While I can open the postings, I cannot open these .box files, and I can't seem to find any where that gives me the ability to do so. The answer is probable very simple but can some kind sole tell me what it is please.

So you need to download them and stick them with your other box files, then enter Templot and load the one you want to look at. cheers Nigel posted: 31 Jul 2009 08:01 from: Martin Wynne SimonH wrote: I notice that a lot of the attachments to postings are with a .box file extension.

... through the crossing. So that's 2 x 2.3,+ 0.6= 5.2. Plus a bit= 5.5mm MIN wheel width. Assuming wheels have been set to 40mm back-to-back nominal, this is likely to vary a bit on existing models. And some wheels may have a flange thickness a bit more than 1.5mm. So let's make the back-to-flange dimension 41.7mm MAX. It is essential that this should be a MAX. This dimension also becomes the minimum check gauge, and adding the flangeway gap gives us the minimum track gauge. So track gauge= 41.7m+ 2.3= 44.0mm MIN. And the check span is 41.7mm- 2.3mm= 39.4. Plus some freedom in the tolerancing= 39.5mm MAX. Then choose a flange curving allowance, for which I suggest 0.3mm. So that finally gives a minimum back-to-back of 39.5+ 0.3= 39.8mm. MIN. Summarising all that, I suggest: WHEELS: Wheel Width 5.5mm MIN. Flange Thickness 1.9mm MAX. Back-to-Flange: 41.7mm MAX. ...
... grammatical word use), many dyslexics have excellent memories and aren't obviously educationally or developmentally delayed in any other area. I don't think that this issue has a lot to drive your updated Templot docs. Steven is looking for someone to take him through the software and bring him up to date in the most efficient manner he knows. This is a special case scenario. I avoided commenting the last time the subject of tutorials came up, for as you are not charging for this excellent product, you can hardly be expected to give the large amount of time required to creating "full on" tutorials. (Will do further donation in a few months). However this time some general comments on tutorials and manuals follow. As a music teacher I feel you can never beat one-on-one teaching by explanation, demonstration and emulation. That is why the video tutorials are always more effective. It is the closest thing to one-on-one, (though lacking the immediate feedback, which the "Templot Club" is providing) ...
... too much I can carry on working ad-infinitum (as far as I can estimate). However, when I zoom in very close for alignment purposes, and try to manipulate the control template, it crashes the system. Without the large background file loaded, Templot works fine right up to, and including the largest zoom factors, it is only when I have the large file version of background on the workpad does the problem occur. Please note, if I use smaller background files, these do not seem to give rise to the problem, which suggests that there may be a file size limitation for background images which allows zooming very close in. When the crash occurs, the screen goes totally black for several seconds, then a blue screen appears with a message on, this blue screen lasts for a few seconds only (not really enough time to read it all), then the system goes into reset/restart mode and fires up the O S again thus having to start from scratch. Needless to say, any work since ...
... the tip isn't opening far enough. It should open by about 1.75mm for 00 gauge. A good way to check this is with a 20p coin -- see: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/49161-first-attempt-at-handbuilt-track-a -complete-novice%E2%80%99s-experience/#entry560207 or 2. you made the tip area too flexible. Always leave the foot of the rail intact on the inside at the blade tips to give the blade some stiffness there. or 3. you didn't leave a long enough length of blade to flex. If none of the above explain the problem, perhaps you could post a bit more information about it. regards, Martin. posted: 22 Nov 2013 08:35 from: roythebus Thanks for the replies. It could be the radius of the curve is not sharp enough, and the tips of the blades are too close to the vee. I think I used B8 for the blades and vees, maybe ...
... in the inner ends of these strips. This track was for street trackage so everything bar the rails would be hidden. For normal track you might want to make a less obvious joint to the underside of the switch blades. The TOU is made from Plastikard strip, a bit of 4mm PCB turnout timbering and some brass tube to be not too tight a fit on the brass wire. The lot is glued to a short bit of B&Q alloy section to allow mounting to the track base. The tube and wire gives the hinge action. This method allows you to fit scale cosmetic tiebars. Jim. posted: 12 Mar 2010 09:27 from: kenbec Jim said, Here's another method which might interest you- with the tiebar underneath the track base. This method is quite popular with a good few people. Ingenious and with care could be installed quite inconspicuously. I like the idea of the tubing which should allow some free play while the switch is moving. I have it in my mind that the two wires will traverse slightly ...
... : Richard Spratt Isn't it like turnout 7 in the first tutorial? http://www.templot.com/martweb/tut5a.htm Richard posted: 17 Nov 2008 02:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Richard Not really, because in that tutorial the turnout is placed, then the exit track pegged onto it. On my plan the positions of the tracks are already defined, and the crossover needs to fit into what's already there. The attached picture shows what I was starting from. I did use the 'make transition curve' function to give me a nice s-curve between the two lines, but I couldn't get a turnout to line up with both the running lines and the s-curve simultaneously. Hence the faffery!

