Except perhaps eye-strain. Bear in mind that the internet hadn't been invented (or at least, we knew nothing about it), and the program code was stored on an audio cassette tape. That in itself being a huge leap forward from the punched paper tape I had been using a few years earlier. I remember buying a brand new cassette player and drilling a hole in the side for a DIN socket.

... copying the content from 00-sf.org.uk shortly. regards, Martin. Hello Martin, I think your name of 00-SF is better than any of the alternatives. The arguments are simply from people who do not understand tolerances and the fact 00 refers to a scale/track standard combination that has varied over the years. There are also others with 'political agendas' who do not want to see change from existing 4mm foot scale and H0 scale standards. You have around 10 years of 'marketing' around the 00-SF brand. It's consistent with the 00 and 00-F scale track names, both standards use the same scale. Then there is 00-9, a different nominal track gauge, same scale. All the above 00 examples result with non interchange between the scale gauge standards, even when the nominal track gauge is the same. I say go back to using 00-SF.

... contrast compared to plain black, which makes it easier on the eye. And I haven't been 25 for nearly 17 years Have you looked at their portfolio page? There might be some ideas there. I'd welcome some ideas for how to get the Templot web site looking a bit more stylish without ending up with something as daft as this. Do you have a favourite web site which looks good and is actually readable? I don't know about a favourite website as such, but the people we're using for our company re-branding (! !) are http://www.halomedia.co.uk/html/index.html If you go onto the "Our Work" link, there are some web examples near the bottom of the page that might give some more ideas. Like Hughes though, they are constrained to some extent by what their customer's want. Having said that, what's wrong with the site as it is? The only thing I think could be better is navigation around the site- I find it a bit confusing sometimes and hard to find what I'm ...

... 2007 12:21 from: Dave Summers Martin Wynne wrote Unfortunately I have no idea what a "DS Stores" file is, and Google doesn't seem to offer anything relevant. Nor do I understand why a pdf file from templot.info should be included in your hidden system files. Nor why hidden system files would be on the desktop. Martin. Martin For info- I vaguely recall that the last time I saw DS Stores files, it involved the use of file transfer by USB stick between laptops. I can't remember the brand of stick or software involved. Some of these 'clever' sticks contain synchronising software and these DS Stores files may be associated with that function. It might also explain some of the errant behaviour/location of these files. Regards.

Hello Martin, With vinyl cutting machines, the rigidity of the cutting knife is the secret. Some brands claim to able to cut to a depth of 4-5mm, a guarantee that is not acheived. A maximun of 2-3mm is generally considered the thickest that can be used.

... Paul Boyd Hi Stan The internal reference code is unique to the format of the hard drive, so if you reformat you lose the code, as you've found. I'm sure Martin will give you a new unlock code. As far as the overheating problem goes, if you have a "marginal" PC with regard to temperature, Templot can cause problems. The mouse actions can use as much CPU power as is available- in fact I used Templot as a test program when experimenting with CPU cooling. I don't know what brand computer you have, but most will be built with the absolute minimum cooling they can get away with which is fine for general office use, but not so fine with programs such as Templot that work the CPU hard. By the way, if you reinstalled and all is fine except for your lock code, the CPU isn't fried, but given what it's been through I would replace it and fit the biggest heatsink you can physically get in the case.

... the road of thin sleepers use ply and make sure the solvent you use is Butanone, I also use spirit based stain thinned down and applied first to the long strips by brush and allowed to dry off before use. For anyone starting out I would strongly recommend using the thicker sleepers/timbers including using the Exactoscale fast track bases. For the novice plastic timbers will be easier and the Exactoscale point and crossing timber pack being vastly superior as it has enough material for 2 turnouts, longer timbers than the C&L own brand and one 14" crossing nose timber. For the inexperienced builder you can use copperclad timbers in and around the crossings which is an easier build method, but do use spacers to lift the rail so not only do they remain at the same level but chairs can be used. Its far easier if you cut and fill the isolation gaps prior to fitting as they are much easier to sand flat. In fact it is also an easier method for the experienced builder, lending its self certainly to the plastic timbers more than ...
