Here is a crop from your original upload to the image gallery: 2_250705_180000000.png If that is a true representation of what you are seeing, I honestly don't know how you can watch it for long. I couldn't without getting a headache. Why not reduce it to the intended 1024 pixels width? It would be much nicer to look at. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Oct 2017 12:16 from: madscientist As an aside can you configure your MP4 encoder for lossless( QP =0) operation. ffmpeg etc can do this posted: 25 Oct 2017 12:20 from: madscientist I find it absolutely fine on the mini iPad zoom to screen extent, the iPad mini is too small to watch it smaller Your overlay text is sharp ,templot menus are sharp and the track is slightly fuzzy, but nothing that detracts from the excercise Are your sure your encoding at the highest bitrate and QP setting your MP4 encoder is capable of.

... topic: 2452 GOG-F slip crossover for Steve Rowe posted: 6 May 2014 13:57 from: Martin Wynne Hi Steve, Here is your curved 1:8 slip crossover on 28700mm outer radius. I have done it in GOG-F 32mm as requested but you would get much better running, especially through the K-crossings, if you changed to 0-MF 31.5mm gauge. Excellent roller gauges are available from Debs of this parish. If you decide to change, do not use this template, ask me to create one for 0-MF. Diamonds and slips must be built on a template accurate to the gauge being used, because it changes the distance between the V-crossings. The PDF file attached below is for home printing on 5 sheets of A4 paper. Make sure you change to "no scaling, 100%" in your PDF reader program. You can check the accuracy by measuring the 150mm grid squares. Trim the pages to the red lines to fit them together. For best results use paper ...
183. Outside single slip
... build, but only enough to get the flange-way required. As far as tightening the radius of the slip, I did juggle with this for ages so that I could get the longest wing rails for the crossings and check rails on the K-crossing. The resulting track work is to be used for an industrial type location where only 4 wheeled wagons and short wheelbase locomotives will be used. I am hoping the largest loco will be a Terrier or a P class, if they won't fit I will stick to 0-4 -0 tank locos. Mmmmm... that reminds me, I ought to go and look at the new Hattons Barclay! Cheers, Bryan. posted: 18 Oct 2017 15:02 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, You can adjust the check and wing rails much shorter than you have there. The trick is to shorten the flare length first, so that the rail length can then be shortened without losing the checking function. This is the absolute minimum Templot allows for a wing rail: 2_180947_240000000.png ...
... one as such. For printing, if you select each relevant partial template (it turns white) then press G, it turns red. Do that until you have all the templates you want and then go to OUTPUT at the top and select PRINT GROUP TEMPLATES ONLY. If the page origin is too far from your templates you might have to accept/skip some blank pages until it gets to your template (it's self explanatory when you see it). Or alternatively there's an option to reset the page origin (the 0,0 co-ordinates- the little green blob) which you can put near your template. Sorry I can't look at your box file as Templot isn't on the works laptop, but it *appears* that you have placed the two turnouts very close together- are you sure there are no clashes or did you intend to design a three-way (three-throw)? posted: 3 Nov 2017 20:37 from: Richie Kynaston Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply- I'll have a look at ...
... nor can I think of any reason to do it. Are you sure it was me? Can you provide the RMweb link? Yes I know about the 25" mapping of England& Wales on the NLS web site. They started at the south coast working northwards and have currently reached a line roughly from Bristol to Hull, see: http://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/index.cfm#zoom=8 &lat=53.0040&lon=-2.0724&layers=64&b =1 &point=0 ,0 Unlike the old-maps.co.uk site, it is all free and without watermarks. Also the scanning resolution seems to be better, which is significant when zooming in on them for use in Templot. When the scans are integrated into their seamless georeferenced system, you can cross-fade from historic to present-day mapping, making a wonderful resource for track planning and scaling. See this bit of video which I made a few months ago: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=8Du_Kizucpvgbsfe2rGw4g2 regards, ...
... a boxfile of ho US templates, I thought that perhaps converting to O NMRA would carry over the timbering but no. As for the error code, I cannot really help as I had been doing quite a lot of things prior to it happening. The.machine has 16Gb of RAM so it must be the program somehow. I will have another go today, all else fails I do have a non-Templot solution available to me. I have now located another boxfile for HO and have successfully converted the template I need to 0-NMRA, having remembered to engage brain and select the "match original" option.

