... it for a while but i'm still struggling with a few bits.. Having taken the plungle in building my own track and just started a new exhibition layout i'm having a bit of a job setting out some point work. Mainly an outside slip with a diamond attatched to it. Could someone point me in the right direction to making this possible... Hopefully the file will be attatched to this post so you can see what i mean.

I wanted to model in 0, but not having space for a tail-chaser (without going through into next doors loft) and definately not wanting yet another MPD I came up with this. There's no way I'd ever have been able to contemplate anything like this without Templot- cheers Martin.

... , adobe acrobat V9 reads the file ok, But I really would prefer to get it printed once it is all fixed as a single roll and not multiple sheets, can anyone assist with this, I am of course prepared to pay a resonable price! Hopefully attatched is the BOX files for assesment, critisim, slagging off cos I got it totally wrong.

Kind regards Andrew You'll notice that I haven't infact uploaded the image because as soon as I did it went funny as it had last night so I deleted it.

Cheers Nigel Hello Nigel I'm using a 190w green house heater which gives background heat all year round. And for those days when its freezing and I'm working in there I have a little 2kw heater which is ususally set on 1kw. I can get away with so little heat because the floor has 4" of insulation in it and the walls and roof 6" and although Imade up the windows myself I did buy double glazing units for them as well. In fact the door which is curved has also got insulation in it as well...a bit mad or anal but I really enjoyed ...
... . Contrast that with a 30 second wipe and polish with a bit of paper towel and a dab of methylated spirit. In my view, the heated plate solution is the logical way to go. It also provides a very smooth base surface which can be used to advantage.

I always give the tape a light rub with sandpaper between prints to remove any residue from the PLA and to provide a bit of key on the surface. The Z-axis zero position is critical. My printer is a bit flimsy, so I have to keep a close eye on the Z adjustment to ensure a good first layer. I've also found it's better to use a honeycomb fill on the bottom layer rather than make it solid. posted: 2 Jan 2016 03:52 from: Andrew Barrowman Turnout stereo lithography file. ...
... 56 from: Martin Wynne Borg-Rail wrote: Creating graphics isn't a problem (except for lack of time) you just need a suitable program to do it. I use Serif Drawplus. Hi Stephen, I think there is more to it than that! I have the latest version of DrawPlus, several CAD programs, Impict image editor, and many other programs in which to create graphics, including of course Microsoft Paint. But making graphics which look attractive and inviting needs something more than just the tools. I can give you a nice blue rectangle with a thick red border and a big green dot in the corner. One question what is Sketchboard? Sketchboard is a new feature coming in the next Templot pug included in Templot2. It's a separate mini drawing package within Templot, customised to use track plans from the trackpad in a colourful full layout design. For control panels, exhibition guides, web sites, signal box diagrams, wiring diagrams, etc. It doesn't compare with a full graphics drawing package, but on the other hand it ...
... of a rare medical event; thanks to the NHS I walked out. Recovering at home and scouring the web for my favourite haunts I stumbled across Geograph. Ideal. Over about 3 years loaded up my archive, with many great memories, and it was an incentive to go and explore places and take a reasonable number of pics. Couple of Scottish trips a year are a good source. Tailed off a bit last year due to bladder/kidney stone ops in the summer/autumn, but also because my Golf was giving trouble, after VW retuned it after the exhaust scandal.

