... the better. Based on your information it looks as if I'm not too far off. BTW, in case you had not already guessed, my ulterior motive for posting here was the possibility that someone might take this to the next level. It's beyond my capability, but I'm pretty sure someone "skilled in the art" could cook up a program that automatically combines models derived from Templot with models of the appropriate chairs to produce a stereo lithography file that can be fed to a 3D printer. Cheers!Andy posted: 10 Aug 2015 07:59 from: Les G My local Maker-Space has a number of 3d printers; I have been custodian-between-meetings for one of them for about 18months. During that time we have encountered a number of limitations of printer capability. The relevant issue with printing sleeper and chair as a component, is that the home DIY printers deposit plastic onto a plate, on ours it is heated glass. This deposition process means that any overhangs are unsupported. Test prints of arch-like components ...

... May 2020 12:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, From memory your roundy-roundy layout is squarish, about 15ft/4500mm square? A panel 800mm x 400mm isn't the least bit squarish, so I'm wondering what you have in mind. Is the whole layout going on one panel? Or several panels? With 7mm dia LEDs, the closest track spacing to keep things looking clear is probably at 5mm centres. If your layout track spacing is 50mm, that means the scale of the mimic diagram is 1:10. So that would mean a diagram 450mm square. Which 800x400 isn't? Templot has a function to draw the track centre-lines only, at any width, irrespective of the gauge of the rails (and in the marker colours), which may help you make a panel. Can you post a screenshot of what you mean by jagged track edges? That may just be your screen resolution, it would print smooth. Traditionally a steam-era railway would be controlled from a signal box diagram and a row of ...

Can you then convert the diamond into a double slip? posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:05 from: Stephen Freeman Yes but depends on the angles being sensible of course. posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:10 from: Damien Morris 43e042e20647a2d60012e447214bc442.p ng I'm trying it with the left one, and the angles are really shallow, but I think the one on the right will be tight.

... Templot Club. Great to see an ambitious main line project. You're right that it's a challenging design, because you want to include as much as possible of your existing pointwork while hopefully creating a flowing "Templot" design for new handbuilt curved pointwork. Before you began handbuilding you sent me some scans of your existing 00 pointwork, which I matched for you in Templot. The straight turnouts were a good match to A-7, and the diamonds matched 1:7 too. The curved turnout was near a C-10, but not such a good match: gordon_scans.png gordon_scans_a7.png I tried using these for the CJF terminus plan, and managed to fit it within your 5400mm space, without losing any platform length. The goods yard access needed a changed design to keep a long enough head-shunt, but otherwise it's a straight conversion to 1:7 angle of CJF's original design. But it does look rather angular, and the sharp approach curves look very cramped. It would obviously be much more attractive and create a longer-look effect ...
... topic: 1824 Flipping track! posted: 10 Feb 2012 09:15 from: Mike Waldron Good Morning all: I have been working on 3-way interlaced turnouts- both with mixed and similar point types- B8/ B6 as well as B6 /B6 each way. my question is: once you have produced the exact track formation what you want, and found that you also need the other-handed version, is there a way to group the whole formation and just flip it in mirror image? Do I have to go through the whole building process all over again?

I am using Windows 10, the latest edition of McAfee Internet security, can anyone advise or help. Norman posted: 7 Sep 2017 12:00 from: Martin Wynne Hi Norman, Which file? Check that it has not been set to read-only. Have you copied any files via a CD? Where are you installing Templot? Don't use the Windows Program Files folders. It was tested here on Windows7 and Windows10 without problems. There are no significant changes from the previous version install, did that one go ok? Try right-clicking on the downloaded file, and then Run As Administrator. Try switching off your McAfee while installing.

... S-W Hi Godders I only actually know one person personally who built a 00-sf layout but he scrapped it to build a p4 one. Having said that Phil did likewise with Calcutta and that was EM. Its one of the reasons I said I do actually support better track as ultimately it gets people looking and (in my experience) they choose p4 of thier own bat. Truth is if I'd have used 00sf I wouldn't have saved any time at all on the track building front and to be fair the 10 mins or so it takes to swap wheels from OO to p4 is insignificant compared to the time it takes to detail and weather the stock.

... the gauge and scale (or several other reloaded settings) in the control template, so you can start a fresh design with your preferred settings intact. (Assuming they were in the last template loaded). I can't put gauge and scale in the user preferences because it is a template setting -- every template can have a different gauge and scale if you wish. Multiple scales in one plan isn't much needed, but frequently you might have more than one track gauge. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Mar 2009 10:21 from: Brian Lewis Martin Wynne wrote: {== Gosh!

