... . The paint, being acrylic, can also be diluted with water, useful if you want it easier to work with. Re raising the yard level, I've just bought some 3mm thick foamboard; you get loads in a pack of A1 sheets, for not a lot of money. Can think of various uses.

The results won't win any prizes, but I like them and looking back through my photos over the years is a pleasant way to spend an hour or two on a grey winter's day. I've been in the habit of posting them occasionally on RMweb, but I don't see any reason not to post them here. Here's the best of today's crop.

But it would make it easier to see directly the effect of your changes. I can make a video showing how, if you want?

... saved in the .box file. I can't put it in the user preferences. It might be possible to have a separate set of design preferences (represented in a master template), and you could then have a user option to "use master template at startup" (which option could be included in the user preferences). However, I do think the existing mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand -- load your previous work and you get the corresponding gauge/scale copied into the control template. If you didn't want your previous work, just delete it. But most of all, the Generator settings. To have to remove 6-7 ticks, with having to open the drop down every single time, is the most frustrating part of Templot. When I use Templot I do not want radial end marks, outline extension marks, timber centre lines, timber numbering, timber infill, 8'-6" marks on 9' sleepers. I can put the generator settings in the user preferences. But I'm not sure you ...
... outer edge of the rail foot -- as on the prototype, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to drop the rail into the chair. That means location relies entirely on the key, I'm not sure how well that will work for a model. Plenty of trialling and errorring awaits. cheers, Martin. Hi Martin, I think the keys should print OK in Shapeways hi-res resin but I suspect you'll need to include a locator on the outside of the foot. I tried to do it without that, but it didn't work (for me). Things are a bit different with a filament printer like the one I have. Unless you add some sort of support columns that will be removed later, it's not possible to have overhangs that exceed about 40% of the extruder nozzle's diameter. The slicer will build the overhang out gradually with each layer which means that the keys won't be too much like the real thing. For home printing I've completely abandoned any suggestion of keys. The outside jaw just presents a vertical surface that contacts both ...
... 37 from: Stewart McSporran Thanks for updating the links Martin (How on earth did you discover I'd registered grotsoft.net? I only did it a few days ago!). I was in hospital (car crash) when the .com domain expired and by the time I was discharged these *# $%# $% s had re-registered it from under me. It turns out you have absolutely no rights to a domain (unless it infringes trade marks) even if you created it in the first place. I didn't even bother asking how much they wanted for it; no way am I rewarding that sort of scum level business. David, hope you found the article useful.

... board to the track centre line and mark both of those spots on the board. This will give you the correct measurements to accurately align each end of the print to the correct position on the board. If it has wandered at all, it will be obvious at that time and you can tweak the print using a scalpel blade to pull it back into alignment. Sounds a lot more complicated than it is, but I have learned the hard way and laid track to a set of joined up prints and then found it didn't align with existing tracks some way away. posted: 11 Nov 2015 12:06 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: What I now do is use the digital ruler in Templot and take measurements to the track centre line where it crosses a baseboard join. Hi Gordon, Thanks. There is a much faster way to do that. Use the CTRL+ F8 mouse action to run the peg along the track centre-line.

Kind regards Andrew posted: 4 Nov 2018 21:57 from: Rob Manchester Hello Andrew, Wow, anybody with the skills to build the Malcolm Mitchell kits should get a medal You have my respect. I tend to stick to converted RTR locos although I like to build rolling stock from kits. The Toy Fair today didn't produce a 72XX- the green ones are in short supply. I did buy a Bachmann 2251 which looks nice in green even though people seem to complain about the mould line atop the boiler- the real loco had a join in the boiler cladding which actually produced a groove rather than a seam. The wheels are reckoned to be undersize but I can check that out when buying the wheels for conversion and see if the splashers can be thinned down a little. Also purchased a nice little Midland 1F open cab from Bachmann ...

... that Borg-Rail suggested? One of the huge advantages that Thunderbird and Firefox have over the equivalent Micro$oft products is that they can be customised. If there is something that you want it to do, someone else has probably had the same thought and written a plug-in or a user.js tweak for it. Have a bumble through http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ It really is worth persevering with Thunderbird!

... just be the top of the chair casting. If the chair was just a normal one with no key surely it wouldn't be possible to hold the track gauge at that point if the fishplate bolts were loose? Thanks for the info you provided. I order the 'Rodding' book last night. As it follows on from the track book it is likely well worth the price. You can never have too many books....

I have marked up the photo (which I should have done in the first place): 2_161247_070000000.jpg At A I think I can see the top corner of a fishplate. If it was bolted tight it would be flush with the rail head. Which suggests that the bolts in the closure rail are quite loose (and maybe tight in the switch rail?). Here's a drawing of BH fishplates: 2_161306_210000000.png It's clear that if the bolts are not tight, not only can the rail move sideways ...

In the meantime, I have just finished my first ever attempt at building my own track work....a 7mm OMF B7 crossover. All inspired by Templot (which, Martin, if I may say so, is a superb programme) and the efforts of others who have gone before me. The text didn't hinder me!

... problems moving beyond 14nm production is another major reason for this move from Apple. They can design and tailor the Axx chips for each device type as they please now, probably giving more cache and cores to iMacs/MacBooks etc and the MacBook Air if it continues will probably in effect use a faster version of the Axx chip in whatever iPad is current. They could have gone for AMD x86 chips (they already use AMD for graphics chips), but it probably felt the right time to bring the last remaining piece they didn't control in house. posted: 23 Jun 2020 17:13 from: Dave Summers Before posting nonsense please take care to THOROUGHLY check facts.

I've found a few websites where the layout is messed up or things don't work. I've also needed 3rd party extensions to do basic things that Firefox just does. I'm still undecided...

... Templot has reverted to the old common controls and looks very dated as a result. The XP themed controls are no longer supported. OK, I give up. Last night I ran my development version of Templot on Windows7 and it displayed the old Windows95 style buttons and controls (square grey buttons, no mouse-over effects until clicked). I spent a lot of time searching this problem on the web, and the consensus is that programs compiled using the compiler which I'm using can't access the latest Aero controls. I didn't entirely believe this, because some scrollbars (but nothing else) were showing in the Aero style. This morning, without changing anything, I have run the program again. Lo and behold the whole thing is now showing the Aero controls. I did nothing on the Windows 7 computer between switching it off last night and switching it on again this morning. It's entirely stand-alone, not connected to the internet, not networked, so it can't have updated itself in any way. It's been in use like that ...
