... 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"?

... thought higher temperatures meant greater viscosity and more likelihood of unsupported overhangs drooping. Regards. Trevor. posted: 11 Aug 2015 11:10 from: Les G You are correct: Lower viscosity= stiffer; higher viscosity= more free flowing. Higher temperature makes the plastic more liquid, and more likely to droop. This is why temperature and filament feed speed are controlled. Hence my query about extruder temperature for successful bridging. Les G Last edited on 11 Aug 2015 11:18 by Les G posted: 12 Aug 2015 01:32 from: Andrew Barrowman Ah yes! This sample is OO gauge- I should have mentioned that. Thanks Martin. I'm using the cheapest printer I could find a couple of years ago, a Printrbot Simple. The unsupported overhang issue does not present a problem for me, and I'm able to get very consistent dimension and gauge results. At the moment I'm working on optimizing the chair designs for turnouts and finding the method that allows me to generate a turnout with the least effort. I'll post the results when ...
... within that circuit although not necessarily for the control wire to it. That commonality means you will be more familiar with individual circuits that go to make up the whole. I will scan some examples for you. Most of the originals are in .doc format for ease of editing as changes are made. Regards Tony. posted: 25 Oct 2017 22:52 from: Andrew Duncan Thanks very much Tony.

On visiting some of the files I wished to send you as examples of how I did things, I discovered that they either needed correcting or were in the process of being updated but had not been completed, so has spurred me on to do so. Rather than post them as pictures, I think it better to add them as attachments as some of the text will be too small to read otherwise. This will take three ...

Yes you are making great progress, interesting to watch the the development of this even if much is way over my head Rob PS...Ha Ha, Surely you need to take the chair screws out of the chairs before you can shove the timbers otherwise the rail will get slewed over? posted: 30 Jul 2018 18:01 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Rob. The 3D printing stuff is going over my head too. I'm still writing DXF code the same way I did in the 1980s. That's why I started this separate topic to cover the track design aspects. Here is something that will be possible. If you omit a timber when shoving, its chairs go too, as you can see. However, if instead you set its length to zero, making it invisible, its chairs remain unsupported on the rails. Adjacent long timbers can ...
... topic: 3185 Issues with single sided tandem posted: 16 Jan 2018 01:19 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Upgraded to the latest version today and have been having fun(testing ?) with the single sided tandem function before bedtime. Attached to this post is the box file and the next two posts contain the two screenshots at the time the issue occurred. I do hope I haven't done anything wrong this time The starting template was a 1:12 curviform turnout in a length of straight track and I just let Templot proceed through the process without any changes when asking for the tandem. I did have an issue earlier when a stock rail in the 2nd v-crossing was not lined up but the issue above occured when I was trying to re-produce it. I will let you know.

Instead of: keep_form.read_info_buttonClick(data_child_form); I would normally call the click method on the button directly: keep_form.read_info_button.Click; If you do the former you get a telling off in Delphi, I can't remember the exact wording of the message.

Because the above lines are in a Tkeep_form.xxx procedure, there is no actual need to specify the form, and a plain read_info_buttonClick(data_child_form); or read_info_button.Click; will work fine. cheers, Martin. posted: 6 Nov 2019 01:33 from: Graeme Martin Wynne wrote: Unfortunately it is a bit more complicated,... Hi Martin, I had a feeling that if it was that easy you would have done it already. I am still profoundly ignorant of Templot from a user perspective, so I think I will wind my neck in for a few days and just play with the program and see what I can do with it. I will obviously not become an expert in that time, but I will probably increase my knowledge tenfold ...
... to have transparent backgrounds, so GIF format is the best option. If you keep them within 800 x 600 limits, they won't be resized on uploading and won't lose the transparent background. About 500- 600 wide is probably about right. Of course you have to be willing to waive all rights, so that anyone can use them. If I use any directly within the Templot program, I will make sure you are properly credited.

The internal magnet then holds it in. A reverse-polarity pulse releases it and a spring pushes it back out. Used for door locks and similar. Simple circuit needing only an ordinary changeover switch -- charge a capacitor through it, then discharge it through it. More than £2, but a lot cheaper than Tortoise or ...

Couldn't agree more, I'm sick of his downbeat editorial attitude. If he was working for me he would get the push, he should be aiming to inspire new modellers not shut up shop.
