Repeat the process to select any other pages wanted. 5. when you have finished selecting pages, click the yellow bar to omit all remaining pages. The printer will start up, if it hasn't already, and print the selected pages. regards, Martin. posted: 9 May 2018 17:29 from: Stephen Freeman As Martin will probably say, a Double slip is more than just one template but we know what you mean. Create a smaller group and create a copy. You can then move it away from the adjacent templates and just print that.

... topic: 2177 009 Templates- Y turnout posted: 14 Mar 2013 17:19 from: Stephen Freeman Hi Martin, It might be me of course, or my computer but I've just been doing some 009 turnouts, pretty sharp radius I know but there seems to be a problem with the Y turnout. Have I done something wrong or is there a flaw? Stephen Attachment: attach_1572_2177_009_2013_03_14_16 13_51.box 254 posted: 14 Mar 2013 18:32 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stephen, You have gone below what Templot can reasonably be expected to draw as a single template. For such an extreme turnout you really need to build it up from partial templates for each rail. Your crossing angle of 1:1.8 is shorter than the usual limit for turnouts (1 :2) and your curving radius of 102mm is only about 11 times the track gauge. Does any stock actually run round such a sharp curve? Or are you aiming for something like Gn15 -- see: attachment.php?id=177 gn15_1.png You can improve matters a little: 1 ...

... Arthur posted: 5 Jan 2012 13:57 from: Nigel Brown Arthur, a minor point; as far as I know half-turntables are usually referred to as sector-plates. Pretty uncommon, as they don't have the advantage of full turntables in being able to balance things over the pivot point. Traversers are parallel tracks laid on a movable table; this was the sort found at Birmingham Moor Street, Swindon works, and now at Didcot. Cheers Nigel posted: 5 Jan 2012 15:59 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Just had a look at the box file- if you are worried about the minimum radii remember that given your period it would be unlikely that REA specs would be in use so you could have a bit of an experiment with customising the vees, for instance using curviform throughout appears to give a useful increase at the possible expense of being less prototypical in some cases, I haven't tried out the other possibilities though, they may be better or worse. posted: 5 Jan 2012 16:15 from: Raymond ...
108. print now!
... . So I have added the print now! menu items which should be obvious to anyone. They also by-pass all the usual printer setup and calibration dialogs (a frequent complaint) and just print immediately to the current printer using the current settings. Please give it a bash and see if it breaks. Martin. posted: 22 May 2011 10:31 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have just tried it and it works a treat. Cheers Phil posted: 24 Jan 2012 16:00 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Not specifically about Print Now but about TDV printing in general. In 0.91c and earlier you always got a preview of the layout on screen before going to printing so to speak- the pages were shown in dotted outline form. Now it's disappeared, requiring extra work to see what's going to be the best fit, a retrograde step or am I missing something? posted: 24 Jan 2012 16:27 from: Martin Wynne Borg-Rail wrote: In 0.91c and earlier you always got a preview of the ...
... topic: 1672 Solenoid Motors for Semaphore Signals posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:34 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Just to let you know that I have a new solenoid motor for controlling semaphore signals. The solenoid is fitted inside a plastic tube (currently 10mm outside diameter but this may be reduced in the near future) which can be fixed directly to the baseplate of your signal. Operation is silent and smooth. Can be operated by cdu etc. I'm intending to do a Youtube video of it, perhaps later today, if I can but for now there are pictures and more info on my website. Oh yes Price- £3.00 plus P&P Stephen posted: 2 Nov 2011 08:36 from: Stephen Freeman I have now added a new Youtube video to the website Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

110. Printing problem
... topic: 2383 Printing problem posted: 21 Jan 2014 10:25 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Not of great importance but if I choose to print the control template. Computer says there is a communication problem. However template prints out OK nonetheless. It only happens when I choose to print the control template. Running XP SP3 posted: 21 Jan 2014 11:26 from: Martin Wynne Borg-Rail wrote: Computer says there is a communication problem. However template prints out OK nonetheless. Hi Stephen, Not Templot. It's a known problem with Epson printers. Try a shorter printer cable, or a higher grade cable. If it is an old-style parallel printer cable, try using a USB connection instead if the printer has a USB socket. If it happens only with the control template, it is something related to the colour codes on the cable, or the number of pages. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Jan 2014 13:01 from: Stephen Freeman Hi Martin, I shalln't worry about it too much ...

As I might have said before, the Southern seem to have employed such complicated trackwork several times, no doubt due to restricted space and cost of land etc. Is there perhaps some sort of competition going on to see who can build the most mind-boggling complex? posted: 11 Apr 2019 16:41 from: John Lewis Stephen wrote: I am following this topic closely as I seemed to have come across ...
... my concern in fixing the Templot drawing to the baseboard with a strong adhesive that does not affect the paper. The idea of using yacht varnish to seal the paper sounds good. But will the plastic track base adhere to the varnished paper. I think I will try a small test section to see if this system will work. I would never attempt to build track outdoors so all of mine will be built indoors on each baseboard before being installed outside. Regards Les posted: 22 Apr 2017 16:19 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I'd stick (sorry for the pun) with your normal method. The complex that appears as my avatar was built this way some years ago. It made it to North America where it is still in service. posted: 22 Apr 2017 16:34 from: Nigel Brown Just a couple of ideas, no idea if they will work.
