... overhangs drooping. Regards. Trevor. posted: 11 Aug 2015 11:10 from: Les G You are correct: Lower viscosity= stiffer; higher viscosity= more free flowing. Higher temperature makes the plastic more liquid, and more likely to droop. This is why temperature and filament feed speed are controlled. Hence my query about extruder temperature for successful bridging. Les G Last edited on 11 Aug 2015 11:18 by Les G posted: 12 Aug 2015 01:32 from: Andrew Barrowman Ah yes! This sample is OO gauge- I should have mentioned that. Thanks Martin. I'm using the cheapest printer I could find a couple of years ago, a Printrbot Simple. The unsupported overhang issue does not present a problem for me, and I'm able to get very consistent dimension and gauge results. At the moment I'm working on optimizing the chair designs for turnouts and finding the method that allows me to generate a turnout with the least effort. I'll post the results when I have something I'm satisfied with. BTW, I'm printing ...
... RAIL HEAD DIMENSIONS It's perhaps not the most straightforward area, bearing in mind the variation of railhead dimensions across Suppliers (and possibly between batches of Rail from the same supplier) and also because of the possibility of cross-supply between suppliers (see below).

... 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. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f8fcff"Hi Martin, First let me say, that I think it is an excellent idea to create a library of shapes for your program Notebook, and I am willing to help in anyway I can. I have attached a sample GIF file of a fictitious water tank scaled at 4mm to 1 foot, that I knocked up last evening. This is not of anywhere in particular, but is just to show you what can be done in a simple drawing package. I will also post a sample of the same building but in Bitmap format, so that you can see just how much colour and detail is lost using GIF format. I can if you wish do such drawings for the group, but would need to be given appropriate line drawings, ...
... may feel that you would rather provide your own music, thanks all the same. But of course the main thing is to add some voice commentary, once I have got the audio quality, file size and volume levels sorted out. This is all new to me. regards, Martin. Martin, When adding your voice-over, see if your software will accept mono instead of stereo. That will half your sound file size. Also, I don't know if it is possible with your software to adjust the sound sample rate and bit rate. You might find that if you can drop to 24K sample rate with 8 bit sample size, this will give reasonable speech quality with further large reductions in audio file size. I think I prefer my own choice of background music- but it's nowhere near as bad as the Home of 0 Gauge web site of not so fond memory.

... Shapeways to get stuff printed using the SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) process? At work we have lots of low volume plastics made which suits us wonderfully, and the finish is a lot better than anything I've seen using extruded plastic. Although I use a "professional" printing company for most stuff, I'll also use Shapeways- they're mainly a hobbyist company. It's got to be cheaper than buying a printer if you just want track bases for a layout or two! Hi Paul, I have used Shapeways. The SLS samples I have are not detailed enough. I can do better with my $230 filament printer. To get better resolution you have to use Shapeways resin but it is fragile and quite expensive. There are examples in the "3D Printed Track and Turnouts" thread. Then there's the turnaround time. If you have to make some adjustments to a model it can take several weeks to get to the final article.

... topic: 292 Mixed-gauge crossover in Samples and examples section posted: 24 Dec 2007 17:15 from: Paul Boyd I did try to reply through the forum, but got blocked. I was asked to log in, despite being told I was logged in at the top of the screen so couldn't go any further! Anyway, much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, that crossover isn't technically correct! A broad/narrow gauge crossover has the narrow gauge swapping sides so that a narrow gauge train will still be against the platform face on either track. MRJ issue 1, pages 36& 37 show the correct layout, and I suspect I have a new Christmas project (I just happen to be playing with mixed-gauge track in Templot at the moment- standard and 3ft 6in) Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ posted: 24 Dec 2007 17:42 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote: I did try to reply through the forum, but got blocked.

... especially since it's free. I used Delphi to write software to run the core of my business and it was so much easier to use than the competition- C++ at the time- and so much faster to compile. I could do almost interactive coding by writing a few lines, then compile and debug to see if they worked. With other compilers you could have a cup of tea while waiting for the compiled output.

... topic: 298 Irregular diamonds posted: 2 Jan 2008 07:19 from: John Watt This topic is obsolete. Irregular diamond-crossings are now fully supported in Templot2. Re: Double Slips and Switch-Diamonds It would be nice if a date for when these could be available were known as I am going to need them fairly shortly for Princes Risborough. There was a copy of the track plan lodged on Templot about a year ago showing them. I also clicked on the samples links and got just a page of letters and characters. Something I've missed?

... , You can only do your best as age progresses. I seriously think you need to let things go as they become a pain due to memory or shaky hands etc. I tend to mess more things up as a steady hand is not a given for me any more. That and glasses can be a right pain. Regards.

One of the templates I am working on is the old classic 3-throw.The LH turnout forms the main template size a V5 turnout, which I copied and swapped to a RH and placed this to the right of the first turnout so the two V's were aligned vertically. All good so far, and with your help yesterday I was able to crop and place the 3rd Frog from a Y to work with the other two. At this point I realised the tie bar and blades of the RH needed to be ...

