For some notes on importing scanned images as background picture shapes, see this recent topic: topic 2825 If the image becomes blocky or fuzzy when scaled up to match the track templates, you need to scan it again at a higher dpi resolution on the scanner. If you post the image here as an attachment, it will be easier to suggest a solution. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Jan 2016 19:21 from: tarik Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Tarik, Welcome to Templot Club.

... and/or F10 instead. 2. the move pad origin mouse action is in effect made redundant by the drag panning function and no longer strictly needs a mouse action. It remains in the menu but loses its shortcut. 3. pad centred on peg has lost its shortcut. edit: No it hasn't. I'm getting confused myself now.

... I am struggling, I will take your comments on board about the two turnouts back to back. Mike posted: 12 May 2020 21:24 from: Mike Kynaston Can I ask for a little help here? I've tried Martin's approach, but using separate points I cannot get a smooth run through the curve. Adding diamond crossovers by using P> D key presses from overlapping straight track works, but I cannot then convert those to single slips. Am I failing to do something? or just doing it wrong? I've attached the .box file so you can see what I've done. Excuse the gaps in the station trackwork, looking at images, Im not sure I've got the crossovers in the right place yet- the core station trackwork and lengths of line have been done by overlaying ontop of the NLS map of York- thanks for that feature Martin!

124. Track centres
... ? Hi John, Not 10ft track centres, you mean 10ft-way (15ft-2in centres, 60.67mm). I don't think there is a standard spacing within engine sheds. Here is a typical shed drawing -- the tracks appear to be at 15ft centres (60mm at 4mm/ft): 2_041420_120000000.png Obviously it needs to be more than standard 6ft-way to allow safe working for staff on the ground. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Jul 2016 21:54 from: Tony W Hi John. Attached is a copy of the map we used when constructing a model of Bodmin in P4. (1920s) It should give you the information you require. Just watch out for the kink in the horizontal axis as the grid lines should obviously be straight and the tracks will be displaced by a similar amount. This is the result of a poor scan but is the best I can do for the moment as I cannot find the original. Regards Tony W. Attachment: attach_2306_2894_Bodmin_map.png 280 posted: 6 Jul 2016 12:30 ...

Sholuld the components be grouped together to form one template? My progress to date is small, but was like climbing a mountain last night and I went to bed a very happy man to even generate this small part of my large plan....

... probably squeeze 7 in for an outbound train. Platform 2- 5 coaches outbound, 4 incoming Platform 3- 3 coaches. I guess the simplest option is a double slip.. but not sure if my track building skills are up to that!!!.. are there simpler options.. If we're talking something complex( like a DS) I really would appreciate someone helping me out as I've tried a DS in the past and never really been happy I got it right, despite following the tutorials. I've attached the latest box file.. Note I need to shift the release crossover about 2-3 inches so I can shorten the station roads slightly as I overshot and not happy with the room for the passengers to get round the buffers between platforms 1 and 2/3.

... track, but I want to ensure the straight track remains at a given rotate angle, is there a way to do that. I currently find I have to tweak the curve, and re-snap the straight track and check that the K remains at zero for the straight. i.e. it would be useful to have a" swing to a K" type option Hi Dave, I've read that a few times and I think you want to adjust a curve to finish at a specified angle, so that you can attach a straight track at that angle? Lots of ways to do that, here's a bit of video showing one of them: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=kU1YjsYyIZJYO4pK8R9Xtw2 On the other hand it would be far better, quicker and easier to offset the templates a little and then use the make transition function on them. Model railway curves tend to be far sharper than the prototype, and don't look good or work well if a tangent straight comes off them with no easement between the two. regards, ...

... can clear the switch blades and run round the train. This has resulted in an ugly curved section with a pretty tight radius between the point and the double slip as the slip is based on 1:6 diamonds. If I replace the 1:4 with a 1:6 and make the section between the point and slip straight it looks much better, but I'll only ever be able to fit an 0-4 -0 or maybe just an 0-6 -0 tank into the "headshunt". I've attached both .box files, the "plus" one is the one that will mean extending beyond the current baseboard edge So, do I knock a hole in the sidescene and have say a 12" bolt on single track "fiddle yard" and have the prettier track arrangement? I'd have to hide the exit with trees or somesuch scenic device, or maybe resite the signal box to the other side of the tracks. Or is it just too contrived and would make the layout more awkward to fit into exhibition plans with an ...

But as I have said before, Templot drawings come with lost of unnecessary 'chaff' and removing it is not quick, nor permanent. Is the attached file useable?

... the tie-bars are aligned, NG track is correctly 'sided' with the SG for the main-road (common stock rail), but the NG is centralised on the turnout-road. Now I start to encounter difficulties... I have tried roaming the NG turnout along the SG one and changing the NG v angle, but without any degree of success! Please could you give some pointers on the steps that I should be following to get this type of turnout produced.

To get a feeling for what is involved, you might like to download this sample file: topic 289 and look at all the partial templates. Note that this is a crossover without side-swapping, so not much use for passenger trains between platforms. Adding a side- ...

If you take the left most turnout, it is approached on a left hand curve through the switch and emerges on a right hand curve at the crossing.

It's not in "photos", documents or anywhere visible in Wine. posted: 1 Jan 2018 21:11 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roy, You can't import a PDF directly into Templot. A PDF file is a wrapper container for other content such as images, drawings, text, etc. Some PDF reader programs let you extract the contained images, or export the page as a new image. If you would like to attach the PDF file here, I will extract the image for you and post it back. I can't answer how to find your Mac files from Wine, sorry. Someone here should be able to. I have found a convenient way to access files for Wine is to put them on a USB memory stick or external drive instead of the usual C: drive. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jan 2018 12:20 from: roythebus Hi Martin, the system won't let me attach a PDF on here either for ...
137. Notch
... moving the notch back to the datum and repeating the original process and then the notch appears from nowhere and I am back to pulling my hair out. I have tried three or four times even to putting the switch in the stock rail and then trying to put the other switch in the closure. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong as I am not giving any commands to move the notch except when it has appeared and I have moved it to the datum, to be out of the way. I attach a screen shot of what I end up with.

... topic: 699 Merseyside 3rd Rail Electrics posted: 17 Jan 2009 13:18 from: David Catton Hi, I'm a newbee to this list but Martin encouraged me to post this query. Does anyone know the dimensions of the sleepers used by BR LMR in the 1950s/1060s for the Merseyside area third rail electric stock? Contemporary (1950s/1060s) photos (a poor quality scan of one taken from a book is attached) confirm that asymmetric sleepers were in use in the period I am interested in but it appears that the dimensions were almost certainly different from the sleepers used by Southern Railway and presumably by BR Southern Region and currently (no pun intended!) .Any help with this would be much appreciated- or even a pointer to a relevant source of accurate information so that the Templot scheming of my proposed layout can be completed as accurately as possible.Thanks in anticipation,David Catton Attachment: attach_459_699_track001.jpg 873 posted: 19 Feb 2009 22:35 from: David Burton David I have asked several friends who work in railway civil engineering for ...
