... that they will be abandoning Flash in the face of such hostility. Our FBR files are equally lossless, so I'm reconsidering whether to abandon them. It does annoy me that I can view perfectly crisp videos here, exactly as originally recorded, but I can't seem to find a means to deliver them to everyone else. Who are thereby condemned to watch fuzzy screen videos, which is ok for a minute or two but liable to give severe headache after longer periods. cheers, Martin. posted: 25 Oct 2017 04:11 from: Matt M. While Flash does have some issues and Apple is a bit of a control freak, Apple's problems with it stem from the fact that two of the most aggressive trojan attacks on their OS were delivered using Flash. As Flash is something they can't control it is out. Apple has a tendency to do that with a few things. I have watched MP4 files of high quality on my computer so it may just be a codec compatibility issue. I have also seen some weird things graphically in Windows ...
... 18.2 EM, all your templates will now be in EM gauge. To alter the rail from Bullhead to Flat Bottom, go to the REAL, RAILS and select HEAD& FOOT and your templates will be in flat bottom. When I construct fiddle yard track I only put a sleeper in at about inch spacings and tend to miss every other one out on turnouts except under the nose where I build as per template. HTH Phil. Last edited on 5 Oct 2017 07:54 by Phil O posted: 5 Oct 2017 11:01 from: Tony W Hi Richie. Further to Phil's reply, you may also need to go to REAL, RAILS, FLARED ENDS MACHINED if your turnout checks have tapered ends rather than being bent and then go TEMPLATE, SWITCH SETTINGS and choose an appropriate Flat Bottomed switch type.

I noticed there are several places where you have used a regular type of V-crossing: 2_240523_120000000.png where it would achieve a better "flow" to use curviform V-crossings instead. Where you have contraflexure with a regular V-crossing, the vee splice rail also has contraflexure. Sometimes this is what you want (in a curved crossover for example). But in many cases where the intention is for the tracks to diverge, it ...
... topic: 1920 Common crossing Rail Breaks on Slips posted: 11 Apr 2012 09:46 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I know it's only a little niggle but it is leading to people making mistakes. Templot leaves the break where it would be on a Diamond Crossing. On a Slip it needs to be one timber nearer the common crossing. This is because you need the stock rail(s) to have one 'normal' chair (OK I know strictly speaking it isn't but you know what I mean) before the rail-joint, otherwise you are relying on the first slide rail chair as an anchor point for the rail. You can get away with this using soldered copperclad timbering but it isn't right and just try it with plastic chaired track.... When converting to a slip is it possible to make Templot do the alteration automatically? posted: 11 Apr 2012 10:57 from: Martin Wynne Borg-Rail wrote: Templot leaves the break where it would be on a Diamond Crossing.

... topic: 333 Printing on continuous roll paper via a dxf file posted: 11 Feb 2008 19:42 from: Gordon S I have finished my layout design which is 5.6m square. Part of the layout is a large terminus 5.6m long and just under 1m wide. I have grouped all the elements of the terminus together and used the export dxf file process to send a file to a print company who are endeavouring to print the terminus plan on continuous roll paper. The problem I have is that they are only seeing an A3 plan and not the full size. I have read the dfx help notes and sent both a "scale unchecked" version and another where I have checked the "scale" box and seen that the scale is set at 100%, both with the same result, they are only seeing an A3 file. Any ideas? Has anyone generated a large plan using dfx files? I have asked Martin and he can see no reason for it but suggested posting here. I will have to mail the file if required ...
... data security then a facility to dump to another disk and physically move it to another building is a must- I can advise off line about that if you like. Raid- avoid stripped Raid, which simply spreads your data across all your disks as if they were one; if one breaks you're still in trouble. Raid mirroring is OK but maybe not be needed with a good backup system. Other things; laptops are good space savers, but if you get burgled they're easier to nick than desktops.

... one has the means to run it? Where do you think you will be running Templot in 10 years time? Will it be necessary to chase the family off the big media screen in the front room -- because despite a house full of gadgetry there is nowhere else to run it? Or will it be possible to plug one of those digital photo frames into the kitchen toaster and run Templot on there?

