81. Templot Fault
... twice and Templot froze. I got a message saying List index out of bounds (- 1) and my track has disappeared even if I click the ok button it still stays open. The only way to close it is to close Templot. I wish I could display a picture of it so you could see what I mean. Hi Len, Thanks for the report. "List index out of bounds (- 1 )" while shoving timbers is a long-standing bug which I have been trying to nail for 10 years. There are a few topics here which refer to it. Fortunately it occurs very rarely. Do you think you can remember exactly what you were doing at the time and the sequence of clicks you made? Because simply following your description I have been unable to reproduce it. How many timbers had previously been shoved? Had you added or removed any bonus timbers? Had you omitted or restored any timbers? Did you start from a mint turnout or by copying one from the background? By the way, is ...

I thought you were asking about the plain track settings? regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jul 2012 15:33 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Alan, I notice in your file that you have the rails set to FB, but the switch is an REA bullhead size. posted: 27 Jul 2012 16:10 from: Alan McMillan Hi Martin I'm trying to make sure that my modified sleeper spacings are correct for all new templates I create in my new plan before I start it. I'm hoping to avoid having to go back and modify things later on as I'm a great one for forgetting details like that until I've done a ton of work. The REA turnout was used simply because I wanted to check that the modified spacings would appear and since it was the first one to come up I didn't bother to change it. In ...
... topic: 894 Help diagnosing real world clamp lock turnout posted: 10 Jul 2009 13:09 from: m davies I've been on a little field trip for photos of modern trackwork, the objective is for prototype information for fine 7mm modeling and an attempt to come to grips with turn out naming and the real world. Attached a reduced image of the turnout (B1312) at Ipswich, I'm confused about what look like blocks between the rails (circled green) above the slide blocks (circled white), are these rubber ?, the blocks circled red are clearly substantial ironworks, I do have the COP document GK/RC0774 open here but haven't or don't seem to have found that page yet. Using Templot and sleeper spacings I've kind of guessed its a C or D 13, the crossing is definately 1:13 as stamped, its the length or full designation I'm after.

I first built OO standard trackwork, but the gaps (for the wheelsets then available) looked so bad that I went to P4. Admittedly I was recreating a particular place, and wanted all the timbers in the right place...... it just wasn't possible with the compromises in OO. alan@york posted: 2 Mar 2014 10:44 from: Martin Wynne Hi Murry, The file which you posted was for GOG-F gauge so I assume you mean the various options for 7mm scale standard gauge? which are: GOG-F -- 32mm gauge, 1.75mm flangeways. Traditional 0 gauge, but no longer recommended because the currently available wheels are not wide enough to run properly over the V-crossings (frogs). 0-MF -- 31.5mm gauge, 1.5mm flangeways. This has now become the preferred standard for use with all ...

I've not been on Templot for a while, (last update was 2.14b I think) so when today I got the automatic invitation to update to the latest, 2.15d, I ran the updater leaving all directories unchanged as usual only to find that it crashes every time with the following error screen: 2_011812_330000000.png Worse still, when clicking on Abort and it then says 'rolling back' this does not work and leaves me with a non-functioning program and the error message: 2_011812_530000000.png I have tried a complete un-install and download but that does not help either. posted: 31 Oct 2017 17:57 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, The problem is caused by some anti-virus programs.

I'm looking to select either turnout for example, for printing extra copies. I'm still missing something. Cheers Max posted: 1 Jan 2014 10:35 from: Alan Turner You certainly do seem to be missing something and appear to go about things in the most convoluted manner possible. When you design your template or group of templates you save them as you have been told before. When you want to work on them again you re-load them, again as you have been told before. I have been using Templot for 10 years now and I can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I have needed to visit the storage box. ...

The group still contains a full archive of all 15,936 messages posted between then and now: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/messages/ In that time we have also gained 870 members. So thanks to everyone for making Templot Club what it is. We are not the biggest or most active model railway forum on the web, but we are one of the longest established.

