... keep up with stuff on the web. I do have the odd app which is useful on holiday like Anquet Maps, but on a Mac it's a bit flaky and luckily I don't rely on it. I find the Apple "do it the Apple way" a real pain. All my serious stuff is on a PC. It works, and I can set it up the way I want to. And I can build my own PC, which is a lot more fun than just handing over dosh for one and gives me far more control over what I get. Nigel posted: 23 Jun 2020 16:45 from: DerekStuart Without making any political comment one way or the other, I notice that Apple is now installing the C19 track and trace without any input to the user.

... roller gauges so that only the top of the rail head is engaged. Is this necessary? How is it done? What about the other types of gauges? Or is this digest sheet referring to older types of gauges no longer available? I presume there are plenty of people out there building P4 track with C&L components! Matt posted: 13 Nov 2007 12:55 from: Paul Boyd The original K&L chairs did have this feature, and it allowed for automatic gauge widening on curves as well as giving the prototypical 1:20 cant. At the time this was widely advertised as a selling point. As far as I know, the current C&L chairs have the same feature although there was some confusion over this point a little while ago on either P4_talk or E4um. If you use roller gauges with this type of chair, you will neatly undo the automatic gauge widening, apart from the fact that roller gauges give no gauge widening anyway. Not that I've built miles of P4 track, but I find the ...

... down drags, unlike the click-move-click CAD-style action for the mouse actions. If you have a programmable mouse, for any of the above to work you need to have the wheel button set for "Middle Click" or "AutoScroll". All the other panning functions are retained, which means that there are now a dozen different ways to pan across the pad, but in testing I've found this new way to be very convenient. The left button is the more intuitive, but the middle button gives you greater flexibility. (The previous wheel panning functions remain available if you prefer -- hold down the CTRL key for that, and click the wheel button to change direction from horizontal to vertical movement.) 2. Pad views history. A "pad view" is a combination of your position on the pad and the zoom setting. Moving about on the pad, or zooming in or out, creates a new view. Templot can now remember pad views, so that you can conveniently return to a previous view ...

I am not confident that I have the right answer to give. What to do about it???? I suggest some changes to the "rules" in the forum. Firstly, there should be an area of the forum in which you DO NOT RESPOND. All requests for feedback/ constructive criticisms on layout design etc should be addressed there only- any of us could and should do this stuff. Secondly, responses to requests for help on use of the software should be restricted to giving people a reference to an "on-line" manual. This way, ...
67. Single slips
... Trevor, I was just about to post this, when your latest message popped up. First let me say, I applaud you determination to do the job yourself, as one learns best by doing things ones self. In addition of course, we also learn by example, hence my input of a sample slip. Now, having again looked at your box file, I am a little concerned that the flow of the inner (where the slip diamond is part of) curving main running line is not aligned properly to give a good flow. This makes the assumption that there are two curved main running lines parallel to each other. If the assumption is correct, then the flow is not quite right. Also I must point out, that I am not aware of your overall layout plan, so can only go on my own assumptions. As an illustration of what I am referring to, see the screenshot PNG images below. In the image, I have arranged the lower yellow main running line to be in position as your original templates ...
... topic: 1010 Singleton West Sussex posted: 11 Jan 2010 20:30 from: Richard_Jones Hi Guys (and Gals?) I am a new user of Templot, which I bought to help me plan a model of Singleton- ex LBSCR, West Sussex- 4mm, EM gauge. Currently I am working on two options, a) a straight plot of the 1:2500 OS map, which as you can imagine gives a rather long layout (20'+ to get the interesting bit in, and b) a curved version (inspired by the late Chris Matthewman's "Striving") that would in theory fit in my 18' x 12' living room (occasionally) In a nut shell, does any one have any comments on the "model of a railway" versus the "model railway" approach Also some of the turnouts look very long- does anyone know what sort of geometry the LBSC would have used to lay out the track in the 1880s? (ie preferred crossing angles) any hints on double slips? ...
... the track that is closer to the camera, unless it is completely buried. I also wonder how you would fix the chairs to the blocks. Chemical anchors would not have been available and I would have thought expansion bolts were not available either, so how would you make a secure fixing into stone? Some sort of ragged stud fixed in mortar? From experience of gate hinges pulling out of stone pillars I know that, even today, it is not always easy to get a secure fixing into stone. The dates you give for non-fishplated joints are also interesting. This line opened in 1882, which is a lot later than the 1850's (UK) and 1857 (for the Parramatta line) that you mention for non-fishplated joints. Arthur posted: 18 Apr 2016 02:00 from: Matt M.