... Martin's shoulder it would be a blur of key strokes :-) I hope this is of some assistance. posted: 27 Feb 2018 15:55 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Mark. I don't know if you have seen this page? I have posted the link a few times: http://templot.com/martweb/templot_history.htm Written in 1999 when Templot was first released for others to use. Although Templot never was "released" in the usual sense. I first showed the Windows version in development at the Gauge 0 Guild's annual exhibition at Telford in 1998, to see if there was enough interest to warrant spending more time on it. After that I received occasional emails asking when it would be ready and if a pre-release version was available. At first I said no, but eventually gave in and starting supplying early versions (on floppy disk) to anyone who asked, from about August 1999. It never did get a formal launch with a press release, advertising, etc. Looking through some old correspondence recently I came ...
190. Straight Switches
... , with the consequence that the NB 12' heel plated switch is all you ever see. As can be seen in the picture in your link, the GW loose heel switches receive additional restraint from the attached rods that pass through slots in the adjacent stock rail. I think this feature may be unique to the GWR. Almost completely off topic, I happened across John Frankenheimer's film 'The Train' on Youtube today. The film's Rive Reine was shot at Acquigny in Normandy and, if you freeze the footage where the Ouest 0-3 -0 is derailed at the yard throat, you get a good view of interlaced timbering on the turnouts there! posted: 10 Oct 2018 11:25 from: Simon Dunkley From the CRA forum, the following image suggests that the 12' foot switches had the joint in a chair, but were for sidings. That may reflect changing usage over time, as new designs came on stream. http://www.crassoc.org.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=101 Also, the oldpway.info site suggests ...
191. template origins?
... topic: 2396 template origins? posted: 3 Feb 2014 10:40 from: its_all_downhill Hi all, After a bit of a hiatus I have come back to my Temploting but am now trying to locate template at a distance from the baseboard edge (75mm) but in locating the Template at (X :0 Y:75) puts it in a different location to the Notch which I placed using GEOMETRY>NOTCH>SET NOTCH POSITION AND ANGLE at (X :0 Y:75) I have attached a screen shot. I have done a search for 'Origin' and have found some matches and think this might be to do with page margins of the printer? Obviously I can manually move the template to where I want it but am curious to the reason of the discrepancy. Thanks a lot.

192. First try
... my first try at a layout to fit in the small space that I have. It is a copy of 'Elan', a trackplan from Ian Rice's book 'Layout Design, Finescale in Small Spaces'. I have used, for me, the easiest method of lay the trackwork. I had some problems with the single slip, but using Brian Nicholls excellent instructions, I have cobbled together something that fits in the space. I would appreciate any comments as to whether it is buildable and run able. I will be using 0-6 -0 tank and tender locos.

193. GWR - Check Rails
... 35 from: David Higgs Refer to my Share& Show Thread here:- topic 3095 I have been doing a little research by reading the GWSG book on "GWR Switch and Crossing Practice" By David Smith and also studying Photographs of Moretonhampstead during the period of interest, BR(W )1948 to 1958. The GWSG Book suggests that from 1910, Guard Rails on Crossings up to 1 in 7 were 11' 6" in Length with 4 Check Chairs. Guard Rails on Crossings over 1 in 7 were 14' 0" in Length with 5 Check Chairs. Studying Photographs of Moretonhampstead I found that the Crossings had just 4 Chairs on the Guard Rails. This, to me would suggest that the Crossing Angles in use at Moretonhampstead were less than 1 in 7. Certainly the Diamond Crossing when checked with Templot using an NLS Map as a Background shape, shows it to be 1 in 7. I have been looking at http://templot.com/companion/check_and_wing_rails.php and also topic 1465 with a view of reducing the length of check ...
194. yet another newbie
... start from the trackpad origin. Also note, I have removed the grid pattern for clarity. It does however, require you to set these rectangles up in the correct positions on the trackpad in Templot, then every time you post a box file, also post the rectangle image files and the sk81 file that way the baseboards will appear without the need for the overall track plan image. Alternatively, I can set this up for you, but I would need some information (dimensions) regarding the distance from the outer (0 and 12ft length horizontal edges, and the (0 and 3ft length vertical edges) of the baseboards to the rails (either nearest rail to the edge, or track centre-lines). This would be required the rail distances from both vertical and horizontal edges to be defined. Of course, the ideal solution is a flat scanned plan image with the baseboard boundaries marked on it, plus the sk81 file to align it. All the best, Brian. 1853_281520_420000000.png posted: 29 Sep 2014 15:09 from: ...

