... topic: 1929 RMweb posted: 21 Apr 2012 22:30 from: roythebus It seems RMweb is down again. Has anyone got any ideas what's wrong with it this time? It's been offline since Thursday 19th April. posted: 21 Apr 2012 23:01 from: Martin Wynne roythebus wrote: It seems RMweb is down again. Has anyone got any ideas what's wrong with it this time? It's been offline since Thursday 19th April. Hi Roy, It was hacked by a protest group who stole some members' email addresses. Andy York requested the software provider IPS to upgrade the software to close the loophole which allowed that to happen. In the upgrade process the server crashed and RMweb had to be restored from a backup by the hosting provider (Jim Hale in Ohio -- also our hosting provider here for Templot Club and also for the YMR forum). That process takes several hours because RMweb is such a massive web site. Jim has completed the restore, and Andy is now waiting for IPS to complete the software upgrade. ...
... using -- both for the diamonds and for mouse-action adjustment of check rails -- is now 5 years old since it was written, and it still hasn't made it into a Pug release. I'm beginning to despair that it ever will. I've written about this problem several times before, but I'm no nearer a solution. In recent months I have been able to spend almost no time at all on program development. All my Templot time has been spent on user support, not only on here but also on RMweb and elsewhere, and in emails. I recently turned 60, and I'm getting genuinely worried that the grey cells will fail on me before I can get everything done in Templot that I want to do. Already there are areas of the code which were crystal clear when I wrote them 20 years ago, but are now getting distinctly foggy. I'm worried that in 10 years time I will have forgotten how Templot works entirely! On top of that, my health is not being helped by hour after hour sat at the ...

... around 100. Hi Jim, Have you tried signing in? I found I could sign in, search and view immediately after registering. I think it is only the posting permissions which require activation. I can see you (flubrush) in the membership list. It works. I have to confess to being so busy with my business that I have only been able to give the Internet a cursory glance over the past week or so, so I haven't been as adventurous as I might have been otherwise. Is this an RMWEB breakaway? I see a good few familiar names appearing. Jim.

Hi Jim, Well not a hostile breakaway.

... topic: 124 00-SF history and information posted: 10 Aug 2007 05:25 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, There has been a rather acrimonious discussion about 00-SF on the RMweb forum today in which my name has been mentioned. I thought I would write a few notes about the background to 00-SF. Please feel free to copy this to RMweb or the 00-SF group if you wish. I myself have manufactured hundreds of 00-SF turnouts and sold them to very satisfied customers. They weren't actually called "00-SF" at the time, I just called them "00 extra fine". Some were on plain copper-clad timbering. Some were on my milled copper-laminate timbers with raised chairing effect. They all worked just fine as advertised. What follows is my best recollection of events more than 30 years ago. After all this time I confess my memory is much less than perfect, so if anyone reading this knows different, please do say. I could probably find out ...

Martin. posted: 28 Jul 2008 17:39 from: davelong Hi Martin Thanks for posting the link, I hadn't got round to posting on here. I'll add a few more from the construction photos I have. Once again thanks for Templot. Without this I wouldn't have even attempted this kind of trackwork. The pointwork is a mixture of B6.5s and B7.5s and the tightest radii is iirc 45.7" with the highest coming in around the 85" mark. The tight knitting of the points in the sidings was only possible with handbuilt track, and doesn't actually take up that much room, which is perfect. Kind ...
... you say is a little unfocused it has a good feel. Have you written up the construction of the layout anywhere on here or any of the other forums? I'd be most interested to see more, there aren't many 3mm layouts around and I presume much of it youve built from scratch? Thanks again Kind regards Andrew Hi Andrew No write-up yet, partly because I'm a slow builder! I get side tracked by building rolling stock. Some pics have appeared in Mixed Traffic, the 3mm Society newsletter, and on RMweb. At the moment I'm forcing myself to build the cassettes for the fiddle yard, which I've been avoiding for years. Once that's done I can retest the whole of the trackwork then it's a question of finishing off the scenery. The first board (essentially the second pic) just needs scenic details, there's more to do on the shorter second board. The buildings are scratch built, the stock mainly from kits. The coaches in the second pic are a clerestory composite from Blacksmith and a toplight brake third from Worsley ...
... and pickled onions in this thread, what next my can of worms again Martin...hehe. Seriously, I've just had another look at sketchboard with Plan Y opened in it, and it fails due to it not being able to interpret the multiple individual box files making up complex junctions. See Bexhill Station Throat attachment as an example.

... knitting a jumper!!!! It would be helpful if anyone in Templot club who has used OS maps to produce a Templot to guide me gently in the right direction on what to do next? Hi Mark, You don't actually need to stitch them together. You can load each one into Templot as a separate picture shape, and then align them in Templot. Temporarily set one of them transparent and align it over the previous one(s) using the shift shape mouse action. I wrote some detailed notes on RMweb about setting up Planning Portal maps in Templot. RMweb is offline for a server move* at present, as soon as it's back I will find and post the link. For use in Templot you must save the captured images as Windows .bmp files only. *RMweb is moving into the care of Jim Hale in Ohio, who already looks after us here on Templot Club. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Feb 2010 23:17 from: Brian McK Martin advised: The good news is that I have found ...
12. RMweb down
... topic: 3751 RMweb down posted: 29 Aug 2020 07:44 from: Martin Wynne RMweb has been down for almost 24 hours now. Andy York is having a torrid time trying to get it back online after an upgrade yesterday. Being now into a bank holiday weekend, getting full IT support is difficult.

I did some snooping and used "tracert" and found that RMWeb IP address is registered in the USA and is (probably) using Cloudflare USA for hosting, however it seems that Cloudflare has recently opened a data centre in Hong Kong.

Dead easy to go to the gallery and just insert from gallery.... 479_060839_390000000.jpg posted: 6 Jun 2020 13:50 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Just to add that the posting editor on here is now about 20 years old. In that time browsers have upgraded and changed beyond recognition, and other forums such as RMweb have gone through half a dozen different posting editors. It's high time I did something to modernise Templot Club, but it's such a massive task dealing with a long-established database. I do have an unused XenForo licence -- similar to Western Thunder and Platform 1, see: http://westernthunder.co.uk http://platform1mrc.com so perhaps I should be thinking about it for Templot Club? cheers, Martin. posted: 6 Jun 2020 13:58 from: Gordon S Now I know there's no problem at ...

... from: mike47j I'm building a three throw point in 0 guage. Anyone have any tips on how to do this. Especially how to move the inner blades? Normally, I would use a thin strip if fiberglass pcb and lace pins as hinges soldered to the inner face of the rail, but there is no space to do that on the inner blades of a three throw. Mike Johnson posted: 24 Jul 2012 13:16 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mike, Richard Lambert of this parish (" dikitriki" on RMweb) wrote a detailed topic on the construction of a 3-throw in 0 gauge. Unfortunately, it was on Old RMweb which is off-line at present. It's possible he also posted it elsewhere, such as the Guild forum, so it might be worth a PM to him. If you can wait a week or two, RMweb is getting new servers in the next couple of weeks, and if all goes to plan Andy York is hoping to get Old RMweb back online for reference. regards, Martin ...

One of the new groups is for Handbuilt Track, with yours truly helping to keep it on the rails. If you are a member of RMweb, or even if not, why not take a look: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/groups/show/29-handbuilt-track-templot/ I know some of this duplicates what we already have here on Templot Club, but RMweb has a much wider membership base across the entire hobby. For some reason there are many Templot users who are not members of Templot Club, despite my best efforts to get them to join. So this is a chance to reach out to a wider audience, spread the word, learn from others, and get the ...
