... topic: 1486 irregular diamond-crossings posted: 17 May 2011 02:06 from: Martin Wynne This topic is about creating irregular diamond-crossings in TDV. Irregular diamond-crossings are those where the radii in the two roads differ in size or direction. This causes the K-crossing and V-crossing angles also to differ. The most common use for an irregular diamond-crossing is in a double junction. Last edited on 18 May 2011 16:17 by Martin Wynne posted: 18 May 2011 16:56 from: Martin Wynne There are 3 ways to create an irregular diamond-crossing: 1. Start with a regular half-diamond template. Change the K-crossing angle using F10 mouse action and/or change the V-crossing angle using F9 mouse action. In most cases change also to a curviform type of V-crossing -- real> V-crossing options> curviform V-crossing menu item. (For this method this setting is optional.)

... topic: 3041 Counting railchairs posted: 29 Jun 2017 18:06 from: Richard Spratt I know how to get the total sleeper length. Is it possible for Templot to tell me how many railchairs I need for each template? I guess it might be difficult as there are many types of chair, but just a total number would be helpful. Thanks posted: 30 Jun 2017 08:06 from: Phil O For plain track I double the number of sleepers and for S& C I times it by four, this gives a pretty good ball park figure. Phil posted: 1 Jul 2017 22:39 from: Richard Spratt Phil, that's ok, but how do I count sleepers? It's not on the info output. posted: 3 Jul 2017 17:31 from: Phil O Richard In the info box it gives the number of panels of track and the number of sleepers per panel, plus any additional sleepers for a part panel. Thus you times the number of panels by the number of sleepers( a 60 foot ...

All the Templot files are visible in my hard drive but without the shortcut I didn't know how to access them.

84. TDV Gauge menu
... you go to set the scale (because it's called Gauge not Scale). But then I think calling it Scale has similar objections. I've been wracking my brains, such as they are, for a better word. The best I can come up with is Model (as opposed to Real), i.e. somewhere where you set the current model track parameters. While I'm here, any chance of sticking a couple of 3mm/ft items in the top gauge/scale list? Cheers Nigel posted: 21 Jun 2011 06:07 from: its_all_downhill Hi Nigel, I have been looking at this as well but I think gauge is perfectly ok as that is what we are building our track to not necessarily to scale i.e building in 4mm could encompass OO, EM, P4, OO-SF etc which are all same scale but different gauge widths, so to me it makes sense to call it gauge. Sure Martin will be along to inform us more eloquently shortly. Regards Tom posted: 21 Jun 2011 09:44 from: richard_t ...
... topic: 3021 Moving from Computer to Layout Construction posted: 9 May 2017 06:40 from: Rick I love Templot. Having spent a good deal of time over the last couple of months learning/ relearning the intracacies of Templot that make this software so fantastic, I can now say that it's time to put down the mouse and keyboard and pick up some glue, sleepers and rail. Construction has started. I was able to print the many A0 size sheets of paper that was generated by Templot to a PDF file, use these to help cut the benchwork to size and then glue them down to the plywood ready for track laying. It's been about 12 years since I handlaid any rail so I'll have to make a soldering jig to build the turnouts. Sleepers are being laid and this can be a very therapeutic exercise in its own right. I've added a photo to show some progress. Thanks to Martin for developing this exceptional piece of software and thanks to the many contributors on this forum who add to the understanding of using the ...
... topic: 1505 Development Version Icon posted: 20 May 2011 18:06 from: Alan McMillan Hi all I had an idea when I downloaded the development version. I don't use desktop icons, preferring to have all my regularly used programs in the quick launch menu instead (Windows XP in my case). It struck me that when I installed the TDV I would have two identical hard hat icons for both the normal and development versions of Templot with nothing to indicate which was which. That being the case I decided to modify the standard icon to create a red version for the TDV, attached here in a ZIP file. It should be placed in the C:TEMPLOT_DEV folder after being extracted from the ZIP file to a useful place on your PC. To have it show as the TDV icon, right click on the TDV EXE file and select "Properties", then "Change Icon" and browse to the C:TEMPLOT_DEV folder and double click the red icon. Click OK twice and there you have it, the Templot TDV ...
... range of flangeways (1.02mm, 1.25mm, 1.50mm and 1.75mm) for the different 7mm scale gauges. The plain chairs can be used for any 7mm gauge alongside the C&L and Exactoscale offerings. The crossing chairs are a different kettle of fish as non-scale (i.e. non-S7) involves re-designing all the chairs from scratch; but you could use bits of them cosmetically.