... never modelled FB rail, but if I did then the foot lines would certainly be useful. I'm sure though that for those that do model FB, the foot lines just work so again you never hear about it. The sketchboard function took months of work... I'm afraid I really do think that was a step too far! To be blunt, I think it's a gimmick. I certainly didn't realize you had to pay for a license- I wouldn't have! And having paid for the license, you now give Templot away for free? Templot is for creating accurate, prototypical templates and track formations. Pencil and paper (in my case) is for designing layouts. And if so, where to next? There are several extra functions I would like to add for my own use, but is Templot already too complicated for most users? Should I be looking at a "Lite" version where users can select pictures of A5s, B6s, etc and simply click them together? Should I provide a way to work with non ...
... topic: 458 Converting a CJF track plan to EM posted: 18 Jun 2008 13:41 from: Paul Hamilton Hi all, Just a query really. I have a track plan that a friend did for me in XtrkCAD. I don't have this program but I do have a pdf of it. As such, I was wondering on the best approach to take this plan and create my layout in Templot. I am assuming that Templot will give me the advantage of fitting turnouts to curves etc that XtrkCAD couldn't do because it was using Peco Stremaline templates to create the track in the first place. Should I import the plan in as a back ground image (I see plenty of help on this particular topic around the forum so I am not asking for assistance on this aspect- yet!) and then overlay templot EM track work to suit the general "feel" of the plan or is there a better way? I do have C. Freezer's original track plan image too however it had to be compressed by 6" in one ...
... way to do this( 0.2mm joggle) thanks dave Hello Dave I think my approach to track building maybe considered a bit gung ho so you may want to take this with caution or a pinch of salt! On Yeovil Pen Mill I'm building loose heeled switches and I do separate the switch from the closure rail at the point where they are joined on the the real thing. I say this a bit loosely (sorry) as I often move this joint back one sleeper(toward the crossing) from its intended position to give a touch more clearance that you referred to. And indeed I make the electrical break there rather than in the more usual place near the crossing. To give an engerneering flavour to the proceedings I hinge the the heel on a 10BA bolt that passes through the sleeper into a nut soldered to the underside of the sleeper. It may help to understand what I'm talking about by looking at the first page of my thread on this I'll try to put a link in after I've uploaded this. For making Joggles I put the ...
... , have placed most of my track-work in position using un-timbered rails only. Having just started this task, I find that in many areas there is considerable overlapping of timbers, which clearly need be adjusted by either twisting or backward – forward movements to clear each other, but I am not quite sure how much movement (max twist or backward – forward) the critical timbers such as, A, B, C, D, X, Y& Z can be adjusted (moved). Can anyone give me some guidance on the maximum movement of these timbers, and does anyone know if there is anything written down about this particular subject? I do know in general, T& S timbers can be shoved backwards, forwards and twisted to some considerable degree, although timbers S1& S2 should not be moved too much, such that they infringe upon the clearance of the switch blades stretcher tie bar. As to the timbers A, B, C, D, X, Y& Z these can be twisted too a ...
... easily find out file size etc. Obviously a lot of the detail you are adding won't be visible at small scales but it will be visible in the larger scales. Striking a reasonable compromise might take a bit of testing. I think it might be possible to use Meshlab to simplify/reduce facets on a model. That might allow you to put lots of detail into your models and use Meshlab to post process the file according to the scale, but I'm probably talking rubbish. Every time I try to use Meshlab it gives me a sore head Cheers, Andy posted: 24 Nov 2018 19:31 from: Martin Wynne Andrew Barrowman wrote: Hi Martin, I'm assuming we'll be able to randomize the rotation of the screw heads.

... this admirably- none pof the 'lurch/drop' through the crossings. Heljan? I had one of the first production models and it ran perfectl;y on my trackwork. (It ran so weel in fact that someone who saw it made me an offer and bought it. As I model 1936 GWR, it did not find into our scene, but it was a nice model). Go for 3 bolt chairs. We do not make special chairs, although others do. Our experience is that cutting standard chairs gives a good representation. Dog's legs, (joggled stock rails), are good in theory. Problem is, they are usually very much overscale and it shows. Instead, use straight stock rails and switch blades which have been properly milled. I mill for general sale as fine as I think the public will accept. You will understand that you cannot mill nickel silver to an even sharp pointed end- you get to a time where the rotary action of the end mill makes the end ragged and uneven- we call ...

I paid for a licence a few years ago and after a computer upgrade have downloaded the free version. I have not used it much but am just getting to grips with it- so far so good. With other programs I have got stuck with, it always helps me if I can find someone to actually show me face to face what I need to do. It is the little things that get missed trying to do it remotely. So far I am very pleased with my progress and a slow methodical approach ...
... also plays a part. Track for a busy throat at an important main line station is going to be more robustly designed than for a cross-country line or branch line station. In the end it comes down to looking at drawings and photos of the chosen prototype. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Mar 2014 15:25 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, I fully agree with what you say, that's why I did two versions so that Peter could choose which approach he would like to adopt. Also to give Peter an idea of what differences some formation timbering can take. I also agree, that the modellers version does look much more cleaner and tidier, and is much better on the eye, than a prototype version. Also it does offer, to the modeller, a much more stable setup, since it totally securely ties all roads together at the crossing centre. As I said in my message, it is Peters choice which type he adopts. It would be of interest to know what railway company and period Peter is ...
... works in the same sense as the paper option -- you are moving the page -- I'm mindful that there is a conflicting sense when using this and the wheel zoom together if the setting remains on the scroll default. So I'm minded to change the default to the paper option. But I can already hear the complaints that this doesn't correspond to the Windows standard. So I thought we could have a poll here. Please try both options and vote. But if you have never used the paper option before, please give yourself time to get used to it before voting. Thanks for any comments. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Feb 2009 12:53 from: Martin Lloyd Martin, I'll vote for 'paper'. I've always found 'scroll' a bit confusing but, to be honest, I hadn't realised a mere click could make the change.

... the planning stage for this expansion so anyone on this forum who is interested is more than welcome to provide suggestions or make comments (by all means use the templot already posted and have a go at designing the fiddle yard expansion). Hi Richard, idea no. 1 If you move the existing boards back by about 2 metres, you will only need to build two new plain track linking boards initially to keep everything moving. Then you can build a new inner fiddle yard at your leisure. A full 2 metre move gives you some extra operating space to get at the stock more easily than doubling the existing fiddle yard width. Something like this: mostyn_fiddle_new.png regards, Martin. posted: 16 Nov 2007 16:32 from: Richard Oldfield Hello Russ, Thanks for your thoughts. I think you are on the 'right track' with your idea of extending the scenic sections down each side and then building a double junction leading to a new fiddle yard outside the existing one. It has the advantage that we could finish the new scenic parts in ...
