... topic: 368 0-FS from GOG-Fine posted: 15 Mar 2008 04:04 from: BeamEnds Hi All, Soddingham-under-Piddle now has baseboards! Horrah! The only snag is Martin did tell me how to swap the plan from GOG-Fine to 0-FS, but I can't for the life of me remember where and my DIY attempts haven't gone too well.... Any chance of a nudge to the little grey cells Martin? Cheers Richard posted: 15 Mar 2008 04:29 from: Martin Wynne BeamEnds wrote: Soddingham-under-Piddle now has baseboards! Horrah!

... topic: 977 0-SF Track Gauges posted: 21 Nov 2009 17:10 from: BeamEnds It's been a while.... after a year and more that has suffered from the old Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times" the light at the end of the tunnel has finally stopped receding and I might actually get round to making some track. I tried to get some of these made (a long time ago!), but the bod who was going to do it has expired. Are there any available yet, or is going back to 0-FS going to be easier?

Baseboard 1 select RECTANGLE ENTER DIMESIONS X1= 0 Y1= 0 X2 for a 4ft board enter i48 templot knows this is an imperial dimension and converts it to mm. Y2 for a 2ft board enter i24. see above for your next board change Baseboard 1 to 2 X1= i48 this is where the end of board 1 finished Y1= 0 this is because it is on the same line as the 1st board X2= i96 4ft on from the start of this board Y2= i24 still a 2ft wide board your next board change to Baseboard 3 X1= i96 ...

The point is only going to be used by loco's (0 -6 -0 and 4-4 -0 /0 -4 -4 plus an 0-4 -2, nothing more exotic) and freight stock, so the radii should be sufficient. The design is driven by how the available space is divided unfortunately.

... topic: 2739 009& 0-16.5 preset gauges posted: 30 Aug 2015 12:10 from: Hayfield For those like me who are not to clever at remembering things It would be nice if there could be preset scale/gauge settings for these two( I guess the sm32& 45 guys would also be interested) scale/gauge ration in the gauge/ scale selector. I do understand they are narrow and not standard gauges, and there are variants, but they are very popular scale/gauge combinations posted: 30 Aug 2015 13:11 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, I made the decision not to include narrow-gauges in the pre-sets. Partly because there are so many variants that they would completely swamp the list -- it is far too long already. But also because the timbering settings, rail-widths, etc., are not included in the gauge/scale settings. So simply changing the gauge and scale isn't sufficient if you still have 8ft-6in sleepers and 12" wide crossing timbers ...
86. GWR 45 foot
... I don't seem to be able to achieve this- is there a way to do it? Hi, Stuart Hince has written a tutorial on setting up custom rail lengths and sleeper spacings in Templot. It's specifically for the GWR: http://templot.com/martweb/pdf_files/gwr_track_panels.pdf cheers, Martin. Hi Martin, Two issues with this; first the dimensions in Stuarts file show (e.g.) 25.875 but Templot is changing this to 25.88; second to terminate the list of spacing the instructions say to enter a 0- I do but it continues to ask for sleeper 19/20/21 etc, I can't seem to terminate the list at 18 sleepers Cheers David Last edited on 24 Apr 2020 10:54 by rynd2it posted: 24 Apr 2020 13:09 from: Martin Wynne rynd2it wrote: first the dimensions in Stuarts file show (e.g.) 25.875 but Templot is changing this to 25.88 Hi David, That's only on the screen, the actual recorded dimension will be whatever you enter.

87. A user gives up
... for my own use, and then simply "made available" for anyone who wants it. Which remains my position today. For example it has never been advertised in a model magazine and it was never actually launched as a product. The only ever advertising as such has been in the Scaleforum guide and on the RMweb forum while it was still privately owned, and that was done more as support for those organisations than as promotion of Templot as a product. I first showed an unfinished public version to modellers at the Gauge 0 Guild show in Telford in 1998, inviting them to leave their name and address if interested. Even that was not a planned outing -- the stand had been booked for the Hunslet loco as in previous years, and I swapped to showing Templot at the last minute just to see if there really was any interest in it. That produced enough interest to keep me working on a public version of the program for another 12 months, and a few of those who had seen it were frequently contacting me for news of ...

But first, a question: In 0 gauge, with a 6ft radius curve and sleepers securely fixed will cutting a rail to make an isolation gap cause the rail to kink (not the act of cutting it itself), or will it stay put well enough?

I've searched the hard disk to see if finger trouble had plonked it in another folder, but couldn't find anything. I also note that the previous views are remembered on the next session. Jim. posted: 7 Feb 2008 23:33 from: Jim Guthrie Martin, Just found a 'funny' on the layout drawing I'm doing at the moment. Displaying 0- 2000mm on the horizontal scale on my 1024 wide screen, all my background line shapes display. If I zoom in one notch on the mouse wheel so that the horizontal scale is 0- 1950mm, a few of the lines disappear, or are truncated. If I zoom back out, they re-appear as normal. I can't remember this happening in 0.91B, and I can't easily check since I over-wrote it this am WinXP Home on a Toshiba Laptop- 1024 x 768. Jim. posted: ...
... topic: 1146 Finescale Insulated Metal Tiebars posted: 14 Jun 2010 13:13 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I've recently added a range of Finescale Metal Insulated Tiebars for scales/gauges 2mm scale to 7mm scale, to my range of products, you can see a picture of the 0 Gauge version here. Finescale Tiebars 0 Gauge 2_152349_290000000.jpg Borg-Rail 0 Gauge Stretcher Bars (Manufacturer's Photo) From: http://www.borg-rail.com Advantage over any other version of using copperclad 1) Copperclad moving tiebars are too rigid and may eventually break the soldered joint 2) Copperclad moving tiebars which use some sort of pin pivot can eventually fail due to the pivot wearing through the tiebar. Advantage over other scale tiebars 1) Being metal they are easy to connect to underboard point motors, a simple loop is all that is usually needed. 2) tiebar will deform rather than snap or break, but is rigid enough to operate blades. 3) Easy to alter to your exact standards.(within reason of course!)

