... trains per se. At least I was not until now. in the last few months I have devoured all I can find on signalling systems, interlocks, etc etc etc and now your postings on the 'prototype' pages, for which I can't thank you enough- absolutely fascinating stuff. Cheers, graeme posted: 6 Nov 2019 12:18 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for that Graeme. If you haven't seen it, you might like to look at Stoke Courtenay (40+ pages -- this one is just a sample): http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/112547-stoke-courtenay/page/34/ video full screen: http://www.youtube.com/embed/9g-Qr-u8YKE?rel=0 Are you more interested in industrial grit or green and pleasant land?

... 2017 16:41 from: Stephen Freeman Err, how long before Templot can build the entire layout for you? Amazing! But please do try to get some sleep (03.45?), we need you! posted: 7 Aug 2017 17:18 from: richard_t This will save some time- brilliant addition :- D posted: 9 Sep 2017 11:52 from: John Palmer As yet I've not taken a look at the facility to calculate the size of a map screenshot, as I thought I would first sample Templot's added capability of directly importing a map from the web. My anti-virus program bitterly contested my efforts to update to 215a, but eventually my will prevailed, and I decided to test the new map importation capability at Templecombe, some way south of my last effort. Incidentally, in case it assists an understanding of my observations, I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (SP1) on a refurbished HP workstation with 3.33GHz Xeon W3680 CPU's and 12GB of Ram. The first point to make – and it ...

If you want to try on a bigger sample, copy the attached file (with change of extension!) into your equivalent of C:\Documents and Settings\graeme\Local Settings\Application Data\lazarus\jcfsettings.cfg The example you gave is always going to be a hard one because a human eye will always be able to pick out cases where fortuitous similarity of lines of code make it worth breaking the rules. In that example, the 'if' statements looked so much better continued on one line. Under these settings, that example looks like this: ...

... . I would imagine that there are 'groups' e.g. one set of values for each shoved timber, etc. Structure The data we are storing clearly has a structure (i.e a file is some header data followed by a group of templates; a template is a group of settings followed by some info strings followed by some memo strings; I would guess the settings also have some structure within them- for example the date and time on 1010/1015 are probably both related to the same thing. However, the file sample has no structure to it- it is 'flat'. I would suggest that we adopt one of the existing file formats which have been designed for storing and transmitting data such as this. This would have the benefit of familiarity to any other developers we entice to join the project and also give us tools that we can use to process the files, for example viewers which understand the structure and can present it nicely. Although there are many such formats, I believe the requirements of representing structure and being readable narrows the ...

... so it's on top of where the background picture says were the track should be placed. It could be said that I'm not even passed square one. My aim is to have a railway that sort of works like the McKinley Railway in England but not British. Mainline run by traincontroller (software also yet to be mastered) and the switching of the station done by human fumbling.

... Shapeways, Frosted Extreme Detail: 499_180818_040000000.jpg And finally a set of tweezer's for putting the keys in, Shapeways Brass "print"- plastic probably would have worked, but this was a Christmas present to myself: 499_180820_080000000.jpg It makes my 3D modelling life easier, especially with more complex chairs, to have the keys separate. posted: 18 Jan 2018 16:32 from: Tony W Hi Richard. I had suspected that the C&L rail was too wide due to wear in the die, but having recently measured some samples found the overall width correct. My suspicion now is that the foot of the rail is too deep or does not fit the profile of the cut-out for the foot as the foot depth does look slightly thicker than the earliest rail sections such as that supplied by Kings Cross Models of old. Regards Tony. posted: 18 Jan 2018 20:19 from: Trevor Walling Hello, The prints look really impressive. Just a question. Have you thought about doing a length of key section that could be cut off ...

71. Foundry Street ?
... 13:56 from: TPP I was looking here http://www.templot.com/martweb/templot.htm And I saw a reference to a plan called Foundry Street and that.... "The data file for this track plan (with some additions) is included with Templot." But I cant seem to find it- can you tell me where I should be looking please Last edited on 11 Feb 2015 13:56 by TPP posted: 11 Feb 2015 14:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, Several sample track plans were included with the old paid-for versions of Templot. They all go back 15 years to the early days of Templot -- I intended to update them for Templot2 but I have never quite got round to it. I will find the Foundry Street file, see if it needs any updating, and post it here shortly. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Feb 2015 14:43 from: TPP Thanks for the reply Martin No rush at all I am just curious to take a look if ...
... as via the internet, but looking for what is called a "retail experience" This being born out by yesterdays First Sport Group's purchase of the House of Fraser What has this got to do with track parts, well its just as important it seems as well as having a good internet/mail order proposition to have a physical presence where prospective customers can pick up and feel the item as well as see it. May not apply to track parts, to any great extent. With track it pays to actually buy a sample and try it out, say by building a bit of test track. As regards looks, there are plenty of pics around showing the stuff. What may be a more valuable bit of experience is seeing layouts where it has actually been used. A lot of us can't get to shows, so the above is possibly the only way.

