... could make the paper too wet and cause cockling. If you are printing large scale templates for 0 Gauge and above it is worth changing the timber and rail infill to a lighter colour, or to hatching instead of solid infill. 6. Try not to use ordinary thin office paper. Thicker 160gsm paper (which feels like very thin card) is very much easier to trim and fit together accurately, and the extra thickness makes for a more controlled feed and less trouble with shrinkage or cockling. It also makes a much firmer template to work on for track construction. 7. Open a sealed pack of paper and allow it to acclimatise to the ambient conditions for a few days before printing. 8. Modern printers are quite flimsy in construction. Make sure that all the feet are standing firm on a flat level surface. Any twist in the printer frame is likely to cause inaccuracies in the printed result. A printer propped up on a pile of books will definitely not produce accurate templates. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2010 14 ...

... move! In my experience, relying on extensions is just too flaky and would come back and bite us one day. Could you please let me know what you changed for this (maybe a couple of before/after clips) and I will put it into my version. I do not want to release anything which writes OTBOX files without this byte set. This is solely to identify the source of the file, it is not read on normal loading so doesn't prevent any existing OTBOX files from loading. I think a firmer stance on this is justified, but this should be fine, given that (hopefully) the OTBOX format will be short-lived and we will be able to use a text-based format shortly.
