... .. I doubt very much that PNG would be required just to reduce storage space (!) but is it going to improve anything to remove it? Hi Martin, From a user's perspective, no. But if it is deprecated (i.e. due for removal) anyway, it is 400 lines of code I can just delete instead of spending time on when there are so many other things for me to do.

Hi Graeme, Have you found that it needs spending time on? I was hoping that simply replacing the directory-list controls would get the file viewer working in OT/MEC more or less as-is.

... topic: 405 Menu pops up on other monitor posted: 10 Apr 2008 00:02 from: jeckardt [using Templot v0.91.c] I'm running a Windows XP pro dual-headed system. The desktop spans both monitors. Templot runs fine in this environment but... I will often put Templot in a window, then move and resize the window to use the entire right (# 2) monitor. Then I bring up notes or whatever on the left (# 1) monitor to work from. This works fine except that the left-click pop-up menu associated with background templates always pops up on the extreme left edge of the desktop... in this case that's the left edge of monitor #1 even though templot is running on monitor #2. So in the best of cases I have to mouse across both monitors to get to that menu. In the worst case I'm so focused on the templot window that I don't realize the menu popped up on the other monitor and keep clicking the mouse waiting for the ...
... - providing we are not working in scale/gauge combinations where extreme accuracy is /required/ then rolling gauges seem to be perfectly adequate. Where extreme accuracy /is/ required (or desired) the appropriate set of gauges as outlined by Martin removes the need for extreme skill (thankfully!). Looking forward to seeing you and Mrs L in Lakeland (I nearly said "in the Lakes"- which could be misconstrued) if you're in the area.

... I agree that limiting change will help the adoption of T3. Changes are OK where necessary, but best avoided where we can, unless they are clear improvements. I can sympathise with your headaches over multiple platforms. I have T2 on Windows, T3 in Lazarus on Windows and T2 under Wine on Linux! But this was just about the focus issue, yes?

65. 0-XF or 0-SF?
... believe this to be flawed, and I'm minded to remove it from Templot. I would suggest changing to 0-SF instead (31.2mm). For more about this, see: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/7mm/message/35046 and a lot of discussion about the current 0 gauge standards at: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =281000#p281000 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =281534#p281534 regards, Martin. posted: 22 Mar 2008 02:48 from: Brian Lewis I would ask you to consider leaving 0-XF in your portfolio Martin. I certainly do not agree that 31.00 mm is, as you put it, 'flawed'. My own 40 foot 0 gauge layout is 0-XF and I have 8 years experience in building and operating to this gauge. There are limitations- a B7 is in reality the minimum turnout that will ensure faultless operation; wheels should be of a standard similar to Slaters, but that is it- there are ...

... topic: 490 Size of railway room for a P4 layout posted: 14 Jul 2008 02:28 from: Ian Everett Dear all, I would love your collective wisdom on this matter. I am developing a model railway room in my new house for my "final P4 project", a typical U-shaped terminus to fiddle yard layout layout which will require the lines on the two sides of the room to be connected by a 90 degree double track curve at one end of the room. In our house we have two options: 1) partitioning off part of a large floor area, which would give me effectively any size of room that I need 2) Using an existing room 8' wide. (1) is more expensive than (2) and has other disadvantages so although our initial idea was to create a 9 ft wide room, we now favour option (2 ), an 8' wide alternative location. In my initial plans my working assumption was a room 9' wide. I am worried that a room ...
... topic: 1892 LNER 1930s crossover- rail lengths and timbering posted: 30 Mar 2012 10:02 from: ESJAYTEE This is perhaps a little esoteric, but perhaps one of you may have some info. In templot we can set rail lengths to produce standard panels of plain track. We can specify switch lengths and crossings corresponding to REA and some pre-REA specs, but can we specify the rail length used to make up a turnout? The straight stockrails of the C9's I'm making a crossover from appear to arrive with a joint approximately along with the joint for the switches and another a scale 60' further along the exit road. What would the lengths of blank rail supplied to a P-way yard/manufacturer be? I know 30'/45'/60' is a common measurement for plain track panels, but in what lengths was fresh plain rail supplied? (no bonus points for saying P4exactoL Stores say 0.5m through the post or 1.0m at shows!) I'm trying to replicate an LNER 1930's spec crossover using the ...

