1. Windows 7
... topic: 960 Windows 7 posted: 23 Oct 2009 16:07 from: brianod Hi, Sorry if this has been previously answered but will Templot run under Windows 7 and if yes do I have to be running the latest version of Templot. Regards Brian O'Donovan posted: 23 Oct 2009 17:01 from: richard_t And just out of interest, does Templot run under 64-bit Windows 7- if I'm splashing out on a new OS, might as well be 7, posted: 23 Oct 2009 17:16 from: Martin Wynne Yes and yes. Install 074b first, then 091c. But please -- remember to install a local printer driver first. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Oct 2009 20:06 from: William Adkins Windows 7 Problem: I just reinstalled from the web site 074b followed by 091c. When exiting out of either program I get the following error message: Cannot create file C:\templot\boxmru.txt. The program will not automatically shut down. Please advise. Bill posted: 23 Oct ...
... topic: 2178 A Prototype For Everything? posted: 14 Mar 2013 20:05 from: brianod undefined 44_141450_100000000.jpg 44_141502_020000000.jpg 44_141451_020000000.jpg 44_141451_310000000.jpg Attached are some photos that I took today at the Echills Wood Railway a 7 1/4 inch line that runs in Kingsbury Water Park in North Warwickshire showing a turnout ready for installation where not only is it the switch that is moveable but also the nose of the crossing. All of the other turnouts on this line are conventional so why the change for this application I don't know. posted: 6 Apr 2013 18:12 from: Andy Crow Hi Brian, A friend of mine is a very active member at Kingsbury and he has now provided some information on these turnouts at Kingsbury. They work to the 7 1/4 Society Narrow Gauge standard which is quite coarse but will cater for a wide variety of prototypes. They also have a back to back variation of about 5/16" depending on the prototype modelled. This in turn requires quite a large gap between the heel of the crossing rail and ...
... topic: 2806 Using Templot Template as a permanent track base posted: 13 Dec 2015 11:46 from: brianod Hi, I have been building track using Templot for a while but until now I have used the paper template as a temporary base and so I have printed onto 80 gsm A3 paper and glued the sleepers with paper glue such as Prit Stick and then removed the paper template when the section of track is complete usually by spaying the paper with water. Obviously I then have to be very careful when moving the track section to the baseboard. I understand that a number of members build the track sections permanently on the template using heavier paper and then ballasting over the paper template once the track is laid. I have just purchased some 160 gsm A3 paper from Staples and can see the advantage of this method of track build- much less chance of damage to the completed track section when either trying to remove the template or moving the section to it's final location. Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, my question is what ...
4. Vista 64 Bit
... topic: 518 Vista 64 Bit posted: 8 Aug 2008 00:00 from: brianod I will be replacing my PC later this year and some of the machines that I am looking at run Windows Vista with a 64 bit operating system. However, I have been warned that not all software will run on this system and so my question is, does Templot? Regards Brian O'Donovan posted: 8 Aug 2008 00:54 from: Dave Summers Brian Before you spend your money, I suggest you read this first: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1426/vista_64_bit_or_32_bit_version_x64 _vs_x86 I have no direct experience of 64-bit Vista, but the word seems to be that unless you have SERIOUS security concerns, stick with 32-bit Vista. Cheers Dave posted: 8 Aug 2008 03:57 from: Simon Dunkley I have installed Vista on my Mac, within Parallels. I have had no problems running Templot on it- in fact it is the only reason I had for buying Windows Vista (quite happy with XP on ...
... scale that will fit up to about a C-10 turnout; in 7mm/ft scale only short industrial turnouts will fit. In 2mm/ft scale you can get quite a lot of trackwork on a single sheet of A3. If you are printing a single turnout template rather than one which is part of a track plan, you may be able to make it fit the paper by setting it diagonally across the page, like this: scanned_printout1.gif regards, Martin. posted: 10 Mar 2011 11:27 from: brianod Hi Brian I have been using an A3 printer to print out Templot plans for years. If you want to print out an individual template, this will obviously only work if it is smaller than A3 but the ability to move the print origin point helps here. To print larger sections of my layout I do a multiple page prints and glue them together using a straight edge along the "XY" lines which are also printed to ensure accuracy. This can also be done with an A4 print but A3 is less work ...
... a pain- and you have to make sure it stayed straight. I also tried fax roll, but I haven't found any wide enough, and I think the results weren't great. I too have an R3000 after my 1200's inks got stupidly expensive. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try lining paper in it, as it's still a bit new and shiny for me :- D I've tried A3 photo paper, and that printed a treat with Templot. Richard. posted: 21 Dec 2012 15:36 from: brianod Hi Tony, I print my track plan on A3 80 gm paper using my canon printer and then stick them together using a paper glue (Pritt Stick or similar). There are guide lines on each sheet to make lining them up quite easy, simply use a straight edge. My printer does not have the facility to use roll paper so I cannot comment on this.I then glue the sleepers down to the template for construction again using Pritt Stick. When the section of track is completed, simply wet the paper and ...
... to remove the template is probable not a good idea. Is there a message thread that may have various solutions please. Cheers Simon Handby posted: 3 Jul 2013 08:28 from: John Arkell Hi Simon You may find what you need on Brassmasters website http://www.brassmasters.co.uk/track_details.htm See item P005 Regards John Arkell posted: 3 Jul 2013 08:36 from: Alan Turner You could also try these: http://www.proto87.com/accurate-track.html Alan posted: 3 Jul 2013 11:05 from: brianod Hi SimonCan not help you to source the parts but in terms of track construction, I pre-stain my ply sleepers with a spirit based stain and stick them to the template using a paper glue- Pritt Stick or similar. I use solder construction for the track and have had no problems with soaking the completed track template to remove the paper. Often the paper can be removed by simply spraying the completed template with water from the type of spray bottle that you would use to spray the leaves of household plants.Regards Brian ...
... installation to continue which it appeared to do OK. The new version appeared to start and run without problems. However, as I am a suspicious old so-and-so, I did a re-install with the Ransomware protection turned off with no problem. I am always concerned that when a third party program interrupts an installation the relevant files may get skipped and ultimate failure will be lurking. Looking forward to playing with the new slip functionality. Regards- Clive posted: 8 Sep 2017 10:17 from: brianod Hi,I use Bitdefender and its ransomware protection picked up Templot when I tried to install it as it does with any program that it has not seen before. I just included it in its list of allowed programs and no further problems. Regards Brian posted: 8 Sep 2017 13:46 from: Judi R Downloaded and installed perfectly OK running Win 7 Pro.
