... but "a perfect balance of harmony and beauty" is well above my pay-grade! It's easy to go back, but replicating the same sky and lighting a second time is of course impossible. With the autumn colours soon here I will go back and have another go -- this time with the gate open. Looking west at SO 25414 77447 if anyone else wants to have a go. cheers, Martin. posted: 18 Nov 2018 10:20 from: dave turner Martin (v2.19b) As a long term user of Templot, and having bought the .98 version, I slightly resented the necessity to have an internet connection. At the time I was often in areas that had an unreliable internet connection. However I did understand your reasoning. May I suggest that you continue with the automatic update but ignore any requests/questions on the forum that do not clearly state that they are using the latest version. If someone wants to circumvent your update system that is down to them, truthfully I like the option to do so; ...
... point of about 900 ft and scaled the imported old-maps at a bizarre 1106.226. Being drawn in 1928, whilst I am sure that the larger parts- such as the distance from turnout A to bridge B 1/4 mile away are going to be accurate, the individual buildings are not going to be too clever compared to modern satellite/aerial photography. Oddly btw, bing and google disagree on scale, but I've gone for bing because it zooms in further and has a more clearly marked scale. BTW in terms of buildings, I am assuming railway related buildings were built to fairly common sizes/ designs across a region- so would it be reasonable for me to find a similar existing one (being NER, I'm sure the NYMR is a good start point) or are there infinite combinations?

... and report back in due course. Cheers Julian Hi Julian Yes I am Bill from the Strathclyde O Gauge Group- we are now in a new clubroom in the Bridgeton area. The move has not been without its challenges but we are making progress on a large new O gauge layout which has a detachable branch terminus that can be taken to exhibitions- if we ever have another exhibition that is! I did wonder whether the Ambis design would be sturdy enough but so far none of those installed have given any problems. In terms of appearance I think they are closest to those in the photograph. I look forward to you keeping us all informed with progress in your project. Best wishes. posted: 1 Nov 2020 19:55 from: Nigel Brown Julian Roberts wrote: Interesting to know that even then there was still extensive freight traffic.

... above screenshot) is called a toggle. Clicking the empty square box or unticked menu item causes some function or setting to be switched on, and displays a tick mark in the box. Clicking it again causes the function to be switched off, and the tick mark is removed. Toggles work independently of any other menu items or controls. To switch them on and off you click the same one repeatedly. This is the fundamental difference from a radio button, where clicking the same one repeatedly does nothing. In model railway terms you can liken a radio button to turning a multi-way rotary switch, and a toggle to an on-off switch. All Windows programs work this way. Here for example is the zoom setting menu radio button in Internet Explorer: 2_070715_070000000.png As you can see above the actual appearance of the radio button varies in different versions of Windows, but it is always a round blob. If you have Windows 7 or later you can change the appearance of the menus in Templot. This changes their appearance only and has ...
... Templot in 1999 will recognise these names. This window is now called the program panel, but it was then called the "control room". I changed it on the visible window to avoid confusion with the control template, but the original names in the code haven't changed. Likewise the storage box is in the keep_select unit. Stored templates were then called "keeps". I was persuaded to change the name by Brian Lewis (then of C&L ), but I often regret it. You will find the term "keep" for a stored template is still used throughout the code. The Object Inspector above is currently showing the settings for the recent files button object. You can see that I have clicked on it, and it has gained some corner handles which could be used to drag it around and resize it. The form is shown at design-time with all objects visible. When the program is run they are not necessarily all visible at the same time. On this window the blue bar behind the buttons is not ...

... &L and the exactoscale range- including BH75 and FB etc. I am going to order a point kit. To be awkward I have decided to steer clear of plastic sleepers and will use plywood. After one or two kits I hope to be proficient to make my own from scratch- though for time reasons I will likely keep on with kits- but it is important to me that I KNOW HOW to make them from scratch. You obviously really know what you are talking about. I am lacking in the technical terms, which is not helping me- but I'm sure I shall learn them as I go along. In addition to track gauges (which I hope to get from C&L) I am going to use a set of ready made Ultrascale wheels to stick into a newly acquired Bachmann 40 (purchased specifically for its long wheelbase bogies) if that can run through track then I am sure anything will. I have designed a couple of "planks" in Templot- starting with simple straight track, then curved track, ...
171. Bending jig designs
... almost certainly have to adjust by hand afterwards to get the angle exactly right. posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:04 from: DerekStuart Hello Julian. I am quite familiar with your work and although I think we started off about the same time making turnouts, your progress has been far greater than mine. It's not the end of the World making this by jig, but I have found if using (L )NER practices- which has a far more gentle knuckle curve- errors are harder to avoid, both in terms of looks and running. Hello Ariels Girdle, yes you make a good point. However, I think an adjustable jig that can accommodate an infinite amount of curve options should also be able to deal with rail differences. I did wonder about its springiness though. It's easy to bend a rail to X curve, but if it is then going to spring back out to XX curve, it may be necessary to bend it to 1/2X etc. I shall experiment next week... and assuming Accident and ...
... is part of a trackplan and not need to do any further work on that template (apart from the usual timber-shoving stuff). My own preference for that dialogue box would be for the default action to be add to existing group but as the dialogue box is already established I guess it shouldn't change now. I've never actually used the option of grouping by tag from the main menu- I need to have a refresh of what's in all those menus! I think that these days "slower" is a relative term, if diamonds will be more accurate, then slightly slower is fine. Mind you, last night I was printing off a background with picture shapes and that took for ever- fortunately not something I do often and even then only to confirm the basic shape before ploughing ahead!