Can you then convert the diamond into a double slip? posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:05 from: Stephen Freeman Yes but depends on the angles being sensible of course. posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:10 from: Damien Morris 43e042e20647a2d60012e447214bc442.p ng I'm trying it with the left one, and the angles are really shallow, but I think the one on the right will be tight.

... similar at the bottom of the coil, usually in the form of a nylon based cover over the last part of the coil. This keeps the the steel spring separated from the base, (or bottom compression plate), to ease the turning of the front wheels. When the cover wears out you will know as the spring will catch and let go on the plate as you turn the steering wheel making a clunking noise similar to the failure of your CV joints.

Here is an extract from a Midland Railway PW Engineer's drawing: undefined 606_191437_380000000.jpg The wing rails have a set and then finish with radius or 18".

95. Double Junction
... on the other main line.. It's simpler than that you simply make a ladder crossover from the tools menu. That gives you the crossing bit and the adjacent track. All you then do is insert a turnout in the adjacent track for the double bit. Alan posted: 27 May 2010 03:08 from: Martin Wynne This is the "Trackbuilding topics" forum.

... topic: 2885 A rethink of plans posted: 31 May 2016 22:06 from: kellyh So if you'll recall, I previously posted with a few issues I was having with the layout plan I'd drawn. In the end I decided to go back and try again. Rather than having a crossover on a transition curve, it is now straight, though it might look better as a Y, but not entirely sure how to achieve that at present, but for now it works to give the overall idea for figuring things out. I also have added a single slip at the left end. I followed the tutorial video best I could and *think* I've got it right, but I'm not convinced of that. Might have messed the single slip alignment up somewhere along the way, not entirely sure. the plan is for a traverser each end, and the 3 long parallel tracks are planned to be hidden underneath scenery and accessed from the traverser. Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed. Attachment: attach_2291_2885_woolwich_dockyard ch_2016_05_31_2159_53.box 257 posted: 1 Jun 2016 ...
97. glueing track
... a better solution. When ballast is glued using PVA you get a solid mass which can transmit noise using the basebords as amplifiers. Less noise is transmitted through the flexibly glued ballast and so you get quieter running, not that important at an exhibition, but in the home.... A cheaper alternative to Copydex is the latex based glue used fitting carpets, usually sold in 5litre(?) plastic cans. Cheers for now John from 33820 St Ciers sur Gironde, France. posted: 23 Dec 2011 12:06 from: allanferguson Copydex does, as stated, remain flexible. But if you try to drill holes in it (as for wiring) the glue film will wrap itself round the drill and simply peel off the baseboard and rail/ballast surfaces -- a pain in the neck. I have used a spray adhesive sold for floorcoverings with some success, but it leaves little time for adjustment. I'm not convinced of the soundproofing qualities of any combination of adhesive and underlay on a conventional baseboard. The only reasonably quiet system ...

Up till now I have been using Templot on Windows XP OS at 32 bit operation with no problems, other than my own finger trouble. Will TEMPLOT run successfully with Windows 7 on 64 bit operation?

... topic: 2939 Translation of templot posted: 23 Nov 2016 22:06 from: Jerome FAGOT Hello everyone and martin I know templot for a few years but I have decided to use it recently. This is a great software but I find it quite complex learning, especially for me who do not speak English. Are translations planned and if not, is there any way we can modify the menus to translate the terms into our language? Templot is exactly what I needed to plan my future N-scale network, which should be quite complex and large. In addition I love the switches, it is for me a real passion and I could spend hours in front of a railway station grill to study the changes of multiple tracks. My difficulty lies mainly in the fact that I can link the paths between them, the procedures seem to me long and very complex. A thousand thanks to Martin for inventing and writing this software.
