... update it if necessary to make it compatible with future versions of Windows if I'm not able to do that. Assuming that is that anyone still wants to design and hand-build model railway track -- the hobby's demographic has changed a lot since I released the first public version of Templot 20 years ago. It's important to bear in mind that I'm an oily-fingered toolmaker, not an IT professional. I suspect that most Templot users are in the same boat. IT professionals tend to sprinkle their posts with abbreviations and terms that go over my head -- it's no good coming on here talking about GITs and YAMLs and VMs because hardly anyone here will know what it's all about, especially me. OpenTemplot was in a conventional collaborative code repository on Sourceforge. Adrian offered to help with the maintenance of that, but has not been seen here since. As instructed I installed programs called Tortoise and Mercurial on my system (I'm still not clear if I need only one or both or which), but there was nothing I could do with ...

For example a user preference for colour printing is meaningless if the available printer is black and white only. Now I know the term 'Windows' is a red rag to a bull to you and some others on this list, but I can get two options 1. Fast print. Clicking this prints the entire file using the default printer, or the printer I have allocated, the print tray, paper size and aspect and the print quality. 2. Print. Clicking this brings up a list of available printers. By selecting one I get the properties drop down, select what I want and print. What I had in mind for Templot, ...

... retain the tandem rather than running two tracks under the bridge. If you are happy with the design I will firm it up and get the timbers shoved around. I see from RMweb that you have finished the baseboards and will soon be ready to start trackbuilding. However, I have a feeling progress will come to a full stop in two weeks time. I am happy with the design now, thanks! The one question I had is about the catch points Iain put in in three spots. Do these make sense in terms of placement and if so would the slip on the loop not be similarly protected towards the station end? Of course this layout is a bit like squeezing a quart into a pint pot so having looked again, that would be overdoing it. The question is more one of interest. The other thing I need to get my thinking hat on about is signalling. Unless I'm missing it I do not think this is covered in the diagram. I'd like to get at least one ex LSWR semaphore, the Barnstaple line seemed ...

It's really not a problem for me re building ET and I'm not suggesting it's a Templot issue as no one else has the problem. I'm just curious what's causing it and it might just help you in the long term if we can work it out between us. All the results are from the same computer. I have an old laptop that might just work and I assume I can download another copy of 2.13A. If I can set up the printers with my laptop, I might be able to get some samples. In this case the template is a dummy and is 18' long. I've already tried deleting it and generating a new one with the same result. Previous sample prints are earlier in the thread and those are curved ...

The 2mm scale association introduced the term "2FS" a few years back to denote its matched wheel and track standards http://2mm.org.uk/standards.htm... is it worth bringing Templot's terminology into line? best regards Graham Roberts posted: 15 Jan 2012 21:28 from: Martin Wynne grahamroberts wrote: This is a bit pedantic but I note that Templot still uses "S2" as the description for 2mm finescale standards (and as far as I remember always did...)

The exe is incredibly frugal on hdd space and memory usage; considering the level of functionality it's surprising how small it is.

90. glueing track
... :06 from: allanferguson Martin is quite right about making cuts around the proposed drilled hole; but I found it a bit of a fiddle. The comment about Copydex remaining flexible while PVA is rigid is also correct. My own (permanent) layout is laid on 6mm foam (cheap camping mat) with flexible adhesives; but I found that the only place where the trains were really quiet was where a section of track had been temporarily laid and not secured to the underlay atall -- not really viable in the long term. This stuff also gives problems maintaining horizontal and vertical alignment at rail joints, making some sort of rail joiner or functional fishplate necessary. Our group experience on "Burntisland" was that the closed cell foam caused difficulties at baseboard edges. Since this is an exhibition layout the question of noise doesn't really arise. Personally, if I was starting from scratch again, I might be tempted to forget about underlay altogether. Regards Allan F posted: 23 Dec 2011 14:58 from: Martin Wynne Ed Callaghan wrote: Martin ...
... would include the .box and bgs etc files (by reference). and each time you saved your "Project" a new .box, .bgs AND prefs file would be created reflecting exactly the state of play at that moment. And I am particularly thinking of colour scheme, pad (including label positions etc), Generator, and print settings. The consequence of this would be that there would be a large number of different prefs files, each associated with a different project (or version of the same project). In terms of keeping the .box "current", I am suggesting that each time the "project" is saved, a new box (+ prefs,bgs etc) is created. (see below) Let me try talking through how it would work as a user:- I have created a set of templates, loaded some images and created a few shapes etc., for my new layout. I have set the printer to print A4 pages in colour, with timber numbering "off" (lets say) but now ...

