... the fact that it does not live in a damp environment and he uses a dehumidifier. The second factor is colour: steel rail looks too dull and grey to my eye, whereas nickel silver looks too yellow. However, C& L now have a new type of nickel silver rail called 'HiNi' (I think), which looks much less yellow and, to my eyes, closer to the real thing than either ordinary nickel silver or steel. Hope this helps, Bob Ellis posted: 22 Jan 2008 21:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, The problem in soldering steel is that the heat of soldering tends to burn off the thin film of oil which is on most steel sections as supplied. This leaves the area around the joint fully exposed to rusting caused by atmospheric moisture. The usual answer is to protect soldered joints on steel with a good dollop of grease, or a thick coat of paint. That's not very practical for trackwork, of course. So you have to rely on keeping it in a warm dry atmosphere ...
... in centimetres instead of millimetres. Your figures for the outer frame should be 182 mm and 240 mm. If you enter those numbers all will be well. See attached image. I never use centimetres myself for anything at all, so it never occurred to me that anyone else would. I will put an extra note in the program about the importance of using millimetres. Sorry it wasn't clear. regards, Martin. H'mm I just read it off the ruler! No worries will try again! posted: 16 Jan 2008 05:11 from: russ Yep, all sorted now, thanks for the help.

Prototypically it is too close, but you may decide that it is acceptable to avoid reworking the track plan. You could try printing out the templates and carefully standing your longest vehicles on them to check the running clearance. tools> spacing-ring dummy vehicle menu item: 2_260857_540000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 26 Aug 2014 00:05 from: Tony W Hi Michael. I have been having a quick look at your track plan and yes, there are a few issues with the track spacing in places. Hopefully Martin has already pointed you in the right direction. Your biggest problem is with the two inside curves at the bottom of the track plan, but there are others. I have checked the track centre spacing of your templates and these are set to the default for straight track of 44.67mm. I will have another look at tomorrow and get back ...

I use solder construction for the track and have had no problems with soaking the completed track template to remove the paper. Often the paper can be removed by simply spraying the completed template with water from the type of spray bottle that you would use to spray the leaves of ...

167. Video format
... of detail in the image, not the size of the image in pixels. Likewise with GIF and PNG format for static images. An image of a patch of single colour 10,000 x 6,000 pixels would occupy only a few bytes in a file. The way to keep file sizes small is to remove everything from the screen which is not needed in the video. Closing the info and zoom dialogs, and working without timbering, will make a much smaller video file size -- provided you go nowhere near JPG and MPG formats, which should never be used for program screenshots and look awful when so used. I keep saying this, but the vast majority of Templot screenshots posted on forums such as RMweb are still in JPG format and look pretty dreadful as a result. 8-bit indexed PNG (256-colour) is far and away the best option. What screen area do you recommend is best for Templot tutorials? Some users are still using 1024 x 768 screens, so it needs to fit on that, and ...

... fact all you need to know about the peg and notch functions are in the docs at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm The notch performs a similar function to snapping, but with a great deal more flexibility and control, so that you can precisely define the way one template or partial template joins or overlaps another. To see the full power of the notch, watch the "linking to the notch" video in the list at: topic 12 regards, Martin. posted: 23 Nov 2007 13:05 from: Gordon S Hi Martin, thanks as always for taking the time to provide such a comprehensive reply. I guess my questions are as a result of diving in with the F7 key which opened up a whole new world for me. The upside was finally getting started, when I was really struggling. The downside is you miss some of the more detailed steps, which is now resulting in simple questions. I had grasped the basics of inserting turnouts and used the invert, handing options without problem. The one ...

... topic: 3415 What file am I working on? posted: 15 Apr 2019 05:25 from: Andrew Duncan Hello Martin I've a feeling that I'm going to regret asking such a simple question as this with comments like "how long have you been using Templot?" But anyway here goes. I have literally dozens of copies of Yeovil on my computer that I've made over the last 5 or 6 years whilst developing and refining the plan. Can you tell me how I know which file I have on the screen. As far as I can see Templot doesn't display the name anywhere and I find the saving screen confusing as well so I'm often not sure what I'm saving especially if I've more than one file open( ie different versions). Kind regards Andrew posted: 15 Apr 2019 12:09 from: Martin Wynne Andrew Duncan wrote: Can you tell me how I know which file I have on the screen.

... curved switches in BS-113A rail would be suitable for 10-15 year old track at your period. For your intended shunting operations you will surely need a run-round facility somewhere on-scene?

I was looking for reactions and comments on that, and I would also like to get a better feel for what proportion of users are running Templot on Linux/Wine/Winebottler/CrossOver. I sense that it is increasingly popular, but I may be wrong, and it affects how much time I should spend developing Wine-specific functions. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Jul 2015 11:05 from: Les G Martin, How about a membership survey which asks users to say what they are using?

... them are specific to each individual template, so changing an entire track plan later might be a lot of work. I'm going to add extra options to the modify on rebuild function, but a full user interface to select/de-select/change every possible setting is a nightmare as so many settings are interdependent, and some changes may disrupt existing alignments. It's much easier to know what you want in advance and make the settings on the control template as you work. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Apr 2011 05:35 from: Mark Leigh Chris Mitton wrote: Hi Mark What I think you need to do is basically generator -> generator settings and untick centre-lines repeat several times to untick pretty well everything else except rails then generator -> rebuild all background which should give you the plan you want.

The problem with the SK5 loader for FBR videos suggests you have permissions problems there too. Please watch them on FlashBackConnect instead. I'm no longer actively providing SK5 loader files.

Hi Andrew, Not plastic pivots but the sacrificial liner between the pivot and bearing surface. It is simply to keep the steel sections apart. This saves trying to oil or re-grease so often in a hard to get to spot. Steel against steel is a horrible bearing surface and creates a lot of friction. This is a standard item in bogie mountings. The composite used would be selected for compression resistance and self lubrication. These items have been made from a variety of ...
180. 3 way point help
... won't work as drawn as the second B6 doesn't have enough clearance at the toe end, so I'd try an A6 instead. I can't advise on the central vee as I do it a "non-approved way", which I worked out for myself years ago, nowadays I know there is supposed to be an easier way to do it but it's quicker for me to carry on doing it the old way. Chairs? not yet really. I expect Martin will advise further. posted: 12 Dec 2016 15:05 from: gibbard d ok cheers for the clearance advise. will changing the second turnout to an A-6 affect the exit positions on the turnout, meaning ill have to adjust and redraw the attaching tracks or does it just shorten the length of the blades/point? i should add the turnout has been copied off a larger layout design so i have the one turnout instead of 7/8, that's the reason I'm worried about the entrance and exit positions moving posted: 12 Dec 2016 23:59 from: ...