"The Engineer" did a plan of before and after the rebuilding on 2/8 /1907- possibly from drawings supplied by the railway? These are reproduced in several publications. "The Engineer" article may give further details? I have never seen it- only the reproductions elsewhere. Definitely a subject for building in the finer scales- P4 or S4 I would imagine. Building the vast array of stock needed pre-1907 might be even more of a challenge than the track itself though. posted: 9 Feb 2014 12:43 from: JFS Ariels Girdle wrote: OS maps are notoriously unreliable.

I was quite happy with the original purchased programme (although I thought that you sold it too cheap) but I bought a laptop because I now go to my son's to baby sit my Grandchildren once a week. After some time (your website is Horrendous) I downloaded the current version but found that I could not use it there as I could not connect to his internet connection, next time I tried it at home I am now told that there is a new version and I must download that, so back to your website (and yes it is still horrendous) and after faffing about I give up I really cannot be bothered. Sorry to be negative but a great programme, but now in my opinion rendered useless. Yes I know that there are people out there who might ...
... slop built into the track to rail interface. I can now draw out the gauges I wish to make. Thanks again Rob posted: 6 Nov 2020 01:21 from: Nigel Brown Hi Rob Depends what you want to calculate. I assumed you know the distance (2d) between the two corners on the 3-point track gauge which sit on the outer rail. Feed in different values of the track radius R into the formula R- sqrt(R *R- d*d) and the formula will give you the corresponding widening. cheers Nigel posted: 6 Nov 2020 02:44 from: Martin Wynne Rob Manchester wrote:....and no I am not going to run EM-SF round 200mm radius track I need to make some 3 point gauges for other odd modelling scales/track gauges some of which will be running round curves that tight.

... . I would therefore, be most grateful if anyone can help with, or perhaps point me in the direction of, such information. I'm sure there must be something hidden away in some archive someplace or other. Brian, I've just had a quick dig around and found this enticing section of a 1950 plan http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/lms/lnwrbns_str1310a.htm Now, if you could find the original "lnwrbns_str1310" drawing then you might have something to work from at a decent size. Maybe contacting the web site owners might give you some indicators of what you can get. There are literally hundreds of pictures of the station on this site. BTW, I proposed to my late wife on this station many years ago pre-1964, just before boarding the Glasgow sleeper. It was a dark dump of a place.

Scott, Is there any possibility that I could get a copy of your drawings of the slip and the diamond?

... topic: 2342 Help With First Track Plan posted: 12 Nov 2013 10:31 from: Chris Dark Hi all, I am very new to the world of handbuilt trackwork and Templot, I have decided to stop designing my 18X4ft peco code 75 layout in favour of a 8x4ft P4. I have made this decision as I feel I would gain more satisfaction, plus the fact is is more achievable project. I have come up with a design which gives me some usability but I would like some help/advice on some of my track settings: Firstly the points at the far end of the run-around loop look far too long. I had drawn up a rough plan in Scarm to give myself an idea of layout which I then sketched over. Can somebody explain how I can shorten the points but keep the curve of the track? My second question is how to add a straight piece of track. I created a separate piece by adding a branch from an existing point then moving using the f7 command and snapping onto the end ...