13. 0-16.5 turnout
... and method of building would be greatly appreciated Attachment: attach_2789_3368_0-16,5_A4.5.box 197 posted: 19 Dec 2018 11:56 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, Don't use REA switches for narrow-gauge. You will get a shorter turnout with an easier radius using the straight switches. Try changing to a 9ft switch for your turnout instead of "A" -- template> switch settings... menu item, top of list. Or save even more space by creating a shorter custom switch. There are some sample 0-16.5 (0n30) templates available for downloading here: topic 28 Also some templates matching the Peco 0-16.5 turnouts can be downloaded here: topic 2526 cheers, Martin. posted: 19 Dec 2018 17:32 from: Hayfield Martin Thanks for the quick response, I am not necessarily looking for a direct replacement for a Peco turnout. I will print off a sample narrow gauge turnout and compare it with the one I have produced, also I will have a go with a 9' switch posted: ...
... (non turnout or diamond crossings) the width would be 10". For turnouts and diamonds etc, they would be 12" in width. Again the railway companies would try to construct their formations using the cheapest methods, bearing in mind the security and safety of the formation, hence the use of a mixture of 10" and 12" width timbers of varying lengths. It would be of interest, to know what prototype railway company you are attempting to model, and the period. I will try and complete the sample version of your formation as soon as I can. All the best, Brian. posted: 24 Mar 2014 01:03 from: allanferguson The Scottish companies generally, and some of the less wealthy English companies, being mean, almost never used timbers longer than 9' (based on our inability to find any in photographs). I say this having looked at a lot of photographs! But there aren't many pictures of complex trackwork in the pre-grouping period, so we can't say never, only probably never ...
... exactly what I am trying to do but in 15" Gauge and it is driving me completely potty. I have no doubt that Templot will do everything that I need but I just can't get it to do it. Very frustrating. Mike Hi Mike, I have just seen your posting, and as Martin has stated and having looked at your web site, your little railway is a delight. I just thought I would try a 15 inch gauge turnout something along the lines of your box file, and have generated a sample along the lines of a 1:6 Turnout using a loose heel 9ft switch. (see attached box file). The sample is just a trail, since I have no information on your gauge permanent way specs, and details such as the profile of your 25 lb new rail, all of which is required to create the correct templates. Regarding this detail, I had to make some assumptions in order to get the turnout to look something near to the requirement. If I can help in anyway regarding Templot templates ...

... that I found an old template with the required timbering and converted it to plain track, without considering the consequences of converting it back to a turnout. Normally when using Templot, after doing insert turnout in plain track the next action is to change the inserted turnout to the one required for the actual location. It's not often that you will want to use the inserted turnout exactly as-is. However, you should be able to do so if you wish. I need to be more careful about checking this in any sample plain track files I create in future. There are two sizes of US-style switches in the above file, 11ft and 16ft-6in (made from a third and a half of a 33ft rail, historically). Please note that these are generic examples -- they don't represent any specific American prototype, and I don't know how closely they match the Proto87 and Fast Tracks templates. You can of course create custom switches in Templot matching those or any other prototype if you have the data to hand. I ...
18. Questions on the basic fundamentals on prototype (and scale model) turnout dimensions and design met
... turnout end, this in turn resulted in the whole turnout road going off track (forgive the pun !) and causing, in some cases, the adjacent track-work to be too close for comfort, or the turnout road to collide with track-side objects. All of this is, of course, brought about by the very tight confines of the station as a whole, and not much room for manoeuvre or compromise as one would hope. I attach a bitmap image file, New_Street_Station_1921_Sample_par tA.bmp, which is a sample of the New Street plan covering the same section I placed in the previous PDF file, sent in my last message, hope you find it helpful. Again, many thanks indeed Martin for your very informative message. Kindest regards, Brian Nicholls.

... topic: 1335 USA-style templates posted: 13 Jan 2011 13:58 from: Martin Wynne Some sample USA-style turnout templates in H0. These are generic templates based on typical USA practice and not representative of any specific prototype: h0_usa_turnouts.png This file is not suitable for Templot version 074b -- please upgrade to Templot2. Download from: sample USA-style H0 templates (Right-click and "Save Target/Link As...") These are #5 and #8 turnouts, using custom 11ft-0in and 16ft-6in switches (points) respectively. edit for Templot2 -- when printed, or exported as a PDF file, these templates will now show the rail-foot edges for flat-bottom rail. Using the F5 mouse action the turnouts can be adjusted to any other size. But because the switches are custom sizes they won't change automatically to match the V-crossing (frog) angle. Take care therefore to create only sensible combinations of switch size and V-crossing (frog) angle ...

In the end you might have something actually usable on your layout... cheers, Martin. posted: 16 Feb 2020 23:19 from: DerekStuart Thanks Martin I've learned a fair bit of lower level languages- VBA, Commodore basic, even html, by reverse engineering. A crude way of just deleting random lines to see what stops working. But all the available sample code is either terribly simple or terribly complex... or just terrible. I guess you mean the bricks being drawn dynamically as opposed to detailing the size and 0,0 point of each one. Ie "draw a brick x pixels wide, draw second brick at x+ 1 pixel and then draw..." I think I could work out how to do that, but not how to control when it comes to the end of the window. I shall experiment and let you know when I've achieved ...
