... a switch is only that part of a turnout which comprises the moving points (blades), not the entire thing. You will get hopelessly lost in Templot if you refer to an entire turnout as a switch. startup_pad.png You can set up Templot for any scale, gauge and flangeway gap standards. There is a long list of pre-set gauge/scale combinations, but it is very easy to create your own custom settings. In fact the 7mm/31.5mm combination is already in there, with 1.5mm flangeways, designated 0-MF. This for use with the "industry standard" 0 gauge wheels, set to 29.2mm back-to-back (30.0mm max BEF). For the narrower S7 wheels I assume you are using narrower flangeways for full support and wider back-to-back. Templot can be set to whatever dimensions you are using. regards, Martin. 20 Aug 2010 16:32 from: Nigel Brown Never needed to do this, but just tried it. First of all set gauge/scale to S7. ...
... you were aware of Alan Ferguson's beginners guide? If not, could you please have a look at it. Then, with the eyes of a novice employing a scale from (1) encouraging/reassuring to (5) useless/disappointing and rate it as either one or the other or above or below 3. I would be grateful. After a number of years trying to get to grips with Templot (and failing!) I viewed Alan's beginners guide and proceeded to plan two layouts, one P4, the other 0-16.5 and then I used the templates to build the track for the P4 layout. The results can be seen here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/19096-wigmore-road-sidings/ The track for the narrow gauge layout is this winter's project. So on a scale of 1 to 5 I most certainly give it a Great Big ONE (and a star if available). Regards Arthur posted: 25 Aug 2010 21:16 from: donald peters Visited your rmweb site ...

... size of the plane remains the same. Another alternative could be to retain the curved crossover, but eliminate the straight bits on either side to get on more gentle general curve on the double track, thus easing the curves in the crossover. Just some thoughts; if you're happy with the existing curves for your planned stock then the plan's fine as is. Cheers Nigel posted: 3 Apr 2011 12:50 from: dajt Thanks Nigel, I'll try to replicate what you did. The stock will all be small locos, 0-6 -0 at most, and 4-wheel coaches/wagons. This is basically a train set for me and the kids to play with, and a chance for me to try making a layout.

I'm relieved that I don't use Avast, but now worried that my anti-virus (Eset NOD32) might go the same way if Symantec AV is also playing up. Here's this from Avast:____ Hello, Last night, Avast had a bad false positive issue. At around 12:15am GMT we released VPS update 091203-0 which started flagging hundreds of innocent files as a "Win32: Delf-MZG" Trojan. Among the files affected were high-profile programs produced by Adobe, Realtek sound card drivers, various media players etc. We are still investigating the issue, trying to find out what exactly happened and how to make absolutely sure it will not happen again.

209. Large layout
... 16' section? I used 'select group' to give a rough approximation of the area, but of course templates go outside the specific area I want to print. Hi Gordon. I only wondered because I downloaded the file and the grid is set to mm. I have been trying to generate a pdf file of the top strip the 13'-16' which is what I presume you are after. After a couple of abortive attempts I managed to do it in theTDV by altering the page origin to X=0 and Y=3962.4mm (13'). and then setting the pdf page size to Long side 2743.2mm (9') Short side 914.4mm (3'). I tried to do it with an 18' page length and got a blank page, but it works as two 9' pages, but the files are huge 64 MB. Hope this helps. I'm sure Martin will give you the definitive answer.

210. Confused by radii
... > make split> make plain track turnout road> on internal geometrical radius, which produces 719mm radius. re the1274.45mm dimension -- the line you missed in the data is this: "equivalent straight template dimensions BEFORE curving:" That dimension would apply to a straight A-5 turnout. It's not a good idea to put a short turnout such as an A-5 in such a sharp ruling curve, the radius will be far too tight. Your main road curving at 1288mm is already near the bottom limit for 0 Gauge, so to have a turnout diverging from the inside it will need to be a very long turnout, such as a D-12. You can ease the radius a little by changing to a generic type of V-crossing. (Or curviform, according to the needs of the connecting geometry.) regards, Martin. posted: 24 Aug 2011 14:28 from: Paulr1949 Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Paul, It's not a good idea to put a short turnout such as an A-5 in ...

