... . These are all fiddle yard boards. The scenic ones will be done differently. To generate a cutting list for each curved board, I print out each board scaled to fit one sheet of A4 paper as centre lines only. The lengths of the various members are worked out from the template lengths displayed in the information panel (when selected as control) or press the F4 key to display it. One just has to remember to allow for the thickness of the material in the right places. I write the full length outside the line and the required length inside whether different or not. The angles for the blocks on the curved boards are calculated by selecting the particular template centre line and moving the Peg to one end or the other of other as appropriate, note the peg angle. (Displayed toward the bottom of the list) Then select the one it joins up to and do the same. The angle of the join will be the difference between the two. You may occasionally have to add or subtract either 90 or 180 degrees to ...
... need quite a lot of re-drawing though. You also have some B-5.28 turnouts, which is a very strange size indeed! if you want something longer than 9ft-5, allowing for some gentle curving if needed, I suggest a 9ft-6 or 12ft-6 size would be more in keeping. You can convert any turnout to an inside slip at tools> make slip> menu item. However 1:5 is too short for a practical inside slip in P4. It would likely be an outside slip instead at that angle. Even 1:6 is tight for an inside slip in P4. I'm not too clear where you want to put it? cheers, Martin.

... I would imagine that it was a real pain to maintain and that's why they did away with it. Hi Phil, On that argument they could have done away with the steam locomotives and gone over to DMUs. Martin. Hi Martin Having relaid a plain diamond and fettled a second, I can safely say that they are bad enough, I for one would not like to fettle that formation very often. Using DMUs may only increase the time between maintenance periods and I doubt whether they could get a replacement lump for the outside slip if that was worn. As a piece of trackwork I do admit, it does look nice.

... topic: 3148 Rotating NLS maps in Templot posted: 5 Dec 2017 21:56 from: r_wilton I've been trying to load a background image from the NLS from within Templot. It all works as expected except for some reason i can't rotate the map using shift alt buttons with the mouse.If i go directly to the NLS website outside of Templot the rotate function works fine. Am i doing something wrong or is the rotate function not available in Templot? Regards Ray. posted: 5 Dec 2017 22:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ray, The embedded browser in Templot is a version of Internet Explorer provided by Windows for embedding. Templot has no control over the way it works. Unfortunately some of the NLS web functions don't work on there. You have 2 options: 1. rotate the map in your usual browser and make your own screenshot. There is a function on the background shapes dialog at help> calculate size of a map screenshot menu item to obtain the required size for the picture shape. or 2. make a screenshot ...
... topic: 3500 Bug Warning: printing bug in 223c posted: 11 Sep 2019 02:31 from: Martin Wynne There is a serious bug in the latest version 223c. When printing the control template, the timber infill is escaping across the page outside the timber outlines. This could waste a lot of ink, and obscure other parts of the template. I'm a bit surprised that no-one has mentioned it? Perhaps not many folks use Templot to print single one-off templates these days? Fortunately it doesn't apply to track plans/ background templates, nor to PDF or other outputs. It's only when direct printing the control template (F11). It was caused by yours truly when messing about with the experimental 3D chairing. Sorry about that. I will get it fixed in the next program update as soon as possible. I had intended to wait a while before releasing the next update, but this bug needs urgent fixing. cheers, Martin. posted: 11 Sep 2019 16:36 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, ...
... template. I can't see any useful purpose that is served by display of all of those paths; instead what I would want to see is the envelope representing the furthest projection of any part of the dummy vehicle in the course of such traverse. That seems likely to be a combination of parts of the various paths denoted by the purple lines, but one is only interested in the parts of such paths that extend further out than any of the other paths plotted. Only when the path plotted by one point crosses and lies outside the path described by any other point does it form part of the clearance envelope and need to be displayed. Not sure I've expresssed myself very clearly, and what I am proposing may be of excessive computational complexity in any case, but them's my thoughts. posted: 26 Sep 2017 15:33 from: Martin Wynne John Palmer wrote: Not sure I've expresssed myself very clearly, and what I am proposing may be of excessive computational complexity in any case, but them's my thoughts.

... important that I do get on and make some progress with the Templot Companion. Just saying "lots of friendly help on Templot Club" isn't much help if the friends all say different things. I do wonder how other software copes with this problem? And having said I'm going to get on with the Templot Companion, I'm not actually doing it today or any other day for months now, because it is far more interesting to get on with the code for the NLS map imports, or the code for auto-generated outside slips, or the code for... regards, Martin. posted: 15 Sep 2017 20:22 from: Tony McGartland I watched one of the video tutorials and found it very interesting.

... the 1:24 even with removing the rails before the switch tips forces the whole arrangement too far to the left and means a very tight curve to get everything joined up again.

Switch the computer off and get outside. As I said, you need a short custom switch. I have come in just long enough to make you one: 2_190942_350000001.png 2_190942_350000000.png It's a 6ft curved switch. After loading the attached .box file it will be in the bottom slot of the switch list, from where you can select it into your turnouts. Or alternatively use this turnout as-is. You can adjust the size to whatever you want using F5 or F9. At 1:4 it has a radius of 11" as above. At 1 ...

Andrew Duncan wrote: Now I know you're expecting this, but if you'd now conjure up a three way, I promise not to ask you anything more....for at least a very long time! Hi Andrew, Keith, An automated tandem is going to have me scratching my head for weeks/months, and I'm not going to even look at it for a while. It is likely to be limited to a few common size combinations. An automated outside slip may be more feasible, at least for regular diamonds. But I really must now spend more time on the Templot Companion, if I can drag myself away from the program coding to get on with it. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Sep 2017 08:48 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin A few weeks ago, pre version 215a auto slip feature, I created a station throat, as in the attached .box file.

