... it might be better on one plan, versus the ECoS on two) then the length would possibly have to double to bring in both approaches as the plan is opened out. I would then need to forget the actual layout of the track work completely and just focus on the diagram. That may be easier once all the LED's are in place as then I can see the route settings easily, rather than trying to make sense of the ECoS plan. I hope that makes sense....

It may well be the finished panel size is dictated by the track thickness, hence the approximate dimensions. I shall build a mock up first with printed A4 sheets to see if all the associated electronic will fit in the base and then adjust the finished panel size up or down once I can see it all fits easily.

... a gauge which fits it properly. It is under scale width anyway at 0.82mm. Scale BS-95R bullhead rail should be 0.92mm wide. At the very least get a proper check gauge tool. The 00-SF check gauge tool is interchangeable with 00-BF, and with a bit of luck Brian on the 00-SF group has a few left. Then get your rail from C&L or Exactoscale or EMGS or S4 Soc and check that it fits the gauge tools snugly. regards, Martin. posted ... than a full blown townscape. This will allow me to keep the depth of boards to be less than 4' which should allow rear access. The long curve certainly makes for a far more interesting plan and visually is a big improvement.

... It relates the possibility of buffer locking to the radius of the reverse curves and in particular the length of the intervening straight. I don't know where it came from, and I certainly don't understand the maths. I haven't made any use of it as my interests focus on much older and much shorter rolling stock. Obviously it only relates to pushing stock.

Some previous work on this design was developed by others primarily with a focus on prototypical MR/LMS period operations (ie minimimum facing points etc) and suggested the following schematic. This eliminates the slip and simplifies the details 2A and 2B with the inclusion of simply catch points also at these locations. I will eliminate the short siding ... If you are using RTR stock with centre auto-couplings/buffers then you can of course go down to much sharper train-set curves, although you will need to provide gauge widening for both 00-SF and stock converted to EM. For 00-BF gauge-widening isn't needed, but the problems with functional side-buffers on curves may be worse. You might find the 00-SF group helpful in deciding between 00 and EM.

... lines but I noticed recently that, even with 0.2 mm nozzles, most of the time (I have not quantified the amount precisely) goes into printing the chairs rather than the timbers. I concluded two nozzles were not worth the effort and decided it's better to focus on things that would make the printing process as repeatable as possible. With filament printing it's always going to take a fair bit of time and there really isn't a way to get around that. It's a serial process that requires the acceleration of massive objects. ... are X= 65mm, Y= 120mm and Z= 200mm.

Gordon -- I noticed your file is all in 00-BF instead of 00-SF. That will make a slight difference to the lead lengths of the templates. That doesn't matter too much for turnouts, but it's very important for diamond-crossings and slips to create the template at the same track gauge which you ...

... topic: 1044 Print Alignment Problems posted: 9 Feb 2010 22:40 from: David Hiya Guys Been reading through forum for similar problem and could only find Possible Printer Calibration issues. I am fairly condident that my Printer is Calibrated ok, yet I am having fairly big discrepancies over 3 A4 sheets joined together in Landscape origination. During printer configuration the outer box of the printout measures 180mm x 240mm, yet when the proof sheet is printed out the horizontal bar measures 150mm, but the vertical bar only measures 249.5mm, instead of the 250mm expected. The Roller Factor is 100% and the Head Factor is 100%. On printout of a few sheets of A4 paper to join together, the grid spacings seem really good at 50mm(they had been 52mm), yet on a staggered A4 paper layout, when jointing together, the placing of an A4 sheet centred on the joint of 2 A4 sheets below, show the sheet out of alignment by 1mm at either end of the sheet. The only reason I would question this, is ...
... it was an extra fine 00 standard which worked very well. Mention of the 16.2mm gauge was hidden in the small print. But customers liked it and always came back for more. The narrower flangeways made it look much finer than any other 00 pointwork. At that time they were using only "scale 00" wheels -- mostly white-metal kits with Romford wheels and axles. The running of such wheels on "EM minus 2" pointwork proved to be a big improvement on the alternative BRMSB standard (00-BF) -- not surprising when you do the arithmetic. There was no thought at that time of using "EM minus 2" for RTR stock. RTR was much too coarse at the time, nearly all serious 00 modellers would re-wheel it with Romford if they used any RTR at all. When I was developing Templot I remembered "EM minus 2", so I included it in the gauge list, and gave it the name 00-SF (" 00 special fine"). A few years ...
... windows don't work properly under Wine on Linux/Mac/CrossOver. I have put in a kludgy fix for that, but ideally we would use far fewer modal dialogs. They annoy users by requiring to be dismissed before the program can continue. 2. child forms aren't properly implemented by the Lazarus compiler. There might be a way round that if we dig deeper into Lazarus. The reason for using child forms is simply me being lazy. They provide a quick way of having a draggable resizable scrolling panel which doesn't take focus away from the parent form. That could be provided by coding a TPanel component instead, although making it resizable is a lot of work. 1. At present this shows modal and must be dismissed before the program can continue. That's because at present it doesn't update automatically. In which case, if it wasn't modal, it would be left showing incorrect data when a different template is clicked. If we arrange for it to update when a template is clicked, it doesn't need to be modal and can be left ...