I used the box>cumulative data option and it pretty much contains everything I need EXCEPT it would be really useful if this list could include the length of plain track items- in terms of lengths of track needed to build it. It would be a great shopping list for the layout- any chance of an enhancement request?

Of course, if there is a life-threatening, absolutely must-have feature that you just have to put into T2, then fine, but otherwise... Cheers, g PS No, outside slips DON'T count as life-threatening. (Actually I am just showing off, as I learned the difference between outside and inside slips this week) PPS... and I agree absolutely with Rob about the license-encumbering. Short term solutions are great, if it helps get us there quickly, but we should have a plan to replace them, and it would be nice if we can completely avoid the situation you are in right now where licenses are an issue with free distribution. To me, the key attraction of Lazarus is not that it is free, as in free beer, but that it is free, as in free speech. (NOT that I am against free beer, of course.) posted: 5 Nov 2019 09: ...

... gauge. In the UK 0 scale means 7mm/ft, so 2ft-6in should really be 17.5mm gauge. In America 0 scale means 1:48, so 2ft-6in should really be 5/8"= 15.9mm gauge. Narrow-gauge modellers have the happy knack of skating over such discrepancies. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Mar 2008 01:26 from: Thor Lawrence Ian Everett asked: How does 16.5mm gauge in 7mm scale translate to "On30"? It doesn't. However, under the terms of our collective modellers' licence, we are allowed to "adjust" matters to our individual satisfaction. 0n30 implies 0 scale on the equivalent of 30 inch track. 30 inch= 2.5 feet. At 7 mm/ft, that gives a track gauge of 17.5 mm. Hmmm. There are no commercial track parts available (AFAIK) for 17.5 mm gauge track. Right let us invoke Modellers' licence. All together now, raise your pints and say "Use standard 00/H0 track, and we promise ...

... fiddle around to get things to fit, so following that is prototypical practice! Nigel I think it was originally somewhere in this forum that I picked up the following apposite comment, reputedly by Cyril Freezer in 2000, writing about Percy Keen on the 90th anniversary of the MRC.... "One of his tales, very apposite in view of Alan Blackburn's recent talk, related how, before WWI, a friend had a problem with crossing timbers on a piece of complex trackwork. They were due to ride on the LNWR inspection train, and there duly put the problem before the district engineer. He admitted he had no idea which alternative configuration was correct, but added that they were shortly to be joined by the division's most experienced ganger. Since the LNWR with some justification boasted the best permanent way in the world, he would know the answer. The ganger duly boarded the train, was introduced all round and then informed that these gentlemen had a problem for him. He studied the drawing for some time, removing his bowler hat and ...
... topic: 388 Commercial use of Templot posted: 27 Mar 2008 19:19 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, I have recently had several enquiries from builders of bespoke trackwork about using Templot in their work. As you know if you did read the licence terms for Templot before agreeing to them, commercial use of the Templot program is not permitted. However, for members of Templot Club I have made some concessions to the licence terms. I have now written up the details for reference at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/licence_concessions.htm I'm sorry it's written in a rather stroppy tone -- it's necessary to avoid misunderstanding.

I think I have done it, but was unsure about moving the page origin. Ctrl F2 seemed to just move the whole thing about the screen, including the grid scale. Not sure if this was right, but in the end I used groups to move the trackplan down to 0'-3'. In terms of changing scale, I selected all templates with grouping and then set it to 00-SF. Was that correct or is there another way to make a global scale change? Either way, here is the file. Seems large at 5MB, but it did go through OK. Waiting for a price now...

Thanks for the offer and it is very temping, the only snag is that the computer I have Templot installed on does not have an internet connection, although this one obviously does. This is mainly due to my paranoia about computer nasties and having to reinstal everything is such agro. Reading through your list of terms and conditions this makes me ineligible.
