This modify-on-rebuild function allows fast transfer of the track centre-line settings to a group or an entire track plan. This is a convenient way to change a lot of hidden track to show as track centre-lines only, instead of having to change each template individually.

... . I'm now at something of a loss. Suggestions welcome for how to indicate to beginners that store& background does not merely change the colour of the template, but creates a copy of it, leaving the original control template unchanged ready for the next operation. I wish I had a pound for every time I've tried to explain that in emails over the years. Permanently moving it isn't an option, because it would make working with multiple partial templates a nightmare. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Nov 2012 11:06 from: RT Martin Wynne wrote: In that case there is something seriously wrong with the code.

At one show we sold quite a lot of rail as one society's rail was incompatible with the Exactoscale bases they were selling As the tool for drawing ages the rail profile enlarges, also the design may differ from the outset. whilst both may they are made to the same code, they will be different.

The turnouts at the south end of the station are 16.5mm track gauge with 0.9mm flangeways. I'm not aware of any 00 standard with such fine flangeways. Most commercial RTR models have wheels to the NMRA/110 standard with flanges 0.8mm thick, so you are getting close to the limit. Also of course the back to back will need increasing to at least 14.8mm to span the ...

... Hi Richard, Many thanks for posting this. Mostyn has become well known and much admired on the exhibition circuit, so it's great that you have made the Templot files available for others to use. It's amazing to see how you have packed every available inch of baseboard with track for the fiddle yard. Please keep us posted with developments. Those wishing to see more can find Mostyn at Barrowmore Group. Here's one of many fine pictures of Mostyn linked from that site: Mostyn01GB.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 16 Nov 2007 06:05 from: Richard Oldfield Dear all, To bring the plans to life here is a shot of the Mostyn fiddle yard taken at the recent Blackburn exhibition.

At the Lavant end, the width is dictated by the opening into the new room where the conservatory used to be (4' window removed) and at the "Cocking" end by the 2' 6" door way into the hall- the scenic breaks being an overbridge( representing "Bulldog bridge" )* at that end, and the tunnel mouth at the Lavant end.

57. Track Centres
... topic: 1821 Track Centres posted: 8 Feb 2012 20:06 from: Jerry I am gradually assembling my Maidenhead Goods Yard in Templot, thanks to Paul Boyd who provided advice on diamond cross overs. I have a dilemma which I cannot resolve in my own mind so am asking members for their guidance. I have been following the 1:2500 OS map where it seems the surveyor has set out the running lines, Up& Down Main and Up& Down Relief other than with the Templot selected track spacing. The lines were slightly curved through the station and past the yard, as shown in photographs, but then all 4 lines straightened out. The plan I am working to is attached. Would other modellers follow the surveyors' settings or set-out the tracks using standard parallel spacing? My recollection is that these were exemplars of GWR track. It had to be, one of my school mates fathers was the local permanent way inspector for Maidenhead. He was a big man with a big voice! Jerry Attachment: attach_1348_1821_1234_flattened.pn g ...
