Hi John, The file name says 1956. The greater mystery is how it came to be on the Templot web site without my having the faintest recollection of it? The file upload date is 2012, so there is no chance of me remembering now.

... yes, the posted version of the boxfile was saved at 02:47 this morning. We had a thunderstorm earlier this evening and I powered down the computer network, only to find that when trying to restart it the network switch had failed. I've only just finished restoring my internet connectivity using a replacement switch built into an old router. Bad moment when I realised that loss of the internet connection had, of course, also cost me access to Templot!

Rgds Dave posted: 29 May 2014 00:53 from: John Palmer As Dave has explained, the two topmost routes through the layout are goods lines, and analysis of his operating requirements has revealed a need for a movement from Down Main to Up Loop via a facing connection at the Exeter end of the layout. At his request I have attempted to incorporate this into ...
... -1 code 60 FB which may be a little light, but the rail foot width allows for the 0.5mm flangeway gap without any filing. Or did the prototype have to reduce the foot width to allow correct flangeway gaps? It's hard to judge from the photo. The photo was taken at Porthmadog Harbour Station in July 2000, 20 years ago this month, specifically to help with layout building. Where on earth does the time go?!?!?

They'd be in polyurethane resin when I do them, so it'd be a superglue job to fix them. posted: 6 Jul 2013 01:04 from: SimonH Happy to send a photo.

... it's advisable to keep the size of the half diamonds the same but the curving radii on each half can be different without too many problems is that correct? re the BH points, yes I was a few in to the design before spotting the error, I may well go back and correct these. I had originally thought that after selecting FB rail that might have been an automatic change. Will post back soon kind regards Dave Last edited on 5 Dec 2007 14:03 by davelong posted: 7 Dec 2007 04:06 from: davelong Hi All the diamonds are now the same size and I've converted the majority of the points to FB templates, except for the crossing in the middle as this is planned to be a non operating crossing ie disused.

107. Counting railchairs
... topic: 3041 Counting railchairs posted: 29 Jun 2017 18:06 from: Richard Spratt I know how to get the total sleeper length. Is it possible for Templot to tell me how many railchairs I need for each template? I guess it might be difficult as there are many types of chair, but just a total number would be helpful. Thanks posted: 30 Jun 2017 08:06 from: Phil O For plain track I double the number of sleepers and for S& C I times it by four, this gives a pretty good ball park figure. Phil posted: 1 Jul 2017 22:39 from: Richard Spratt Phil, that's ok, but how do I count sleepers? It's not on the info output. posted: 3 Jul 2017 17:31 from: Phil O Richard In the info box it gives the number of panels of track and the number of sleepers per panel, plus any additional sleepers for a part panel.

... topic: 1486 irregular diamond-crossings posted: 17 May 2011 02:06 from: Martin Wynne This topic is about creating irregular diamond-crossings in TDV. Irregular diamond-crossings are those where the radii in the two roads differ in size or direction. This causes the K-crossing and V-crossing angles also to differ. The most common use for an irregular diamond-crossing is in a double junction. Last edited on 18 May 2011 16:17 by Martin Wynne posted: 18 May 2011 16:56 from: Martin Wynne There are 3 ways to create an irregular diamond-crossing: 1. Start with a regular half-diamond template. Change the K-crossing angle using F10 mouse action and/or change the V-crossing angle using F9 mouse action. In most cases change also to a curviform type of V-crossing -- real> V-crossing options> curviform V-crossing menu item. (For this method this setting is optional.)

