... issue and may be lost in the process. The idea of the cold water is to keep the metal rail colder than the plastic so that it doesn't melt its way through the chair base instead of flattening it. Needless to say I haven't tried any of this. But it would be a lot of work -- not least having to thread them all twice. There remains the option of using them as cosmetic half-chairs with rivet or vero pin construction. cheers, Martin. posted: 21 Mar 2018 23:05 from: Andrew Barrowman The variability in model rail sections, even from a single supplier, is a serious problem for anyone who makes chairs but doesn't control the source of the rail. (Don't ask me how I know) Printing rails along with chairs and timbers eliminates that particular problem although it also creates other problems. Sigh! posted: 22 Mar 2018 00:00 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thanks for the suggestions re the( plastic) chairs. I was thinking of doing each chair in situ but ...
... topic: 379 Out of one's depth posted: 22 Mar 2008 05:09 from: Raymond Having recently moved I find myself with a loft that has 32x12feet of usable space. For someone who has never been able to contemplate more than a 15 foot end to end this is mind boggling! So far I have designed the fiddle yard but am at a loss how to cope with the space to best advantage. The plan is for a GWR mainly goods railway. In the past I had planed for extensive factories served by rail but this may be an opportunity to do a marshalling yard instead. If anyone has any advice to offer it will be gratefully received.

... by electronic mail? Hi Gordon, 1. Arrange your screen as required. 2. Press the PrintScreen key on the keyboard -- it's usually just to the right of F12. (It would be far more logical called "Copy Screen" because that's what it does, but some things are beyond human understanding. It doesn't print anything.) 3. Start your favourite picture editor program or Windows Paint. 4. Click Edit> Paste. 5. Save the image -- but NOT, please not, in JPG format. JPG is totally unsuitable for screenshots and computer graphics, and will produce the largest file size and worst possible image quality. JPG is intended for real world images captured with a lens (from cameras and scanners). Save instead in GIF or PNG format. Ideally first reduce the colour-depth to 8-bits and then save in PNG format. This gives the minimum file size and a perfect reproduction of your screen. p.s. ALT+ PrintScreen is useful to copy only the active window, instead of ...
... crossings to 1 in 7.5? I realise that it gives a shallower radius to the slip road but looking at it that seems to be the reason for the K-crossing check rail fouling on the wing rail. I've put a cropped photo of part of the manually planned trackwork. The formation will be for very slow speed running as it is at the end of one of the platforms for my terminus station. Once again many thanks for taking the time to lend a hand. Michael posted: 1 Jan 2014 16:05 from: Michael Woolford Whoops...no image...although it doesn't seem to want to work.

... can provide. As a general principle, we now have over 200 members of this forum, with more joining regularly. It is not practical to be required to make individual arrangements for users' ISPs. Only a handful of members are affected by this -- everyone else is receiving forum emails without any problems, so it is difficult to see why Comcast cannot do the same. I have seen reports elsewhere that it can be difficult to get emails through to Comcast users. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Aug 2007 05:14 from: Dave Phillips Hi Martin, So what are we to do? I agree the form appears to be for the sending ISP administrators. Have you contacted your ISP? And yes, I understand your reluctance to do this, since it's a "problem" with Comcast. But what am I supposed to do? Change ISP's? Unlikely. If you or your ISP don't request unblocking, the only thing I can suggest is that the affected Comcast users request unblocking. Regarding the notice you received about blocking ...

... topic: 124 00-SF history and information posted: 10 Aug 2007 05:25 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, There has been a rather acrimonious discussion about 00-SF on the RMweb forum today in which my name has been mentioned. I thought I would write a few notes about the background to 00-SF. Please feel free to copy this to RMweb or the 00-SF group if you wish. I myself have manufactured hundreds of 00-SF turnouts and sold them to very satisfied customers. They weren't actually called "00-SF" at the time, I just called them "00 extra fine". Some were on plain copper-clad timbering. Some were on my milled copper-laminate timbers with raised chairing effect. They all worked just fine as advertised. What follows is my best recollection of events more than 30 years ago. After all this time I confess my memory is much less than perfect, so if anyone reading this knows different, please do say. I could probably find out ...
... topic: 117 Fremington North Yard posted: 29 Jul 2007 05:44 from: Rextanka Hello, This is my first post in the new forum, and very nice the forum is too. I'm much preferring the denizens of such places to those that lurk on lists, I think perhaps it's because actual modelling is being done on the fora I started this topic to discuss the challenges of going from a layout sketch to a workable plan, and I have a specific plan in mind. Martin has very kindly offered to help with this so I created the topic so we can talk about it, hopefully this will be of great utility to other members. The layout in question is a P4/Demu challenge layout. For those not familiar I have a thread on a different forum discussing the construction of the layout, I'll keep this thread mainly for the specific topic of the track work. The challenge is described in some detail in the first post of the topic, together with a wonderful link to a youtube film that has a signalman from ...
... /hobby computer user. It's always been a bit of a mystery to me how we ended up supplying basically the same product to two completely different markets. Who on earth wants to buy a "home computer" in Tesco, and after unpacking it and switching it on, being asked to set up "user accounts" and login as an "administrator"? Shouldn't a computer intended for the home work like any other domestic appliance -- just switch on and go? regards, Martin. posted: 7 Oct 2007 05:30 from: Max Hi Martin, The best way is to install Vista next to XP on drive D(dual boot option) .This way you can continue to use your old OS and at the same time figure out the new ways of Vista in your own time. Once you feel familiar with it and have collected the required new drivers for your programs,you can transfer your old programs/settings to Vista and remove XP. There were a lot of 'Horror Stories' about XP too when it was ...

