41. Track Plan 01
... a bit tight for 7mm scale? You might be able to move the crossover a bit to the right to get the PRO58 turnout on to a larger radius on the curve, but that has knock-ons to other turnouts. I seem to be forever designing continuous layouts in small spaces where curved turnouts are the norm, and you start to get a sense for the pinch points which can occur. Jim. posted: 12 Jan 2014 08:48 from: Murryb Jim Thanks for the comment. I can only see LNWR 6 wheels 30ft coaches being the longest on the layout Might need to move everything around to the right ie along the single track. I increased the centre on the double out to 90mm in case longer coaches appear. Could shorten the Platform. Murry posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Murry, Thanks for uploading your plan. It's looking good. The crossover on the left TR084/ TR107 is using D-7 turnouts. That's a rather unusual size combination, leading to an unnecessarily tight ...

Some components may need to be ordered, with the lead time that implies. I am pressing for priority to be given to the sorting out even if that means more products being unavailable in the short term." posted: 16 May 2018 19:42 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Would some kind Scalefour Society member( ie who can post on their forum) like to ask the following of Andrew Jukes to give some guidance to users of his track components: What are the timescales involved in moving the range away from Phil? Does he intend to sell BH rail? Does Phil currently have remaining stocks of parts? Are future sales likely to be just mail order? Thank you. I am glad Andrew will be ...

Hi John, I have no plans to do that. It is a condition of use of Templot2 that you allow it to connect to the internet. It is for you to provide the means for that to happen. Users agree the terms of use when installing the program.

This discussion has revealed that several checks are made to ascertain if Templot is the latest version. It follows that Templot must know the checks have failed. All this means is it cannot ascertain if ...
... below sea level it isn't likely to be a problem. I presume hilly areas will just have a printed surface rather than being solid down to sea level? Hi Rob, I don't "do" anything yet. As you pointed out, I've had the printer for only a week. I'm planning that the fill under the hills will be the usual 10% or whatever 3D grid fill structure. Or with dual nozzles it could be a water-sol support, to be washed out and replaced with something more long-term solid (Polyfilla?). 50K terrain contours are available free from OS: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/products/terrain-50.html So 25K is probably the largest I can go without the result looking "steppy". I would like to go larger, but the much preferable 5K terrain data is a paid-for product. It would be great to go right up to the 25" maps, or at least the 6", (as on NLS) but it would ...
... rather than a perfect detailed drawing. It doesn't actually matter when you come to build track on the template if there are unbroken rails under the crossing, provided you can see where all the rails go. You can download the file for a fully-worked set of 3-way tandem turnouts from the Samples and examples area. Hold down the SHIFT key or put the CAPS LOCK on, then run the mouse pointer over the template name labels to see all the partial templates. By the way, you have used the term "switch" to mean an entire turnout (rather in the way that some UK modellers use the term "point" to mean an entire turnout). If you do that you are likely to get very confused in Templot, because in Templot a switch is the moving points section only: startup_pad.png Templot is about track, so it uses the terms used by permanent way engineers rather than the terms used by railway operating and signalling staff. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Jul 2008 22:55 from: pimin ...
... 40 /+ years ago have been though many owners since they were originally drawn, often by hand. You couldn't email a CAD file to China for valve gear etches to be made in those days. What is my point exactly? Not sure but if anyone does have any views on the future of small suppliers this is where to put it.... Rob Rob I think the supply of track parts for 4 and 7 mm scales which both you and Nigel are eluding to are safe for both the short to medium term. The currant owner of C&L who is also the distributor of Exactoscale is not only looking to supply these items long term but also if possible increase the range. In addition to this in the medium term 3 D printing will not only become even better quality, but prices will come down massively (as did home printing for computers). I discussed this matter briefly with the owner of Modelu at Stevenage, who chatted through his own thoughts briefly with me. With 3 D printing costs reducing, perhaps this ...
... Crafted" to fit due to the historical evolvement of the station. Track layouts and formations at the station were very tight and confined. This was caused by the severe restrictions and limitations of the civil engineering, in particular, the exit/entrance tunnelling, when the station was first built and opened in 1854. Then when the Midland Railway came along a decade or two later, the same civil engineering restrictions still applied, so the MR had to make a very curved station, on their side, and join into the LNWR track-work at the London (Eastern) end of the station. They, the MR, did however, get a concession to make another tunnel at the Western end which had to be very close and next to the original LNWR tunnel. Also because of breakdowns in the early days MR insisted on joining into the LNWR tracks at the western end so that they, and the LNWR traffic could bypass areas of the station as and when required. In all, this made the track layout of the station very tight ...

