... . Unfortunately there is so much detail in the chairs that the file was enormous and Shapeways couldn't handle it. I will have to make them a bit less detailed. I think it's mainly caused by all the fillets. They do make the rendering look very pretty but they are probably invisible when printed at 1:76 anyway, so off they come. Regards, ab posted: 1 Aug 2017 03:06 from: Andrew Barrowman I simplified the three bolt chairs and ordered samples in both sintered nylon and FUD (Frosted Ultra Detail) for comparison. I'll also print some in PLA on my printer. Here's the rendering: 2983_312156_480000000.jpg posted: 1 Aug 2017 03:55 from: Martin Wynne That's looking very good Andy.

Hi Rob, You are not supposed to do that. The Loctite data sheets say that sealed UNopened bottles should be stored in the fridge for maximum shelf-life. But after opening they should not be stored in the fridge. It is moisture which sets them, they need to be kept somewhere ultra-dry. "Not damaged by freezing in the unopened container. Optimal shelf life is achieved when unopened container is stored from 36 F to 46 F (2 C to 8 C). After opening, it is not recommended that the product be stored cold or frozen. Once opened, the product is best stored tightly sealed in a dry location away from heat sources or sun exposure. Humidity and high temperatures may decrease shelf life." Admittedly, I've found that they set solid regardless, especially the thin non ...
... well packaged and came with its own little carry sleeve. I set about configuring it to dual boot. Predominately I use the Linux side for mail and web etc. and then when not plugged into net I switch to Windows to run Templot. This way I don't have to worry about constant updates to system and virus apps etc. On looking on the forums I also found that some have configured the little one to run OS X so that is something I will look into as that would be really cool to have an Ultra Portable Mac Laptop. Moving on to the operation of the eeePC. As it is all solid state the boot up time is very quick compared to my old Vaio, in fact it takes around 20secs from power on to ready to use. Models come with 1Gb RAM memory but again looking on the forums you can upgrade to 2Gb but this is not for the faint hearted! And SSD size is 4Gb and then then 16Gb on a memory card. Although advertised as having silent operation the fan does kick in after some ...
... happy to help with matters relating to the program functions and railway track, but if it won't run on your computer that is your problem, not mine. All that having been said, I'm convinced that the problems are related to anti-virus software. Here is something I wrote earlier this year when similar problems cropped up with 214b (all eventually resolved by fixing anti-virus settings): "Windows 10 comes with its own anti-virus program called Windows Defender. It may not be the most all-singing ultra powerful anti-virus program, but it deals with all common threats and 99% of the rest -- with the great advantage that it "just works" in the background. No endless pop-up messages, no nagging requests for subscriptions, no noticeable effect on system performance. Unless you are in the habit of visiting dodgy web sites, Windows Defender seems to be all that a sensible user needs. It is all I'm using on my Windows 10 system and I have had no problems after a couple of ...
... Also, I in no way hold you responsible for this issue simply because you created the file originally, it should have been up to me to ask how it worked (inserting into plain track) before rushing off to get my plan done. Cheers Bruce posted: 25 Feb 2011 12:40 from: BruceNordstrand Ok, I just checked a printed version of my turnout changed as per your instruction and rail wise, including throwbar, it is an exact match for the turnout template available on the proto87 website which I am ultra happy about. Not true however for a #6 template from Fastracks, theirs are out on both Templot and proto87 but that is by the by. Now, if I can just figure out how to customise the timbering to my specs and spacing I will be more than a happy man. I want to replicate proto87's tie (timber in English speak) layout so if I decide to use one of Andy's cool jigs it all matches. Cheers Bruce posted: 25 Feb 2011 13:34 from: BruceNordstrand Well, ...
... (37.8" approx) radius. The diamond-crossing at B is on 1105mm (43.5") radius. The turnouts are B-8s and the minimum radius at A is 910mm (35.8"). At these radii I strongly advise that you don't build 1:8 diamonds with fixed K-crossings. Even in P4 it would be living dangerously. With the wider flangeways of 00 and EM I think derailments and mis-trackings are inevitable. Build them as switch-diamonds instead -- it's easier and ultra-reliable because the wheels don't see any break in the rails. I've made them switch-diamonds (movable K-crossings) on the plan -- both blades are shown in the closed position of course, as on the turnout templates. Given the likely total cost of this project I feel sure that you can run to the 4 extra point-motors needed (or maybe only 2 if you devise suitable rocker crank linkages). It will be money well-spent to avoid derailments on these junctions. The ...

