... .> This makes the bending of the wing rail quite complex as the axis of the bend has to be off the vertical to maintain the 1:20 inclination either side of the bend. The check rail extention is therefore just fishplated onto the end of the parallel wing rail. Modern flatbottom P&C is of course different as the rails within the Turnout are vertical and incorporate a twist in the rail between adjacent timbers to change between vertical and 1:20 inclination at the outer ends.

They are used where the crossover tracks are sharply curved, or where the check and wing rails are so close together that there isn't room for at least two clear timbers between them. I'm not sure this is a formal rule though, practice seems to vary a lot. Anyone? Martin. Hi Martin, Geoff. ...
... topic: 3108 Update download installation blocked by Panda posted: 13 Oct 2017 10:19 from: Jon Timothy Hi, I run my laptop with Windows 10, and have successfully used Templot for 2-3 years. I have recently updated my security to Panda Adaptive Defense 360. When I tried to update my Templot to the latest version, the following occurred: I clicked on the update now button on the Templot start screen. The download proceeds normally, and creates an .exe file called Templot 2 setup. User account control allows me to download this file, and I am able to extract the file normally. When I then try to open the file, I get a setup error message from Panda as follows:" Unable to execute file C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\templot_2.exe Create process failed code 5 Access is denied" In the Panda Adaptive Defense 360 list of latest detected threats, C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\templot_2.exe is listed as an Execution attempt, and is Blocked.

... motors (or only one if you make a suitable rocking crank device to drive both K-crossing switches from a single motor). Switch-diamonds are mandatory if the crossing angle is flatter than 1:8* and Templot automatically swaps to a switch-diamond at these angles, unless you change the settings. *or less in curved track. For some more information about all this, click: topic about switch-diamonds.

As I'm hoping to use bullhead rail it was the first of Martin's diagrams that grabbed my attention and, whilst I understand the need for two motors working together but in opposite directions, I fail to see how this can work if both sets of point blades are fixed to a common shared central timber as shown on the diagram- the FB picture is understandable in this respect, ie two timbers, two motors. There's obviously a simple explanation ...
... i.e., in the "no print" margin of the printer) -- the printing stops at 3mm from the paper edge. This all means that the printed mosaic can't be assembled as it doesn't quite overlap on that edge. Is there any way to fudge the entire imate to the left by maybe 2mm, sacraficing some of the out-of-bounding-box stuff on that edge in favor of the missing image on the right edge? Thank you for any help you can give me. Joe posted: 10 Apr 2008 04:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Joe, I will answer your questions in separate messages. I'm having a printing problem as well. I'm using a Xerox Document Centre 440PS at work at the moment. It's been calibrated. It prints properly, but print area seems to be running into the "no print margin" of the printer. It sounds as if the printer driver is mis-reporting the paper dimensions to Templot instead of the printable area dimensions. There may be a setting somewhere for " ...
... power of the peg and notch functions to join and align anything to anything. But it's surprising how far you can get without ever needing either method. I recommend that you watch the above video and then practise doing the same and more on a blank pad to become familiar with Templot's methods.

... topic: 1195 Printing problem posted: 10 Aug 2010 12:57 from: Des Norman Hi all, Have run through tutorial, read notes on printing, created and saved printer config. file- but can't get printing to work properly. Have 1 turnout on the pad after a fresh start, covering 2 A4 sheets. When I select print/preview current pages, shows a1, a2. Click 'all remaining pages' only results in 1st page being printed then printer locks up still showing 2nd page outstanding. Selected saved config file when asked. Windows start/printers, double-click on printer shows document status as printing. Highlighting and selecting restart ineffective. If I start afresh and omit 1st page, click print all remaining pages, this one page still won't print. Feel as though I've hit a brick wall already. Any suggestions please?

