... too much (I have all issues of both magazines) I have spent the last couple of hours searching online but have not been able to find anything suitable. I would prefer to have binders or slipcases of 'almost' correct dimensions, rather than those designed for publications of "Railway Modeller" size. If anyone can recommend a suitable supplier I would be most grateful. Mine are bound in green binders sold by the Welsh Railways Research Circle for MRJ and GWRJ. http://www.wrrc.org.uk/ posted: 19 Aug 2008 05:58 from: Ian White A4 is just a bit too large for my liking, and I couldn't find any references to available binders anywhere on the Welsh Railways Research Circle website (maybe they are for members only?). Modern Bookbinders of Blackburn do a suitable size binder- so I will be placing an order with them asap. Many thanks for everyone's help. posted: 19 Aug 2008 12:58 from: richard_t If you'd like the magazines bound, rather than a binder for them, then DJ Bookbinders ...
142. Custom Scale & Gauge
... gauge settings. See: Customizing narrow-gauge Hope that helps, write again if it's not clear. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Aug 2008 04:42 from: Noel Adams Thanks Martin. As I'm still on Version 0.74c, I think some of the actions shown in the video are out of my reach at the moment. I'll carry on with my learning curve for now (!) and come back to customising for narrow gauge when I am more familiar with Templot.

... showing the assembly of a kit for a German 1:9 turnout in Proto87. The "timbers" are steel: Martin. posted: 21 Jul 2014 08:35 from: Jim Guthrie How much does that kit cost? With all the special plastic moulds and cast rail parts- not cheap, I bet. But it does make up into an excellent looking turnout, and not a gauge in sight. Jim.

144. Print Rail Foot?
... to flat-bottom, and then store it again as a fresh background template. Would that have been more intuitive? If you had 200 templates to do that way, it would take you a few hours. The modify on rebuild group functions are provided to make such after-thought global changes easier. I think they would be reasonably intuitive to someone well-experienced in Templot. What could I do to make them more so for less experienced users? Comments welcome. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Aug 2012 05:04 from: Mark C Martin, Templot is a very, very powerful but also a very complex program, much like Photoshop. That doesn't make it a bad program, just requires a big learning curve. What threw me off in trying to change the rail type was that I saw "Flatbottom" in the information panel when I clicked on every background template. This lead me to believe that they all templates had been changed. In thinking about it, that doesn't make much sense and I should have known ...
... as I mentioned, I want to give it more of a workout myself before claiming it is 'ready'. There are sure to be bits of functionality I don't even know about which will trip me up, but it's a start. Enjoy the sunshine! Graeme PS Thanks (AGAIN!) for a lovely piece of background info. I would never have picked 'math' as a breakaway from 'pad'. I just assumed it was an original piece. Just goes to show!

... long wheelbase locos such as 9F's to run through more easily. From your comment, I assume there is more to it than I first thought.... Actually, ignore my comment- I've just knocked up a 1:10 double slip in P4 (in Templot!), and it works fine! It's shorter angles I was thinking of that will give a problem The K-crossing bit is still valid though Last edited on 20 Dec 2007 02:59 by Paul Boyd posted: 20 Dec 2007 03:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, Some confusion here. The presence of slip roads is irrelevant. The question relates to the K-crossings forming the centre of the base diamond-crossing. I strongly recommend that you don't try to build 00 gauge K-crossings as flat as 1:10 with fixed K-crossings. On the prototype the flattest angle allowed for fixed K-crossings is 1:8. With the sloppier flangeways in 00 gauge you ought to consider 1:7 or even less as the ...

It's all getting a bit much to think about on top of Templot2 and Templot3 and supporting users -- there's a request on RMweb tonight for help with setting Templot timber spacings for Swiss railways. Plus another release needed for Templot2 after a bug fix this afternoon. Feeling a bit weary today. Yes, it is a lot on top of your 'day job'. I wish I could do more to help.

We do have the existing units, is it essential that they be changed? Anyone writing new stuff can clearly use any style they prefer, the only really significant point being that it compiles without errors and works. Changing the subject, did we follow up on my previous comments? What I'm finding very difficult to fathom is how to merge the units together? While you have been making changes to these ...

I wouldn't spend any time worrying about ways to make the grid line up after rotating- as you say this is getting quite esoteric- the first question I've had in five years that hadn't already been asked.

Does anyone have any comments on the value of the various railway-orientated CAD programs? Or for a P4 modeller who is not likely to want to use any of the libraries bundled with these (or for that matter the simulation packages), would I be better off with something else?

154. First Slip Attempt
... 11:09 from: Martin Wynne Hi Charles, It looks fine to me. What do you think is wrong? You have the usual problem in 00 of the slip road conflicting with the K-crossing check rail, which will need to be shortened accordingly -- real> adjust check rails menu item. That is just one of the penalties of using 00 gauge. There is some discussion about this, and ways of easing the problem here: topic 324 regards, Martin. posted: 14 Apr 2013 12:05 from: Charles Orr Thanks again Martin. I've selected moveable K crossings and as you indicated in the reference, this has got rid of the check rail problem. I intend to use to use servo motors to drive the slip. Where would you suggest attaching the tie bars to operate the K crossings? One last question. How would I turn this into a double slip?

... using bonus timbers. But that's a very tedious way of setting up a custom switch, and limits your means of re-using it. If possible it's much better to create a full custom switch with all the required spacings which won't need subsequent shoving, as shown in the NER video. *don't confuse this with adding approach track to the turnout (F3 mouse action) in front of the rail joint.

158. Chevrons niggle
... topic: 325 Chevrons niggle posted: 31 Jan 2008 05:19 from: Martin Wynne This is the sort of thing which brings the red mist down when I'm working with Windows. It's of not the slightest significance, but for some reason that makes it all the more annoying. For some unfathomable reason, the Cleartype font smoothing doesn't work for the chevron characters( << >>, less than, greater than). No other characters seem to be affected. See: chevrons1.png But wait -- launch the screen magnifier (Start> Programs> Accessories> Accessibility> Magnifier) and miraculously the font smoothing works: chevrons2.png I've tried this on two different systems, with both nVidia and ATI graphics and they are both the same (WindowsXP).

Hi Russ, Use approach track to a turnout as your plain track. Extend the turnout side check rail back into the approach track. You need to calculate the required length in prototype inches (or do some trial and error). Then shorten the template to show only the approach track (F4 mouse action).