Of course there is the possibility that Apple could encounter Intel's problems. Nigel They could perhaps, but the ARM cpus are designed in a very different way to the Intel x86 way. The Intel method currently uses a big die to pack everything on (conversely, AMD for Ryzen, use what is termed a chiplet approach, with effectively a modular design, which has made moving to 7nm and beyond much easier for them, and hence so much more competitive due to better yields etc on smaller die sizes, resulting in more chips per platter). Apple already has a lot of experience with designing their ARM cpus since the first A chip was put into an iDevice. They licence the base designs from ARM, and are then free to customise them however they please. Finding foundry capacity to make the chips is another matter ...
49. Catch points
... This is a set of catch* points at Castle Cary: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _02.jpg You can see the two-level baseplates under the rising turnout rail, and also the inner rail stops short of an extended check rail -- as in the GWR design which I posted earlier. The photographer obviously felt brave enough to go up on the footbridge! Notice some timber shoving in the foreground. Here's another pic of the same: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _01.jpg *Templot is about track so we'll use the traditional p.w. term "catch points". Nowadays the S&T dept. and the rule book call these "trap" points -- trailing "catch" points are the ones used on gradients. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2008 14:38 from: rodney_hills Hello, Another 'catch point' photo just spotted on RMweb inter alia something else: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=5233 From this page: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f =7 ...
... topic: 1458 Problems with 3way Tandem point posted: 17 Apr 2011 09:54 from: its_all_downhill Hi Temploters, I am having problems with a 3way Tandem point I am going to build in 2mmFS. I have followed Martin's video step by step and am confident up until the place where you rotate the K onto the background template no matter what I do I cannot get this to fit and cannot see where I am going wrong. I have to admit I have no clue when it comes to the prototype and alot of terms in Templot baffle me. I know I should know all these things and terms but I have managed to get this far blissfully ignorant. I would if someone could take a look and advise me where my problem arises and then I can complete this for my micro layout.

... topic: 1172 Connecting Stretcher Bars for Double Slips posted: 19 Jul 2010 20:32 from: Ian Spalding I'm trying to find out how stretcher bars on double slips were connected to either a point lever or to point rodding. I have drawings of how the stretcher bars are connected to the switch rails. But were the stretchers at one end of the slip connected together and then to the point lever/ rodding or were they driven separately or what? Principally interested in pre-grouping LSWR and LNWR but any prototype information would be appreciated.

... topic: 2939 Translation of templot posted: 23 Nov 2016 22:06 from: Jerome FAGOT Hello everyone and martin I know templot for a few years but I have decided to use it recently. This is a great software but I find it quite complex learning, especially for me who do not speak English. Are translations planned and if not, is there any way we can modify the menus to translate the terms into our language? Templot is exactly what I needed to plan my future N-scale network, which should be quite complex and large. In addition I love the switches, it is for me a real passion and I could spend hours in front of a railway station grill to study the changes of multiple tracks. My difficulty lies mainly in the fact that I can link the paths between them, the procedures seem to me long and very complex. A thousand thanks to Martin for inventing and writing this software.

... topic: 3627 Delphi Community Edition posted: 9 Mar 2020 13:55 from: Martin Wynne A short while ago there was some mention here of using the free Delphi Community Edition instead of Lazarus for T3: topic 3324- message 27710 At that time I downloaded and installed a copy of the Delphi Community Edition, but I have made no further use of it. I have today received a very stroppy email from Embarcadero reminding me of the licence terms for the Delphi Community Edition. I don't know if that has been sent to all users or only to me, but it's noticeable that it comes just 24 hours after I was searching the Embarcadero web site for old Delphi docs, see: topic 3607- message 29183 I have now uninstalled the Delphi Community Edition from my system.

