... This will give you the correct measurements to accurately align each end of the print to the correct position on the board. If it has wandered at all, it will be obvious at that time and you can tweak the print using a scalpel blade to pull it back into alignment. Sounds a lot more complicated than it is, but I have learned the hard way and laid track to a set of joined up prints and then found it didn't align with existing tracks some way away. posted: 11 Nov 2015 12:06 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: What I now do is use the digital ruler in Templot and take measurements to the track centre line where it crosses a baseboard join. Hi Gordon, Thanks. There is a much faster way to do that. Use the CTRL+ F8 mouse action to run the peg along the track centre-line. You will see that the peg co-ordinates are shown in the mouse action panel. Here I'm moving the peg until it aligns with the baseboard join at 1000mm, ...

The turnouts at the south end of the station are 16.5mm track gauge with 0.9mm flangeways. I'm not aware of any 00 standard with such fine flangeways. Most commercial RTR models have wheels to the NMRA/110 standard with flanges 0.8mm thick, so you are getting close to the limit. Also of course the back to back will need increasing to at least 14.8mm to span the ...

Eventually more and more answers to questions will be something like "Refer to Index item xxxxx" and then only because the person asking is not sure of what the right question is This must save you time in the long run.

... Well worth a look for anyone interested in programming, especially since it's free. I used Delphi to write software to run the core of my business and it was so much easier to use than the competition- C++ at the time- and so much faster to compile. I could do almost interactive coding by writing a few lines, then compile and debug to see if they worked. With other compilers you could have a cup of tea while waiting for the compiled output.

Cheers Nigel posted: 18 May 2010 21:22 from: Paul Whitaker John Lewis wrote: I quite like "irregular", but if you think that term is undesirable, how about "uneven"?

How about "asymmetric"? posted: 19 May 2010 06:28 from: kenbec I'm minded to stop using the term "irregular" diamond-crossing because it has the potential to be confused with an error condition. Instead I'm thinking of calling them "curviform" diamond-crossings. We can't simply call them "curved" because of course a regular diamond-crossing can be curved.

It downloads from the site ok but I'm still getting an error box stating that this is not the current version and clicking OK, just shuts Templot TDV down. The only other message I can get relates to not being able to check the current version and to check internet connection or go online, even when I am.

Are you quite sure you are running 4703 and not an earlier build: 2_012259_050000000.png Are both computers using the same broadband router? Do the computers and router belong to you? The most likely explanation is a firewall setting blocking TDV from accessing the internet. If the equipment is your own property you should be able to change the settings. If employer-provided, ...
... Hi Richard, Many thanks for posting this. Mostyn has become well known and much admired on the exhibition circuit, so it's great that you have made the Templot files available for others to use. It's amazing to see how you have packed every available inch of baseboard with track for the fiddle yard. Please keep us posted with developments. Those wishing to see more can find Mostyn at Barrowmore Group. Here's one of many fine pictures of Mostyn linked from that site: Mostyn01GB.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 16 Nov 2007 06:05 from: Richard Oldfield Dear all, To bring the plans to life here is a shot of the Mostyn fiddle yard taken at the recent Blackburn exhibition.

... date. This however is easy to achieve in Templot. And also, according to my copy of "British Railway Track", the spacing can depend on track radius, whether water troughs are fitted, In tunnels longer than 1/4 mile or on soft formation. I dare say the last two situations are a bit academic for us modellers since I'm not sure how you model a soft formation- insulation board baseboard top?- and you'll not see the sleepers in a tunnel. Jim. posted: 9 Apr 2010 06:02 from: Stephen Freeman The problem with 0-XF is that there is very little play available, even if your track-building is to the highest standard, you will still have a problem if your radii are too small, in which case you need to widen the gauge up to 32mm depending on the curve! Standard 0-F apart from not looking that good also gives less than perfect running, especially on larger radius turnouts. All of this has of course been discussed at length before, have ...

... -crossing check rails. 1:6 slips are always a problem in this regard for 00 gauge. For more about this, see: topic 324 Note that since that was written, in TDV it is much easier to adjust the K-crossing check rails, now by mouse action. The timbers in diamond-crossings and slips are almost always equalized (skewed) as drawn. It is difficult to arrange the K-crossing chairs if timbers are square-on. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Feb 2012 06:36 from: alangdance Thanks for the reply Martin.

... topic: 667 An important announcement by C+ L Finescale posted: 21 Dec 2008 00:06 from: Brian Lewis An important announcement by C+ L Finescale Whilst watching Norman Solomon building turnouts on the latest Activity Media DVD- constructing templates, sticking down timbers, etc.- I was struck by the thought that I was doing this 40 years ago. Locomotives and rolling stock are so much more accurate that they were even ten years ago? So why haven't available track components reflected this improvement? Folk still create trackwork by building individual turnouts and 'stitch' them together with plain track using 'one size fits all' generic track templates. Surely we can do better than this? Well we have and as from the new year, a new era in track construction begins. Boat and aircraft kit manufacturers use lasers to cut components with amazing accuracy- as do model railway kit manufacturers in the US. It doesn't seem to happen here. But we are going to change all that. So for the past month I have been taking prototype track ...
... topic: 3425 Flangeway Clearances- 3 Way Tandem Turnout posted: 4 May 2019 04:06 from: Roger N Hello All, I have recently produced an EM-FS "shunting plank" design in Templot to learn track building and to test out stock before moving up to a layout. This design includes a LH/RH tandem turnout created using the "Make 3-way tandem turnout" tool which worked well except for a couple of issues regarding clearances. I am unsure how to best adjust the following in a prototypical manner. 1. How much adjustment can be made to the LH wing rail for the middle crossing to create a flangeway without affecting wheel movement through the crossing? 2. How much adjustment can be made to the associated middle crossing check rail on the RH turnout side, again without affecting wheel movement through the crossing? 3134_032304_090000000.png Additionally, I can identify the switch type for the LH turnout as B but do not know how to interpret the switch type for the RH turnout from the component data. I have attached ...

57. Tandem Points
... topic: 2648 Tandem Points posted: 12 Mar 2015 06:32 from: D Foster I was recently asked for images of the sole plates in tandem points. The first example is at the MRC at Butterely. The blade tips are so close here that I would tend to call this a three way point rather than a tandem. I think that there is a sole plate under the first set of blades- drilled holes in the steel plate are just visible- but there is no sole plate under the second set of blades. 3017_120119_070000000.jpg The second example is at Haworth on the K&WVR. Again the blade ends are very close. Also, once more, no sole plate for the second set of blades. First look includes ground levers, connections and stretcher bars. 3017_120125_080000000.jpg Second look is close-up/edit of both sets of blade ends- and only one sole plate. 3017_120128_550000000.jpg Apologies for hiccups in posting- this is my first attempt... posted: 12 Mar 2015 06:49 from: D Foster Hmmm ...
... topic: 2939 Translation of templot posted: 23 Nov 2016 22:06 from: Jerome FAGOT Hello everyone and martin I know templot for a few years but I have decided to use it recently. This is a great software but I find it quite complex learning, especially for me who do not speak English. Are translations planned and if not, is there any way we can modify the menus to translate the terms into our language? Templot is exactly what I needed to plan my future N-scale network, which should be quite complex and large. In addition I love the switches, it is for me a real passion and I could spend hours in front of a railway station grill to study the changes of multiple tracks. My difficulty lies mainly in the fact that I can link the paths between them, the procedures seem to me long and very complex. A thousand thanks to Martin for inventing and writing this software. See you soon FAGOT Jérôme (from France) PS: translated on internet posted: 30 Nov 2016 23 ...
