... put a return curve from the platform 1/2 entry turnout to Platform1 road it shows a square with a cross through it. Again, what are they and what are they trying to tell me? I use a mouse with a scoll wheel. For those that don't know, in windows Ctrl+ scroll will incease and decrease the zoom. This will help in seeing the markers I am taling about. In 9.1c the scroll wheel performs a zoom function. I like that!

What are they and what are they trying to tell me? Greg, These are the peg marks for each template on your background. If you delete/copy/wipe any template to the control you will note that the mark becomes red and this mark- the peg- is that mark around which a lot of the Templot operations work on the template- e.g. on ...
... 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?

... join with solvent, I have found a light bit of pressure for a few seconds is all that is needed, or if fitting a half chair light pressure with a probe, holding the chair in to the joint rather than pushing it into it. I would guess it was either the type of dye/paint you used and or too little solvent that gave the problems. Remember though that with plastic and ply the joints can be broken by sliding a scalpel between the two or a sharp knock posted: 23 Jun 2016 07:37 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Can't help wondering if the "dye" had some sort of polish in it. I've used water based fence paint without problem, both before and after glueing the chairs down. These days I use a bowpen to administer the MEK, which is much cheaper on Ebay.

... topic: 2926 Restoring timbering for groups posted: 15 Sep 2016 07:41 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I find it easier when doing a plan over a map of a prototype trackplan to set the timbering to no timbering, it's just so much of a pain to switch it back on for each and every template when I'm done. Is it possible for either a Group or Global option to restore it? posted: 15 Sep 2016 09:42 from: richard_t You could turn off the timber outlines in the generator menu and then rebuild all background.

... topic: 2952 picture shapes- upcoming changes posted: 18 Dec 2016 04:07 from: Martin Wynne Over the years I have lost count of how many times I have tried to re-jig the dialogs for importing background images into picture shapes -- sketches, maps and track plans. But still the picture shapes seem to cause confusion for some users. So for the next program update I have had yet another go. There are some changes in functionality. In addition to the previous methods: 1. picture shapes can be created directly by dragging and dropping an image file onto the trackpad. 2. Templot can obtain the image for a picture shape directly from a scanner without needing a file name. 3. Generally I have changed the sequence so that the image is specified first, and the picture shape size and position is set up second. This is back to front as far as the code is concerned, but seems to be the way human brains prefer to work. So here are some of the new dialogs. Really ...

... been updated but I had no way of confirming it. When I updated via the download from the Templot site, as you suggested, it still did a couple of scans but then confirmed that the program was safe. 214a went through with no problem at all which made the 214b situation more surprising. If I get any problems such as this in future I will try to get screen shots which may help investigation. Happy now to have my beloved Templot working as it should!

... , Finescale Brass, J&M. I shall build a turnout to your initial suggestions and report back! Hi Richard, OK. You know what you are doing. When the fireworks begin with G1MRA, I shall watch from afar with interest! IMPORTANT: Your new standard needs a unique name. This is important so that it can be referred to without confusion. Also so that I can include it in Templot. I suggest 1-MC (modified coarse). regards, Martin. posted: 8 May 2017 07:59 from: Terry Flynn Richard Lambert wrote: Hi, Many moons ago, I rocked the established O gauge boat and started building to and promoting 31.5mm trackwork- matching the track to the de facto wheel standards. I now find myself in exactly the same position in G1. The crossing noses on the 'standard' standard track take an almighty battering, especially considering the weight and speed of the locos in particular. I wonder whether there is scope to tighten up the trackwork through the turnouts in particular, and wish ...

... 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.

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 ...

... topic: 1192 Can't get transition to straight/from straight to work during one of track plan tutorial posted: posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:07 from: grog_polymer Ho all, I am doing the "Track Plan Tutorial" in 0.91c. Some of the shortcut keys don't seem to work as described but I expect that to be a version specific thing. Indeed shortcuts are only shortcuts if you can remember them. It does take a while looking for where things are in menus etc though. This specific issue: I had added the works siding by adding a branch track from the loop to works siding. I have tried to make a transition to straight to make the end of the works siding straight. No matter which end I put the peg the straight always ends up at the turnout. The notch is there and I suspect that is why. I have tried adding the transition and doing end for end etc but nothing makes it right. Picture attached.1920_100452_420000000.png There are a couple of other things that I am not clear on. I ...
... topic: 3794 short rails, joints and timbering, rolling rails posted: 5 Oct 2020 07:35 from: Graham Long I have just made a new start for a track plan. Before I go too far I want to make sure I am using the programme efficiently. I have made a custom "rail and track" (44'6" with 18 sleepers per length) I have only got as far as making a loco release road road crossover and adjacent siding. Here is how a went about it. I have called the Templates 1 to 5 for the sake of this query. a) Got a plain track template, curved this to 1400 mm and made it 1 panel length. (Template 1) b) Produced a turnout template (Old GWR and 14' V angle 1:8) I curved this to MS of 5280. (Template 2) c) Then formed a crossover. (Templot 3) d) I then formed a double track to TS of Templot 2. (Templot 4) e) I ...

... fact that it is moving along a curve isn't at all obvious. The best way to understand these 4 functions is to experiment with them. Try starting with an S-curve transition template and using each of them in turn. Here's a bit of video. Watch what happens to the peg and the radial centre marks in each case.