Attachment: attach_2744_3326_Marcway_3way.jpg 554 posted: 11 Sep 2018 23:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ray, Thanks for the photo. To make an exact copy I would need something more precise, such as an actual scan of the Marcway tandem. p.s. I note that it has a check rail missing. Also a vee nose hanging in fresh air, and strangely narrow spindly timbering. I have created this 0-MF tandem which I think may be fairly close. The .box file is attached below. If you print it out, place the Marcway tandem over it and take a photo as square on as possible, I may be able to adjust it for a better fit. The V-crossing angles in order are 1:4.5- 1:7.5- 1:5.5 The radii are 1972mm (77.6")- 1287mm (50.7") 2_111801_390000000.png 2_111801_390000001.png cheers, Martin.

... a turnout, it follows the straight track and not the diverging track. Is this as intended? Hi Howard, Yes, that's intended. Prototypically it is quite rare for a platform to be alongside the diverging road of a turnout. However, if you do need that: 1. copy the turnout to the control. 2. click tools> make split> make plain track turnout road> on external geometrical radius menu item. If that menu item is greyed out: a. if the peg is on CTRL-0 put it on CTRL-1 (or anywhere except CTRL-0). b. add a few sleepers of approach track (F3 mouse action). c. try 2. again. Add more approach track until it is not greyed out. 3. click geometry> track centre-lines only menu item. 4. click real> platforms... menu item and add a turnout-side platform. 5. if necessary, put the peg on CTRL-1 and shorten it (F4 mouse action ...

I was creating the print file correctly and, as I said, a deafult 0 gauge A6 turnout is only 2 pages totalling 128KB of data. I tried setting the printer to almost the lowest resolution (text) and got the same result: the printer prints almost to the end of the first page then hangs up. The printer works fine in every other app, so I saved the same default A6 turnout to a pdf file (98KB): this prints with no problems, therefore this confirms my suspicion that there is some kind of problem with this release. I can use this as a ...
... 480 survey as a background. I am unsure of the dpi resolution of the scan, so I have been entering different resolutions in the hope I can match the track gauge of the template with the background. At 550dpi the image is too small but as I reduce the dpi successively, it fails to produce a background image below 500dpi. Obviously, I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, but I'm going Control, Background shapes, naming the file and choosing picture, enter dimensions, scanned map or prototype track plan, x=0 y=0 width scanned dpi 500, height 500, scale 1:480, Load image from my C:/ drive- and nothing happens! At 550 dpi and above it produces an image (but at the wrong size). Please can somebody point me in the right direction.

Fortunately this particular shape file won't be difficult to recreate! posted: 31 Jan 2010 02:42 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Thanks for the report. A "pen-line" background shape is created when using the draw function with the spacing-ring tool. If you haven't moved the spacing-ring you will get a pen-line from 0 to 0. So you can create exactly that shapes file instead of the one you thought you had, by doing this: 1. If the Background Shapes dialog is open you can delete all by pressing A on the keyboard, followed by ENTER twice -- on the confirm dialog, and then on the Save dialog. 2. If the spacing-ring dialog is open( click tools> spacing-ring menu item), click the draw to ring button or press A on the keyboard. Notice that both ...