... 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!

... topic: 2872 New to Templot- am I on the right lines? posted: 27 Apr 2016 21:06 from: RK Hello, I've put a couple of small O gauge layouts together in recent years, one using Peco track and points, the other using Peco track and Marcway ready-to-use point work. I'm now about to start on my big long term layout and have decided to take the plunge and have a go at hand-building all the scenic trackwork. Now this is something I've never done before, so I'm hoping somebody may be able to help and give me some guidance. I've used Templot to draw out the track plan and make sure everything works, I'm lucky in having a large area to use, fortunately. But before I start spending time on the detailed aspects and actual building, would anyone be prepared to look over the Templot file for me and check for any major mistakes I may have missed? Its things like: will signals fit between adjacent tracks, and whether coaches may catch on ...
... topic: 321 Using Steel Rail- long term implications? posted: 22 Jan 2008 17:09 from: Brian Tulley Hi all, Whilst realising there are many "for" and "against" voters for Steel Rail I'm pretty much in the "for" category (hypothetically, because I've never actually tried it). However, I recently heard that a Mr. Norman Solomon wasn't so keen on Steel Rail, preferring Nickel Silver instead. Apparently this is because he has found past problems with soldered joints eventually failing. Bearing in mind that I am contemplating Ply& rivet construction (dinosaur I know) which does have several soldered joints here and there, I was wondering what experiences others have found with regard to long term reliability of soldered joints with steel rail? Fortunately the layout will be located in (what was) a bedroom, so corrosion etc. won't be too much of an issue I hope. Many thanks. Best Regards, Brian. posted: 22 Jan 2008 19:45 from: Bob Ellis Hi Brian, I ...
... left. cheers, Martin. posted: 2 May 2018 13:00 from: Martin Wynne As I mentioned, with only 3 weeks to go we are now hearing a lot about the GDPR and getting emails about it from various firms which we have dealt with in the past. I'm unwilling to spend hours/days combing through the legislation, and it is proving impossible to find definitive information about how or if it will apply to a hobby forum such as Templot Club. I'm minded therefore, at least in the short term until the muddy waters have cleared a bit, to remove all member access to the membership list, and the individual Profile information which you may have entered. Which is a shame, but I'm wondering how much use anyone actually makes of it in practice? There is already a specific tickbox to make your email address accessible to other members and therefore allow them to send you emails*, so I will try to keep that function working (replacing the personal message functions which I removed some time ago because of different legislation ...
... timber sleeper, if this is capable of taking solder doesn't this make for a short circuit across the rails? At this stage I must apologise for asking questions which are probably so obvious to you. I wouldn't be asking but it is an opportunity to start my learning curve. If you hadn't answered I wouldn't have been able to harass you so as the saying goes "no good deed goes unpunished". It has just occurred to me to ask does the solder take the place of the chairs, if that's the right term, in the prototype? If so doesn't this detract from the appearance of the point? I hope you can find time to help me further but will of course understand if you can't. I couldn't find an emoticon for insincere. I think it obvious that my next move is to obtain Templot and see if a study of it will give me further insights into the mysteries of points building.

... check rail setting posted: 16 Nov 2011 19:28 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, It seems a day when things are going rather strange. I was just, a short while ago, adjusting the K wing and check rails of a half diamond template in the TDV, when I found the check rail did not adjust correctly. Now what I did, was the following: First I changed the length of the wing rail using the new K-crossing options menu, from 185.0 ins to 180.0 ins (the LNWR wing& check rails both being 15ft joint to joint& tip to tip respectively), when I clicked OK the wing rail changed to what seemed the correct position (and was in fact perfectly OK when measured with the ruler). I then changed the check rail using the same menu (the new K-crossing options menu), I changed the data from 185.0 inches to 180 inches, but when I clicked OK the rail changed length, but appeared to be shorter than the wing rail and did not line ...
