... just to contain them all. Plus new "shove chairs" functions to make them adjustable on each timber. This below is with equalized timbers. 2_171925_020000000.png Which means it will be possible only to include a basic experimental output in the next program update, otherwise it will be delayed for months. I know for DXF substitution you need only the block markers, but the chair outlines are needed so that you can see what you are doing. And everyone else can see them. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Jan 2016 02:54 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Martin, Thank you for the update. Please don't hold up the next release for this If you can include the single block marker that is oriented correctly at each rail gauge-line/timber center-line intersection, that will still be a huge step forward. What I would do with it then is to import a 2D Templot dxf into cad and substitute three bolt chairs for all those markers. From there it is really simple to highlight, for example, all the chairs ...
... which may even have been the Kodak, and I wish I still had the photos I took then. The photo at the bottom is technically awful, but was taken with the SX720 of the recent "supermoon". It was windy, I think the exposure was about 1s, and the shot was taken using the timer so that I was nowhere near the camera when the shutter fired. I nearly deleted it, but actually I really like it, warts and all! 105_280853_160000000.jpg 105_280854_140000000.jpg posted: 28 Feb 2018 18:02 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, I think that post should have been hand-written with a fountain pen and Quink.

... of the Southwark Bridge Models range- see this page. The kits are quite fiddly to assemble and a good test for your soldering capabilities (well, that's what I found with the Summerson lever), but produce a most acceptable result. I guess that on the full size railway the most commonly used lever reproduced in the Southwark Bridge range is the Wiliams, two of which I have just purchased for our Burnham layout.

I've been playing with Templot a lot recently and I'm feeling a lot more confident. Whilst I agree it's good to learn from mistakes I was hoping someone could suggest a good route to build up my track plan. Where should I start, the simple crossover and work from there? Thank you in anticipation. Alex posted: 12 Sep 2008 14:16 from: Andrew Campbell You might find ...
... transfer the settings from the control template into all of them. Now they should print and/or PDF showing the rail foot edges, and if you save them to a file, they will always do so. note that only background templates can be printed with the rail foot edges. They are not available when printing the control template. Nor can they appear on the trackpad screen -- output formats only. This is an interim function in the present versions of Templot. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Aug 2012 02:23 from: Mark C Martin, Thanks- worked like a charm! Sure isn't very intuitive, though.

... topic: 288 Double Slips and Switch-Diamonds posted: 20 Dec 2007 02:24 from: Gordon S Hi Martin and fellow Templotters, still making good progress and finally cracked how to 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! The fix is very simple. From the menus, it is ...
... turnouts have a curviform crossing. The question is though, how should I have done it so that the turnouts align correctly without all the trial and error faffing about, based on the positions of the diverging tracks being fixed? (I know the timbering is wrong- I haven't started shoving yet!) Attachment: attach_414_632_diverging_crossover .jpg 302 posted: 17 Nov 2008 01:49 from: Richard Spratt Isn't it like turnout 7 in the first tutorial? http://www.templot.com/martweb/tut5a.htm Richard posted: 17 Nov 2008 02:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Richard Not really, because in that tutorial the turnout is placed, then the exit track pegged onto it. On my plan the positions of the tracks are already defined, and the crossover needs to fit into what's already there. The attached picture shows what I was starting from. I did use the 'make transition curve' function to give me a nice s-curve between the two lines, but I couldn't get a turnout to line up with both the running lines and the ...
... to what they are!) I think I understand where the confusion has crept in: Here's Gordon's original scan linked from RMweb: (image) There are two double slips in the station throat, and a plain diamond -crossing accessing the turntable from the loco release road. I was assuming that you were intending to change the 'diamond' in the original plan not the 'diamonds' in the file. I should have paid more attention to the plurality of diamonds in your message! Cheers. Brian posted: 13 Nov 2007 02:08 from: Peter Ayre Here's Gordon's original scan: cjf_terminus.png© C J Freezer This track plan is from the Peco book of "Track plans for various locations" (the green cover). The book has been reprinted several times and even though it states the first print was 1989 there is a note from CJF that the book is an update of ideas and plans. I think minories is included as a plan in the book and of course that has just celebrated 50 years. Peter Ayre posted: 13 Nov ...
... it into my version. I do not want to release anything which writes OTBOX files without this byte set. This is solely to identify the source of the file, it is not read on normal loading so doesn't prevent any existing OTBOX files from loading. I think a firmer stance on this is justified, but this should be fine, given that (hopefully) the OTBOX format will be short-lived and we will be able to use a text-based format shortly.

... topic: 468 First Track Plan Attempt posted: 28 Jun 2008 02:17 from: Mark B. Hi All, First I had better introduce myself. I'm Mark Burgess and whilst having had Templot for a few years now have only really played with it. This is a plan from an Iain Rice book called Witheridge based on the Culm Valley railway. I scanned the plan into Templot and overlaid the track onto it as accuratley as possible. I therefore have added the file to this post (if I have done it right) for you to see. Hopefully if I have made any real errors the experts out there can help me out I look forward to comments both good and bad. Regards, Mark Attachment: attach_294_468_witheridge4.box 431 posted: 28 Jun 2008 02:34 from: Phil O Hi Mark I have had a quick look at your track plan and there are four turnouts with a radius of 23" or less.

... it's an impressive piece of software for the money. But now we have Google Sketchup, which is free. See: topic 174 topic 212 I've downloaded and installed it, but not yet really got into it, so maybe others can advise further. There is a massive online resource of 3D objects to use in your Sketchup designs. However, I also have the Cadrail demo, and I will have a look at what's going on in the DXF import there. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Feb 2008 23:02 from: BeamEnds I have had quite a good play with SketchUp- and it is really quit amazing!

... topic: 418 New Laptop plus Vista posted: 25 Apr 2008 02:22 from: Brian Tulley Hi all, I'm expecting delivery of a new laptop that has Vista pre-installed (try buying one with XP...) and I suspect doesn't come with Vista Disks (I think you have to create backup disks after delivery). Having searched this forum I'm under the impression that there may be some issues when running Templot with Vista (is this still the case Martin?) I have a copy of XP Pro on CD that hasn't been loaded onto another machine. Can I partition the drive of the new machine and install XP onto the second partition, leaving Vista where it was? Can I then run Templot via XP somehow? Has anyone tried this please, and is it straightforward? The last thing I want is for it to go horribly wrong on a new laptop.... Or shall I wait for Martin to Vista-ise Templot? Thanks. Brian. posted: 25 Apr 2008 02:25 from ...

You wrote: You do not need templates or layout generating programmes- although our system will work well with Templot and similar. With no more than a back of envelope sketch, you use the bases to create the track formation, glue them down. If you don't have a detailed track plan before creating the plan directly by glueing down the bases, how do you know which turnout sizes to order? regards, Martin ...
