201. Upload problems
... from: PeterD I have tried 7 times to upload a .box file and a .png image and had returned SQL failure. I have tried opening the .box file in Templot and there was no problem. I also tried to preview the image and again no problem. I have used Chrome and also Internet Explorer and also closed down my PC and re-started it. Still same problem. Could anyone please advise what I am doing wrong? Many thanks Peter posted: 7 Apr 2014 15:25 from: Martin Wynne testing Attachment: attach_1813_2439_high_road_2014_04 _07_1524_49.box 229 posted: 7 Apr 2014 15:28 from: Martin Wynne testing png attachment Attachment: attach_1814_2439_bs95r_dims.png 151 posted: 7 Apr 2014 15:33 from: Martin Wynne testing image gallery 2_071030_570000000.gif 2_071032_280000000.jpg posted: 7 Apr 2014 15:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Peter, It seems ok now.

... )? 2.Has anyone used this point structure on their layout and if so which point motors have you used? I am replacing Peco Switches which are operated by either Peco or SEEP motors, both of which work satisfactorily on the Peco Switches but which I feel will be a bit sudden for what I want to do. Would these motors be powerful enough to bend the points to the necesseray curve and hold them in place? I suspect the locking mechanism would fail. Are there any recommendations for alternatives? 3.How are the tiebars attached? Obviously they must be insulated electrically. Is it the usual practice to use a PCB suitably modified with the actuating rod soldered to it? Not great for appearance but practical? I would appreciate any answers.

... sure what has changed just yet. The program crashes for me when using the 'new' TS spacing tool. I hadn't tried it in the last version so don't know if all was well then. I seem to be able to fire up Templot and make a change to the track spacing by moving the slider and accepting the value but if I dither around on the slider moving it around for a short while I get an error from Windows. Have tried to upload screen shots but Templot Club just sits there. First screenshot attached also noticed the PC CPU use spike just as the crash occurs- see next post for the screenshot.

... topic: 778 What should I start with? posted: 3 Apr 2009 15:25 from: BruceNordstrand Howdy all I have a new install of Windoze Xp and Templot so I can work on a new plan a friend of mine designed. This is stage 1 of a double deck layout in my garage (pic attached) I have a BMP file all ready to load into Templot as a background image but frankly, I do not know where to start. You see, there is not many straight sections in this plan and very few straight turnouts. Would you suggest I try manipulating a turnout to fit and go from there or start with some plain track sections and insert turnouts into that? I am still very green behind the ears when it comes to Templot so please be gentle...

... 01:09 from: Mike Wilks Hi. Suspect this is covered somewhere but cannot find it. I have a scan of a hand drawn trackplan that represents 16 real feet. The scan is appx 25cm long when printed. It is a .jpg file. Therefore I assume that the scale is appx 20:1. I can import it but cannot work out how to tell templot what the scale is- at the moment I have a length of O gauge plain track the same size as the scan....

... break at the heel? Are there issues/cautions needed when track cleaning? Sounds interesting. Kind regards Andrew Hi Andrew 528_151428_480000000.jpg There is indeed an electrical break at the heel, visible on the right of the pic. There is a dropper soldered to the underside of each rail (before laying), just to the left of the loose heel chairs, which passes straight through the baseboard. The switches are laid simply by gluing the heel chair to the timber. After that, the tiebar (gapped PCB strip) is attached, by means of bent brass pins which pivot in the the tiebar and are soldered to the switch rails. The chairs are standard plain track chairs made by a member of the 3mm Society for members; they are fairly robust. The Society now has finer detail chairs which are possibly not as strong, but in tests I've done of them I think they're fine for this purpose. Nigel Edit: would add that the switches are longer than prototype, as you'd expect. The heel chairs and the adjacent chair are carved ...
... main line facing and trailing turnouts with one diamond obtuse crossing in main line four foot" sounds more like an offset half-scissors than an outside slip. The difference from a slip is that the switch deflections would be in the diamond roads. Sorry, I don't quite follow your first question, but I'm sure there is a solution to your problem. (The next turnout after clip C from the live session is created in exactly the same way as the previous turnout above it.) If you post a screenshot or attach your .box file it will be easier to answer your question. cheers, Martin.

