... topic: 509 Help required with a double slip posted: 2 Aug 2008 04:02 from: Martyn Grainger Harrison I've got so far with making a d/slip, but have got myself rather confused. I have attached what I have done so far. Any help with the next stage would be most appreciated! I know it looks a little untidy, but thought I would ask anyway. Many thanks Martyn Harrison In the very wet Scottish Borders! Last edited on 2 Aug 2008 08:55 by Martin Wynne posted: 2 Aug 2008 08:54 from: Martin Wynne IMPORTANT Hi Martyn, Your .box file is seriously corrupted, and will cause Templot to crash. The data for several templates has been replaced with what seems to be a list of GWR signal boxes??? So I've removed it from your message here on Templot Club. I will post a cleaned-up version later. At present I don't know whether this corruption occurred before you posted it, or while uploading it from your system, or within the Templot ...

... Paul,I agree with you that it is an excellent tool. However, my main concern was that all files in the last selected folder loaded, even though that was not the folder I wanted to see. Additionally most of the time I only need to see the contents of an individual file, so why load everything in a folder. The time isn't really the issue just perhaps the unnecessary use of resources. I agree it's a hobby and I think you will see from my correspondence I have the utmost respect for Martyn. My comments are merely my view of the implementation, no criticism is implied, after all we are doing the easy bit.

... topic: 2335 Are there any Templot users in West Sussex? posted: 15 Oct 2013 10:37 from: MartynS Hi Chaps, I have been struggling with Templot for quite a while now, and although I do not like to give in easily I have to admit" I give up". So I was wondering if there are any local Temploters out there who could help me get back on track( pardon the pun ), I live close to Chichester but do not know of any like minded souls. Kind regards, Martyn. posted: 15 Oct 2013 14:48 from: Raymond I am in East Sussex but if you are not to far away would be happy to help.

This doesn't actually print the screen, it simply copies it onto the Windows clipboard. Now start your image editing program such as PaintShopPro, or Windows Paint. Click the ...

... topic: 431 Wantage Scan& Plan posted: 10 May 2008 14:48 from: Martyn Grainger Harrison Thanks to Martin for explaining how to save a "scan and plan" image Having never really played with Templot to produce something useful, I sat down and spent yesterday afternoon with a scan of Iain Rices' plan of Wantage. I very soon discovered that there were one or two seemingly impossible bits of formation, however I have produced something that may be workable. I have altered slightly the alignment and length of a couple of sidings, but nothing too drastic. See what you think of the attached. Oh, by the way I won't be building Wantage as such, but using the track plan and architecture from North Worcestershire to create the Belbroughton Tramway. Locos will be from High Level Models.

... actually load such a file into the storage box. It thinks it's in the old pre-0.45 format and complains about the info file being missing, but loads the data part anyway. It's very likely that if you go anywhere near the storage box, Templot will throw a wobbly and crash. But if you stay on the pad area and store templates, they will actually go into the storage box, and you can save the resulting file directly from the pad. The result is a file similar to the one which Martyn posted -- a corrupted .box file containing a mix of SignalBox data and Templot data. Which you could reload and continue using several times, but the end result is inevitable -- Templot will crash at some stage and you will lose your work because there is no valid file containing it.____ So this leads to a couple of important warnings: 1. If you download or get given .box files from anywhere, you shouldn't assume that they are clean Templot data files, just because they appear to ...
... topic: 2294 Bending a track plan posted: 24 Aug 2013 17:49 from: GreenBoy Martyn I have seen the post you made at RMWeb about bending a prototype track plan to fit a smaller space, and this seems a great idea...

... . One could make the fit of rail in chair a bit looser as per prototype; the easiest way of doing this may be to thin down the profile of the rail slightly. I'd suggest the builder does simple experiment to see if it would work in his case. Nigel, Many thanks for that suggestion. I reckon that would work well- as you have proved. The builder is also a Templot owner so he might even be reading this thread. Jim. posted: 7 Apr 2012 07:43 from: MartynS Hi Nigel and Jim, Yes it is me ,with reference to the idea above my thoughts were similar but to use a cast chair with a hole drilled under the chair and then to locate on to a spigot drilled into the sleeper or to drill and solder a piece of 0.7mm nickel silver rod under the chair and then a locating hole in the sleeper. Hope this makes sense Martyn. posted: 10 Apr 2012 14:58 from: Stephen Freeman Interestingly enough I have just built one of these in 0- ...
... . Here I have reduced the number to 6 long timbers instead of 11 in your plan, set the vee rails to span 5 timbers as you wanted, and closed up the timbers at the joints (1 :7 wide crossover, 9ft sleepers): 2_210922_240000000.png You could argue that only 4 long timbers would have been enough, although the GWR did tend to use more than most companies. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Apr 2010 14:57 from: David Hiya guys Thanks for your replies.... Martyn, thanks for your diagram, its very helpful. I think the reason I had used so many extended timbers was because the crossing is slighty wider apart than the normal 6' way, i think its called. I shall see how many I can get it down too. I am modelling the GWR. Many thx.... Gr8 program by the way be lost with out it....

