So much for modern digital cameras! I'm intending to do more of these "then& now" pictures. The tricky part is identifying the location from the old negs. Google streetview helps. Martin.

This is what I get when I try. (Using Chrome on Windows10.) Hi Andy, Google Chrome is the new Internet Explorer, doing its own thing with web sites. Generally Firefox is the best option for this site (and many others). This is how to insert images using Google Chrome (and Safari): 1. don't use the long Gallery buttons on the posting editor. Instead use the blue Gallery Upload button at the very top of the page. It will open in a new tab, so that you don't lose your post. 2. upload your image(s) to the Gallery ...
... topic: 1934 Google Chrome and Templot Club posted: 25 Apr 2012 20:13 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I think this is the best forum for this post! I've recently semi-switched to Google Chrome, from Firefox, as the latter is starting to get a bit clunky (Chrome has it's quirks as well though!) Anyway, I just tried to reply to a post and discovered that Templot Club doesn't work properly in Chrome! 105_251505_330000000.png The screenshot shows the result of selecting text then clicking the quote tool. You can see all sorts of other things wrong or missing as well! A quick peek at the market share of various browsers suggests that it might be a good idea for sites to work with Chrome- it could also be argued that it would be a good idea if Chrome worked with existing sites, but that's a whole different story Needless to say, I'm using Firefox to post this... posted: 25 Apr 2012 21:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, There are 4 different posting editors ...

... topic: 331 Google Analyser- web site statistics posted: 9 Feb 2008 18:41 from: Brian Lewis This is essentially for Martin, but I thought other folk who had their own web sites might be interested. When we revamped our web site on 28th Jan, we hooked into Google Analytics. This provides a wealth of information regarding visitors to your site. What I have yet to decide is what use I can make of most of it.... In the period 28th Jan- 7th Feb, we had 1371 visits. Visitors scanned 6887 pages- an average of 5.02 pages per visitor. 70.53% were first time visitors. They spent an average of 4 minutes 36 seconds on the site. I am happy with this- it is far longer than I spend on most sites. Direct traffic was 45.73% Traffic via Search engines was 30.63%- 26.40% was Google. As would be expected the main keyword was 'c&l finescale'. Traffic via referring sites was 23.63% 4.23% from S4 site. ...
... topic: 3750 Google/ Bing maps& 'satellite' Vs Ordnance Survey posted: 28 Aug 2020 18:12 from: DerekStuart Good afternoon all. The discrepancies between google aerial views and OS maps has been discussed before, but I can't see at any time anyone has reached a conclusion. I have engineering drawings of some buildings- copied from original records, which I'm inclined to accept as accurate, but these do not tally up with the aerial view from either Google or Bing. The OS map again shows something different. It's enough of a difference that I would be reticent to scale the whole plan based on this discrepancy. Does anyone have any ideas, please? Or can point me in the direction of a previous discussion that reached a conclusion? (I did try searching but found nothing conclusive). Thanks Derek posted: 28 Aug 2020 18:30 from: DerekStuart Thanks to a post elsewhere from Ickdab on another matter, I will go along with his suggestion that the OS maps are more likely to be accurate than the aerial ...
... topic: 815 DXF and beyond posted: 30 May 2009 14:38 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, Nowadays for 3D visualisation and walk-throughs of Templot tracks in your layout design, the obvious choice is Google Sketchup. But if you are looking for a more conventional CAD for use with Templot's DXF exports, a very powerful 2D/3D CAD package which is entirely free* is: ProgeCAD 2008 SMART (Proge is in Italy) It's based on the IntelliCad engine and uses AutoCad DWG/DXF as its native file format, so loading DXF exports from Templot is simple. Bearing in mind the cost of other full-featured CAD packages, this entirely free version is excellent and much more powerful than the other free and low-cost CAD programs available. There are some nag screens about upgrading to the Professional version when you first select several functions, but they all have "don't show this again" buttons -- so you are soon rid of them. *Free for personal/ non-commercial use only.

To be sure 85a.co.uk is not a secure site as it doesn't have SSL. Unfortunately it is a fact of life that web browsers etc are getting more and more paranoid about this. If you are using google chrome or Internet Explorer it's even worse. Furthermore Google are now downgrading sites that don't have SSL in favour of those that do, given time they might not even show up in any searches at all. polybear wrote: Hi all, I've heard of Norton being a pain with regard to the download of the Templot program, but I've been experiencing problems on the Templot Forum.

... topic: 712 Scaleing a drawing to 4mm. posted: 26 Jan 2009 14:34 from: Alberta, I wonder if anyone could help me out im totally stuck. I have recently been involved in a project& im trying to get the correct scale& size of a particular site. I used the google maps& managed to crudley get a rough dimension of the area to be modelled. I am& always have been terrible with maths it has never been a strong point so i wondered if anyone here could help me out to scale this size. The key to the google maps was a inch= 200ft Now my measuring with a tape gave me these measurements 2inch= 400ft 3inch= 600ft 6.5inch= 1300ft Now how do i scale these down to 4mm to 1ft& what would the above measurements be in ft& inchs once calculated because i,ve been sat here with a pen& paper trying for dear life& tearing my hair out at the same time Thanks Alberta. posted: 26 Jan 2009 14:58 from: ...

Thanks Derek posted: 17 Feb 2020 18:11 from: Martin Wynne DerekStuart wrote: Oddly, using VBA I think I could probably achieve both of your examples. Hi Derek, I confess that I had to Google VBA to find out what it is. It seems to be a variant of VisualBasic6, which is no longer supported by Microsoft since the introduction of .NET around 2006. It seems odd that Microsoft are keeping it alive as VBA within its Office products but not separately as VB6. If you like using VBA then obviously you should use it for what you want to do. Bear in mind that as far as I can see it doesn't produce executables which you could share with others, nor is there an open-source ...

As far as I can tell, the platform is about 320ft long (about 4 station buildings)- looking at Google earth. When I was there, I neglected to measure the platform. (Which would have been smart I guess) Although I live across the pond, I have visited Dorset (and Corfe Castle) twice, and it is a really neat piece of restoration. Thanks for the video- made me quite nostalgic to go back. The only problem with a real place is of course that people can always identify errors easily. I guess not to much chance of that in Winnipeg! Thanks for all the interest. ...
... anyone for any purpose (and to which as a contributor I confess a serious addiction problem ): http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.37567/-2.30633 Anyone can contribute to OSM, which is mostly done by tracing over Bing satellite images or over OS OpenData. By this means railway structures can be added to OSM, and then imported into Templot as OSM tiled maps, without infringing any copyright or licence issues. Why so many web sites use (and in some cases pay for) the awful Google maps when OSM is so much better and more detailed, is another of life's mysteries.

... topic: 472 O/T Another good(?) reason to go Mac posted: 3 Jul 2008 04:33 from: Raymond Gibson Hi all, Sorry, just cannot help twisting the knife in the wound (PC). Some months ago I had downloaded Google Earth onto the Windows side of my Mac& tonight felt like having a look at an area of nice gardens near Dore Station. Eventually found the trackwork (plus a Trans Pennine train approaching Sheffield Station) but no gardens. Much of the area was a dark splodge. Also, the screen size was small so I thought it might be an idea to download it onto Mac himself (why this was not do in the first place, I know not). Having done so, but running out of time, I just did a quick home-in on Sheffield: to clarity was surprising ..far better than on Windows. Tomorrow, will have to see what improvements there might be on Dore. posted: 3 Jul 2008 05:03 from: Nigel Brown Raymond ...