... topic: 405 Menu pops up on other monitor posted: 10 Apr 2008 00:02 from: jeckardt [using Templot v0.91.c] I'm running a Windows XP pro dual-headed system. The desktop spans both monitors. Templot runs fine in this environment but... I will often put Templot in a window, then move and resize the window to use the entire right (# 2) monitor. Then I bring up notes or whatever on the left (# 1) monitor to work from. This works fine except that the left-click pop-up menu associated with background templates always pops up on the extreme left edge of the desktop... in this case that's the left edge of monitor #1 even though templot is running on monitor #2. So in the best of cases I have to mouse across both monitors to get to that menu. In the worst case I'm so focused on the templot window that I don't realize the menu popped up on the other monitor and keep clicking the mouse waiting for the ...
... Martin and others users available quickly. Templot is one of the most rewarding software packages I have ever used and I'm very happy to show anyone my shortcuts. It really is very easy. Support from Martin is first class and I would hate to see that suffer preparing a manual that will will be of little use to many. Getting into the programme quickly is the key and that probably is the element that is missing for me.

I too just dived in, and have enjoyed working out a considerable number of different plans in Templot over many years now (yes, it's a sad confession, but I enjoy using Templot for its own sake). During that time I have needed the on-line tutorials for only two aspects: making a slip, and joining two curves using the make transition technique. These were the only two things I've needed ...
... wanted an A3 I'd probably go for the R1800. It does go through a cleaning cycle on occasions, but not that often, and I reckon calculated on a cost per year basis I'm happy with it.

I've decided to have a go with the Canon iX7000. The iX4000 is the cheaper model but it doesn't have the option of a straight through path for heavier papers/card whereas the iX7000 has a rear paper feed which can handle up to 300gm paper. It has six cartridges rather than the four I would prefer but after a search around the Net ...

... topic: 2984 Windows 10 Possible Problem posted: 20 Feb 2017 15:09 from: PJW Martin After switching to Windows 10, I reloaded Templot on 08 February. I put the downloaded file through a virus check before installing, with no problems. Everything went well until last Friday 17 October. I exported to several scaled pdf files successfully. But suddendly, when exporting to a scaled pdf plan, my Kaspersky Internet Security came up with the following message: PDM.Trojun.Win32.Generic Location: c:\templot_dev/templot2.exe When I disinfected, Kaspersky had removed templot2.exe I downloaded the templot files again from your website, rescanned for viruses. All clear. Reinstalled. Ran Malware Bytes before running Templot. All clear. I ran Templot. As before, ok with standard work on templates, background shapes etc. Again, there was no problem initially with exporting to scaled pdfs, but again an error occurred. The result of disinfecting was to rempove templot2.exe. Any ideas what could be wrong? Many thanks, Patrick posted: 22 Feb 2017 15:30 ...
132. A3+ printer
... right now, the difference between A3 and A3+ is the difference between getting one board edge on a sheet of paper or two- the templates can also be used as baseboard build templates with joins in only one direction, as well as planning full size wiring runs, scenery, point motor positioning etc. Admittedly that only works for quite a narrow range of baseboard widths, but I'm in that range! Anyway, I thought someone might have found the info useful. Cheers, Paul posted: 1 Dec 2020 21:10 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote How old a version was that method used?

... topic: 729 Track Planning Strategy posted: 10 Feb 2009 13:56 from: JimH Hi All, I'm in the process of planning a model of Wolverhampton Low Level "laying" track over the 1919 OS map of the area. It's proving challenging and rewarding to use Templot, and it gives a real sense of achievement when you finally get a complex formation to work and align correctly- particularly as I know it mimics the prototype exactly. My question after many false starts and mistakes is really in regard to where one should start to plan from. In relation to the photograph attached- I started from the tunnel mouths and basically worked back towards where the camera was. I ended up with lots of templates that needed "joining" and as a result had to jigger about a lot with make transitions etc. some of which could not be calculated. wolves_low_tracks_to_tunnel.jpg I was wondering do others have a strategy on where to start, from the middle and work outwards, end to end etc.? Interested to hear (read!) what ...

... template. Next, repeat the above slip road instructions for the two switches on the other side of the slip formation. Once done, you should now have an almost completed double slip, except for the tidying up, such as checking that nothing is fouling throughout the formation, such as tips of check& wing rails. I do hope this helps. All the best, Brian Nicholls.
