... it's advisable to keep the size of the half diamonds the same but the curving radii on each half can be different without too many problems is that correct? re the BH points, yes I was a few in to the design before spotting the error, I may well go back and correct these. I had originally thought that after selecting FB rail that might have been an automatic change. Will post back soon kind regards Dave Last edited on 5 Dec 2007 14:03 by davelong posted: 7 Dec 2007 04:06 from: davelong Hi All the diamonds are now the same size and I've converted the majority of the points to FB templates, except for the crossing in the middle as this is planned to be a non operating crossing ie disused. I've tidied up a few of the curves as well. already looking better. Please pass on any comments you have, file attached. Kind regards Dave L.

... , start by extending the entry-straight on the first turnout. You can do that by mouse action in version 091c, which makes it much easier to see what you are doing and keep an eye on the radius. There is a bit of Jing video showing that mouse action in use at: http://screencast.com/t /q8zBFC9z and some notes about it at: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =398910#p398910 regards, Martin. posted: 5 Dec 2008 21:06 from: Brian Lewis Well I do not know what Martin thinks about the concept John, but I think this what has been needed for years. The printed word is so much better than videos, help files, etc. Not a criticism, but a thought. If I was doing this I think I would have a separate link for every action, i.e. keep them spaced out from the explanatory text. You could reduce the margins, so that it would not use up more paper.

... yes, the posted version of the boxfile was saved at 02:47 this morning. We had a thunderstorm earlier this evening and I powered down the computer network, only to find that when trying to restart it the network switch had failed. I've only just finished restoring my internet connectivity using a replacement switch built into an old router. Bad moment when I realised that loss of the internet connection had, of course, also cost me access to Templot!

126. Curved Double Slip
... certainly there would be only one ground signal for both roads. Also the hand lever would be on the left, away from the running line, and there is no sign of a suitable linkage. The switch on the bottom left might be a hand lever, or might be rodded from the box. However with the other three switches rodded I think it likely that this one would be too, and the lie of the switches is in accordance with this. double_outslip.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 30 May 2008 02:06 from: phileakins Thanks Martin. When you think about it, would any signalling scheme allow ends of the same point to be separately controlled? Both ends are 'on the box' in some fashion, but it is plainly possible to set a route which could result in a run through. Of course we can't see the crossover behind the photographer and presumably the the mechanical locking wouldn't allow the clearing of a signal for a plainly wrong route, but (as I tell trainees) signals do not put an inpenetrable barrier across ...
... to deal with the curves through the fornation. The diamond crossing is a switched diamond- usually used when the angle of the "K" crossing starts getting too large which can cause flanges to take the wrong road. It looks as though the angle of the "K" crossing in the formation looks OK for a fixed diamond, but I wonder if the comparative simplicity of the switched diamond around the "K" crossing might not have been an advantage in this formation. Jim. posted: 12 May 2020 14:06 from: Mike Kynaston Martin- Many thanks, the K crossing bit was the section we did not know about, and hand not realised that Templot would handle everything itself in that respect. Thanks. I'll have a got with it and see where we get to! I will see about posting the result on the forum in a dedicated thread on the appropriate board. Jim- Thanks for the input, I will try Martin's way but if I am struggling, I will take your comments on board about the two turnouts ...

They'd be in polyurethane resin when I do them, so it'd be a superglue job to fix them. posted: 6 Jul 2013 01:04 from: SimonH Happy to send a photo.

... -1 code 60 FB which may be a little light, but the rail foot width allows for the 0.5mm flangeway gap without any filing. Or did the prototype have to reduce the foot width to allow correct flangeway gaps? It's hard to judge from the photo. The photo was taken at Porthmadog Harbour Station in July 2000, 20 years ago this month, specifically to help with layout building. Where on earth does the time go?!?!?

I did have what i thought was a suggestion about adding the version number to the printed Templot function key chart (the key mapping changes with different versions) but on closer look, it is actually printed in very small text that i failed to notice till after i created this topic.

There was one of these in 1964 right on the main Melbourne Adelaide line at Dimboola, photo of prototype is in the Train Hobby books again.

I understand there are two types of scissors crossover i.e Scissors 1 and 2. The scissors 1 is more difficult.

... topic: 3685 Kyle of Lochalsh- comments welcome posted: 31 May 2020 08:06 from: Julian Roberts Hi I've made a track plan for my intended layout, drawn exactly on the map as far as I am able. I wonder if this is as satisfactory as I think it is!? It's all done using the "beginner" tools but it looks fine to me- or maybe there are some improvements that can easily be made before I start actually making the trackwork? The only thing I know needs to be done (apart from finishing plotting one track into the shed) is putting in missing timbers on the 3 way turnout. I don't know if I can attach more than one file. I'll post again with the other file that Templot sent to my computer at the same time.

... topic: 3692 Groups and marker colours posted: 5 Jun 2020 11:06 from: Gordon S I'm always using groups when working on my layout design and something has puzzled me. When you have a whole group of templates and realise you have a misalignment or need to amend one piece of track within the group, you bring the template to the control, make the changes and then save, but in doing so, you lose the group marker colour for that piece of track. That means going back to group all templates and selecting the market colour for the group all over again. Am I missing something, or is there a way that the piece of track you have amended can keep it's original marker colour once you save it. Of course I'm assuming I'm doing it correctly.... posted: 5 Jun 2020 11:50 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: That means going back to group all templates and selecting the market colour for the group all over again.

... topic: 3784 meaning of 'to the control' posted: 29 Sep 2020 06:11 from: Jerry Goodwin I'm a bit baffled by all the 'something to the control' commands. I've read through the tutorials that talk about wiping, deleting, going from background to the control, etc, and I'm just befuddled. I understand that there is one control template that is the target of most commands. I sort of understand this as the 'foreground' template, while the others are 'background'. It's the template being controlled, I guess? Anyway, one selected template makes sense, but the sense of 'control' seems backwards. It's not controlling anything, it's the one being controlled and manipulated. But the way the 'xxx to the control' functions work isn't penetrating my brain. I think I'm hung up on the word 'to', trying to figure whether it means 'up to the control' (so "delete to the control" would delete everything up to the control, but not the control, except then what's the order of ...
... treadle bar. Although they could be on the outside of the running rail they would be fixed close to the outside edge of the rail and normally sit just below rail level being prevented from rising by any wheel sat on that part of the running rail. Any turnout protected by it would not be able to be unlocked. The ones I am familiar with at Bodmin General were made of angle iron rather than rail which would be of a much larger section than needed. Tony.

He brought out a third book in the 60s (lighter blue cover) which was a compendium of layouts carrying on from where the first two left off. Also, I can probably dig up the original appearance of the plan being discussed as I've got the Modellers back to 1957. It'll have to wait till I get home at the weekend, or someone else might be able to oblige sooner.
