... topic: 3102 Irregular double slip diamond crossing. posted: 10 Oct 2017 06:49 from: Damien Morris As being new to templot, found the video showing how to convert intersection into diamond. Can you then convert the diamond into a double slip? posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:05 from: Stephen Freeman Yes but depends on the angles being sensible of course. posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:10 from: Damien Morris 43e042e20647a2d60012e447214bc442.p ng I'm trying it with the left one, and the angles are really shallow, but I think the one on the right will be tight. But it's only a single slip the 2nd.

... definitive template. However- I cannot get my head around the alteration of checkrail lengths, shortened or lengthened! There are several place where check-rails should seamlessly merge through turnouts and crossovers, but I get hopelessly lost in the various acronyms and options, so that anything I produce is actually by guesswork and accident. Can someone help me though this please? Thanks. Phil PS Surprisingly, shoving timbers is actually quite a restful task.

... topic: 1415 Printing templates on A3 posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:26 from: brianlwood I have a query with regard to printing templates from Templot. I currently print in A4 then marry the sheets together, no problems there. However, I am considering buying an A3 printer. Is there a way that I can then print onto A3 paper and get all of a turnout on such paper. Kind Regards, Brian Wood. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:44 from: Stephen Freeman Maybe. Depends on the Turnout/scale of course. 0 Gauge A6 on Super A3 will fit, anything much bigger will need 2 sheets. You could of course go for an A3 printer that will print on roll paper if that's an issue. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Yes, Templot prints to whatever paper size you have set on the printer.

... topic: 1331 Baseboard Track Joints posted: 7 Jan 2011 15:22 from: Stephen Freeman Over the years, there have been many and wonderful methods of trying to overcome the main problem with portable layouts, namely what to do with the track at the baseboard joints. We've had plates, screws and bits of track slid into place held only by railjoiners. None of these have been 100% effective. The problem with taking the track up to baseboard edge is that it is inevitably going to get damaged, unless held securely in place, soldered to screws or plates etc. Even then the tracks will not always correctly line up each and every time. Also you only have to witness the passage of a heavy locomotive over such joint to see that the effect is spoilt by the noise of going over a very rigid joint. This is why some have resorted to leaving the track short of the joint and putting in a short piece of track to bridge the joint. These are nearly always done with railjoiners to make the connection, which ...

... , so GIF format is the best option. If you keep them within 800 x 600 limits, they won't be resized on uploading and won't lose the transparent background. About 500- 600 wide is probably about right. Of course you have to be willing to waive all rights, so that anyone can use them. If I use any directly within the Templot program, I will make sure you are properly credited.

131. Printers v Plotters
... topic: 1161 Printers v Plotters posted: 7 Jul 2010 10:45 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Recently I had occasion to dust off my ancient Roland Plotter and use it. Purpose was twofold. 1) I had just run out of normal A3 paper and only had plotter paper to hand having used most of my supply for a rather large project. 2) I wanted to test it out, as I have decided to use it for other purposes, namely custom waterslide transfer and pcb production (one-offs mainly) plus it also gives me the possibility for small quantities of chemical etching. How you might ask is this possible? Well, I originally bought the thing, many moons ago to produce artwork for just that but technology overtook the need for hardcopy and I was too busy to go further with it (all pre-dates my business activity). You can get special pens for it which can be used for putting down resist, for pcbs the only problem is board thickness, standard 1.6mm is too thick so ...

I had hoped to park to co.uk on top of the com site but this is not proving possible at the moment. However both sites should be the same anyway.
