... service. Also bought my 0.5mm solder from them. You might also like to consider the following: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f =11&t =51055 Sorry to go back so far but I just received my Tillig 08961 gauges today which International Models was kind enough to organise for me. In your article at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f =11&t =51055 you say They are very similar to the NMRA gauge in use and do come with extensive instructions showing all aspects of the gauges use. Well the ones I received do have extensive instructions but they are in German. As the only German I understand is after it has been translated into English I am wondering if you received an English version of the instructions. Could you please let me know? By a coincidence the FastTracks three point gauges also arrived today, thanks for your help here as well. ken Last edited on 6 Apr 2010 12:03 by kenbec posted: 6 Apr 2010 20:48 from: ...
... not there! Hi Paul, Whether you saved it or not, it will be in the files> recent files list in one of these two menu items from the previous 2 sessions: 2_081305_030000000.png cheers, Martin. posted: 8 Nov 2020 18:44 from: Paul Kirkwood Martin, Having thrown toys out of pram and deleted a lot of 'other' files, tried the suggested and there's still nothing there. I'll just remember that practice makes a bit better! Another possibly odd question (just to prove I don't read instructions often!). When opening a track design file (i.e. clicking on restore previous work at start), is there a way to tie the background map to open at the same time, or do you have to open the track plan and then load map after? One day this might all make sense :-) Cheers, Paul posted: 8 Nov 2020 19:02 from: Martin Wynne Paul Kirkwood wrote: Having thrown toys out of pram and deleted a lot of 'other' files, tried the ...
... Method B. you can create an irregular diamond-crossing by directly overlaying the curved tracks. This gives you more control of the different radii if necessary. 1. start with the two lengths of curved plain track crossing over each other, or one curved and one straight length. One should be a background template and the other the control template. 2. click on the background template. 3. on its menu, click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item. 4. follow the instructions and wait a moment while Templot does the calculations. 5. you will then need to split the underlying original background template and shorten each half back accordingly. This method won't work as it stands for transition curves, it is for straights and fixed-radius curves only. Also it is very easy to have the tracks crossing at too short an angle. Templot can't produce crossings shorter than 1: 1.5 RAM( i.e. not more than 33.7 degrees). This method also works for two straight tracks intersecting, but ...
... topic: 3130 Templot update version 216a now available. posted: 20 Nov 2017 20:16 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, The latest Templot update is now available. Version 216a. Your copy of Templot should update automatically if you restart it and follow the instructions. If you have any problems with that, follow the download links on the web site. For details of the changes in this update please refer to my recent posts. I will summarise the changes here shortly. N.B. If you see an error message like this while installing the update, please turn off your anti-virus program while installing Templot: w10_av.png regards, Martin. posted: 20 Nov 2017 21:04 from: stuart1600 Thanks, Martin.

I went on to experiment with other bits and pieces yesterday- mainly substituting the instruction from the button press and seeing what each did. Most worked as expected. I was quite pleased with myself when I worked out how to add two or more instructions in the if/then/else statement. To a beginner such as myself, it is an easy mistake to leave that colon there as there was no reason for me to even think of removing it. But now I see a bit more of how the language is structured, it's a little easier (hence the comment above about if/then ...
... for your advice. I've started to redraw the trackplan in 0-MF taking into account the bigger clearance for curves. A couple of queries, if you dont mind, before i spend time putting the entire drawing together.... a) would you say I have solved the conflicts with spacing on the attached file? b) Is there any process for going between the standard distance on double straight track and the amended difference on curves? c) Could you point me in the right direction towards a tutorial or instructions for creating the crossover on the attached file, given that both lines are curving in opposite directions? Its on the left hand side of the track diagram.