... right, it's strange that there are no remnants of a connection to the diamonds. And it's odd to leave diamonds in a running line, as they are high-maintenance items. So I'm wondering if those are not redundant diamonds, but new ones laid in readiness for some developments on the right. On the other hand, looking at the colour of the ballast it's clear that they have been there for some time. Anyone know the history of this location? regards, Martin. posted: 3 Feb 2008 04:05 from: BeamEnds My 2p would be, going by the date, that the line to [insert location of choice] has been closed by that nice Mr. Beeching, and, looking at the state of the track alongside the engine, engineering work is planned in the not too distant future that will allow the redundant diamonds (are there a coupe of slips in there too?) to be removed during routine work without an additional extra occupation. Remember in those days closing the line was avoided at all costs, ...
74. Index
... topic: 1055 Index posted: 25 Feb 2010 05:32 from: kenbec Martin, Further to your message about the Index some time ago to which there was a somewhat underwhelming response I have a couple of suggestions. 1. Why don't you highlight the existence of the Index with links at least as conspicuous as those for the searches? 2. When you provide the answer to a question with which you are completely satisfied, the answer that is or even if you see one you like in the daily message files from another member. Index it immediately. The Index will start to be more useful and will be updated progressively. Eventually more and more answers to questions will be something like "Refer to Index item xxxxx" and then only because the person asking is not sure of what the right question is This must save you time in the long run.

... bit premature to say that. Bear in mind that the business was for sale for 2 years, and came close to closing down entirely. Anyone criticising the new operation was entirely free to have taken it on themselves. If the business is still giving poor service after another 12 months, fair enough to criticise. But in the meantime be grateful that the supplies are still available. There isn't any other supplier for many of the components -- there must be a reason for that. Martin. posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:36 from: d827kelly It has also gone from a big operation, with a lot of stock to a much smaller concern with no shop (hence the dropping of peco products as peco won't supply them without). posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:38 from: d827kelly Phil is also still sorting out a lot of the inventory as it wasn't supplied in properly labeled containers etc, and split between two locations presently.

... topic: 3615 Emails missing or delayed? posted: 21 Feb 2020 10:02 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I'm noticing that some emails from the Templot Forum are either being delayed or don't arrive at all. For instance, in the "Beginners queries" thread, I've only had the email reply about Templot being a 3D program, timed at 05:19 (don't you sleep?!?!?) The previous two posts haven't (yet) arrived, and neither are they in any junk folders. I've also noticed this on other threads, but can't work out a pattern. The delays have been as much as a few days! Is this just me, or is anyone else seeing this? Edit:- this post came through by email virtually instantly, of course!

They are probably going faint because you are viewing the image at less than 100% using a resampling algorithm. The default settings are intended to be only 1 dot wide at 100% size, which is fine for printing, and should show on the screen as thin lines in PNG format.

There is a single through bolt, with spacers between the wing rails and the vee nose (not shown in David's drawing). So unless you have invented a bolt with a bend in the middle, it can't be square to the rails. Martin.

... topic: 3175 HISTORIC MAPS LAVENHAM SUFFOLK posted: 6 Jan 2018 17:05 from: TONYMONEY The NLS map of Lavenham goods yard shows, to me anyway, a very unusual but interesting track layout. Presumably the double circle to the southwest of the main shed is a wagon turntable but is the double circle of significance? The single circle on the most southerly line is more of a mystery. Is it another wagon turntable, a special form of turnout or a cartographer's error? Any explanation would be appreciated. Regards Tony Money posted: 6 Jan 2018 17:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tony, My guess is the outer ring is a retaining wall around the turntable, continuing the line of platform wall alongside the northern track: 2_061251_380000000.png The photo shows that area of the yard raised at platform height: lavenham(jmc9.1959)old6.jpg linked from: http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/l /lavenham/lavenham(jmc9.1959)old6.jpg The other circle seems to be an ordinary wagon turntable, used instead of a turnout.