Crossover does not. Downgrading to Catalina is technically possible but a significant faff. Roy- I suggest turning off the Windows updater! You can generally get windows 10 licences for much less than the cost of crossover. If you don't activate windows 10 it will still work fine, but you won't be able to do things like change the background of the desktop or connect to more than just the security updates. On windows 10 home edition you cannot disable windows update entirely, it will keep downloading and installing them regardless. If you have the pro edition you have some more options, but it will still reboot itself to install updates. posted: 8 Dec 2020 14:51 from ...

... change "Two Rail Scale" to 0 (zero). Then with only the track centre-lines showing, you can export the DXF file, and finally import it into Templot. Edit 2012: XtrkCad is now called XTrackCAD. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Jun 2008 11:19 from: Paul Hamilton Thank you Martin for the response and please excuse the tardiness in replying. I guess I don't quite see the complete advantage in using the CJF when the design will be distorted by the resizing. In the 10' direction this would be a 10% distortion. I would doubt that the track layout is disctorted by 10% in the use of Peco templates versus smooth curves however it really is a mute point I imagine. As such I wondered if there would be value in simply capturing pieces of the CJF plan, particularly where pointwork is at the most concentrated and using those as discrete back grounds. I am assuming I may be best to create discrete pieces, probably no more than three or four looking at the plan and ...
... topic: 3609 Turnout side or main side posted: 10 Feb 2020 17:51 from: ikcdab I get confused by these terms! It is obvious when the template is a turnout, but when the template is a plain piece of track, how do i know which is which?I ask because when i have a plain piece of track and i wish to double it, i never know whether to select TS or MS. At the moment i just guess and normally i get the opposite one. I did think it might be related to the peg position, but i have tried moving the peg to the other end of the plain track and TS is still the same side.... posted: 10 Feb 2020 18:39 from: Jim Guthrie On plain track there is a line across one end of the template just a bit longer than the sleepers. On one end of this line is a square box. That indicates the "M" side of the template. Martin will probably be along soon with full chapter ...
... topic: 124 00-SF history and information posted: 10 Aug 2007 05:25 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, There has been a rather acrimonious discussion about 00-SF on the RMweb forum today in which my name has been mentioned. I thought I would write a few notes about the background to 00-SF. Please feel free to copy this to RMweb or the 00-SF group if you wish. I myself have manufactured hundreds of 00-SF turnouts and sold them to very satisfied customers. They weren't actually called "00-SF" at the time, I just called them "00 extra fine". Some were on plain copper-clad timbering. Some were on my milled copper-laminate timbers with raised chairing effect. They all worked just fine as advertised. What follows is my best recollection of events more than 30 years ago. After all this time I confess my memory is much less than perfect, so if anyone reading this knows different, please do say. I could probably find out ...
... topic: 1424 Wider Sleepers on track panel ends posted: 18 Mar 2011 21:58 from: Rob Manchester Hello, I thought that there was an option in Templot to make the end sleepers within each track panel of wider wood than the rest( 12" v 10"). I see it can be done by using the Shove Timbers part of the program but is it available anywhere else ?? I want to use 30' panels as per one of the standard options in 'Rail Lengths and Sleeper Spacings' but want wider timbers at the end of each panel as well as closer spacing between them. Need to do this otherwise can't use up the 10% mix of 12" sleepers that Brian Lewis supplies in his 10" timber tracks sleeper packs....

For those of you that aren't, here is the link. http://www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f =9 &t =5707 I have just posted the Box file there, but cannot post the background shapes to go with it, so I will post them here. Be aware that some of the files are quite large.

My god could you make this any harder ?, two hours later and I still have no single slip. I have the diamond crossing and I've parked the switch heel template but then trying to get the thing to peg where I want it is a complete mystery. Why can't Templot just use a simple drag and drop user interface like any other windows based program?.

Regards Richard posted: 26 Jul 2009 20:58 from: Richard Lambert Hi Alan I've now tried it in place, and It's a huge turnout! It looks far too, well, spread out in the yard. I had in my mind something far more cramped. If the inner radius is tightened to say 5' (and whatever seems best for the other 2 radii- 7'6'' and 10'?) and the whole thing made as short as possible, what would it look like then? I don't know if that will even make sense, but at the moment, I would be better off with 2 normal turnouts than the 3 way. It does look magnificent though. Thanks.