... a couple of holes drilled in appropriate positions, small brass pins pushed through the holes from the bottom, bent over 90 degrees then soldered along the bottom of the inner side of the rail. I suspect there's something better to use than PCB as the copper bit isn't needed and requires gaping, but I can't think what. Point motors are Tortoise.

... to know if I have any chance of drawing them in Templot I know the sleeper sizes and have some idea of the sleeper spacings and have managed to draw some straight and curved panels so far I think drawing the points is going to be a real challenge let alone making them So could some explain the descriptions to me please posted: 11 Dec 2014 15:00 from: Trevor Walling Hello, You might find this helpful http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_realtrack.htm Regards. Last edited on 11 Dec 2014 15:02 by Trevor Walling posted: 11 Dec 2014 15:14 from: TPP Thanks Trevor Ok so the switch part seems fairly straight forward and seems it refers to the length of what I would normally call the point blade( because I don't know any better yet I am afraid) I am not so clear on the other part- does the 'one in 8' and 'one in ten' refer to the v crossing angle then? posted: 11 Dec 2014 15:31 from: Phil O Hi TPP Welcome to Templot ...

... topic: 1764 Kingsbere posted: 4 Jan 2012 18:45 from: LSWRArt Hi everyone Here are my first ideas for my new 0 gauge layout- which will be LSWR circa 1912. Minimum radius is generally 1200mm and I propose to run a Terrier, and probably in the future an 02 and radial tank. All comments would be gratefully received. I hope that it will not look too cramped in the very small space available? If the overall layout is OK, what about the sleepering. It does not look quite right to me, but not sure what to do to improve it. I will send the sketchboard separately Regards Arthur Attachment: attach_1297_1764_Kingsbere_4Jan12 .box 341 posted: 4 Jan 2012 18:46 from: LSWRArt Here is the sketchboard to go with Kingsmere track plan Arthur Attachment: attach_1298_1764_kingsbere_bldgs_4 jan12.sk9 354 posted: 4 Jan 2012 20:28 from: Rob Manchester Hello Arthur, Just my views :- 1) How do you run round a train in the platform? 2) There is a lot of shuffling back and forward to ...

BTW, you asked us to let you know if the internet for the Templot club is slow. I went to read your last two messages, and found I kept getting the message: Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to 85a.co.uk This was from 17:42 until I have just read your messages at 19:02. Now I tried many times to communicate during this period, however, it could have come back on-line a few minutes earlier than 19:02, as was busy doing some transition curves over the later few minutes. It does appear to be back to normal now. Many thanks again for the help and tips. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 26 Nov 2011 19:44 from: Martin Wynne Brian Nicholls wrote: Oops!

The reply included the following: A detailed guide to setting up custom plain track spacings is in this document compiled by Stuart Hince: http://www.templot.com/martweb/pdf_files/gwr_track_panels.pdf The numbers given are actually for the GWR, but the method is applicable for all companies.

I had a platform line made up of three separate templates so added the platform to each. I like the feature where you can turn off the start and end lines as it means that the resulting platform is one continuous run rather than three separate pieces. I can see many uses for this, not just platforms Using a negative front edge spacing means that goods sheds can be built, for instance! 105_220650_190000000.png posted: 22 May 2011 12:06 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have just used this feature and like Paul I can turn of the start and end lines but when I turn off the rear line it still remains in place. 38_220705_050000000.png Cheers Phil posted: 22 May 2011 12:20 from: Paul ...

... ask them: "If I said that certain things were of a regular shape and some other things were of an irregular shape, would you assume that there was something wrong with those of irregular shape?"? Context is everything. How about irregular verbs? Doesn't mean they're wrong. You're hardly going to go to great lengths to describe how to construct irregular crossings if they're wrong. And you do define what an irregular crossing is. Still think irregular is nothing to worry about. Cheers Nigel posted: 21 May 2010 02:38 from: kenbec Martin, I was out and about this afternoon. I asked several people if I said something was irregular, would they think there was something wrong with it? Everyone said yes. Nigel is of course quite correct in his answer it is a matter of context. The generel sense of the replies you have received here is to stay with "irregular" and this is my vote. However if it bothers you I suggest you don't waste any time on this, call it what you like ...
