... way you would prefer people to use Templot I can see a lot of 'beginners' using it to join up templates scattered over the workpad- in a similar way to joining up the turnout 'paper' templates used to be done by many on the baseboards. That is assuming the beginner can find the menu and recognize the terminology Rob posted: 10 Aug 2019 00:58 from: John Palmer Very useful addition to the toolkit- looking forward to using this when the update comes around. Thank you, Martin. posted: 11 Aug 2019 13:03 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the comments. I've taken this a bit further, and included automatic trimming of the background template. It can be undone if not wanted using undo changes. Also the start position for a fillet radius can be selected with the peg, CAD-style.

... topic: 3008 Make a diamond crossing posted: 11 Apr 2017 09:55 from: Panos Tsirigotis HelloAs you can see at the attached image I have 2 tracks (with no timbers as they are on a paved area) that cross& overlap one another. What I want to do is to make a diamond crossing by these two tracks. Is there any function that merges the tracks to form the junction? Thank you in advance Attachment: attach_2404_3008_Crossing.jpg 361 posted: 11 Apr 2017 11:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Panos, Have one template as the control template and the other as the background template. Click on the background template to get its menu on the left. On that menu click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item. However, that works only where the resulting diamond-crossing is flatter than 1:1.5 angle. Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you may be looking for a much shorter crossing than that. In which case you would need to create it manually using multiple ...

I am getting to grips with simple LH or RH points and curved ones BUT How do I create a non-symmetrical Y point? I'm trying to create one with a 60" (1523mm) Right Hand radius (Main) and a 66" (1676mm) Left Hand radius (Branch)? I'm totally totally flummoxed! I've looked at various examples from the past but either the links to extra info are missing or as in one example – Method 3 (posted: 13 Oct 2012 09:02) – "Start with two lengths of curved plain track crossing over each other,." and using". menu, click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item."- nothing happens??

... /products/win2pdf.htm I tested several of these PDF generators a few years ago and came to the conclusion that Win2PDF produced the best match to Templot's native print output. But that was then -- no doubt they have all upgraded since then, and also we now have the excellent Foxit Reader as an alternative to Adobe for printing PDF files. The most important point is to remember to set page scaling to "None" when printing templates from PDF. See also this topic: topic 604 regards, Martin. posted: 11 Sep 2009 17:01 from: richard_t How did the printing go? And was it as cheap as they suggested? What's the quality of the paper?

The K-crossings at the centre of a diamond-crossing must all be the same angle, or very close. The way to do this is with the irregular diamond functions.

... topic: 3014 Exactoscale P4 Company turnout bases posted: 17 Apr 2017 11:00 from: Hayfield I have a question about the Exactoscale P4 Company pre-formed turnout bases, I understand that when designing these bases they are for P4 turnouts but I am thinking of using them for EM gauge, I have printed off a standard turnout template from Templot and have found there are a couple of subtle differences. One which is easy to overcome on an A5 turnout, is that at the heal end it is a Timber short. Another is that as the base has the same number of sleepers but as you would expect the length is 5 mm longer, which I believe is easy to overcome. One issue which may not be as easy to overcome is the length of some timbers, from the toe end Plan Base 4 6 Goes into the next timber length by 2 timbers 4 4 Problem continues as above 4 3 Only one timber out of register 2 1 Problem solved There are 5 timbers potentially too short, I could remove 2 timbers and ...

In the past I have built turnouts using the straight soldered to copper method. I would like to progress to a method that allows the rail to be lifted above the timbers and then chaired as discussed above. Plastic chairs and sleepers seems a possible way but I do like the strength of soldered track. I have seen ...
... it by eye: 2_072132_220000000.png It looks a bit odd, but I think it is doable in P4. There is some fine tuning of check and wing rails needed for running clearances -- the 1:6 V-crossing is nearer the running rail than is strictly desirable. The first switch is a 12ft RH straight switch leading to a 1:6 V-crossing. The second switch is a 15ft RH straight switch leading to a 1:8.5 V-crossing. The middle V-crossing is about 1:11. It needs a bit more work because of the transition curve. p.s. It is not a "point". It is a "turnout", or in this case two turnouts in tandem. A "point" in railway terminology is a single switch blade, and two of them make a "pair of points". I have edited the topic title accordingly. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Jul 2013 09:33 from: JFS Are there no photos of this area? Howard posted: 8 ...

... : 14 Feb 2019 09:35 from: Andrew Howlett In 7mm I also build loose-heel switches as loose heel with C&L lost wax fishplates. In addition I drill 0.95mm hole through the rail web on the blades and 1.00mm holes through closure rails at the tie-bar. A length of 0.9mm brass wire is passed through the 4 holes and soldered to the blades. The wire is then cut away between the blades, thus simulating the prototype tie-bar extensions.