... had almost a year to think about it's suitability and decided to make a few changes. I have drawn some preliminary ideas on paper with the design being not too disimilar. The new track design will be a little simpler which I have based loosely on North Leith. I know North Leith was a Caledonian station, with a little modellers licence the layout will be set a little further down the coast at Seafield. Being S-Scale things are a little tight but being an urban branchline there will be nothing larger than an 0-6 -0 running over it. As originally stated the layout is designed to sit around the walls of my modelling room and will serve as a layout/test track. The emphasis will be mainly on operation rather than scenic. If I decide at a later date to exhibit the layout then the plan would be to extend the sides sufficiently to enable some sort of backscene to be modelled. There are a few things on my workbench that I want to clear before producing the templot drawing but I'll keep you posted ...

... http://www.shapeways.com/shops/otr Last edited on 15 Dec 2011 14:00 by David R posted: 31 Oct 2011 22:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Raymond, David, The recommended check gauge with the "industry standard" wheelset is 30.0mm. At 29.2mm B-B that allows an effective flange thickness up to 0.8mm. For older thicker flanges up to 1.2mm thick the B-B can be reduced to 28.8mm minimum (using 31.5mm track gauge). That means that without any gauge widening: 0-MF 31.5mm track gauge, 1.5mm flangeway gap 0-SF 31.2mm track gauge, 1.2mm flangeway gap (Slater's-type wheels only) 0-XF 31.0mm track gauge, 1.0mm flangeway gap (Slater's-type wheels only) Generally 0-MF at 31.5mm track gauge is now the preferred option to give good support through V-crossings and still accept a wide range of wheels and reasonable radii. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Nov 2011 08:40 from: Raymond Thank you David and Martin for his later ...

Thank you once again. Regards Les Attachment: attach_2318_2910_Curved_Junction.b ox 204 posted: 9 Aug 2016 18:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Les, You seem to have done quite well in creating the junction. But there is one big snag, and I don't know how to tell you this -- it's not 0 gauge. You have designed it using the fictional startup T-55 gauge at 5.5mm/ft. You should have received a warning about this a few minutes after starting the Templot session. It would be possible to do an instant conversion, but then of course it would not be 8ft radius, and may introduce some discrepancies. So I would recommend starting again in 0 gauge -- click in the gauge menu before you begin, and choose your gauge. 0-MF is now regarded by many as the best ...
... in each bogie frame aren't exactly parallel with each other, they will ride up and over turnouts when that turnout is set in the direction of the crooked axle. Then there are the 4 wheel goods wagons. So far, I've stuck with rigid wheel mounting. But non parallel axles create the same derailment problems. But how do you achieve parallel axles when using pin point axle bearings which allow the axle point to float around in the bearing? I spent around 11 hours fine tuning the suspension of an Alan Gibson framed Midland 0-6 -0T. All 6 wheels are sprung and I endlessly fiddled with spring tension and freedom of movement of each axle box, then found that there was insufficient side play on the centre axle in one direction as it was hitting the gearbox, etc etc. The locomotive runs pretty well everywhere without problems now, but it was yet another time when 0 gauge was looking very attractive. Unfortunately 0 gauge takes up too much room and is just too expensive for me. So I soldier on with 4mm, although ...
... posted: 22 Dec 2012 23:13 from: Martin Wynne stuart1600 wrote: But the problem seems to be a conflict between the slip switches and the central diamond V-crossings. Hi Stuart, A curved 1:8 diamond with fixed K-crossings is asking for trouble, especially with the wide GOG-F flangeways. 1:8 is the limit for fixed K-crossings, and then only in straight track. I would strongly recommend changing to a switch-diamond for the slips. Have you considered using 0-MF instead? The V-crossings on the slips can barely be checked properly because of the conflicting diamond rails. By reducing the 90mm track centres a little you may find the check rails fit better. The points of the slip switch need to clear the wing rail on the middle V-crossing. To achieve this you need to move the switch sufficiently to clear. This will shorten the slip road and reduce its radius -- another reason to use a switch diamond (i.e. no K-crossing check ...

Hi Graham, I'm assuming by "the image" you mean the trackpad screen view rather than background picture shapes? (There are several options available for those when scaling (resizing) them and synchronising them with template moves.) For panning and zooming on the trackpad there are a dozen different options and settings, depending on whether you want to use: the mouse ...
... topic: 2706 0 Gauge Turntable posted: 10 Jun 2015 12:51 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I've just done a Youtube video of an 0 Gauge 70ft Ransome& Rapier Turntable that I have recently built from a Metalsmiths kit. On the original video it runs smooth enough but when I view the Youtube version there appears to be some hesitation. Now this could be down to my Computer being fairly low spec by todays standards, the Broadband connection or some Youtube issue. Motorisation is from a geared 12v dc motor rated at 2 rpm. In this case control will be by DCC decoder, the rest of the layout will also be DCC controlled by NCE Power Procab 5amp system. To ensure the correct polarity of the turntable track a Tam Valley Dual Frog Juicer is used. Yes, I know the adjacent track is too close should be minimum of 9ft apart but t'was the only way to fit everything in, so I claim Modellers License. I'd like to know how it looks to others if possible. posted: 10 Jun 2015 14 ...