... topic: 299 NER sleepered single junctions posted: 4 Jan 2008 20:10 from: Bob Ellis Hi Martin, Several months ago you were kind enough to create a North Eastern Railway 1:8 sleepered single junction template for me, which I have found very useful. The conversion of my garage into a bespoke railway room is now nearly complete and I want to get down to finalising the design of the layout that will go into it. This will be a pre-grouping NER layout in P4, so I have started trying to produce my own single junctions to various sizes between 1:6.25 and 1:8.75. I can produce the V-crossing I want and I can create the correct sizes of sleepers and shove them into position, but I am not sure what to do about the switch. I know NER switches were non-standard and I presume I therefore need to construct a custom switch. There are tables in the NER Permanent Way Standards that give me the length of switch for each angle of single junction, ...
... topic: 3498 4mm/ft mixed-gauge 9mm and 16.2mm posted: 10 Sep 2019 09:39 from: RedgateModels I'm planning a small layout with dual gauge standard and narrow gauge trackwork, this will involve some turnouts, with the narrow gauge track joining and leaving the standard gauge section, but also a custom built standard gauge turnout too. Will be using code 80 rail throughout (I have a lot of Peco "crazy track" to rob) Should I make the jump to OO-SF for the standard gauge trackwork? any pitfalls especially with the inclusion of narrow gauge flangeways etc or does the closer flangeways of OO-SF actually make sense in this application? posted: 10 Sep 2019 12:45 from: Ariels Girdle Depends on the wheels you plan to use for the stock. Much modern NG stock (eg Bachmann) has relatively fine flanges that will run through pointwork to P4 standards (I have tried!). If you already have stock then maybe best to do your own testing as few people actually do this ...
... draw a double slip. Simple question however. When converting a turnout from say a B7 to a half diamond the various gaps and check rails all seem in place at the centre of the crossing. When I select a C10 turnout though and convert to a diamond crossing, the rails at the centre of the crossing are all together and no gaps exist. (Apologies for not knowing the technical terms for the various component parts of a crossing). Does this mean you cannot build a conventional double slip using a 1:10 crossing? Do you have to generate a completely different form of double slip? Last edited on 20 Dec 2007 02:25 by Gordon S posted: 20 Dec 2007 02:39 from: Paul Boyd Ah-ha- I had this the other day!

... topic: 330 Pug version 091c posted: 7 Feb 2008 10:13 from: Martin Wynne Update: Version 091c remains available( Click to Download) if you have a valid Templot lock-release code. However if you have an internet connection on your computer you should upgrade to Templot2 which does not require a lock-release code. Templot2 has many new features since version 091c which is now over 5 years old. Download and more information about Templot2 here: message 10771 February 2008:( Just a reminder that Templot 091c (not Templot2) needs a default local printer -- not a network printer -- to be able to run. A physical printer is not necessary, only the printer driver is needed. A virtual printer such as a fax driver or PDF generator will do fine.

... to try printing chairs (or exactopips) directly onto ply or limewood or plastic timbers, placed into some sort of jig or locator printed first. Lots of ideas to try, but I fear the as-supplied software isn't going to be much use for them and I shall have to write something myself. I have already been editing the g-code manually to get anything to work at all.

I am a fan of thin timbering as they generally suit the kinds of layout I am likely to model where well tended ballast isn't the norm. Think goods depots, loco sheds, industrial sites and such like. I tend to favour plastikard timbers with thickness to suit- the 0.020"(0.5mm) is good but it precludes printing the bases with webbing between the timbers. It would ...
... gauge means that the V-crossing (frog) falls within the switch itself, and some closure timbering needs to be omitted. Ideally you need to create a custom switch* to fit. If you let me know some information about Gn15, such as typical rail width, flangeway gap, etc. I can help you further, but at present I'm in unknown territory. *A "switch" in the UK and Templot means only the moving points section, NOT an entire turnout. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2007 03:00 from: Simon Dunkley Gn15 is generally "G" scale (it tends to be a bit variable) suing 00/H0 mechanisms.

... real track work- and unusual trackwork at that. I am considering modelling something based on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway which is of course a 15" gauge railway. I will be be building in 1:22.5 scale using a model gauge of 16.5mm- probably using Peco code 100 rail. I have some books on the railway and my first problem is trying to understand the descriptions of the turnouts- they are described as follows... Originally 1 in 8 crossing and 7' switches Later changed to 1 in 10 with 9' switches... The problem is I don't really know what that means and I am going to need to know if I have any chance of drawing them in Templot I know the sleeper sizes and have some idea of the sleeper spacings and have managed to draw some straight and curved panels so far I think drawing the points is going to be a real challenge let alone making them So could some explain the descriptions to me please posted: 11 Dec 2014 15:00 from: Trevor Walling Hello, ...
