... alterations is the removal of one set of switches within the original arrangement as not all moves through the double slip are of equal importance. If all movements from the bottom left had to go towards the bottom right, all moves from top right had to head top left and moves from the top left could still go top right or bottom right...would this allow the outline track plan of the original formation to be retained.

Furthermore, you have little or no clearance between top left to top right and bottom left to bottom right routes (haven't tested this with dummy vehicles), so no simultaneous movement ...

I'd rather you survived to provide future development and support when it's needed! As I said, there is a workround until the appropriate coding gets into Templot, so as there's no urgency (I can't see me starting actual construction until the autumn) I'll hang fire for now.

The extent of the timber skewing is such that I think it would be difficult to secure the special chairs for the crossing in 12": 1' scale. A partial solution might be to adjust that turnout's timbering with 'Real'> 'Timbering'> 'Equalised'. choosing either incremental or constant according to what best suits the formation. This may also make it easier to interlace sleepers ...
185. Curved crossover
... , because the long timbers will need shoving across both roads. Alan asked for a tutorial for all that, and there isn't one specifically for curved crossovers. I will do a video shortly, Alan. In the meantime, this video is a good beginner's guide to the basic Templot methods and includes making a curved crossover: overlaid tracks on a rough sketch Also the static "track plan" tutorial shows a curved crossover being made, starting at screen 7 to screen 14. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Jul 2008 02:43 from: Alan Dale Hi Martin I have spent the weekend trying to absorb the tutorials and have now created and printed on A3 the crossover by creating a rh point and then following templot help info crossover with curved crossings and track centre line spacing at 80mm.

... topic: 2188 Prototype Terminology on the VR posted: 3 Apr 2013 02:33 from: Laidlaym All, I have been studying old prototype documents for the Victorian Railways, my prototype. Some interesting terminology is: Compound and double compound are used to describe what are more widely known as single and double slips; Check rail is used to describe what is more widely known as a guard rail to guide wheels flanges away from hitting the nose of a V crossing in a turnout; Delta- Deltas were a specific unit, they were available in different rail weights and crossing numbers (7.52, 8.7 etc) just like the other crossings. Two were used in a double crossover when the track centres were 11'8", if the spacing was a little greater then only one was used (the other side had 2 Vs and a K) and if the tracks were widely spaced then no deltas were used. Are these terms used elsewhere in the world? Mark posted: 3 Apr 2013 21:10 from: Phil O Hi Mark The Great ...

... is to maintain full compatibility with Windows 95, 98 and ME. Dialogs and property sheets demand far more system resources (and programming effort). The only way round that would be to re-use resources, which risks introducing the traditional flakiness for which Windows is famous. However, times move on. The next versions of Templot will still run on Windows 95, 98, and ME, but it may be necessary to close all other programs while you do it. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Mar 2008 02:47 from: Simon Dunkley Ta- was aware of the pdf function (from RMWeb), and am looking forward to it.

Matt posted: 13 Dec 2007 23:02 from: Paul Boyd I was just thinking how many different ways there are to use Templot- I virtually never use "Wipe to Current" or the storage box!! A "Delete to the control" (not 'current', any more!) shortcut would be quite nice though. I'm also getting the impression there's some confusion over the different functions of Wipe, Copy and Delete. 'Wipe to control/current' leaves a copy of the background template in your storage box whilst removing it from the background. ...

... does. The layout receded into the distance while I learnt about the various phases of NSWGR plate laying. Often people seem to expect to understand both the program and the the complications of track work in an unrealistic time frame. "I've just bought Templot, next week I'll finish the layout". I think set track hs a bit to do with this... And they quit too fast as well. Possibly the unrealistic deadline. Don't take it personally Martin.

... these changes for you. Try using the F5 mouse action to adjust the crossing angle and watch the check rails change length. Note that for most standard-gauge FB track the flare angle on the wing and check rail ends is machined rather than bent. This makes a noticeable difference to the appearance of a turnout. You can make this change in Templot at "real> rails> flared ends bent" or "real> rails> flared ends machined" menu options. regards, Martin. posted: 30 May 2007 02:30 from: Keith Norgrove Martin said," The length of check rails depends on the V-crossing angle. For most UK flat-bottom track, check rail lengths are: angles up to 1:10 --- 13ft check rails spanning 5 timbers angles over 1:10 up to 1:12 --- 15ft-6in check rails spanning 6 timbers angles over 1:12 --- 18ft check rails spanning 7 timbers" This, however, is far from the whole story!

The caption on the panel is "data". They ought to match -- I prefer "info". 2. functional bug: After clicking the info button the data panel appears, and updates as different templates are selected on the storage box. The panel is a child window on the trackpad, and remains showing if the storage box is closed. That's fine, but if the storage box is opened again, the data no longer updates for different selected templates, until the info button is clicked again. If it's visible it ought to update whenever the storage box is ...

... topic: 3552 Stuff not supported in Templot3 posted: 18 Nov 2019 02:02 from: Martin Wynne I said that I would not be happy to let T3 replace T2 until there is full functional equivalence. That's going to be easier said than done. Some things are far more trouble to implement than they are really worth, and will probably have to be let go. So this topic will be a record of such omissions. One such is the ability to save images in GIF format in the file exports and also from picture shapes. T2 supports both reading and writing of GIF files. But in Lazarus only reading of GIFs is supported. I suspect that relates to the old GIF patent restrictions. The GIF patents finally expired worldwide in 2004, so it just needs someone keen in the Lazarus project to get back on to it. They have had 15 years to think about it. But it won't be me, because T3 is quite enough to be getting on with as it stands. More about the TGIFImage component from its original ...
