Regards. Trevor. posted: 17 Oct 2014 20:10 from: DerekStuart Thanks chaps. I have since found perhaps 100 photos of the general scene and from a couple of them I have been able to work out which turnouts to use (mostly B8 and C8- which surprised me as I'd have thought a short slow branch... but it was once busy). I have used google maps to trace certain KNOWN positions and as you say, working backwards from there. At the moment I really just need an idea of the trackwork that will cause me hassle later ...
202. Checkrail on curves
... topic: 2580 Checkrail on curves posted: 24 Nov 2014 20:40 from: DerekStuart Me again... A question (or 3) for the experts- of which there are plenty here! Checkrails on curved track- 10 chains A) Assuming you are coming from a straight section (very low speed so no transition curve (or should there still be one anyway?)) how far should the checkrail lead in from the straight, or does that depend upon speed rating of road? B) I have just read that the checkrail sits proud of the running rail, but I am not 100% sure this was for British track. Is this correct and if so, how far does it sit proud? C) In model form, C&L Exactoscale says to use standard chairs and on each sleeper, alternating between running rail and check rail, with a decorative half stuck on in the appropriate places (I have plenty of 'halves', given how many I've broken!). I wonder if this is the ...

... 11 00:12:43____ from: Paul Boyd Looks like an interesting project. I lived in Bristol for most of my life until I managed to escape, and I think it's a shame and somewhat ironic that the old station is just a car park now. As far as track spacing goes, this was originally built with broad gauge, and I vaguely remember seeing an engraving that shows four broad gauge tracks, so that should give you an idea. originally dated: 2008-03-11 10:12:13____ from: Nigel Brown Paul Boyd wrote: As far as track spacing goes, this was originally built with broad gauge, and I vaguely remember seeing an engraving that shows four broad gauge tracks, so that should give you an idea.

... all of the features first. I guess I used only the basics of Templot and because I landed up doing a lot of rework, I have probably not done it the most efficient way. I couldn't for example get the move group to work properly so landed up moving my goods yard a template at a time many times as I moved it around the design. The issue that I have at the moment though is that I have managed to print out the background templates on my second attempt- my first produced nothing after 10 hours! but the background shape that I was working to has not printed. To be able to fully determine whether I have met my design aims, I need to see both the "original" and the trackplan on top of it and study it for a few weeks. Is there a way to get the background shape (picture) in my case printed? I thought I had clicked the right options but apparently not. At some stage I will also need to decide where to cut the design for transportation as ...

210. MERG DCC system
... topic: 3113 MERG DCC system posted: 21 Oct 2017 23:52 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Prompted by a reply on another Templot thread tonight I would be interested to know any thoughts or owners experiences on the MERG kits for a DCC command station and handset as reviewed in BRM last year. It would make joining MERG worth it to get a full feature system for a very reasonable price. Some of the kits for signal and turnout control sound interesting too. Regards Rob posted: 22 Oct 2017 10:50 from: Charles Orr Hi, I have been a member of MERG for at least the last 10 years, Templot even longer. I have built a full CBUS DCC system, comprising a handset, command station and boosters. I use it to control my still evolving layout. I started many years ago with a ZTC system, changed to Lenz and now CBUS DCC. I'm very happy with the precise, flexible control it provides and would thoroughly recommend it. So for me it's TEMPLOT for track and MERG for control ...
211. TDV feedback
... topic: 1650 TDV feedback posted: 10 Oct 2011 16:11 from: leo_sandstrom Hi This is a bit overdue but I feel that its finally time for me to provide some feedback. Ill start by saying that I have finally scaled the initial learning cliff, and I now have some basic understanding of how the program works. But to be honest I have not delved to deep into advanced track templates yet due to a lack of time. When I start the normal Templot as a new user I was faced with a program panel. Pressing the X in the top hand corner closes the program, quess what the first thing I did, I closed Templot because I wanted to get rid of the program panel. For a Windows user it makes no sense to press the workpad button when you start the program. Look at 95% of the office programs, you start with a blank screen and possibly some tooltip help and then you start working. (or an empty template) A great example is Solidworks where you start with a ribbon ...

Derek posted: 3 May 2010 09:10 from: roythebus Going back to the days when I built the MRC's New Annington layout, we built the oo track with scale 6' spacing with superelevation on the curves. Of course the stock hit each other, when we realised we should have allowed for the underscale gauge! We had to rebuild the curved section to allow for this. I can't remember what track spacing we used, but it was more a case of trial and error in those days. but as others have said, do allow for axle end ...
213. Point templates
... Oct 2010 21:05 from: Phil O Hi Nigel First it would help to know which version of Templot you are using as some versions have differernt approach to how to get at SHOVE TIMBERS which is where you add or remove sleepers or timbers plus other changes to them. I would not start on partial templates until you have mastered the more basic elements of Templot, have you worked through the various tutorials? because with this you won't be able to run before you can walk. Cheers Phil posted: 9 Oct 2010 10:19 from: Nigel Osborne Thankyou for the reply the version I am using is v:0.91.c.The reason I would like to construct a template for these points is that they save space which I have little of.

I tried to open Templot, but when it tried to check for the latest version, there was an error message "Sorry, unable to connect to the Templot website. Please check your internet connect and then try again." I restarted the computer, but with the same result. I then manually downloaded and installed version 2.15.d, but with the same result. This was on the laptop running Windows 10 home 64-bit version. I then tried to open Templot 2.13.a on the desktop computer, also running Windows 10 home 64-bit version, but get the same result.

There's probably a good chance that if you print off the Templot file, it won't overlay exactly your C&L template. However, I chose to keep the diamond crossing angle at 1:4.5 rather than make it fit my copy of the paper template. The centre V-crossings work better at 1:7.5, ...

... because using a previous inkjet printer, an Epson 820 Photo Printer, I was able to align these bang on and this has always amazed me. My current new printer is a Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. I have to add, this is after a fresh install of the software running 0.91c. Would appreciate any thoughts people may have on this, and whether I have Templot set correctly.

220. Blackwell Road
... topic: 987 Blackwell Road posted: 10 Dec 2009 01:48 from: ClikC I've been working on this for the past few days. Still needs a good tidy up and a session of timber nudging, along with adding the slip roads to the diamond for the yard (Which I've already completed on an older version of the plan). The layout itself is a small parcels depot and TMD based loosely in the location of Blackwell road in Carlisle and primarily serving the Cumbrian Coast Line circa 1974/5. Bottom most track is just a loop with holding sidings, the track above it exits to the hidden storage. The first point (C10) serves the TMD which features a two road shed, refueling road/ head-shunt and a siding (A7) for a couple of TTA wagons of diesel. I'd like to hear any comments and suggestions regarding tidying up the plan. And while I'm without doubt that the overall plan is highly unrealistic, I'd appreciate input as to anything I can do to increase realism overall. For instance ...