173. Minories
... possible to replace two of the turnouts with a single slip (you could have a double slip but one side would never be used) to add a degree of compression to the plan, but it changes some of the curvature slightly. Edit: rough sketch added. Attachment: attach_1999_2584_Minories_compress ed.png 1443 Last edited on 29 Nov 2014 12:33 by Simon Dunkley posted: 29 Nov 2014 12:23 from: Nigel Brown Just looked at the 1989 plan book, in which I think S54 would be the same. In general terms, CJF tended to use Peco track as the basis, with 2' radius points the minimum unless otherwise stated. The introduction to the 1989 book confirms this. Also, each plan has a minimum radius specified which for S54 is 2'. Looking at S54, there's a double slip which would be 3' radius, and possibly the turnouts attached to that. The others might be 2' radius. The bit to the right of the diamond crossing near the top looks a bit cramped to me though. Not ...
174. Way-beams
... could ask the following: (These are for bullhead rail) What would the longest beam be, and if the section of track was longer, would the joints in the way-beams be staggered. The track is straight in all cases in my chosen prototype where it's on way-beams. Would any rail joints be on the beams? I've seen on the MOD document that rail joints shouldn't be within 4m of the end of the way-beams. It seems there are cross beams (for want of a better term), between the way-beams every 4 or 5 chairs. Does this seem right and was there a fixed size for the beams? Finally, on one of the platform roads where the under bridge goes under there's a couple of turnouts. I don't have photographs of this area, but I'm guessing these wouldn't be on way-beams? When the station was relaid with flat bottom rail, I think the way-beams where all removed, but I think I'd like to keep them, as it would add ...
... for the shaft of the spike. Timber that moves a lot with heat and moisture is not good either. If you are fixing with spikes stable timber is a must. Gluing the rail to the timber is standard but you will have to research what glue will give the best result. Remember you are not using a chair or plate so the contact surface area is smaller. And there is less give for movement as well. A spike will give a mechanical safety net. The S7 group is pushing walnut sleepers from long term experience with their use. I understand your worry about point work. I'm about to go through this myself. What has been happening here is people have been building 7mm point work the way they do in HO and it looks dreadful. Or they have bought comercial point work that looks nothing like NSWGR. Working in S7 I have had to do research into what was done at the time of the layout and before. It also helps when using Templot to understand track formations. And jigs are the way to a successful ...

... Gauge One garden railway using Cliff Barker track posted: 26 Aug 2020 17:14 from: Roger Bristow I am a returning Templot user, from 2005! I started a Gauge One garden railway all those years ago and now want to add a triangle from the double main line down to the steaming bay and turntable area. I remembered Templot and have now downloaded the latest version. I want to add a double line junction curving away from a curving (transitioned) main line. Forgive me if I haven't used the correct terms for what I am trying to achieve. If I could get a start on this part I think I could make good progress. Roger posted: 27 Aug 2020 06:39 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roger, Welcome back to Templot Club. If you are making a double-junction on a transition curve, you will need a transitioned diamond-crossing.

Have been researching NSWGR PW for two years now so can understand some of the issues that the author has had to deal with in research terms. Given the historical length of time covered, and the number of players, both engineers and railway companies, it is necessarily concise. But what I read was very well done.

It should be possible to get something not dissimilar to that to work. The two switch sets are a bit too close together at the moment which will prevent the switch blades of the second set from opening fully. What you have is properly called a Tandem Turnout as it is effectively two Turnouts in Tandem. The term 3 way is rather vague as it includes 3 throw Turnouts where the switch pairs overlap. They are best avoided if possible as they are tricky to build and can prove unreliable due to gauging problems when set for the middle road. I will have a go at it over the weekend. Regards Tony. posted: 14 Feb 2015 09:49 from: Simon R Hi Tony, I was looking at tandem turnouts on the forum and found this (message 17941). It almost exactly represents what I think I need ...