... , and twist angle. (Rectangular structures such as a signal box or goods shed can also be represented this way.) If you prefer to create a detailed baseboard design with all the cross bearers and carpentry details, etc., the way to do that is to use the background picture shapes -- preferably using a metafile image. Most CAD programs can save files in WMF or EMF metafile format. It's an ancient Windows vector file format, largely forgotten, but extremely useful in equally ancient Templot. This is a sample WMF file from TurboCAD, loaded into a picture shape: 2_061223_110000000.png The great advantage of a metafile is that it can be zoomed to any size and still remain as crisp lines: 2_061229_300000000.png A metafile is a small file and has almost no impact of the panning and zooming response on the trackpad. Using a CAD program or other drawing package, you can create it to any level of detail you wish. CAD programs can also export baseboard designs as a DXF file, which can be imported directly into the background shapes. ...

Playing about with the options, it seems the grey colour scheme and with a transparent image option selected causes this affect. Trust me to settle on that combination. Hi Richard, I'm not seeing any difference between those two samples (apart from the colours, of course), so I'm not too clear what your issue is? The transparency effect in Templot does not use an alpha channel, as when image files are actually created transparent. The transparency effect is achieved by the way the image interacts with the background when it is displayed on the screen. Hence the strange coloured fringes, but the actual resolution and usefulness as a planning guide is not affected. The advantage of doing it that way is that it can be turned on and off ...
... didn't you elaborate in the first place? It just wastes my time if folks ask questions without giving me all the information. I thought your question was about the amount of prototype data associated with each setting in the gauge list, not how to change from one gauge setting to another. To retain customized prototype information when changing gauge/scale: 1. for background templates, click the convert group button. 2. to change the control template, click the match original option and then click OK. 2_010609_500000000.png There is a sample .box file of USA-style turnouts available for downloading from: topic 1335 It's an old file, and may need changing to match a specific prototype. cheers, Martin. posted: 1 Nov 2018 19:09 from: Phil O Rob Manchester wrote: Hi Martin, Thanks for the US railroad link suggestions.

... Welcome to Templot Club. Templot can be used to create set-track style templates if you wish, and they can be used in creating a Templot track plan. You would be using only a fraction of the capabilities of Templot, but it is a tool to be used in any way you wish. Most users of commercial track prefer to use programs designed for the purpose, such as AnyRail: http://www.anyrail.com although unlike Templot they don't usually allow for the chopping down of fixed pointwork. There are some sample Peco Streamline 00/H0 templates available for downloading from: topic 294 peco_00h0.png Sorry I don't have any info about the geometry of N gauge set-track pointwork -- you would need to create custom turnouts from it. Someone may have a already done so, and be willing to share the Templot .box files. Anyone? cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Jan 2019 14:17 from: Bill Adlington Matrin, yeah I tried anyrail and realised it needed a whole set of new learning curves and that i don't ...

... the actual distance, calculate the scale of the old map. You can then work out the reduction/enlargement needed for the old map. This is good enough for model work but strictly as the map projection of the old County series maps and modern maps is slightly different you can't use this if you are planning a new road! regards Alan Last edited on 29 Oct 2014 11:30 by Alan Turner posted: 29 Oct 2014 16:16 from: DerekStuart Hi Alan That's just what I did- I took a sample point of about 900 ft and scaled the imported old-maps at a bizarre 1106.226. Being drawn in 1928, whilst I am sure that the larger parts- such as the distance from turnout A to bridge B 1/4 mile away are going to be accurate, the individual buildings are not going to be too clever compared to modern satellite/aerial photography. Oddly btw, bing and google disagree on scale, but I've gone for bing because it zooms in further and has a more clearly marked scale. BTW ...

Regards Peter Price Hi, I've nearly finished a boxfile which should help but I've had to break off until tomorrow- 345mm should be OK posted: 24 Sep 2009 09:43 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, The attached boxfile (0.91c) should help. It might need a bit of amendment but should provide a basis to build from. Please bear in mind that if you want the geometry to match Peco, then something else is needed but then that goes for the C&L ones too. There are some sample boxfiles lurking here around for Peco which Martin has done, which would provide a basis to start from if that is necessary.