... topic: 314 Using gimp on turnouts posted: 15 Jan 2008 05:07 from: Adrian Following on from the post on Point rodding pics topic 169 I have been trialing the use of gimp to work out the geometry, so far with mixed sucess but I think I started at the deep end! So just reporting on progress. As a reminder the starting point! Attachment: attach_210_314_3way.jpg 315 posted: 15 Jan 2008 05:13 from: Adrian I then used the shear and perspective tools in gimp as detailed by Martyn. It worked quite easily to get something that looked right. Unfortunately when loaded as a background shape in Templot it was difficult to get anything matching. I then realised that despite being careful on the use of the perspective tool I had mis-judged it slightly so I was getting gauge widening through the turnout. If I set the approach road to the right gauge then it'd be 8% to 10% out at the crossing. So now I use the measure tool in gimp to check the gauge is constant through ...
... topic: 3093 Creating 1990s Flat-Bottomed rail with concrete sleepers posted: 5 Oct 2017 01:55 from: Richie Kynaston Hi All,Thanks to Martyn for adding me to the forum. I'm just getting back into model railways after a fair few years away, just involved with the big railway instead! I'm going to be modelling EM gauge with hand-built track and turnouts using EMGS Code 83 flat-bottomed rail. My plan is to use Colin Craig's components (such as the Pan11 baseplate) on the scenic section to replicate a small part of the electrified WCML in the 1990s. While emailing Colin he mentioned that a things such as interlaced sleepers are a big no-no for concrete sleeped track, which brings me to my question. Hidden fiddle yard track will be copperclad so it doesn't really matter what standard i use for that I guess! How can I get Templot to model the layout and produce the templates based around Code 83 flat bottomed rail on concrete sleepers? What do I need to changed, and indeed, ...

... Adrian Followed by the LH turnout. Attachment: attach_205_3way3.png 1526 posted: 12 Jan 2008 06:54 from: Adrian Finally without the timbering, so a reasonable match but a few inconsistancies. So feedback time. It was surprisingly quick to achieve a reasonable match, better than I originally though I would due to the position of the photographer. Your examples have more of a birds eye view and I did think I'd struggle with the shot being low level. Still I think I've managed to match reasonably, although I dare say Martyn could improve on it. Am I happy with the result? Actually no, I think I've stretched the length too much, printing off the template it doesn't seem to have quite the same sharp angles as the photo. The templete just doesn't look right to me at the moment. I think I'll come back to it another night and shorten the image a bit and try to match it again. Overall I think the process works very well and I will definitely be using it again. The main problem I had was ...
... topic: 2045 Grouped templates posted: 25 Aug 2012 08:47 from: dickc Good Morning All, I know how to swap end to end the control template using CTRL-N but how can I do the same with grouped templates please? I have looked through the Keyboard Shortcuts info on the Help Menu without success. By the way Martyn, just for the record, the Function Key Chart shows CTRL-F10 as SWELL which works fine for me and F10 as K ANGLE which doesn't (my problem, nothing to do with Templot) but the Keyboard Shortcuts list shows CTRL-F10 as ZOOM and F10 as SWELL Regards, Dick posted: 25 Aug 2012 12:35 from: Martin Wynne dickc wrote: I know how to swap end to end the control template using CTRL-N but how can I do the same with grouped templates please?

... too critical provided it is not less than 16.2mm. The AMRA H0-SF dimensions are slightly different from 00-SF but not by much. However, it does not provide clamping, or even any fixed slot, for the check rails -- for the much more important 15.2mm check gauge dimension. Also the gauge is drawn symmetrical, making no allowance for gauge-widening. For the crossing flangeway, a 1.0mm shim is much easier to use during construction than a roller-type gauge. regards, Martin. Hello Martyn, I have built many turnouts of various geometries using 3 AMRA gauges. The result is trackwork that does not need any adjustment for derailment free results. Similar to the shim method, there is no need to have the rail held held in a slot, as the gauges check gauge is correctly sized(>15.2mm) when the check rail is pushed against the gauge. When positioning the check rail I use 2 AMRA gauges. Having a symmetrical gauge means the user cannot use the gauge the wrong way around and is ...
