161. slip crossovers
... topic: 3664 slip crossovers posted: 11 May 2020 11:59 from: Martin Wynne Templot can create slip crossovers directly: tools> make slip> make slip crossover menu items. In a herculean feat of memory, a topic on the Scalefour forum has reminded me of an article I wrote 20 years ago, which turns out to be still on the server: http://templot.com/info/slips.htm I can't remember if or when I last posted the link, but when I created the make slip function it would have made sense to add the link to the Companion, or include it on its own page. Perhaps I did? Everything is getting a bit muddled in my head these days. http://templot.com/companion/slips.php cheers, Martin. posted: 11 May 2020 21:10 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thanks for the reminder re the slip crossovers- certainly useful. When extending the generated crossover( with or without slip roads) is there an easy way to remember which leg of each ...
... topic: 3061 Irregular switch-diamond posted: 13 Aug 2017 11:05 from: Martin Wynne A short irregular diamond fitted with movable K-crossings (switch-diamond) because of the sharp curve, even though the angle is quite short. Also mechanically worked and with facing-point locks both ways -- making a nice collection of rods and cranks: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pics-by-john/14706658048/in/photostream/ Thanks to John Woolley.

... were added to the menu to allow the control template stay hidden by default, this would please those of us who prefer to work that way. This is not meant as a criticism as I follow your reasoning with the beginners, but for those of us more familar with it, the greater flexibility would be appeciated. Tony. posted: 4 Aug 2012 00:40 from: Simon Dunkley I like it as it is, Martin, and as you say, it can be switched off. posted: 4 Aug 2012 11:03 from: Martin Wynne For those who want more options, I have changed the menu: 2_040559_260000000.png The default setting is to hide the control template only briefly, as in 205d. This option setting is included in your program preferences. Will be in the next update. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Aug 2012 11:55 from: Nigel Brown Hi Martin Never had a real problem with the control template.

My anti-virus program bitterly contested my efforts to update to 215a, but eventually my will prevailed, and I decided to test the new map importation capability at Templecombe, some way south of my last effort. Incidentally, in case it assists an understanding of my observations, I'm running ...
... . The file is called templot pages posted: 14 Sep 2019 17:29 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tom, What page size is Templot showing on the print preview screen? Try changing the paper size to say A3. You can gradually increase it when you get it running. I'm going to try installing the driver on my old Windows7 system so that I can see what you are seeing. (There doesn't seem to be a driver available for Windows10.) cheers, Martin. posted: 14 Sep 2019 18:11 from: Tom Allen i chose to print a grouped single point at 10% size from the initial screen and it printed a page 8m wide and 18m long at 10% when i stopped it, heaven knows what it would have stopped at lengthwise if i had let it go. The point was perfectly printed at 10% and i did choose only to print group templates. Normally it would have only printed the grouped point and no more.There isn't a driver for this printer above 7 Last edited on 14 Sep 2019 18 ...
... and straight timbers all fitted together might be fun. I think you'd have to work around all the crossings first, then fill in with the rest. It's a bit of a bonkers formation though, something that the GE seem to have excelled at. posted: 31 Dec 2012 10:56 from: Paul Boyd Thanks for the photos. Isn't it just a scissors, with the curve of the formation pushing the centre diamond into one of the running lines? Does look fun to build though! posted: 31 Dec 2012 11:53 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote: Thanks for the photos. Isn't it just a scissors, with the curve of the formation pushing the centre diamond into one of the running lines? Does look fun to build though! Hi Paul, Well maybe, but hardly "just" a scissors. In a normal scissors crossover, all 4 crossings of the diamond lie within the 6ft way between the running lines. This is not affected by the radius in the running lines, you can curve such a scissors ...
167. Changes in 218d
... only if a. it is a large track plan, say more than 50 background templates, some quite long, and b. you zoom out further than the rectangle. If you zoom inside the rectangle you won't see any difference from using the rectangle, it should be faster than before regardless. But only for large track plans. If you have a high-end fast system, the improvement may be only minor. It is definitely making a difference here. cheers, Martin. posted: 12 Feb 2018 23:11 from: Philip Griffiths Hello Martin, I'm getting a weird response when running on Parallels. The right hand side of the screen is missing, and when I select a template it appears then exists in ghost format. regards [img]blob: http://85a.co.uk/bbb20c24-8efa-4434-af7e-7bf5866674b7 [/ img] Attachment: attach_2637_3214_screen_grab_templ ot.jpeg 261 Last edited on 12 Feb 2018 23:12 by Philip Griffiths posted: 12 Feb 2018 23:38 from: Martin Wynne Hi Philip, Is ...

You seem to be opening up a real can of worms here. posted: 21 Oct 2017 11:26 from: John Palmer The purpose of detection is to prove that a point tongue has assumed the correct position for clearance of its related signal. For this reason a detector rod is connected to a point tongue (toe of switch), rather than to the stretcher bar. If the detector rod were attached to the stretcher bar and that stretcher had become disconnected from its associated switch rails, detection would prove nothing about the position of the switch tongues. In the Getty image, the detector rod is attached to ...
169. Templot GUI Control
... there. I have edited the attached script to remove the \Program Files folder from the path. Templot won't work properly if you put it there in Windows Vista or Windows 7. I strongly recommend that you either leave it on the default C:\TEMPLOT\ or else create your own folder for Templot such as: F:\RAIL\MODELS\TEMPLOT\ Don't install Templot in a folder belonging to Windows or a sub-folder within one. regards, Martin.

I just edited it before uploading to be something familiar to most Windows users. I seriously question your comment about using standard Windows folders. As Templot only runs on Windows (any chance of a Mac version?) it really should conform to standard Windows conventions, e.g. with the software under Program Files and ...

173. Admin: server move
... topic: 875 Admin: server move posted: 20 Jun 2009 11:56 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, It's now 6 months since Templot Club moved to web hosting in Columbus, Ohio, under the watchful care of Jim Hale at Data 1 Systems. Generally it has been a great success, with none of the occasional database errors and backup problems which we used to get before. The only errors have been those perpetrated by yours truly. However, UK connection speed has not always been as fast as it might be, and there was one weekend when many UK members lost connection entirely for a couple of days. Jim is now suggesting that we move down the road to a different data centre in Columbus with faster and more reliable connections to the UK. My tests have indicated a significantly faster connection, but before I say yes, I would like to be sure that everyone will be able to access the new server and with good connection speed. Can I ask you all therefore to try clicking this link. It is another ...

Stephen, their web site says: "our machine sizes allow us to print up to 1.5m in width on ink jet roll materials up to 30m in length" which easily covers the sizes you wanted.

180. Unwanted Sleepers
... topic: 2596 Unwanted Sleepers posted: 11 Dec 2014 20:08 from: Paul Scott On my layout plan I have several unwanted sleepers that have appeared. They occur where templates join in the space between the last sleeper on one template and the first on the adjoining template in the gap where there should not be a sleeper. If I try to 'Omit' it on the Shove Sleepers box it does not highlight and will not go away. They have a different number to the other sleepers on the template and if you select it by typing in the number it just says it belongs to another template. I have tried and tried to get rid of them but this problem has got me beat. Can anyone help please. Regards, Paul posted: 11 Dec 2014 20:37 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, If the unwanted sleepers won't omit, you may have duplicate templates. Can you post your .box file?
