... to the completed track section when either trying to remove the template or moving the section to it's final location. Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, my question is what do other members use to glue the sleepers to the template? Regards Brian O'Donovan posted: 13 Dec 2015 12:59 from: Raymond I use double sided tape for that and then glue the rubber underlay down with Latex, then the track/paper base and finally glue the ballast with dilute Latex. Raymond posted: 13 Dec 2015 17:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, You didn't say what your timbers are made of? If plywood timbers, ordinary PVA wood glue should be fine. Don't use too much, so that the water content doesn't cockle the paper. Another option would be tubed balsa cement from aero-modelling shops. If plastic timbers, you need a tubed solvent cement adhesive, as used for plastic kits, or Evo-Stik-type contact adhesive. Liquid solvent alone may not provide a strong long-term bond to the paper ...

... (i.e. PVA or Copydex) could cause you great problems as they are likely to affect the wallpaper, which could well shrink on drying resulting in distortion and possibly worse (same goes for any templates left in situ). as to the 1mm flangeway, I'm sure others will point out that the critical measurement is not the actual check-rail flangeway width itself but the distance from the inner face of the check-rail to the inner face of the crossing wing-rail. posted: 22 Jan 2016 11:06 from: PeterD Borg-Rail wrote: Hi, So far so good, I think.

... sections. Mainly it was done to test size for location and see the positioning of mock-up buildings. And yes a 6' long building in 7mm does not dominate on a plan that long. The reality that became obvious during some test building is that you only really need plans the size of the individual base board sections. Complex formations wil also need to be printed separately for build purposes. None the less it can be impressive to roll out. Regards, Matt M. posted: 3 Aug 2014 11:06 from: Les Waters Many thanks for the informative replies. I am not so hung up on getting one print of the whole thing, other than to lay it over my baseboards to try and ensure that baseboard joints do not conflict too much with pointwork. It sounds like it would be best to get the whole plan printed in two parts with some of the more complicated trackwork printed separately. Once again many thanks for the most helpful replies.

... equivalent to paper both templates and shapes are printed OK. I've hunted around for some settings that might account for this, but not found anything that seems to relate to this "problem"- and drew a blank on searching on here. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong, and a solution, would be gratefully received. Stuart here's the related bgs file... the testfile just had a couple of templates as an example!

To do that, click the tool button which is the 4th item from the top left of the trackpad (to the left of the sketchboard button) and draw a rectangle. There are mouse actions to adjust each edge precisely if needed. ...

Your screen should also have a dark grey bar at the top of the video. I added that to avoid confusion between the Templot menu bar and the mini-player controls.

I'm sure I read somewhere that short splice rails were done away with quite early and I have not found any reference to uses longer than 17ft. Does anyone have any opinions on this please? Either for prototypical reasons or pragmatic modelling. Any suggestions greatfully appreciated as usual.

I appreciate that there is no intention to make a Mac version of Templot itself, but why oh why does it have to be so difficult to access the training materials?

... topic: 2872 New to Templot- am I on the right lines? posted: 27 Apr 2016 21:06 from: RK Hello, I've put a couple of small O gauge layouts together in recent years, one using Peco track and points, the other using Peco track and Marcway ready-to-use point work. I'm now about to start on my big long term layout and have decided to take the plunge and have a go at hand-building all the scenic trackwork. Now this is something I've never done before, so I'm hoping somebody may be able to help and give me some guidance. I've used Templot to draw out the track plan and make sure everything works, I'm lucky in having a large area to use, fortunately. But before I start spending time on the detailed aspects and actual building, would anyone be prepared to look over the Templot file for me and check for any major mistakes I may have missed? Its things like: will signals fit between adjacent tracks, and whether coaches may catch on ...
... topic: 2535 Templot on tablets and small computers posted: 19 Sep 2014 09:06 from: Martin Wynne Some recent tablet and small notebook computers now have very high resolution small screens, which default to 144dpi or more. I know there are some users running Templot on these computers. And I'm now one of them. I've been disappointed by the way Windows displays the trackpad detail on these screens by default. For non dpi-aware programs, on screens above 120dpi Windows ignores the scaling settings in the program, draws the screen at 96dpi and then scales it up to fit. For our purpose this produces a very disappointing result, defeating the whole point of having a high-resolution screen. To see what I mean, this is what Templot tries to draw on the screen: 2_190332_190000000.png On these high-resolution tablet computers, this is what you actually get: 2_190333_570000000.png You may not realise that this is what you are getting because the small size and very high resolution disguises it. If you are using one of these computers and ...
... change the guage to n scale right? Hi Daniel, No, that will mint new templates, restoring some default UK settings. Instead, to convert them to N-NMRA, click the convert group button on the gauge/scale dialog. That's at gauge> other gauges... menu item. The conversion may do some funny tricks, such as the wrong check rail (guard rail) end gaps for machined flares, but it's all easily fixed. regards, Martin. posted: 22 Dec 2014 22:06 from: dce21b Ok, I have used the US templates and redid the layout... what you guys think?

... Sep 2014 16:28 from: Tony W Hi Simon. Welcome to the Templot Club. What you are trying to do is more than Templot will allow. You can have one template of track with a straight section and a single curve or a template with a reverse curve but not all three. You will need to break your straight, left hand curve, right hand curve into two separate templates. The fact that you are using a laptop is irrelevant.
