... 49 from: Martin Wynne See: http://quickpicbooks.homestead.com/Layout_design_contest.html posted: 12 May 2010 09:39 from: Brian Lewis Quite scandalous. Not only are the prizes miserable and cannot equate to the time and effort involved in creating the plan, but then they want your intellectual property as well! Seems to be a very cheap way of obtaining material for another layout book. Disgraceful. Regards Brian Lewis.

... important V's don't generate on the template. I have tried all the variations of the turnout geometry, but have concluded that there must be some simple parameter that I have missed — possibly in the custom template dialogues, and this screws up the correct creation of the regular crossing — and maybe other configurations of turnout and crossing templates yet to be encountered. Can anyone help point out what I am missing? I have attached a box file showing the problem. regards Keith Johnson Attachment: attach_2102_2669_7mm_Broad_Gauge.b ox 234 posted: 5 Apr 2015 10:14 from: Alan Turner Widen the track centres using Geometry/Adjacent Track Centres. regards Alan posted: 5 Apr 2015 10:40 from: keithj15 Hi Alan, This was my first thought too, being that it was easy, and during the setting up of the custom settings Templot "suggested" adjacent widths in excess of 113mm. Unfortunately this is one of those compromises that are not acceptable by the modellers as they are trying to stay true to the original plans, which have a 6ft way, as ...
183. print alignment
... topic: 1070 print alignment posted: 10 Mar 2010 18:05 from: tony polman i`m probably missing something simple but bear with me. is it possible to align each template so as it would be printed on a single sheet of A4? tried a couple of test prints last night and found some sections are cut lengthways at the edge of the paper. must be a way around this? posted: 10 Mar 2010 18:20 from: Paul Boyd Hi Tony You can set the page origin to do this, assuming the template is small enough to print on A4. From the 'print' menu, select 'page orientation/origin' then 'set page origin'. The rest is self-explanatory, and you can see the results of fiddling with the page origin on the screen before printing. This is something I do quite a lot!

Alexander is still working on the controls, so there are likely to be some changes. Several users have asked for a "replay from start" button, so that there is no need for the endless looping. There is also a lot of stuff which I left off, such as the "share on Facebook" social media functions. cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Jul 2019 08:10 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have just tried it on my laptop running Win 10 and on the last one, I have to scroll down to get the play buttons which then cuts the top off the display, my screen resolution is set to the recomended 1366 x 768.

V-crossing knuckle gaps are given in the table on this page: http://templot.com/martweb/templot_forum.htm although some of them appear to have been muddled up in a misprint. Yes it is called a wing rail. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Mar 2016 21:10 from: DerekStuart Thanks Martin. I have filed down a little more on the point rail and it is better. I will see what it is like when finished (the real thing isn't exactly smooth). From the diagrams it does seem that the back of the point rail is just a standard flangeway gap from the wing rail. How it doesn't get hit by the back of the flange I don't know but I will just accept that if it's good enough for LNER it's good enough for 4mm. Enjoy dinner. ...

... this has of course been discussed at length before, have a look at Jim Snowden's article(s) in MRJ (forget which one without looking it up- there is at least one index for MRJ on Scalefour's website) for a good introduction. posted: 9 Apr 2010 09:38 from: Brian Lewis When theory meets actual working practice, something has to give and this debate is becoming rather like that of the scientists who proved positively that bees could not fly. :-) I ran 0-XF for 10 years without problems and rest my case upon that fact. Regards Brian Lewis Martin Wynne wrote: A significant problem with 0-XF is that the dimensions don't add up, if it is intended as advertised for all existing G0G-Fine wheels. The quoted track gauge of 31.0mm min with a 1.2mm flangeway gives a check gauge CG of only 29.8mm. This is less than the wheel BEF of 30.0mm max, breaking the basic rule for all trackwork that BEF must not be greater than CG. In order to run properly ...
... all for your kind comments! I superimposed the satellite image to get the scale- just off the bottom of the screenshot is a 50ft scale marker, so I adjusted the image over the map in Photoshop until I got the best alignment, then used the 50ft mark with a 200mm grid in Templot to get the scale. The Templot bit isn't perfect, and subsequently looking at a photo of the left hand end (as in the screenshot) shows that the turnout is probably something more like 1:8 or 1:10 with a distinct S-bend to the other platform line. Still, it only took a few hours with just the satellite image and map to work from! posted: 13 Oct 2012 10:02 from: Paul Severs Neil Berrington wrote: The tricky area is really the flow of the goods yard- almost tandem turnouts.