... reason for doing that? It's not likely that we would ever want more than one instance of that form, or want to inherit another one from it. I would have simply added them as procedures in the implementation section... Hmmmm- possibly ignorance on my part. I do remember agonising over this, and in particular, thinking "what's the point of putting a Private element in the interface at all? Surely that's what the Implementation section is for?" I understand the interface section is for things referenced from outside... but then why have Private things there? I seem to recall I had it in the implementation section at first, but I can't remember why I put it in the Interface in the end. (Googling for a while did not answer my question on the Interface/Private combination). But in this case they are not referenced anywhere other than in the above procedure, so they might just as well be nested child procedures within it. That way everything is kept nicely contained in one place, and ...
... about Macs, others here may be better placed to add to this. You are not seeing the full Templot screen for some reason. Do this: 2_111722_210000000.png 1. click restore down on the trackpad window. 2. you should then see in the bottom right corner, the program size slider. Move it upwards until you get a comfortable result after making the change. This will change the size of most things in Templot. But not the menus. The size of those is controlled by your display settings in Windows10, outside of Templot's control. Close Templot, then on the Windows desktop, right-click on a blank area and select Display Settings. Then under Scale and layout I suggest you set 125% or 150%, for the size of your screen. Note that this will affect all your Windows programs, not only Templot. Thanks for alerting me to this problem. I will add a means in the next program update to adjust the program size without needing access to the slider. p.s. If you have right-clicked ...
... of the platform. I presume this would have two main starter arms, one for each platform but would these give a route indication or would this be determined by the road that the signaler pulls off? In addition to this would each road require a subsidiary signal for shunting or would the main arm just be given? Moving down the line, on the main line there could be a section signal towards the end of the scenic section? As for arriving at the terminus, I presume there would be a home bracket signal outside the main point. I am unsure what arms and indication this would require as you can effectively access the loop, platform 1, bay platform and yard from the main line. Again, I presume there would need to be a subsidiary arm or ground signal for shunting or when the platforms are occupied? I don't think the branch at the top requires any signalling as it is not on the scenic part of the layout for long enough to model any. However, I presume the yard and loop are going to need ...
... with DEMU Update work and a lot of shows, so it wore me out somewhat). Yes, I'll look at widening the spacings (I've moved the outer siding on the right out a bit already, though more is needed, but too late to do more now). I've made some changes since my earlier posting, having researched the location, it seems more than usual long timbers were used to support the crossings, possibly this is due to the 3rd rail to give more support where it has to switch from outside to inside (which it will in the station)? A look at your revision and compared to photos of the area on flickr (admittedly a bit later than my time period, but I can live with that) It also seems to show that interlaced sleeping was not used in the area.

... rid of the branch run around and instead push pulls/dmu's can go straight into the bay, anything needing to run around can join the mainline and run around there before moving to the bay. I have tried moving the goods yard to the front (at the bottom) along with the cattle docks as that's the only place I could see to put them? and have turned the inside loop into mostly a goods yard headshunt but could also be used by slow moving goods trains to move out of the way? The outside loop has an extension on the end for the same reason. I do loose a small industry with this plan though? i.e timber yard/dairy/mill etc. At the top left and left hand side behind the railway will be the country village/town that crosses over the branch line with a level crossing. and then a small country road will lead down past the station for the entrance to that. 3446_251148_520000000.png Attachment: attach_2476_3030_loftwithsinglebay .box 219 posted: 25 Jul 2017 17:23 from: Nigel Brown Looking fine ...

Is it the Community Edition that you use for Templot or have you purchased the full blown edition? Hi Mike, I strongly advise against the Delphi Community Edition. It seems to be just a marketing exercise by Embarcadero. You will get endless nagging emails from them to buy the very expensive full version, even hinting that you are using the Community Edition outside the licence conditions. And there is no guarantee that the licence will be renewed after the first 12 months. If you are looking to do a bit of coding, I suggest Lazarus. Free and open-source: http://www.lazarus-ide.org/ It's a clone of early versions of Delphi. For Templot2 I use a very early version, Delphi5 from 1998.

Attachment: attach_2885_3491_slew.box 114 posted: 19 Aug 2019 17:45 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, The problem with the transition isn't that the radii are too similar, the problem is that they are both on the same centres. Is this any good? You didn't say how far round the curve you wanted to go on the right, so this is just my guess: 2_191229_460000000.png 2_191229_470000001.png Box file below. Manually create a transition having the required radii change over a suitable length. Add a slew that starts and ends just outside the transition zone. Peg it onto the outer curve on the right. Adjust the slew amount (CTRL+ F7) until it is nicely over the bottom template at the end of the slewing zone. Put the peg on the end of the slewing zone position. Make split at peg to leave a short bit of plain curve. Cancel the slew in it. Recreate the bottom transition curve from it. Check running clearances on the right. You could extend the template to replace the fixed curve top right if you ...

... . This change will be in the next program update 218d shortly now available. It will be interesting to have some feedback on this for different systems, processors and screen sizes. Separately from that, I have added yet another menu option, to improve the response when working on large track plans. Often in such cases all the current design work is taking place in a small area, despite the plan being much larger overall. I thought it would be helpful to be able to tell Templot to ignore temporarily all background templates outside a specified rectangle. This doesn't make any difference when working zoomed in to that rectangle of course, but if you happen accidentally to zoom out too far on a large plan, it can take a while for Templot to catch up with the Windows message queue and let you zoom back in. If it's not having to draw all the templates, that is possible much sooner. We already have a mechanism to draw such a rectangle on the trackpad, and adjust it by mouse actions. It's the output boundary rectangle for ...
