141. glueing track

Ian posted: 24 Dec 2011 17:27 from: Pete Williams I have successfully used copydex, however I have also had no problems with using clear silicone filler as used in Kitchens and Bathrooms. Pete posted: 24 Dec 2011 17:59 from: Pete Williams I should have said Silicone sealant, sorry folks Pete posted: 24 Dec 2011 22:11 from: JFS Hello Pete, I have used silicon sealant for sticking everything else, except model railway bits!! My only issue with it is that you cant get paint to stick to it now anything that has been anywhere near it- how did you get on with paint? Best Wishes, Howard.

Thank you again John posted: 12 Apr 2013 10:30 from: Hayfield I have just attached a quick plan of the proposed slip, I have only at this moment used rails without sleepers just to show the position of the 3 tracks. I overlayed a straight and curved diamond over a B6 then just added a slip road, I still have my doubts that it is buildable in 00 gauge. Any advice would be most welcome Thanks John Attachment: attach_1578_2194_offest_slip.box 255 posted: 12 Apr 2013 11:01 from: JFS I tried to post this a minute ago and it vanished into the ether- sorry if it dupes.Rapidly learning that it is a waste of time to try to use this forum with Google Chrome!

TIA Phil posted: 11 Dec 2014 11:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, You can't group background shapes, but you can move them one at a time, or you can move ALL of them in one go. To move them one at a time: 2_110623_310000000.jpg 1. select the shape in the list. It will show in red. You can see this better if you change to the "bright night" colour scheme. 2. click the modify shape tab. 3. click the shift by... button to enter the amount to move it, or use the mouse action: shift button to move it with the mouse. 4. click the other buttons to make other changes.

I too am looking at ply to construct my new layout. BTW, I like your approach of constructing your plans in card first. Can you tell me how I can scale my Templot plans to do something similar? many thanks Peter posted: 10 Oct 2012 13:11 from: Ian Allen Richard, Hardwood faced BB quality WBP plywood should be more than sufficient for your needs. CC quality allows for cracks/joints/knot holes and insect bore holes, whereas BB will be slightly higher quality with holes filled and sanded at source. We built BB grade baseboards for the O gauge railway and these have resided in an uninsulated, garage with temperature and humidity variations for over 12 years with no signs of deformation etc. They haven't been varnished or painted either.

146. Windows8 ?
... topic: 2157 Windows8? posted: 11 Feb 2013 11:06 from: Martin Wynne Windows8 has now been available for a few months and is receiving a very mixed reaction. And no reaction at all from Templot users? I'm assuming that no news is good news and that Templot installs and runs on Windows8 without any problems. But it would be nice if someone said so. Or not. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Feb 2013 11:19 from: Glen Suckling Hi Martin, As far as I am concerned your assumption is correct. TEMPLOT runs fine in Windows 8. Just one note- during the installation process Windows 8 decided, all by itself, that it was going to run TEMPLOT in XP compatability mode. I did not change this setting. It did the same thing for dBASE Plus. Glen posted: 11 Feb 2013 13:29 from: PRChappell Hi Martin I have be using Templot2 under Windows 8 and so far everything seems fine. I guess it is "No News is Good News"!! ...
... functions in pad_unit. More investigation needed. I have rarely made much use of the Sender parameter, my guess is it would be the TButton on which the accelerator key appears. Do we need to use it? Just test for the key character and fire the relevant button. There is a lot of keyboard stuff in pad_unit, see the Tpad_form.FormKeyDown and Tpad_form.FormKeyPress event functions. However, if ALT+ key works on the child forms, we don't need to do anything else. cheers, Martin. posted: 3 Dec 2019 11:19 from: Graeme Martin Wynne wrote: I have rarely made much use of the Sender parameter,.... Hmmmm. It sounds as though I have misunderstood the problem (or perhaps invented one where none exists). I was picturing a parent with two or more children who each had the same accelerator key and the parent had to deal with them, in the process trying to figure out which child's accelerator had been triggered. If that's not the case under discussion, please ignore my babble. Cheers ...
... topic: 3063 Beginner 2nd (or 3rd) time around posted: 15 Aug 2017 11:18 from: Andrew Howlett Dear Martin& fellow Templotters, I purchased Templot 0.74A on 28/09/2002 and did have a go at learning it then, but have forgotten 99% of it since! I've now started a new project- ordered the shed, booked a builder to lay the concrete foundation, booked the electrician, and drawn the track plan on the back of an envelope (designed around Peco 0-gauge track. Last night at the club I was told I should be building my own C&L track, so I guess I should be drawing up the plan in Templot as well. If there is anyone who can spare a few minutes give me a nudge into the right menus in those new dark unknown areas that were not even a twinkle in Martin's eye when I first started, I should be most grateful. Firstly I need to draw a 24ft by 13ft rectangle (the shed), followed by a second ...
149. Old Rail?
... topic: 520 Old Rail? posted: 11 Aug 2008 02:43 from: GeoffJones A question for our historians, but nothing to do with Templot I recently moved to the village of Pontesbury in Shropshire and walking the dog along the old railway track near Pontesbury station I have noticed the remains of an old sign supported by a steel post shaped as shown in the attached rough sketch. The apex is slightly sloped to one side, suggesting either design or wear from wheels. The base is about 150mm across. Is this a piece of very old rail (possibly narrow gauge) or just some sort of heavy angle iron used for such purposes. It does seem pretty hefty for simply supporting a sign. I haven't had time to find out much about the line yet but I do know that it was a single line branch of the Shrewsbury and Welshpool Joint Railway and the principal traffic was lead from the mines at Snailbeach which was brought down to Pontesbury station on a 2ft 4 1/2in narrow gauge line. Any ideas? Regards Geoff ...
... If you want to include the centre crossing, you then have to start getting into partial templates, but for track construction you don't need that centre crossing on the template. If you let us know what scale/gauge you're modelling, I'm sure you will be inundated with box files :-) As far as learning Templot goes, you really do need to persist with the tutorials. I'm the last person to plough through tutorials, but I was getting absolutely nowhere until I did. Then it all clicked! posted: 11 Aug 2008 00:13 from: class76 i model in em gauge. I have gone thru the tutorials but with my children etc i dont get much time to actually do anything so time is limited at the minute but i really want to get the hang of the program. But the layout is actually starting to take shape wood is down templates are their just need this damn 3 way done then i can build the whole thing.