... already had 3 copies printed on A0 paper and now have all my roadbed in place based on the plan in the box file. Also, I in no way hold you responsible for this issue simply because you created the file originally, it should have been up to me to ask how it worked (inserting into plain track) before rushing off to get my plan done. Cheers Bruce posted: 25 Feb 2011 12:40 from: BruceNordstrand Ok, I just checked a printed version of my turnout changed as per your instruction and rail wise, including throwbar, it is an exact match for the turnout template available on the proto87 website which I am ultra happy about. Not true however for a #6 template from Fastracks, theirs are out on both Templot and proto87 but that is by the by. Now, if I can just figure out how to customise the timbering to my specs and spacing I will be more than a happy man. I want to replicate proto87's tie (timber in English speak) layout so if I decide to ...
... Hope that helps. Scans in gallery. Gordon posted: 13 Jan 2016 17:26 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, I have been on the web to look at your printer spec. Apparently the resolution is: "Up to 4,800 x 600 dpi". Such high resolution in a printer makes no sense to me (human eyes can't resolve beyond about 600dpi at best, and often much less), and I don't know what "up to" means, because I can't find any means in the instructions to change it. However, 4800dpi is way beyond anything I had in mind when writing the Templot printer code years ago, and I'm a bit surprised it works at all. It's far higher than on inkjet printers. What is clear that the resolution in one direction is 8 times greater than the other. This means that changing from end-run to side-run printing may change things entirely. Missing rails may reappear, while others may disappear. Have you tried that? If this resolution can't be changed in ...
... my retirement. I think one of the difficult things you face in today's culture is, that most people expect to simply push a few buttons and keys, and out will pop the perfect solution to their requirement. But as we all know, life and reality are not like that, and one has to work at things and often show a little patience to get what is required. Having said all that, now to my point, as you may be aware, I have tried to write one or two tutorial help instructions for particular track formations, and other members have done the same from time to time. The problem with these written articles is that they tend to lie buried and lost in the multitude of postings and listings and require some effort in searching for them when required, assuming that one can find the correct combination of words to search for them. My suggestion here is, that you could provide an area on the Templot club web site, something like the Image gallery, but for tutorial instruction and help guides that members could ...
... It's here: http://templot.com/martweb/video_list.htm 3. As the old versions developed I created two long pages explaining all the additional features introduced. Those pages contain masses of information which has never been linked in anywhere else: 2_031328_430000002.png Find them here: http://templot.com/martweb/pug_info.htm 4. Separately from all that, the Templot program itself has always contained some lengthy Help notes on the various functions and settings. But none of that is integrated with any of the above, apart from some instructions to "click the Help button". Which may or may not help, because a great many of those buttons and links still do not go anywhere. Including the "more information online" links: 2_031328_430000003.png 5. Frequently in answering questions on here I have created short Jing videos. There are dozens of them, and even I don't know what the later ones are about. The only way to find out is to play them and see, they are all still available: 2_031328_430000004.png Jing videos are short and scruffy ...
... over again NOT to install Templot in the Windows \Program Files\ folders. There is a note about it on the installer dialog: 2_281935_260000000.png But folks keep on doing it: 2_070750_510000000.png Now you seem to have your files mixed across two locations. It's very likely that if you navigate from there up to the C: folder and down directly to the TEMPLOT_DEV folder, you will find your missing files. cheers, Martin. posted: 7 May 2018 13:27 from: rynd2it Hi Martin, OK,I see your instructions now however, 40+ years of dealing with software tells me NEVER install anything directly on the C: drive.

Regards, Ken posted: 6 Aug 2010 13:04 from: Martin Wynne Kenneth Beckett wrote: When I printed out the test template not surprisingly the rails were 1.3mm wide and the gauge was 9mm between the inside edges. So I came to the conclusion that this was not the way to go because aligning the Peco rail with either edge or centering on those printed could not possibly give me a 9mm gap between the running faces of the rails. Hi Ken, You found the right reference, but you didn't read the instructions: "Assuming your rails are vertical (for soldered copper-clad), measure the rail head width and the foot width. Add them together and divide by 2. This gives you the dummy dimension equal to the distance from the running face of the rail to the outer edge of the rail foot." More and a diagram at: message 4981 When using the template, align the outer foot of the rail to the outer-edge line. The rail head will then be aligned with the gauge-face ...

... topic: 3495 85A Hunslet Lubrication posted: 1 Sep 2019 21:54 from: Roy H I am now the proud owner of an 85A Models Hunslet. From the quantity of dust on the body it has been stored for some time! The motor is trying to turn but it seems that the axles are gummed up with dried lubrication which now has the consistency of Golden Syrup. I read in the instructions posted online that IPA or paraffin seem to be the preferred cleaning agents so I intend to pop the wheel assembly out and clean it. I note the instructions refer to a "special grease" used to lubricate. I only have Hob-E -Lube model oil or their 'HL657 white grease with Teflon'. Is anyone able to advise which would be the best to use? I assume that being modelling products they are safe on this plastic? For information the wheel rims all have a light-ish coating of rust. I initially cleaned a small patch with a Peco track rubber with only light pressure. Also effective were a ...

Microsoft installs this extension in such a way that it cannot be removed directly by the user -- it is listed in the Extensions list but Uninstall is disabled. This is not a bug -- this is the intended functionality of the Firefox extension, probably to enable Microsoft to install software on your machine when you visit their websites with Firefox instead of IE.

... . So, unless your needs are very basic, there's no way to avoid the complexity and two physical buses. At least with MERG designs you can keep the cost and complexity down and not get locked in to a single manufacturer's products." Second point is regarding the MIO-SVO. It is not a kit just yet but that is only due to the dotting the "i "s and crossing the "t "s on the various bits of documentation to support it.

The rules about driving into the countryside for a walk are as clear as mud at present. A close reading of the government web site is that the offence for which you can be fined is not the being there (if once a day, for exercise), but for refusing to follow the instructions of a police officer to go home when asked: http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others But we don't want to turn Templot Club into Facebook, so it is probably best to leave it there. cheers, Martin. posted: 29 Mar 2020 05:16 from: Andrew Barrowman Nigel Brown wrote ...
... Getting Started- from the very start.... posted: 6 Nov 2018 20:09 from: polybear Hi All, I must admit to having experimented with Templot some years ago (back in the days when it was purchased via a CD/DVD and you then had to ask Martin for a lock-release code....). However, I've done nothing with it for more than a few years and now I've decided I'm well overdue. So- are there any recent-ish getting started instructions? I've found some, but terminology seems to have changed and some web pages appear incomplete/unfinished/to do. Or is this still part of Martin's very long "to do" list?