A template running along the long edge of the screen printed out along the long edge of the paper. Simple? The other changes look useful. I hope the strange minimizing action has been sorted finally. I'll let you know. The mouse wheel one won't affect me though- I no longer even have a mouse attached to my PC Cheers posted: 19 Jul 2007 17:01 from: Brian W Lewis Hi Martin! Thanks for that! I had stuck with .82 up til now, but I have now upgraded to .91b. It's looking good (though I don't do much sophisticated stuff like the two-monitor thing). An excellent program has just got even better. Thanks for your efforts- they are greatly appreciated. Last edited on 19 Jul 2007 17:02 by Brian W Lewis posted: 19 Jul 2007 17: ...
... P4 layout, Mostyn, as it will shortly become following two minor modifications:- the introduction of road 17 as a loop from road 16- the introduction of a trailing siding from road 16 for the storage of light engines I'm afraid that not all of the scenic section of Mostyn was 'templotted'- some of it dates from the dark and distant age when we played with paper templates before realising that the complex areas would need the help of Templot. The ruling minimum radius on this design is 1200mm.

210. Old Rail?
... topic: 520 Old Rail? posted: 11 Aug 2008 02:43 from: GeoffJones A question for our historians, but nothing to do with Templot I recently moved to the village of Pontesbury in Shropshire and walking the dog along the old railway track near Pontesbury station I have noticed the remains of an old sign supported by a steel post shaped as shown in the attached rough sketch. The apex is slightly sloped to one side, suggesting either design or wear from wheels. The base is about 150mm across. Is this a piece of very old rail (possibly narrow gauge) or just some sort of heavy angle iron used for such purposes. It does seem pretty hefty for simply supporting a sign. I haven't had time to find out much about the line yet but I do know that it was a single line branch of the Shrewsbury and Welshpool Joint Railway and the principal traffic was lead from the mines at Snailbeach which was brought down to Pontesbury station on a 2ft 4 1/2in narrow gauge line. Any ideas? Regards Geoff ...
211. Forum v. Yahoo
... , You can please some of the people some of the time, but... Some folks prefer forums, some prefer email. Generally the former are in the majority, because on a forum: 1. you can include pictures and diagrams directly on the page. It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so that's a lot of typing saved! 2. you can read only what interests you and quickly skim or ignore the rest. 3. there is no risk of viruses, spam or dodgy attachments, and no advertising. 4. many users are unhappy about privacy issues and advertising on Yahoo. But unlike most forums, on this one you can choose. You can go on receiving forum messages as emails -- either via Yahoo, or direct from the forum instead. I have no plans to change this, so if you don't like to visit the forum pages you needn't do so. The only proviso is that you need to register on the forum and visit it if you want to see attached images or ...
... topic: 613 Raymond's shunting layout posted: 3 Nov 2008 21:33 from: Raymond I have attached the box file for a project I am working for myself. Being, despite all the years modelling, the first layout of my own I'd appreciate the input of the more experienced among this experienced group. 7mm scale, 31.2mm gauge. It is to be largely a freight, parcels and bulk mail, hence the rudimenatry platform, though the odd push-pull and or steam railmotor will come and go on occasion. Set in Birmingham in 1900 and serving a number of factories in a cramped position, hemmed in by tall buildings. Most freight sidings disappear into buildings so that incoming wagons can be swapped for full or empty as required. Some are for vans and will have canopy's. I have tried to show these using track centrelines. Is it operationally viable? All comments will be very much appreciated.

I have never built a layout depicting the post nationalisation era, nor one with diesels, so this will be a first. This plan is drawn in O-XF, but I also have one drawn in P4. All I need is for God to grant me time enough to construct it.

Are you going to make a large oval main line with the station on one side and hidden sidings on the other, or are you going to use two sets of hidden sidings with the Whiteladies Road and St.Johns Road bridges as the scenic breaks? I never saw the station with its goods yard since I think that the shopping centre had been built on the yard ...
... TEXITP. I assume then that the other end of the curve (where the notch ends up) is just twice the radial length of the DP to the TEXITP from the TEXITP and not a specific position in the turnout. So have I assembled it wrong? I have a feeling I am close to understanding but need a nudge. Thanks in anticipation. Paul PS. Having got to the end I realised that perhaps I need to move the TEXITP further from the FP so tried and failed having used CTL+ F12.

All comments would be gratefully received. I hope that it will not look too cramped in the very small space available? If the overall layout is OK, what about the sleepering.

Any feedback gratefully received. In particular, I struggled to join two of the turnouts together with a plain piece of track (just above the diamond). Suspect I may also need to learn how to transition between pieces better. Not sure if it's possible to exactly follow the lines on the 6" maps but I've tried to keep as close as possible.

It is based upon Shepperton for the track plan. Only one (lower) platform will be used, and the bay is for parcels/goods only so would be fenced off. It is to be set in 1959-62. I *think* I've gotten the double slip right after quite a few tries, but not 100% sure. I haven't been able to get PR472 (the right most curving line) to line up with DL464 (the slip). The bottom most right hand and left hand sidings may change/go, the left hand one might be built as a partially removed siding.
