... topic: 1988 Hiding the control template when storing posted: 18 Jun 2012 02:44 from: Martin Wynne I've felt for some time that it's confusing for beginners that the control template is hidden on doing a store& background (INSERT key). The effect is that the template has simply changed colour, rather than been stored. We can't not hide the control template on store, otherwise it's not apparent to beginners that anything has happened at all. I've now made a change which I've been intending to try for some time. The control template will remain hidden only briefly, and will then reappear over the background template. You can of course hide it again if you wish (HOME key). For more experienced users there is a new option not to have the control template hidden. It's on the options menu on the storage box. Untick this menu option: 2_172050_560000000.png This setting is included in the program preferences. Note that even with this option unticked, on a large track plan the control template will disappear momentarily while Templot re ...
... I'd suggest not trying to hard. Keep thinking about it, turning things over in your mind when you want to, but don't start until something clicks and you can get some enthusiasm for doing it. By the way, I always intended to press the Donate button again as Templot reached each new stage. Think Templot2 thoroughly warrants this.

People take it for granted that ...

... topic: 231 Shove timbers and prototype practice posted: 11 Nov 2007 02:40 from: mattots Hi I'm putting the finishing touches to my Templot track plan and am looking for some guidance on prototype practice regarding the way timber/sleeper positioning was adjusted around turnouts and crossovers etc. I've been looking for photos to use as reference but struggling to find many that show the sleeper positions clearly enough. Matt posted: 11 Nov 2007 03:42 from: Martin Wynne Hi Matt, There are no hard and fast rules, but this thread contains some notes and follow-ups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/message/8313 If you install Microsoft Virtual Earth and use the "Bird's Eye View" option (where available) and then zoom in to the maximum extent available, it's possible to see some of the timbering detail. Generally it's too fuzzy to be very useful, but you might strike lucky and find a location where the light is just right to see the timber positions clearly. For some modern "timbering ...

... rad_at_peg.png You can find the radius at any position along the transition by moving the peg along it (CTRL+ F8 mouse action). A convenient reference to the printed template would be to record the radius at each rail joint, which you can do by jumping the peg along the joints using CTRL+ END keys. Here's a short scruff video showing how to do that, and record the results on the jotter: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/rad_at_peg.exe regards, Martin. posted: 10 Nov 2007 02:41 from: renluethi Hi Bruce, Thank you for this link.

Since it is easily changed with a click, I think I will go ahead and make this change anyway. p.s. Glen, Paul, don't worry about the low turnout in the poll, I'm not in any way offended. Many thanks to everyone who did vote. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Mar 2009 18:02 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin Just a quick update- I've found myself with a Wacom Bamboo tablet which has a "scroll ring" built in. This is basically a finger operated touch pad which makes zooming in and out in Templot really easy. Can I have a second vote for 'paper' as the default please? When this scroll ring is set to 'zoom' with Templot set to 'scroll' it works backwards! As an aside, when set to 'zoom', it does just that in Templot but scrolls ...
... entering the fiddle yard leads to an imaginery off scene goods yard and loco shed. The outer most line leads to an imaginery off scene harbour. There have been some slight changes made to the original design, timbers have been shoved and check rails adjusted. Working from what few pictures I have, and with a bit of artistic licence, I have tried to create N.B. interlaced sleepers. I would be grateful for any comments- good or bad.

... -2 interface if you can. Only you can know how big- how much are you using now? You can still get RAID setups, but they should not be considered backup systems. They are there in case one hard drive fails. For data security, you need a physically separate setup. Oh, you might like to consider a dual-monitor setup. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it, and you will then also be hassling Martin to make Templot support dual monitors Paul posted: 7 Jul 2007 02:15 from: Raymond Gibson Hi, Co-incidentally, my computer is feeling the strain& (although trying to postpone it for a year) I am considering a more powerful one.

They do not advise an up-date, but a new one...& that advice is genuine, not to earn extra money ...
... for the sections that will be ballasted over the sleepers with lots of weeds but some needs to have chairs. Can you get these in 7mm scale for code 100 rail? Rob posted: 8 Feb 2018 00:22 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Rob, I believe it was not unusual to use flat-bottom rail spiked to the sleepers for standard gauge light railways in the UK. Code 100 FB might be about right. Google Colonel Stephens Railways Photographs for examples. Cheers, Andy posted: 8 Feb 2018 01:02 from: Rob Manchester Hi Andy, Yes, just had a look through 'Britains Light Railways' a nice survey of many light rail lines in the UK and you are quite correct that many have FB rail either spiked to the timbers or held there by chair-type screws in biggish square washers that press down either side of the rail foot. The description of 'light rail' is more clearly defined these days but 100 or more years ago was rather vague I suspect. Some of the lines in the above book have ...
... 26 boxes! AND on our local news some months ago when a former filing station on the A1 was listed! Quite a popular chap. Do you have a CAD programme that does basic 3D? (the freebie ProgeCAD will do) You can export your Templot as a 3D DXF and view it from all angles- very helpful when comparing to photos. It saves a lot of this tweaking stuff (which can be a bit stressful...)! Cheers, Howard.

... topic: 1768 TDV posted: 6 Jan 2012 23:02 from: dickc Good Evening Martin and All, My apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum, but it is the first time for some while that I have posted a comment. I run Templot on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 using Wine and have found an interesting little phenomenon with the current TDV release. When I have Templot open and I want to shift the track position on the work pad I have, until now, just hit F7 on the keyboard. However with the TDV if I do this Templot immediately shuts down and reverts to the desktop. If I use the F7 tab at the top of the work pad everything functions OK. I have no problem with this, I just have to remember to use the tab not the keyboard. I just thought I would mention it as I know Martin wants to hear about any little niggles that users may have. Best regards and a Happy New Year to All, Dick posted: 7 Jan 2012 02:57 from ...

Attachment: attach_885_1239_manchester_windmil l_street_v2.box 353 posted: 22 Sep 2010 15:15 from: Nigel Brown Hi Richard Don't know what others think, but I'm not sure that the facing turnout is that daft i.e. in cramped situations within station limits more or less anything might go. Cheers Nigel posted: 23 Sep 2010 15:02 from: richard_t Hello The other suggestion was that the approach was rationalised by British Rail(ways) at some point, removing the slip, and replacing with a single lead junction. I can't accept that, as I suspect if that did happen then the rest of the layout would be swept away for something a lot simpler! I think I'll stick with the slip, as it fits in with the rest of the layout. The fiction will be that the "A" road locomotive release was only used by tank ...

I'm very sorry this has happened. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Oct 2017 00:14 from: Ian Allen Martin, Thanks for the warning. I must say it's the first instance I can recollect in 19 years where Templot would crash like this. We are all grateful for the work you do with Templot. Regards Ian posted: 3 Oct 2017 02:43 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Ian. Now fixed in 215d, I hope. Or at least, I have fixed the floating-point maths exception. But it should have been trapped without causing Templot to crash, and I need to look deeper and see how that was able to happen. But that might take a day or two. Yes, that was the worst bug in 19 years of Templot. It has shaken me up to discover I released a version of Templot with such a bug in it ...

... personally have no problem with any imported map being positioned initially at the 0,0 datum, from which I can then move it wherever I wish. Once all the required map images are imported they can be cropped and combined within arbitrarily specified rectangles as required. Very useful to reduce the number of .sk8 files for an upload. Hope these comments may be of some help – a big tip o' the hat to Martin for this marvellous extension of the mapping functionality in Templot.