... what he perceives as the less than clear path for doing so. To people who simply want to continue to use the program as they always have, these are not unreasonable viewpoints, which the fact that Martin has reasons for adopting this approach don't negate. So I suggest that rather than huff and puff at a message which represents the honest experience of one user, people should think constructively about the issues raised.

... of skewing and stretching but I'm very pleased with the result. I'm going to work out more accurate stretcher bar locations and confirm the track centres of the 4 lines within the Brunel part of the shed next. The track centres are important as supporting columns for the drawing offices above were located between the lines in the original carriage/ loco shed part. I'm still new to Templot really so any tips or suggests would be gratefully received. I hope to keep you posted! Cheers, Alex originally dated: 2008-03-11 00:12:43____ from: Paul Boyd Looks like an interesting project. I lived in Bristol for most of my life until I managed to escape, and I think it's a shame and somewhat ironic that the old station is just a car park now. As far as track spacing goes, this was originally built with broad gauge, and I vaguely remember seeing an engraving that shows four broad gauge tracks, so that should give you an idea. originally dated: 2008-03-11 ...
... topic: 1009 Starting in 2mm Scale/ N Gauge posted: 11 Jan 2010 08:34 from: kenbec Hello, I am very interested in making my own points. I am currently designing a layout in N gauge/scale, loosely based on UK Steam, using XTrkCad and Peco code 80 Nickel Silver Flexitrack, mainly because I have a lot of unused lengths from long ago. I have been waiting over 50 years for this layout so I would like to get it right or as close as possible. The reason your program interests me is because a) I love the sweeping point work on the prototype. b) Because Peco Points don't allow this to be done with any success, for example by the time a series of points have been set up to achieve the equivalent of say a scissors crossover they seem to stretch out to infinity. c) My rolling stock can have problems traversing Peco points, the reasons are not always the same. d) Because I think your program will help me to create point work the way ...
... -throw turnout, or a tandem turnout. More explanation here: http://templot.com/companion/3_way_tandem_turnouts.php Given that the radii differ, I imagine it is a tandem turnout. Is the middle road straight? What is the switch stagger? (The distance from the tips of the first switch blades to the tips of the second switch blades.) Metre gauge at 1:87 scale is 11.5mm. Is that your model gauge? What size of flangeway gaps do you use? cheers, Martin. posted: 11 Jul 2019 09:54 from: Bernard Haste Hello Martin, I got the details about the point wrong. I originally asked about this on the 18th October last year and the details are correctly stated there and there was a picture available of the point. The point has now been removed as part of station rebuilding. There are two three way points one after the other and I particularly like this arrangement and would like to model it. topic 3345 topic 3344- message 25922 Apologies, Bernard. posted: 11 Jul ...

... foot on every sleeper is an awful lot of unnecessary timber to pay for. There must be some photographs of these tracks from which we could compare dimensions? regards, Martin. posted: 20 Feb 2011 21:44 from: Adrian Marks And there was me thinking it was Brunel's influence... It is a strange dimension, and one I'm very close to dismissing as having been given, transcribed or printed in error. Tratman (ASCE Transactions 388 vol. xviii, June 1888), mentions the usual 8' 11" and 9' lengths, as well as an 8' 6", but no 10' lengths. However, Tratman's work encompassed only a small percentage of the Railway Companies of the period, and the Metropolitan was not one of them. Other evidence indicates that the Met. lines proper used 8' 11" sleepers so it would seem odd that its widened lines would be any different. I'm just loathe to dismiss it completely without having exhausted all possible avenues. Trying to find photos taken in 1890s/1900s ...

... , I think as long as it is possible to print the actual Templot track images for building track with OpenTemplot all the other stuff in Templot2 is not really needed. The extra work you would make for yourself if you felt obliged to do so would end up taking all your time. We all appreciate what you have provided for already without adding to more work for yourself. I think your enjoyment developing Templot would become an unwelcome ordeal if you ventured down that path. Best regards. Trevor. posted: 6 Sep 2018 11:01 from: madscientist Publish it all on GitHub.
