... topic: 895 Why will this not transition? posted: 11 Jul 2009 06:24 from: BruceNordstrand I am slowly working my way through my plan but this kind of thing is driving me nuts. In the attached file I am attempting to create a transition from the straight track to the curved one. Both sections of track are aligned on the background scan how I want them. Clicking on the straight section and selectiing transition causes Templot to tell me it can't do it- WHY? These are the kinds of things that are driving me nuts daily. I can see no difference in this than the videos I have watched in an attempt to grasp Templot yet it doesn't work. Any and all help appreciated...

... topic: 3425 Flangeway Clearances- 3 Way Tandem Turnout posted: 4 May 2019 04:06 from: Roger N Hello All, I have recently produced an EM-FS "shunting plank" design in Templot to learn track building and to test out stock before moving up to a layout. This design includes a LH/RH tandem turnout created using the "Make 3-way tandem turnout" tool which worked well except for a couple of issues regarding clearances. I am unsure how to best adjust the following in a prototypical manner. 1. How much adjustment can be made to the LH wing rail for the middle crossing to create a flangeway without affecting wheel movement through the crossing? 2. How much adjustment can be made to the associated middle crossing check rail on the RH turnout side, again without affecting wheel movement through the crossing? 3134_032304_090000000.png Additionally, I can identify the switch type for the LH turnout as B but do not know how to interpret the switch type for the RH turnout from the component data. I have attached ...
... is no problem, you just have to be careful allowing sufficient spacing as Martin says. An interesting prototype, which appears to have everything, plenty of photos available too. In fact there is even one on the BBC site (try Googling "Hornsea, Railway"), which I think just about shows the actually 3 way in question. I note that the period is circa 1910- unlikely to be REA spec then..... Might make construction easier though.

To be honest, I don't really know which way to turn right now. You were giving me everything, whereas all I wanted to do was just join two pieces of track together But why did you want to join two pieces of track together? What made you arrive at Templot with that as your goal? Where does it say that is what ...

Having obtained the image files from the PDF, they can be imported into the Templot background picture shapes in the usual way. cheers, Martin. posted: 16 Dec 2018 14:27 from: Gordon A Thanks for the replies chaps. I will give Martin's suggestion a try. Gordon A posted: 16 Dec 2018 15:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, Since writing the above, I found an online converter to EMF which does a great job of converting PDF files created by CAD programs: http://cloudconvert.com/pdf-to-emf When importing into the background shapes, select the metafile option. This is a great way of getting drawings from CAD programs into Templot picture shapes. The previous 20-year-old method of importing DXF files directly is a bit primitive in comparison. cheers, Martin. posted: 16 ...
... ) or even thick card, for 4 mm scale 1.06 copperclad strip is fine Ever so humble Mr Hayfield but I find the statement about the chocks having to be the right size a little strange. I have found that the use of vee shaped chocks is completely unnecessary. I use a simple round one, usually a cheese head screw. You only need a point of contact on each rail so basically any shape will do. Saves a lot of filing. Sorry for nit picking. Cheers Godders posted: 21 Nov 2015 06:13 from: Hayfield Godders Good response, not nit picking as I and I guess others are open to suggestions. I would agree with you that for something that will not be used that often filing up a metal Vee chock may not be necessary. A simple thick piece of card would also work. I am guessing its not a counter sunk head screw, great idea I have found that if making a few the extra work making a metal one is more than paid off as it takes a few seconds to ...
... topic: 3339 Fettling a mostly-done plan for a donation to charity posted: 9 Oct 2018 06:57 from: William Williamson Hi all, Martin directed me that this might be a better place to post a question that i put on another model railway forum, so here goes! I've put together a rough plan in Templot which I think I like the look of and want to take further- but it requires a number of tweaks that I just don't have the expertise to do myself. I know this is a skill I can accumulate over a number of years, but I'd rather spend that if possible building track as a result of the templot plan. I was wondering, if anyone of this parish might be interested in making the following plan 'finished' (in the sense that the geometry works, the timbers are in the right positions, etc.), for a payment to a worthy charity (macmillan, a locomotive trust/heritage railway, the royal british legion, etc.)? This is the plan: ...
... biomechanical kind of fellow, so CAD design escapes my limited intellect) The time investment in learning the program is significant. Is there anyone who is able to produce a Templot file for me? (Lazy bugger that I am.) The tricky area is really the flow of the goods yard- almost tandem turnouts.