151. My First Points
... runs well enough to say as much on the web site. Clearly there are trade description issues if I say it does, and then users run into problems. I've been very wary about claiming that Templot runs anywhere other than on a Windows PC, but that's not very helpful for intending users who don't have that option. I feel that I ought to have a definitive yes/no answer for them, but at present I can only repeat what others have told me. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Feb 2011 11:47 from: BeamEnds Martin Wynne wrote: How long have you been using Templot? Is it possible these templates were derived from some originally created in version 0.68.c (March 2001) or earlier? In later versions I changed the check rail dimensioning, and this may be a bug in the normalizing code. Off to have a look. Hi Martin, I think I got Templot in 2007 or so, I had to upgrade to the current pug shortly afterwards. Now you mention it the little grey cells report an ...

... topic: 2121 Using Templot for miniature railways posted: 11 Dec 2012 20:33 from: Ron Mitchell Hi, I'm attempting to follow the quick guide to creating a slip but fall at the first hurdle because it refers to terms that don't appear on the screen. This diamond is likely to be my winter's work, so I won't be an intensive user of what I can see is a fantastic resource that really does deserve more of my time to learn- but can't have it because the rest of the yard needs to be built! Does any reader have the time to complete the attached drawing for me? The slip needs to be about 12192mm radius.

154. TDV feedback
... topic: 1650 TDV feedback posted: 10 Oct 2011 16:11 from: leo_sandstrom Hi This is a bit overdue but I feel that its finally time for me to provide some feedback. Ill start by saying that I have finally scaled the initial learning cliff, and I now have some basic understanding of how the program works. But to be honest I have not delved to deep into advanced track templates yet due to a lack of time. When I start the normal Templot as a new user I was faced with a program panel. Pressing the X in the top hand corner closes the program, quess what the first thing I did, I closed Templot because I wanted to get rid of the program panel. For a Windows user it makes no sense to press the workpad button when you start the program. Look at 95% of the office programs, you start with a blank screen and possibly some tooltip help and then you start working. (or an empty template) A great example is Solidworks where you start with a ribbon ...
... topic: 1578 American standards for 0 scale/gauge posted: 28 Jul 2011 22:50 from: Glen Suckling Hi Martin, While you are preparing the current major revision to TEMPLOT would it be too much trouble to update the scale/gauge data that TEMPLOT uses for American O scale/gauge (NMRA-O )? TEMPLOT currently lists NMRA-O as 9/32" per foot scale running on 11/4" gauge track. I know that there is a prototype for everthing and I am sure that somebody, somewhere is using 9/32" =1 foot scale on 11/4" gauge track but I do not know that person. My modelling aquaintances in America are not aware of that scale/gauge being used nor is 9/32" per foot scale referenced in the NMRA standards. There are three commonly used standards for O scale/gauge modelling of standard gauge (4' 81/2 ") railroads in the USA. These three probably account for 99.9% of all of the O scale ...
... had a better look at your track plan and I am afraid there are several issues that need looking at. Although your design of curved scissors and double slip will work and you have correctly used straight cut switches for your turnouts. You have used the standard track centres of 44.67mm to generate all your parallel tracks. This is alright for straight track and curves down to about 8800mm radius, but for sharper curves increased track centres are required. This is a common error. To allow for vehicle end and centre throw between templates 11 and 12 they should be at 53mm centres for 1067mm radius and between templates 28, 30 and 40 they should be at 49mm centres for 2085mm radius. This can be adjusted using the Adjacent track centres option under the Geometry drop down menu before generating double track, crossovers etc. Altering these will affect the design of the scissors crossover and give more room for the slip roads at that end. Your Tandem turnout in the platform will not work as it stands as the switch blades of the second turnout are much to close ...

... Paul, although you say you don't want it "millimetre perfect", it does have to be that when you build it, especially in P4. Bear in mind that the rail is less than 1mm wide. You can fudge things a bit during construction, but generally if something doesn't align properly in the plan, you may find there is no way to get it quite right when laying the track. I will look at this and make a bit of video later. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Aug 2013 11:01 from: Alan Turner Paul Willis wrote: Alan Turner wrote: OK but I attach a plan which tides things up. Alan Thanks Alan. What was the procedure that you used for tidying that section up and snapping it into the turnouts? I tried various adjustments and couldn't make them align.
