... leaving it in place while the show runs isn't practical. I'm still learning my way with this software, please ignore any slight glitches. Alexander is still working on the controls, so there are likely to be some changes. Several users have asked for a "replay from start" button, so that there is no need for the endless looping. There is also a lot of stuff which I left off, such as the "share on Facebook" social media functions. cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Jul 2019 08:10 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have just tried it on my laptop running Win 10 and on the last one, I have to scroll down to get the play buttons which then cuts the top off the display, my screen resolution is set to the recomended 1366 x 768.

163. Help!
... mean and when I try to doddle something else I end up back at square one. I wonder if some kind soul would be able to modify/design something better? A simple drawing would do, I'm quite happy to knock it up in Templot. I would have liked to curve it, but I think the radiuses on the points might get a little tight (A6 min!), and in my mind's eye I can't see how the retaining wall would work in that situation. The locos would be either an 08, class 20 or class 25, so not very long, and the wagons a motley collection of unfitted, vacuum fitted, and the smaller air-braked stock. The more complex the pointwork the better! Help Richard.

... is so long is because the two radii are so similar -- 142mm/ 146mm. That's a difference of only 2.8% so I'm quite surprised it isn't much longer than a 1:20. A quick check suggests such close radii would require about 1:40. Of course no such bullhead crossing is available. An H switch would normally be natural at about 1:28. Perhaps 1:20 was the flattest bullhead crossing available? Thanks again for the pics. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Oct 2013 08:05 from: roythebus It appears to be a completely new turnout. The trackwork for Robertsbridge was designed by London Underground staff. Quite why they chose such a long turnout is a mystery! Maybe they had parts left over from another project?

... 22 May 2011 12:57 from: Alan Turner I see that there is a Sketchpad drop down. I also see a reference to Sketchpad in the File dropdown. Can I suggest that the reference in the File dropdown is removed? It's superfluous. Could I also plead for similar duplicate references to also be eliminated please? This has led to confusion for me with the current version. Simply it does not help me remember where things are. Please- one item one place.

If you are looking for something, the more places it is located the more chance you have of finding it. I agree that if you know the program inside-out, things need only to be in one place. But not many users are in that happy position, and even if they are it's often handy to have several different ways of getting to where you want to be. ...
... found this an issue for the penny numbers of switches we are making (15 pairs for my current opus) A far bigger issue for this jig is that the clamps use wood screws and these need re-plugging from time to time- those who want to take more than half an hour to make their version might resort to nuts and bolts or screws tapped into the brass base strip. Hope that helps a bit! Howard.

170. Email oddities
... topic: 3622 Email oddities posted: 1 Mar 2020 10:36 from: allanferguson I have things set up to get forum postings by email, and that mostly works fine. However I have recently been receiving multiple email copies of Martin's postings. This morning I received eleven emails with Martin's posting number 473. timed in here at 21:02. The emails were timed between 00:39 and 08:23. It's not a big issue, although there is a risk of me deleting good emails with the rubbish, But I wondered if anyone here might have any idea why this happens. It only seems to affect Martin's postings. Allan F posted: 1 Mar 2020 11:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Allan I posted a few days ago about some Templot emails not arriving or arriving very (days) late. I'm fairly sure there's something not right about the forum emails at the moment. With missing emails it's a bit tricky to see what's happened because I don't have them!

171. Swiss switch rails
... topic: 3621 Swiss switch rails posted: 29 Feb 2020 08:49 from: Alan McMillan Does anyone know of a source of the type of rail section that can be used to create switch rails like this?: 412_290334_060000000.jpg 412_290334_240000000.jpg 412_290516_180000000.jpg As you can see the rail has a very wide foot which ends just beyond the last slide chair where the standard rail section takes over. You can also see that it is only about two-thirds of the height of the standard section so it can clear the foot of the adjacent stock rail. If I can't sorce the correct rail does anyone have any ideas about how it might be fabricated, possibly from a smaller section standard rail than the Code 82 stock rail I intend to use?

That way you can find the spacing needed: 2_141321_450000000.png Put a copy of the dummy vehicle in place first, and then roll it to the conflict position. Then the mouse action adjusts the spacing until it is clear. That was added in 213a.

It has given me some confidence to carry on with this alternative track plan. All I need now is to get to grips with outside slips. I assume that it's a case of multiple partial templates. I did a quick search for outside slips but didn't see any reference to any tutorial or video so far but I'm guessing that the only difference between an inside and outside slip are their extra V crossings. Oh and that their noses must be on a ...
... not used it to know how accurate it is. Nothing comes off in either direction, but occasionally we do have to check and adjust the back-to-backs, as it is less tolerant in this respect. One word of warning. Heljan use a non-standard wheel profile, and their wheelsets do not go through 31.5, well, not without a 6lb hammerblow on the nose. San Cheng and Tower Brass do. Any further questions, ask away. Yours Richard Lambert posted: 28 Feb 2011 18:08 from: Rob Manchester Hi Richard, Thanks for the comments. I won't be using any Heljan locos on the layout so no problems there- nice models though. Interesting to hear what you say about the Sancheung/Bachmann/Tower brass locos- I do have one of Tower's Pug 0-4 -0 locos so that would probably be used. One thing I do need to know before starting work is what track standard offers the best visual look( that mainly comes down to small flangeways/check rail clearance as ...

I am a bit pushed for time to get a lot of baulks cut and BG track laid for an upcoming exhibition. Can I ask a pretty please to Martin to enable the rail-foot to .dxf in such a way that it appears in CAD as a separate layer? posted: 24 May 2016 08:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, At present the flat-bottom rail foot lines are not available in the DXF output, as you found. Sorry about that. I will see if I can get this fixed as soon as possible. Adding them to the RAILS layer wouldn't be difficult, but creating a new separate layer so that they can be exported separately is more work. Thanks for asking for this, the need for a separate layer hadn't occurred to me. You could perhaps try exporting only the ...

Hi John, The reason for the security warnings is that the program code is unsigned -- I do not have a code signing certificate. To get one would cost me about £200 per year, which is untenable for a free program. One of the downsides of Templot being free is that you must click away these security warnings.