Neil Berrington Canada posted: 13 Feb 2010 18:06 from: Paul Boyd Hi Neil Before anyone can offer help, there's two vital bits of info needed. Firstly, the easy one, which scale/gauge are you modelling in? The second- there's no scale on the map you posted. Do you have any known dimension to get a scale from? Platform length? Sizes of buildings? Working from the two rails shown isn't likely to give good results, although that'll be better than nothing! Oh yeah, don't confuse Templot with CAD- Martin gets twitchy posted ...
... idea for the future, but then I read John Shelley's post so changed my opinion: I have deleted what was my second paragraph in light of Martin' post on the subject which was obviously being compiled as I was preparing my original. He is so much more erudite that I am. Surely, we should acknowledge, and respect his pleas of recent weeks. We can do this best by refraining from adding to his already unacceptable work-load. best wishes, Les G Last edited on 20 Dec 2011 17:06 by Les G posted: 20 Dec 2011 16:10 from: Martin Wynne Why am I reaching the end of my tether?

70. GW 'V' Rail
... taken the timber spacing from page 33 of said book. I'm wondering if it has something to do with not taking into account the angle of the timbers when calculating the spacing, but the rail joint definitely isn't 12ft from the intersection. Also, maths is most definitely not my strong point! It looks as if when Templot is adjusting the rail to span a set number of timbers, it isn't taking account of where those timbers are if they've been shoved.

A fascinating map series for me, as it shows the Somerset and Dorset at a time when the Bath Extension was newly constructed and was still single tracked (though double tracked south of Evercreech Jn as far as Templecombe). It also illustrates the limitations of the 25" series, in that the cartographers were not unduly concerned about the ...

Had a 3x2 N Gauge railway back in the day, and a shed with OO layout at my grandparents. When I was a member of my local club, and access to their library. I found a diagram of a layout I like, to make my own layout. Entry exit tunnels, goods yard, and main line operations. I want to use N Gauge GF stock, but custom track. No way Peco can make natural looking layouts. Recently found some old photos which really gave me what I need to see how it looked.

The tightest radius is on the entry turnouts, at 17.5". This should be OK for most applications, although you may not want to get a 9F through it! To use this formation, you'll need to import it to your current plan as a library (Storage box => Add library), and also read up about handling grouped templates- you'll need to group all of these so that the whole formation can be moved as one.

Fortunately FlashBackConnect provide their streaming server for our FBR videos, but the HTML5 web format on there isn't a patch on the FBR videos playing in the native player in Templot.

A look at your revision and compared to photos of the area on flickr (admittedly a bit later than my time period, but I can live with that) It also seems to show that interlaced sleeping was not used in the area.

Photographic Evidence is always the best reference source. Whilst I accept that extra long crossing timbers are used throughout, for whatever reason, it should perhaps be born in mind that due to our unprototypically tight curves producing extra wide track spacing the result can be somewhat exaggerated. Be that as it may, all the crossing timbers should be wide (4.00mm in this case), I have altered those that aren't, ...
80. TDV Sketchboard
... topic: 1667 TDV Sketchboard posted: 27 Oct 2011 06:47 from: Gordon S Hi Martin. I have eventually started playing around with the TDV and am quite excited about some of the new features. I'm learning as I go along and currently working on the Sketchboard. I managed to create one item and even placed it in the right position, but can't seem to move forward on a second one. Created the shape and as far as I know I have the item selected, but when clicking on 'Modify item' it is saying nothing is selected. Apologies if I'm missing something. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? When creating an 'L' shape item, should I do that as two seperate rectangles or try and draw it as a polygon? PS. The branch has been added as you suggested. I had to take out six storage roads, but it will be better for it.
