... in place while the show runs isn't practical. I'm still learning my way with this software, please ignore any slight glitches. Alexander is still working on the controls, so there are likely to be some changes. Several users have asked for a "replay from start" button, so that there is no need for the endless looping. There is also a lot of stuff which I left off, such as the "share on Facebook" social media functions. cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Jul 2019 08:10 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have just tried it on my laptop running Win 10 and on the last one, I have to scroll down to get the play buttons which then cuts the top off the display, my screen resolution is set to the recomended 1366 x 768.

... find attached a simple library for 009. It consists of a track length and a 1:6 turnout Using the storage box click add library... and navigate to the .box file You can select these items and copy to the control template for easy use. I based these designs on Vale of Rheidol and Lynton and Barsntaple information These were designed in Templot 0.91c but using in the TDV is OK as they will be converted with no problems.

... 091c, although I have changed some of them. The problem is that many folks have Windows set not to show the underlined accelerator keys until you press ALT. If you do that on a pop-up context menu, it kills the menu! Well done Mr. Gates. So I added the extra letters on the menu captions so that everyone can see them regardless. There isn't actually any changed program functionality at all. Likewise on the shove timbers dialog. All the buttons have accelerator keys and using the keyboard is 10 times faster than clicking them with the mouse. Now in Windows 7 you can't even get the underlines to show by pressing ALT. But they do still work. I can't believe that Windows 95 was actually quicker to use. So in due course I will add the extra letters to all buttons and menu items everywhere. It seems crazy to have such a useful feature fully working, but no-one can use it because you can't see which letter to press. regards, Martin. posted: 22 May 2011 12 ...

... topic: 1415 Printing templates on A3 posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:26 from: brianlwood I have a query with regard to printing templates from Templot. I currently print in A4 then marry the sheets together, no problems there. However, I am considering buying an A3 printer. Is there a way that I can then print onto A3 paper and get all of a turnout on such paper. Kind Regards, Brian Wood. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:44 from: Stephen Freeman Maybe. Depends on the Turnout/scale of course. 0 Gauge A6 on Super A3 will fit, anything much bigger will need 2 sheets. You could of course go for an A3 printer that will print on roll paper if that's an issue. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Yes, Templot prints to whatever paper size you have set on the printer. If you set the printer to print A3 size, that will be the size of the pages from Templot. They will fit together by ...

... topic: 2591 Storage Yard efficient useage posted: 8 Dec 2014 10:30 from: Godfrey Earnshaw My proposed layout is basically a horseshoe. The storage/fiddle yards will be on one leg of the horseshoe. My question is what is the best arrangement to come from the "horse shoe" toe into the storage yard to give the maximum length of siding in the leg. I am working in 00-SF, the entrance curve is minimum 915mm (36") radius. The sidings are on 60mm centres. I have utilised 1 in 8 curved turnouts and tools>make branchtrack. From this branchtrack I have constructed a transition to the adjacent parallel track. This is repeated, working outwards, until the requisite number, of tracks, is constructed. At the moment this is four. Supplementary question; would I be better using a curviform V-crossing?

... at that point we found out who had followed the guidelines and who had not! Of course, over successive OS versions they have completely re-arranged all the directory structures/ folder names etc, but programmes written to the 15 year old guidelines continue to work fine. So here is the answer to your question Martin:- the "problem it causes" is that Templot is not "system independent" thus, if they *ban* writing (or installations) to the root directory in WIN 8/9 /10 Templot will not work. You then have a re-write forced on you OR we as users cannot upgrade our machines. Having said all that, and recognising the long development path (no pun!) of Templot, I really sympathise and fully agree that there are more important things in which to to invest your precious programming time! In any case, we will probably all be long dead before Microsoft mess with C:/ !! Nigel, with respect, Windows did not start as a competitor to " ...

Hi, Yes they are not a "scale" item. You are up against the limits of injection moulding. Heat, flow rate and the thinness of section. It is the same reason that cockpit canopies in modern kits of aircraft are still so thick. Also from memory they do hold the rail. Any thiner and probably there wouldn't be the robustness that the task requires. Like any of these items it is a toss up for manufacturer for accuracy, successful manufacturing,market penetration and end use. It is ...