I think you misunderstood me when I said the imports work in Templot, what I meant is that I can export and reimport the same dxf file created in Templot with retained accuracy. However, when I try to import a dxf file from either of the other programs the coordinates all end up as 0 in templot. I have not tried saving them in an older format, Ill try that as well and get back to you on the result. Attached are two files, each created in different programs.

213. Two TDV questions
... the dpi size to use for this PNG image. You can work that out by making a note of the width of the boundary rectangle in inches and dividing it into 4000. You can set the size of the boundary rectangle by selecting the boundary rectangle option on the export a file... dialog and then clicking the set... button. You can enter inch dimensions by prefixing them with a letter i. For example to create a boundary rectangle 10" x 8" located at the grid origin, enter 0,0 ,i10,i8 dimensions. Then export your image, and the dpi setting to use in the cutter is 4000 dots divided by 10 inches= 400dpi. If your cutter driver doesn't allow you to set the dpi figure, you will have to assume that it is using the printer resolution (probably 600dpi or maybe 300dpi) or the screen resolution (probably 96dpi) and do some trial and error on the image size. For example, if your boundary rectangle is 10 inches wide and you want to create ...
... not to happen. Hi Trevor, The reason for the problem is that your custom plain track settings for "SECR 45ft/18 sleepers" contain an error. You have included the final 12" from the last sleeper to the rail end as a sleeper spacing. You should enter zero to terminate the list after reaching the final sleeper. Templot already knows the rail length and can work out the space between the final sleeper and the end of the rail. If you change the final 12" in the spacings list to 0, all will be well. You will need to select this new custom setting for all the plain track templates. 4. Printing. The age old problem, I can get it to print to PDF using cutePDF, adobe acrobat V9 reads the file ok, But I really would prefer to get it printed once it is all fixed as a single roll and not multiple sheets, can anyone assist with this, I am of course prepared to pay a resonable price!

Well now that I have retired from full time work I have just a little more time to make trains, Dianne makes sure I spend some time upgrading the house but a little is better than none. My question is this; I am about to go digital for my layout control and am wondering if the Hunslet will take a chip. I noticed in the loco instructions you advise against the use of "variable pulse controllers" does this mean DCC? Does anyone run one as standard on digital any suggestions/tips greatly appriciated.

218. Track designing
... needs to be built up as several linked templates: curvy_obstructions.png The easiest way to weave a track between obstructions is to use the "tools> make mirror on peg" function repeatedly, to link a series of transition curve templates. It is quite quick to do, provided you remember to swap the peg to the next free end each time. Here is a scruff video as an example: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/curvy_obstructions.exe Also keep an eye on whether the peg is now at the Ctrl-0 or Ctrl-1 end, so that you know whether to adjust the 1st or 2nd radius for each template (the 1st radius is at the Ctrl-0 end, the 2nd radius is at the Ctrl-1 end).

220. 90 Deg crossing
... request. Is there another way? Hi Peter, Sorry, 90-degree and similar short-angle crossings are not directly supported in Templot. They are unusual on the prototype -- designs vary a lot and don't use conventional chairing for the vees. If you have a prototype drawing (there is a 1:1 drawing in the GWSG GWR track book, p.54 -- see below) you can create one using partial templates and much timber shoving. By the way, a 90-degree crossing is 1:0 angle -- a 1:1 RAM crossing is 45 degrees. The current bottom limit in Templot is 1:2. Below that the timbering algorithm falls over. I intend to reduce the limit to 1:1.5 in a future pug, but it will still need manual timbering intervention. If you are familiar with geometry and computer programming I'm sure you will see the problem with a 1:0 angle and hear the alarm bells ringing! regards, Martin. posted: 17 Sep 2007 20:03 from: ...
