And do you have a decent vice engineering for preference? It may be possible to manufacture proper V crossings, without to much difficulty. posted: 27 Jun 2020 11:36 from: Igor Kurgan I have some vice's but i think you mean something like the vice in the picture? The crossing angels are varying a lot, for some of them i could make ten in one go, becous some turn outs and crossings will be the same. 3669_270624_420000000.jpg Thanks in advance, best. posted: 27 Jun 2020 15:13 from: Phil O Hi Igor, Looks like it should be OK and you should be OK with making a bending jig, like the sketch. 38_270954_330000000.png Sorry ...
... really good on the 'workpad', I'm glad it turned out that way. Hi Brian, It can look equally good on the sketchboard, the user can change the resolution settings to suit. It's the usual trade-off between image quality and response speed, and the graphics capabilities on the user's system. Here are a couple of sketchboard views at higher resolution (with the tracks in "detail" mode): 2_192123_480000000.png 2_192124_180000000.png And a zoomed-in pad view: 2_192123_170000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 20 Sep 2010 11:23 from: Martin Wynne Brian Nicholls wrote: I have attached a sample GIF file of the signal box scaled at 4mm to 1 foot. Hi Brian, I'm a bit mystified by what you mean there? GIF images don't contain any real-world dimensions and can be stretched/shrunk on the sketchboard to any size the user desires. Obviously the original prototype has some real-world dimensions, and these are the only ones which can be referenced with any meaning. For example your signal box is 73ft long ...

What counts is how many pixels? I just tried an 8MB upload at 4789x3327 pixels which worked fine. But that's about the limit, i.e 16MP (megapixels), for the server-side resizing. If you have a DSLR with more than 16MP and you are uploading straight off the camera, please crop or resize ...

... : 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). All the best, Colin Last edited on 30 Jan 2017 15:35 by Colin Parks posted: 10 Feb 2017 11:42 from: Phil O Hi All I have been asked to Templot a 3rd rail track plan in 00, does anyone have a suggestion as to what "gauge" to set the 3rd rail too, it's a Southern Region layout.

... construction each timber needs isolation gaps fitted. posted: 8 Feb 2020 10:56 from: madscientist Thanks john, I've always built my own track. But this is just a design excercise, it sounds like I can't do anything until after Kettering, if we can get the template sets. Very annoying that a track manufacturer sells the paper templates, OTT in my opinion. It reminiscent of people asking me to pay for their price lists Last edited on 8 Feb 2020 10:57 by madscientist posted: 8 Feb 2020 11:56 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, Dave, It's interesting that the Marcway turnout kits contain cast crossings, but for their ready-built turnouts they say- "and rail built throughout with no cast or moulded parts employed to give optimum quality, appearance and durability" Dave, I think you need to be quite sure what you are getting. If the kits include cast crossings you need to know the angle and the flangeway gap so that you can create Templot turnouts to match. If as they say the ...

I did notice in passing that RC is being discussed on the Scalefour forum, but I haven't yet studied those topics. My main interest at present is not the RC, but to create 3D printed track, test its durability, wear resistance under traffic, ease of assembly, ease of printing, user interface in Templot, etc. You have probably noticed in the current Templot versions that the DXF export dialog is now a work-in- ...
... topic: 3637 Editing template elements posted: 11 Apr 2020 14:42 from: keithj15 Hi A friend at my local club, knowing I liked a Templot challenge to test his track building skills, decided to ask me to draw him up a complex group of turnouts and crossings at the entrance of a proposed fiddle yard. This period of enforced isolation during CoronaVirus, seemed to offer the ideal opportunity to sit down and revive my wider knowledge of the program. Alas, having not used Templot for a couple years other than to print out the odd template, I find myself back in the land of "the beginner" once again! Previously, I had tackled (with Martin's help) to work out turnouts designs for On30 and 7mm scale dual gauge Broad& Standard turnouts and crossings, and these involved a fair amount of editing. However, Templot 2 v2.25d and the imminent release of Templot 3, the program now includes options for 3-ways, tandems and slips that were not there before. I used to have to alter turnouts ...
... way of doing this is to select them as a group, so you can see clearly which templates you have chosen, then open the storage box and select the Group drop down menu. Choose the Wipe group from background option. This does not delete them but makes them unused. To add the new templates use the add file button in the Storage box and select the Carriage siding group file. The new sidings will be added in their correct place. Regards Tony. Attachment: attach_1941_2493_Carriage_sidings _group.box 320 posted: 6 Sep 2014 11:33 from: Michael Woolford Tony, Having just had a look at the changes, I started to think about why you had not trapped the two roads leading into the main road; then I looked closer and realised that you had included the trap in the turnout. For some reason, it is not something I have seen modeled very often and it is nice to be able to include. It certainly makes the arrangement look tidier. Thanks again, Michael posted: 11 Oct 2014 14:56 from: Michael ...
111. I wish it would...
... yard, I realised that I was repeatedly performing a similar operation and posited that it could have been somewhat simpler if there was an additional option on the 'geometry'-> 'peg positions' dialogue to move the peg over the notch- which is greyed out unless and until, the notch is within the bounds of the control template. I had a look round the other menus, but either couldn't find it or didn't realise the wording represented what I wanted to achieve. TIA, Best rgds, Dave P posted: 11 Mar 2014 02:50 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, I'm afraid you have lost me. Can you explain in more detail or post a screenshot showing what you are trying to do? The geometry> notch> shift onto notch menu item is never greyed out. You can always shift the peg on the control template onto the notch -- but of course it takes the whole control template with it. It doesn't change the position of the peg within the template. I think you are trying to move the ...
... topic: 2988 Re-instate a group from storage box posted: 24 Feb 2017 11:31 from: Godfrey Earnshaw I have split my project into 3 phases. All templates in phase_1 are background templates. Templates in phase 2 were grouped, given the prefix phase_2 and wiped (Group>wipe group). Phase 3 templates were treated similarly. Consequently all my templates are in the Storage Box (Ctrl B) the Background templates in red and all other templates in blue. How can I restore phase_2 (and phase_3) to background as a group, I have tried, Group>restore group and many other combinations in the Storage Box. Help Please. posted: 24 Feb 2017 12:11 from: Martin Wynne Hi Godfrey, Assuming you mean you used the built-in prefix tags, (i.e. in square brackets) use the functions on the trackpad menus, not on the storage box. On the trackpad, group> create smaller group> group by prefix tag> your tag. Then if all the group templates ...