I do want to learn to use Templot but like many I'm having difficult getting to grips with it. if there is no file or pic it is because I am trying to add them. I have added the pic to the layout plan, or at least 1 version of it but I haven't added the Anyrail file as it keeps giving me an error message.

... topic: 605 Custom Scale/Gauge settings posted: 30 Oct 2008 18:27 from: Alan McMillan Hi I'm using a custom scale/gauge setting for placing gaurd rails inside the running rails of 1:87 metre gauge. When I set all the dimensions and give these setting a name, they are not saved for the next session and I have to go in and set them again.

... that match together. In 7mm either FB or BH Individulay offers all you need to make plain track or turnouts( assuming you are happy to chop and bodge the crossing/wing rail chairs). I think the 7mm range was introduced to allow users of the Peco RTR turnouts more option in track design but I am unsure if the chair designs are the same? Back to 4mm...the rail used in the Peco 75BH isn't a standard profile as the rail foot is much deeper than C&L's version to give, presumably, more strength to the chair/rail interface. If they sold this as is it wouldn't fit the C&L /Exactoscale chairs. Peco 75BH rail is also skinny on head width as many are( but not C&L's) Rob posted: 26 Jan 2018 01:05 from: Martin Wynne Rob Manchester wrote: Back to 4mm...the rail used in the Peco 75BH isn't a standard profile as the rail foot is much deeper than C&L's version to give, presumably, ...
... scissors crossing as originally conceived needs to be adjusted. I've spent the best part of a day trying to make the necessary adjustments, but with no success, so once again I'm appealing for help from the more enlightened among you to come to the rescue. The attached plan shows what I'm trying to achieve, the crossover at present being represented by two straight rails each connecting a pair of the diagonally opposite points. Can anyone out there, who fully understands what's involved, please come to my rescue and do what's needed to give me what I'm aiming for, or as close to what I'm aiming for as possible?

... so the K-crossing check rails have now been shortened. Also I have revisited the scissors crossover in the Storage Turntable file and trimmed the overlength check rails I had left there. So thanks for that. Yes I have spent a fair amount of time on this, started to develope the design, initially on paper, then in Templot about a year ago. Unfortunately there are always other 'jobs' that need doing which seriously restrict the amount of time available. However time spent on planning is well worth it as it gives you the confidence in what you are going to build is going to work! In the longer term it can save considerable time (and fustration!).

... . I've no idea what size a Peco 1st radius is, or what scale it applies to. But most likely it is around 600mm radius, and you are working at 4mm/ft. So what you should have said is that you were working with 150ft radius curves. Or even 2.1/2 chains radius. A chain is 66ft, so that would be 165ft. If you are making turnouts at that sort of radius, I suggest using a 9ft straight switch with maybe 1:4.5 crossing angle -- which gives a radius in 00 gauge of 633mm, or 746mm in P4 (if curviform or generic). In P4 therefore you might shorten it to 1:4, giving a radius of 588mm. On the prototype turnouts as short as these would only ever be found in cramped yards and sidings, not on running lines. Your challenge now is to do it all again, but this time on a through curve. Keep an eye on the radii when curving turnouts, you may very likely need to use longer ones on ...