... 091c, although I have changed some of them. The problem is that many folks have Windows set not to show the underlined accelerator keys until you press ALT. If you do that on a pop-up context menu, it kills the menu! Well done Mr. Gates. So I added the extra letters on the menu captions so that everyone can see them regardless. There isn't actually any changed program functionality at all. Likewise on the shove timbers dialog. All the buttons have accelerator keys and using the keyboard is 10 times faster than clicking them with the mouse. Now in Windows 7 you can't even get the underlines to show by pressing ALT. But they do still work. I can't believe that Windows 95 was actually quicker to use. So in due course I will add the extra letters to all buttons and menu items everywhere. It seems crazy to have such a useful feature fully working, but no-one can use it because you can't see which letter to press. regards, Martin. posted: 22 May 2011 12 ...
... topic: 951 Stupid is as stupid does! posted: 10 Oct 2009 18:37 from: marsa69 Hi all, My name is Mark and I'm new to Templot having just acquired it in the last 24hrs. All day I've been grappling with watching the tutorials and experimenting for myself. As you can imagine there have been many curses flying around the house and much gnashing of teeth Now as the title suggests I'm feeling a bit of a Forrest Gump. My first failure was in trying to draw the outline of my baseboards. I've searched the forum and folowed the guides but I still can't get an accurate drawing. All I need is two 4' x 2' boards end to end, then on the R/H end of these a 3' x 2' turned right through 90 degrees to form an 'L' shape. On the bottom edge of the 3' x 2' another 4' x 2' is added to extend the 'L'. I was hoping to be able to have an accurate baseboard drawing so that ...
... : 25 Sep 2007 01:34 from: donald peters A stunning piece of work by Rod Cameron. Wonderfully informative, full of scale detail, contrasty and exposing prototype textures and litter. If the RMJ or even the GWR Journal had this sort quality observation in them once more, I wouldn't hesitate to place a regular order again. Congratulations Donald Peters posted: 9 Jan 2008 21:30 from: Roderic Cameron Thanks for the kind comments- some more photos at Sheffield Park and Oakworth have been added subsequently. posted: 10 Jan 2008 06:53 from: Brian Lewis Beware: Advertising plug: Just a brief note to advise that almost all those items photographed- and many that were not, are available as 7mm lost wax castings in the C+ L Finescale range.

... , Rob, Remember that a check rail on one side controls what happens to the wheel on the opposite side. A higher check rail means the wheel can roll further forward past the knuckle while still being under the sideways control of the check rail, helping to prevent the opposite wheel flange from hitting, or passing to the wrong side of, the point rail. Quick diagrams of that, wheelset moving left to right: 2_091932_260000000.png Shows only the wheel flange, rest of wheel omitted. 2_101121_390000000.png cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2020 09:48 from: Julian Roberts Hi Martin, Paul, Rob I too couldn't see how the raised checkrail could help, till your explanation Martin. My problem with that is that in the one-fine-day drawer is a 2-10-0... For what it's worth, my single experimental wagon with EM flanges set to roughly 17.57 can't go the wrong way on this crossing. But it remains an experiment because it rolls far less freely. I can't see why the Dave Bradwell ...

Don had a model of Bangor (LNWR) in his loft and would run the "Irish Mail" with 14 coaches and on a couple of occassions managed to "strip" the gearbox on the loco!

In that dialog box you can select a turnout with a choice of switches and crossings and radii. But you can also select plain track, either straight or with ...
... :29 from: Colin Parks Thanks for that advice Phil. It seems like good idea in that it uses a rail in the template format. As I am only intending the position to be shown, the gauge can be calculated (cannot think of the exact measuement needed right now) and the best layout of the third rails plotted, without too much need for accuracy lengthwise (i.e. to one decimal place).

198. 3mm Society chairs
... chairs match those on the point chair sprue sold as TPP1. I have some of the older chairs, bought a long time ago, and frankly that tool had obviously long worn out! A picture of the plain chair sprue would be very useful! Cheers, Paul Hi Paul Very good question! Didn't even know these sprues existed! On the odd occasion I've needed to use individual chairs on plain track rather than use the plain track bases (e.g. when gauge widening) I've used the point chair sprues, which contain 10 plain chairs per sprue (as well as a slide chair and a check rail chair). Here's a point chair sprue: 528_201500_140000000.jpg and here's a point being built with them: 528_201501_330000000.jpg I'd suggest a question to the Society egroup.
