... art-shop/paper-card-board/self-adhesive-materials.html Self-adhesive cork sheet in rolls. Templot includes a banner printing option, so if your printer allows it you could maybe print templates directly to the cork track underlay on an inkjet printer? Also available in A4 sheets if you can't do banners. It's only 1.5mm thick, so would probably need an additional cork or foam roadbed layer below it. It needs a printer with a straight-through paper path. I imagine the backing paper might give it sufficient stability to feed through. Just an idea, I've not tried it, may contain nuts. Martin. posted: 4 Dec 2013 14:37 from: Andy Vines Not sure how successful that would be but it has given me an idea. I tend to build directly on my baseboards as am building my layout up in small modules, I have been sticking the templates down with Pritt style glue sticks, now think I would be better off printing direct to A4 size sticky labels. posted: 4 Dec ...

... It's the title of a book. cheers, Martin. posted: 16 Jan 2018 22:17 from: Rob Manchester Martin, B5 turnouts on the WCML will certainly keep the passengers customers awake. You wouldn't want to be getting a drink from the bar when the train diverged over those. Can you still stand at a bar on a Pendolino and have a barman in a white jacket serve you a whisky? What does Richie do though? He isn't likely to find the information with Google and I haven't seen many books giving details of the turnout specs on the intended modelling subject. He would have found lots of info on the benefits of 4-SF on Templot or RM forums. A correspondent in this months EM journal reckons we will have ready to lay P4 turnouts within 25 years.

... chat. Hi Richard, Templot is a recreational hobby program for home computers, and the web site is designed on that basis. However I have now replaced the embedded chat room with an indirect link. This means it now takes two clicks to enter the chat room, but it prevents the chat room window from pulling the page focus. This should also cure your "access denied" problem. regards, Martin. posted: 19 Feb 2009 19:47 from: Richard Spratt Martin Thanks for trying, but it still gives the access denied problem. Oh well, I'll have to browse other hobby websites at lunchtime and save Templot for the evening.

... wagons down to the good shed and the sidings used as headshunts to do this can't also be used to contain parked wagons. 3) The space is tight for O gauge but I would be tempted to try and ease the radius of some of the turnouts and go a little more across the corner of the room rather than across and down. Regards Rob 4) The timbers can be shoved around when you have the plan right so don't worry about this at this stage. There are lots of track planning books around to give you ideas for layouts. posted: 5 Jan 2012 08:39 from: Jim Guthrie Rob Manchester wrote: 2) There is a lot of shuffling back and forward to get wagons down to the good shed and the sidings used as headshunts to do this can't also be used to contain parked wagons. There were a few ways of moving wagons around in goods yards- e.g. using pinchbars and horse power- instead of "normal" shunting with a locomotive. These methods are difficult to reproduce on a model railway ...

... cost if you use the easy Codeweavers Crossover installer for it. There are several topics on here about using Templot on a Mac. You can also use Linux to watch the executable videos on your Mac, see: Getting way beyond my level of knowledge there! I have a PC for running a couple of older pieces of Windows software so i just use that for Templot- easiest option! But thanks for the heads up anyway! Richard posted: 10 Sep 2012 14:05 from: RT Hi Martin, Could you give me a little help/advice? I've been using (playing?) with Templot for four hours this morning, and true to your words, i'm starting to get to grips with now, after watching the videos several times over! Have to say im very impressed! Looking at what others have done, it appears the box file holds all the details on the template, so i've found that and attached it to this post incase it helps. I decided to take one part of the track plan and just chip ...

... and buying Templot is not compulsory. Despite electing to pay by credit card (for all the good uk consumer protection law, and the financial benefit to me) they attempted to deduct the funds for this directly from my current account. This is probably better for them, and perhaps you, but is very against my interests. Yuk. It makes no difference for me which card or account you use on PayPal. I do not understand how PayPal can attempt to deduct funds directly from your current account if you do not give them the account details. If you are unhappy with the way your order has been handled, please in the first instance write to me directly rather than here on Templot Club. It's fortunate that I processed your order before seeing your message here. Had I seen this first I may well have declined to accept your order. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Feb 2009 18:17 from: richard_t John McAleely wrote: I would like to report that I disliked being obliged to use PayPal for electronic payment.

Cut a load of (ply) crossing timbers to length or pre cut sleepers in an old butter tub chuck some Ronseal in, put the lid on give it a good shake, have a look to see if they have all stained, if yes drain off the excess into another tub for re-use, if not repeat the first step. When satisfied I tip them out on a couple of sheets of news paper to dry. I use Dark Jacobean Oak stain. If you leave them to dry in the sun they will eventually start to bleach as per the prototype. Use when happy with the result. Cheers Phil posted: 10 Jan 2012 18:30 from ...

Hi Paul, Since you have the crossing roads already in plain track, you can use those to create your diamond. Do the following: 1. Copy one of the crossing plain tracks to the control, then immediately save it (store& background). This is just to give you a back-up if anything goes wrong, you can always delete the copied (or original) template later when you have finished. 2. Do the same for the other crossing track. This is again for the same reason. 3. Again, for the second time, copy one (only) of those two tracks to the control, but do not save this time. 4. Then Click on the background template of the other crossing track and in the drop down menu on the left, Select ...

... now going to duck for cover! Good luck with your track laying, Glen Last edited on 10 Jan 2012 22:56 by Glen Suckling posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:55 from: wcampbell23 Hi Arthur For chair positions have a look at the drawings that can be downloaded from the 4mm scale section of the Exactoscale website. The drawings enlarge so that detail can be seen. They are very useful for the first-timer as you can see what goes where. The roller type track gauges from C&L will give you check rail spacing as they have grooves for both the running and check rails. For check rail chairs it depends on the type of ordinary chairs you intend to use. For two bolt chairs use these but trim back the base to 30thou beyond the rail and use two per check rail chair. For three bolt chairs use four bolt chairs for the check rails trimmed back as above. Have a good look at drawings and pictures before you start. Don't forget to get some bridge chairs for the locations where ordinary chairs ...

... topic: 751 Box Room Layout Design. posted: 4 Mar 2009 23:20 from: Scott Willis Hi Guys You may remember my previous posting regarding a layout designed to fit in my railway room. Like most modellers, available space in which to build a layout is limited. For me it is a small box room measuring 10'x9'. The design is based on a small North British Railway urban terminus, in S-Scale. To give maximum running in a small room, the station area is spread around the room in a 'u' shape with the fiddle yard situated outside in the hallway. Of course, the fiddle yard will only be erected for running sessions. The inner two lines are the 'up' and 'down' lines,the third outer most line entering the fiddle yard leads to an imaginery off scene goods yard and loco shed. The outer most line leads to an imaginery off scene harbour. There have been some slight changes made to the original design, timbers have been shoved and check rails adjusted. Working from ...