I can give a few quick tips that I have found easy to understand though. Many of the tutorial are done by "old timers" (no offence intended) who do things in ways that beginners find difficult to follow- a bit like pre-Windows users who stick to all the things they had to use before mice were invented. Firstly, it is often best to start an awkward piece of track ...
... topic: 3777 Red rails for below minimum radius posted: 21 Sep 2020 06:27 from: Jerry Goodwin I saw a forum post, which I now can't find again to link to, where Martin explained that with a certain series of steps one could end up with a turnout with a very short (like less than a foot at full scale) section of rail with less than the minimum radius. In that post, the offending bit of rail was shown as red filled, while the rest of the rail was not filled. My question is, where do I turn on below-minimum-radius rail highlighting? I've googled my fingers to the bone, and all I've discovered is that: The red rail (Aphanapteryx bonasia) is an extinct species of flightless rail. It was endemic to the Mascarene island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. which isn't close to the answer I was looking for, but might be effectively correct if I can't do it. The reason I am asking is I have laid ...
111. TDV Gauge menu
... you go to set the scale (because it's called Gauge not Scale). But then I think calling it Scale has similar objections. I've been wracking my brains, such as they are, for a better word. The best I can come up with is Model (as opposed to Real), i.e. somewhere where you set the current model track parameters. While I'm here, any chance of sticking a couple of 3mm/ft items in the top gauge/scale list? Cheers Nigel posted: 21 Jun 2011 06:07 from: its_all_downhill Hi Nigel, I have been looking at this as well but I think gauge is perfectly ok as that is what we are building our track to not necessarily to scale i.e building in 4mm could encompass OO, EM, P4, OO-SF etc which are all same scale but different gauge widths, so to me it makes sense to call it gauge. Sure Martin will be along to inform us more eloquently shortly. Regards Tom posted: 21 Jun 2011 09:44 from: richard_t ...
... were compendiums of his layout plans in the Modeller through the 1950s into the early 1960s. He brought out a third book in the 60s (lighter blue cover) which was a compendium of layouts carrying on from where the first two left off. Also, I can probably dig up the original appearance of the plan being discussed as I've got the Modellers back to 1957. It'll have to wait till I get home at the weekend, or someone else might be able to oblige sooner. Jim. posted: 14 Nov 2007 06:04 from: BTuckey Hi Martin, Could you give me just a hint on how you constructed the formation comprising templates 13 and 14? I am trying to construct a similar formation and started with a plain track curve of 250 feet at around 45 deg to the horizontal. I then applied a transition curve using 'easement to straight' and used the F4 key to give a straight extension past the goal post. I then used the 'insert turnout in plain track' command to insert a B7 turnout. However, at ...

... topic: 3784 meaning of 'to the control' posted: 29 Sep 2020 06:11 from: Jerry Goodwin I'm a bit baffled by all the 'something to the control' commands. I've read through the tutorials that talk about wiping, deleting, going from background to the control, etc, and I'm just befuddled. I understand that there is one control template that is the target of most commands. I sort of understand this as the 'foreground' template, while the others are 'background'. It's the template being controlled, I guess? Anyway, one selected template makes sense, but the sense of 'control' seems backwards. It's not controlling anything, it's the one being controlled and manipulated. But the way the 'xxx to the control' functions work isn't penetrating my brain. I think I'm hung up on the word 'to', trying to figure whether it means 'up to the control' (so "delete to the control" would delete everything up to the control, but not the control, except then what's the order of ...

You use whichever bit of it does the job. In this case roll rails, but that doesn't mean it would be the way to go in every case.

... topic: 1505 Development Version Icon posted: 20 May 2011 18:06 from: Alan McMillan Hi all I had an idea when I downloaded the development version. I don't use desktop icons, preferring to have all my regularly used programs in the quick launch menu instead (Windows XP in my case). It struck me that when I installed the TDV I would have two identical hard hat icons for both the normal and development versions of Templot with nothing to indicate which was which. That being the case I decided to modify the standard icon to create a red version for the TDV, attached here in a ZIP file. It should be placed in the C:TEMPLOT_DEV folder after being extracted from the ZIP file to a useful place on your PC. To have it show as the TDV icon, right click on the TDV EXE file and select "Properties", then "Change Icon" and browse to the C:TEMPLOT_DEV folder and double click the red icon. Click OK twice and there you have it, the Templot TDV ...