It certainly makes a startling difference when rotated in front of this monitor screen (flat-screen monitors emit polarised light). Then the sun came out, so a chance to try it on the camera. Brilliant! Reflections from shiny surfaces much reduced, sky twice as blue, plants and foliage show more saturated colours. But it is clearly confusing the autofocus. I shall have to use manual focus with it, which is no great difficulty with distant views- just set infinity.

13. Gauge Change
... topic: 2142 Gauge Change posted: 19 Jan 2013 22:03 from: Ray Hughes I've been tinkering around with different design ideas mentally of late and wanted to try something out. I then decided to commit fingers to keyboard and chose 00-BF because, at the time, I was a little concerned that the radius of some of the curves may be a shade too tight for 00-SF (and, anyway, this was the fiddle yard). Once the fiddle yard was sortd my attention turned to the scenic part of the layout where the curves are generally far more generous. However, I left the gauge at 00-BF. With the layout plan compete I thought I'd do the right thing and change everything to 00-SF, none of the curves ended up tighter than third radius. I group selected all templates and changed the gauge of all the templates (or so I thought- although I did wonder why one template became misplaced). I then noticed that one of the turnouts was still 00-BF ...

... &L components on Templot templates posted: 20 Dec 2011 20:19 from: workev2000 I am new to Templot and making my own trackwork. I have a number of questions relating to the use of C&L components on Templot templates. I apologise if they have been asked elsewhere, and if there is an existing topic please point me in the right direction. Which Templot Gauge do I use for C&L components? I have seen the seperate file for their standard templates; but if I use OO-BF is that the equivalent, or is it OO-SF? I just need to understand which gauge better meets C&L 16.5mm components (by that I mean standard V's and crossings). How easy is it to modify C&L crossings to be curved? My fear is that I do not have the tools, or the experience to create my own crossings at the moment, but might stand a better chance of modifying the crossing. What are peoples experiences with using plastic sleepers and chairs when creating templates from ...
... topic: 1969 Custom paper sizes posted: 28 May 2012 22:18 from: Paul Boyd Whilst pottering about with my printer the other day, it occurred to me that I've never seen mention here of using custom paper sizes- I bet most of us are sticking together bits of A4 (I've given up with telex roll for building templates on- too flimsy!) This may be old hat to some, but it might be worth looking at your printer driver settings to see if you can set a custom paper size. For instance, my new Canon MP499 (an A4 printer) can go up to 420x676mm, but not both dimensions at the same time! In practise, this means I can set a paper size of 210mm x 594mm. A piece of A2 paper is 420x594mm, and when cut in half lengthways gives......210x594mm. This is equivalent to two bits of A4 end to end, but you actually gain more than that because you gain the space taken by two margins. It does look a little ...
... topic: 3563 coding clips- December 2019 posted: 2 Dec 2019 14:59 from: Martin Wynne Hi Graeme, Bingo! Or at least half a bingo. When I found that Lazarus wouldn't accept Parent:=pad_form; in the OnCreate event of a child form, I changed it to Windows.SetParent(Handle,pad_form.Handle); Bad move. That's why it is grabbing the focus. After a bit of delving in Delphi I have discovered that Parent:= doesn't do that, it calls the InsertControl method on the parent. So what we need instead of SetParent is pad_form.InsertControl(the_child_form); The end result is that no clicking or dragging on the child takes focus away from the parent, and all parent keyboard shortcuts work fine. I said half a bingo, because it doesn't integrate the keyboard accelerator keys. To some extent that may be a good thing, in that we can have multiple child forms showing and not worry about accelerator conflicts. The actual functionality can be achieved by capturing keypresses on the parent, with a lot ...
18. Printing error
... topic: 1935 Printing error posted: 26 Apr 2012 09:49 from: mfsyoung Using iMac/Parallels/Cannon printer. Calibrated printer as normal and then went to print selection of three rows of A4 pages. Printer made three print jobs (one for each row). First job (row) printed ok then second and third came up with postscript errors. Tried again same errors. Only able to print in black and white. Workaround....exported whole layout to PDF in A4 pages and then selected pages in PDF to print using the iMac (not Parallels). No problems and even in colour! Conclusion....is it necessary to calibrate the printer and print normally or can all the layout be printed from PDF files without printer calibration? If this is so then I would always use PDF files in future.

... topic: 1628 Canon PIXMA iP4300 Printer posted: 14 Sep 2011 01:52 from: Richard_Jones Hi Does anyone know if I can "fool" the printer to print out on a piece of "double length" A4- ie a piece of A3 cut down the centre of its long dimension, as this would probably be big enough for the largest of my single templates, without the expense of buying an A3 printer. Similarly is there anything I might need to "fiddle" in the Templot print settings? Any ideas (or different solutions?) best wishes Richard posted: 14 Sep 2011 06:49 from: Dave Summers Nothing needs to be fooled or fiddled. 'Tiling' of templates is taken care of automatically by Templot. A long template will be printed on two or more A4 sheets which will butt up perfectly to each other once the small margin is removed. Few of us have an A3 printer but all of us can print out our masterpieces on our A4 machines! posted: 14 Sep 2011 15:07 from: ...