If you end up with the red padlock showing, possibly from a link in an email or an old topic, you can swap to yellow by clicking the top picture on the page, or by clicking the Recent Topics buttons. I've just made a few changes so that the Companion is also yellow. A complete conversion of the entire site to fully secure, and with all old links still working, is a major task. Given that there is nothing on here which needs to be ultra-secure, I will leave that for another day. cheers, Martin. posted: 4 Jun 2020 21:42 from: polybear Hi Martin, That's excellent- new bookmark duly sorted, and now the "Change Password" page is coming up as secure Many thanks Brian Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... ' are just visible. Now I need to undo the shortening of the control template, and the removal of the crossing rail, until it is back to how it was before I did those things. The easy way to do that is to click the blue left arrow a few times[ undo changes], or SHIFT+ CTRL+ ROLL the mouse wheel back, until you find the control template which you are looking for. If you don't feel happy relying on the 80-slot rollback register, you could be ultra-cautious and park a copy of the control template in the[ do> parking bay] before making those changes. Or you could use the the[ do> omit rails and joint marks...] function again to restore the missing rail. I found this description a little difficult to grasp what and why you were explaining. I think you've chosen this 'method' as a way of introducing the 'undo' functionality as well as a chance to mention the 'parking bay'. I guess there are lots of ...

... Ariels Girdle Interestingly Panda antivirus has just treated Templot as a virus after accepting it for a very long time. I found the quarantined file and reinstated it. Everything seems fine now. Maybe Kaspersky has a similar quarantine folder enabling you to restore and accept the risk on Templot? posted: 24 Feb 2017 19:28 from: Martin Wynne Hi Patrick, Do you really need Kaspersky on Windows 10?

... possible. Dave On my GWR layout I use 3-bolt chairs. Because that is all that's available in 3mm/ft. Does it worry me? No Nigel posted: 8 Apr 2017 16:35 from: Hayfield dave turner wrote: At the risk of being totally castigated. Is there really a problem if one's model is not truly prototypical. Martin's superb program can be all things to all men and why not? It's your own choice and Martin has made it possible. Dave Dave I think even in the ultra fine scales there are compromises, it is really down to the individual how detailed they want to go. If you are like Nigel in 3 mm scale and the only chairs available are 3 bolt, then that's all you can use However if you model in one of the 4 mm gauges, then you not only have five (including ST flat bottom chairs) different types of standard chair within the C&L and Exactoscale but also a range of special chairs for both turnouts and crossings.

... with one side having a self adhesive backing. The adhesive side will bond to the baseboards and I'll probably use aerosol carpet adhesive to stick the track down, with diluted latex adhesive used for ballasting. Two lengths of track on EPDM rubber and neoprene rubber were left outside for just over a week during the summer to assess durability to the elements, and neither the adhesive backed EPDM rubber or Neoprene rubber lifted and the carpet adhesive holding the track down didn't fail either.EPDM rubber has excellent resistance to fresh and sea water, oxidation, ultra violet, ozone, aging and weathering.

... Matt M. HI Martin, 15" Retina MacBook Pro (220 ppi) using Windows 7 in Bootcamp. I believe that the display drivers in Bootcamp allow for the grouped 4 pixels used in Retina with the fuzzy results if not allowed for. Particularly with raster images. Can always throw across to older big display. I'll let you know how it goes when I get a chance. Matt M. posted: 28 Oct 2014 14:31 from: Charles Orr Hi Martin, For the record I've just started using an ultra-wide (34" LG UM95 on displayport) monitor. The screen resolution is 3440 x 1440. Templot displays beautifully on this monitor- the definition is breath taking. I've not had to change any of the Windows 7 screen dpi settings for this new monitor. I'll let you know what happens with the new version of Templot.

Alan posted: 2 Mar 2012 11:32 from: JFS Ewerthon Mota wrote: To have a main line in a layout that can keep a Eurostar running to a scale 330kph what would be the minimum radius? For me the answer is very simple- if you want scale trains running at scale speeds then you need scale track- so just model the real thing reduced in scale!! And one thing is for sure- you won't be able to build a "Scale" ultra high speed turnout in 00- unles someone can prove they have already done it? Oh and by the way, not even the real thing runs through diverging junctions at 330kph! Best Wishes.

The way you are doing it is the way I do it, and every time I think to myself "this is no good, it needs something better". Pegging an entire group isn't something you do very often, so it doesn't need to be ultra-slick. But I agree the present function is frustratingly cumbersome. In 074b there was a function to swap the peg on a background template to the opposite end, but it seems to have got lost in 091c. Even then it was a nuisance to remember to do it first. I will add a sub-menu to put the notch under any peg position on a background template, similar to the existing sub-menu on snap the control template onto background template. Thanks Paul for giving me a prod. ...

Hi Stephen, It's because you have overlapping blocks with absolute positioning. One block was obscuring part of the other and capturing the mouse messages.