For those of you that aren't, here is the link. http://www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f =9 &t =5707 I have just posted the Box file there, but cannot post the background shapes to go with it, so I will post them here.

... topic: 1199 Difficulty getting started posted: 11 Aug 2010 20:32 from: roythebus Well, I suppose it's me either being too old to learn, or having a blonde year, but having spent ages trying to master Templot, I can't even get the crossover I've just drawn to print. I was hoping to be able to rebuild my current layout more prototypically using Templot, but personally I find it extremely complicated to use. I've looked at the videos and it all seems too easy, but reality is different to what is shown on some of the videos. for instance, I make a simple curved crossover on double track. I then try to modify one of the turnouts to get an easier radius, but then another turnout appears at random on the overall plan. I then find I can't print the original crossover, despite going into the template store; there's no print box shown. Has anyone yet written an idiots guide to Templot yet, or is there anyone out there who fancies doing a rather large layout plan? I ...
... construct these with conventional 'A' and 'B' crossing chairs. Re-working the top left to top right connection so as to use two ordinary turnouts rather than combining them into an outside slip might make it easier for you to position the two lower crossings on the right hand side further apart. Then 'A' and 'B' crossing chairs for these might fit. Once you have a formation that will accommodate these standard crossing chairs I suspect the timbering problems will become much easier to solve. Last edited on 10 May 2014 11:43 by John Palmer posted: 10 May 2014 11:54 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, I would echo John's comments. Also, the two inner V-crossings on the right are not properly checked -- the two check rails on the diamond roads need extending, as at the left-hand end of the formation. I agree with John that it would make sense to change the upper slip road to a half-scissors. A double outside slip is a rare formation and in that context it ...
... topic: 2900 Detailed template list posted: 11 Jul 2016 12:30 from: rynd2it Hi, I've tried to search for this but no luck so far. Is there a way of producing a list of all (or some) of the templates in my box file which includes the specifications of things like turnouts? I can find a way to list all the templates but that just shows the number, name and type. For things like turnouts the specs (type, radius, angle etc) would be useful to create a shopping list for track parts, kits etc. Many thanks David posted: 11 Jul 2016 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi David, On the storage box window, if you click the box> show cumulative box data menu item, you can see the total length of the templates and the total length of timbering. "Timbering" means the total length of pointwork timbers and plain track sleepers combined. For all the template info, click the box> print all template info PDF> menu items. ...

118. GW Turnouts
... topic: 1893 GW Turnouts posted: 30 Mar 2012 16:35 from: Phil O Hi Martin I seem to be getting a problem with the turnout templates, in that they were all done from a master template Great Western turnout as far as the crossing was concerned IE blunt nose set at 11/16ths and 4 inches from the timber Centre Line which I had set up in EM Gauge. I converted this to 00 for the purpose of this layout. When I started to sort out the timbering to suit Mr Smith's book I checked the dimensions of the first few turnout's at the left hand end of the layout and find that the fine point was 0.01mm and the centre of the timber to the fine point is 5.25 inches, so I started resetting them, on reopening the file the information is giving me these dimensions but looking at the template they look OK. I have opened up an earlier version with similar results> Have I done something wrong or is it a glitch. I attach the box files. I am using XP home ...
... topic: 1176 interlaced sleepers on a 3-way turnout posted: 24 Jul 2010 11:40 from: Mike Waldron Has anyone produced a 3 way turnout with interlaced sleepers? Apparently they were fashionable in the early days of the LB&SCR. Would value any help possible Mike Last edited on 24 Jul 2010 11:53 by Mike Waldron posted: 26 Jul 2010 10:23 from: Mike Waldron I have just been running the 3 way Tandem turnout video- which is great- but I have not quite worked out how to get to the starting point- namely to being with both turnouts stripped of their central timbers. Added to which, I am working with interlaced sleepers instead of some of the timbers- LBSCR pre 1900 practise. I suspect that the timbers left out are the ones I will be interlacing- from the rear of the switches to the 4 timbers that the crossing and check rails are set on. It's just getting to that stage I'm not sure of. The rest I can work out from the video. ...
... bugs, nearly 20 years ago with Windows98 and never changed since. Why Microsoft continue to provide this with Windows10, with no apparent intention to replace it, is something of a mystery. Presumably the idea is that everything in future will be done via the web. After so many false starts over the years, I want to get it right this time. And never have to change it again. At present I favour EXE plus FBR video tutorials but welcome your feedback. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Oct 2015 11:02 from: JFS Hello Martin, Just had a quick play and all seem to work and would no doubt do the job. I suppose that, as much as anything, it comes down to which ever works easiest for you! My only comment about the exe version was that it seemed to take an inordinately long time to "fire up"- even with AVAST disabled. After it had been run once it seemed to run much quicker. I don't know what it is or how it works, but ...
