same results. Using the filing jigs doesn't produce a nice and gentle bend. Some ...
142. hello
... did have all of Waverley West end on Templot until my computer went wrong. I am re-doing it, based on the early 1970s track relaying. Previously I had it in bullhead pattern, which was wrong. There is- or was- someone doing Queen's St. too on here. posted: 4 Nov 2020 22:39 from: Ian McKee Derek, Thanks for the information and your advice. I would be very keen to see your Waverley west plan when you have that. posted: 5 Nov 2020 07:24 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Ian, Welcome aboard from a former resident of your part of the World, and good luck with your project. I grew up in Paisley just beside the Canal Line and I remember the four terminus stations in Glasgow quite well although my recollections are probably slightly suspect now Cheers!

143. A3+ printer
... layout surface and build in situ. There are pros and cons of both approaches of course. I did recently get an HP Designjet A1 printer but it was big( to use and store ), slow and proved to only want to work on random odd days so I sold it for spare parts. Nice idea but unless you can rely on a printer working when you want it to there isn't much point- a newer model would have worked more predictably but they aren't cheap.

The physical 'mouth' of the printer is only marginally over 13" and the driver only allows custom paper lengths upto 23". I haven't tested the actual printed width you can get out of it.

146. Dud(ley) Plot?
... 09 from: Trevor Walling Hello, Ariels Girdl I would not want the track plan to be an end in itself- just a means to an end. I am just curious to know what advantage there would be to me of getting the whole timbering thing absolutely perfect in Templot. Getting the timbers perfect matters only if you are hand building track or parts of a formation. You could omit timbers altogether if you wished. Trevor.

147. Help for Someone new
... 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 ...
... . In practice, experience has shown that 0.25mm may be a little too generous, and a clearance of 0.15mm may be regarded as the minimum permissible." At this early stage of my renewed study, it appears that P4 makes use of some concessions as I have been pondering for 1:48 scale on 22.2mm gauge track- but that Scale7 is essentially a direct scale reduction from the prototype (?)

... topic: 2516 Variation of chairs on a crossover posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:49 from: Hayfield On my recent trip to Bodmin Central I decided to try and get some close ups of some of the switch and crossing chairs. Looking at the platform resell crossover there seemed to be a mixture of different chairs (2& 3 bolt).

Templot doesn't hold your hand (or control your life) in the way that Microsoft products tend to but it does reward patience, which some people seem incapable of.

... topic: 2761 New mouse actions -- adjust adjacent track centres posted: 19 Oct 2015 21:07 from: Martin Wynne Most of the recent changes in Templot have been to assist beginners. So I thought it was time to do something for established users who know what they are doing. I have added new mouse actions to adjust the adjacent track centres settings, instead of entering the dimensions directly. This makes use of the geometry> centre-line options> functions in order to see what you are doing, which means these need to be reset afterwards. The new mouse actions will be useful in two situations: 1. where you have some existing double track at an unknown spacing, and wish to create some connecting double track into which you can insert a crossover, say. 2. when using the dummy vehicle tool to determine the required spacing for running clearance at different radii. I have made a quick bit of scruffy video illustrating that: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=r6BdZWxz5kk5ye1ek-P -Ag2 ( ...
