... topic: 712 Scaleing a drawing to 4mm. posted: 26 Jan 2009 14:34 from: Alberta, I wonder if anyone could help me out im totally stuck. I have recently been involved in a project& im trying to get the correct scale& size of a particular site. I used the google maps& managed to crudley get a rough dimension of the area to be modelled. I am& always have been terrible with maths it has never been a strong point so i wondered if anyone here could help me out to scale this size. The key to the google maps was a inch= 200ft Now my measuring with a tape gave me these measurements 2inch= 400ft 3inch= 600ft 6.5inch= 1300ft Now how do i scale these down to 4mm to 1ft& what would the above measurements be in ft& inchs once calculated because i,ve been sat here with a pen& paper trying for dear life& tearing my hair out at the same time Thanks Alberta. posted: 26 Jan 2009 14:58 from: ...

... topic: 756 A question about modern trackwork. posted: 8 Mar 2009 14:38 from: Alberta, I am trying to design a new layout based on modern practice& i would like to know what kind of sized pointwork would be used in a yard. What would be the minimum sized pointwork& what would be the maximum sized points used I.E B6 C10 etc etc. Hopefully once this is cleared up i can design the layout a bit better knowing that the pointwork is correct.

... topic: 757 Langley green. posted: 8 Mar 2009 19:13 from: Alberta, Can anyone help me with a trackplan of Langley Green when it had all its trackwork& the junction. After my thread about modellers block& the replys i got i did a bit of research into the stations mentioned& found Langley Green a possible place to base my model. I know their was a junction their once upon a time& a goods yard further down the line which could warrant me to use the trackplan& make a fictious station in Birmingham with plenty of freight opperations& maybe a bit of shunting to some kind of business. I think the plan has potential& after using Google maps& the metric calculator in Templot it works out at 9ft from the tip of the station to the road bridge which gives me 2 scenic breaks& keeping it small sized. Thanks. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser. Templot Club> Forums> Prototype pics> Langley green ...

... . To get the most out of them it is helpful if not necessary to follow and duplicate what the tutorial is doing. I have found it most helpful to watch your video tutorials and then make up my own printed (with screen shot pictures) tutorials. Throughout this process I have made a number of misteaks (Spelling error intentional) but I have learned much about both track work and how Templot works to make partial templates that are used to produce some fantastic trackwork. Hope this helps all. Regards John P in Alberta posted: 18 Mar 2009 09:32 from: Pete Brownlow Hi Martin, I sympathise with you- I do IT support and you do occasionally get users who will take their frustrations out on you. I had a user recently who seriously told me that the solution I was proposing to his problem was unacceptable because it meant he would have to think about it! My suggestion (and I think you should do this with all of us Templot users) is to respond that technical support (with the exception perhaps of ...
