... notch, it is referenced from the trackpad grid, not the control template. It is not part of the control template, so changing the peg position within the control template to be over it doesn't make sense. Here are the available pre-set peg positions within a template. You can also create a user-defined peg position: 2_102138_030000000.png Can you say which is the greyed-out option that you mean? regards, Martin. posted: 11 Mar 2014 12:12 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin Are there any instructions how to create a user defined peg position? For example, to roll it along centre line and how do you choose which centre line to use on a turnout?

... topic: 3244 Make a ladder crossing with single slip posted: 19 Mar 2018 16:46 from: Charles Warr Hello. I am a new member having difficulty constructing a ladder crossing with a single slip almost identical to that demonstrated in the video except my slip goes from the main into a siding. By following the video instructions I have built the diamond crossing and prepared the turnout by removing the timbering and centre lines. Because my slip goes from main to siding I pegged the turnout to the first half diamond at MCP and it appears to fit exactly. Using Tools – make slip I see the latest version differs from the video. I am offered a choice and chose single slip same hand. The complete slip is constructed in one go rather than the 2 steps in the video – very good. Now my problem. I seem to have the slip superimposed on the diamond crossing. If I wipe the half diamonds I get a lovely set of rails but no timbers. What am I doing wrong? A second problem is the rails ...

I find Gorilla super glue to work as well as anything. Plenty of butonone helps as well. I agree that price is no guide at all, but I also think poor results are largely because we do not use them for their intended purpose- as a generality, modellers are hopeless at following instructions/ reading specifications/ using within limits etc. As an example, I recently watched a colleague "soldering"- to be frank, it was a bit of a mess. When I pointed out that he had not done any cleaning, (and was not using the best flux and his iron was too small) he said "Well it looked clean already..." That same colleague proclaims "All super-glues are useless"! I don't think he would be unique! I used Loctite 435 for ...

If you set it up as a portable wi-fi hotspot you can get internet access on your laptop from it. Templot downloads only a few hundred bytes so will have negligible effect on your data quota. Once Templot is started you can turn the phone off. from Settings, tap Wireless& networks> More tap Tethering& portable hotspot tap Portable Wi-Fi hotspot Follow the instructions to set it up for the first time.

... 15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, Yes that print is from 091c. If a print is trimmed to the roadbed then you would most likely lose any file name that was on it too. File searching with Notepad++ might be possible, if you can remember some details for the template. e.g. we know it is number 144 in the box and a C-10. It's likely only a few files, or only one, matches that combination. I will do a bit of testing later and post you some instructions. How many files are in the "it could be one of these" category? For the future I will add a function to the file viewer to search for and list the template ID numbers. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Dec 2015 21:30 from: Gordon S That's great Martin. Yes it did occur to me that once trimmed you would lose that info, so some form of search facility would be fabulous...:-) I'm assuming that each template has a unique number, ...
... of the control template, but on a mirror (on the 'Y' axis) of the curve of the control. It's very likely I'm missing something obvious here, but I haven't worked out what yet and it may be connected to the "straighten along the control template" function, which I believe should be used first, but which appears not to do anything at all. I don't remember using that (or seeing it) previously though and a search of the site didn't produce any hints. Any ideas, or instructions on how to do it correctly, would be MOST welcome.

Ian posted: 13 Apr 2013 08:43 from: Hayfield Thanks all, I got the larger radius wrong, it needs to be 5000mm not 1500mm. I have made a quick start on it, by just adding together a straight, curved and slip track over a B6 diamond crossing. Can someone please point me in the direction of either a thread or instructions of how to make a slip with one straight and one curved road please.

Martin. posted: 24 Feb 2016 12:49 from: Geoff Cook Yes That little note should help because when on the sketchboard their was nothing really to tell you when I did the export to pdf in the sketchboard I was expecting that page like you get when doing the same thing from the trackpad, but you just get the "save file box" which got me thinking that I had missed something so cancelled and try again which confirmed it wasn't the same I wouldn't worry about that instruction manual, there are loads of software that don't have instruction manuals supplied with them, and also don't have somebody to ask I spent £1500 on a licence for some stock control software it did have a manual of sorts, but if you got stuck and had to ask, the answer was come to us and pay £400 per day, I did master it but it now sits gathering dust The licence had to be renewed each year, by them sending you a floppy disc for free, fail to renew it ...

... much easier in the next Pug -- why not join the development group and try it in the TDV? Gaunt turnouts are now available, mainly for this very purpose -- to provide a V-crossing as a partial template in which the crossing angle and turnout radius can be independently adjusted. template> gaunt options> gaunt turnout menu item. F9 adjusts the V-crossing angle. Set a curviform type of V-crossing, and then SHIFT-F12 adjusts the turnout radius via the gaunt offset. (These instructions are for TDV -- they won't work in 091c.) Also for some reason I couldn't change one of the Templates to marker colour.. What happened when you tried? Only background templates can have a marker colour, not the control template. Click on the background template, and then template colours> marker colour... menu item. You won't see anything if the control template is over the top of it -- move it away using F7. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Jul 2011 09 ...

... done by eye when new lines were being laid in the 19th century. These lines were laid by contractors (Benton& Woodiwiss in the case of Hawes station in 1877/8, under the supervision of the Midland Railway's resident engineer, Frank Lynde, and engineer-in-chief, John Crossley). Am I naive in assuming that the contractors would have used some sort of measuring device to lay a new line like this and that the supervising engineers might also have used one to check that the contractors were implementing their instructions correctly? I can see that marks on the rails, position of sleepers, and an experienced eye could be used to instal replacement track, but I find it hard to believe that the contractors and supervising engineers would not have used something to ensure that the track was laid with a reasonable degree of accuracy when it was first installed. posted: 2 Jan 2013 16:21 from: Alan Turner Bob Ellis wrote: The last few posts on this topic have referred to the laying of replacement track and have set me ...

... on page 4 will run from within page 4? What next? Thanks Colin posted: 9 Sep 2020 12:43 from: Martin Wynne Hi Colin, If Templot runs ok when run as administrator, but not otherwise, then clearly your normal user account is not set as administrator. You can either: 1. change the permissions on the \TEMPLOT_DEV\ folder to give full control to your user account, or 2. change your normal user account to administrator. I'm sorry, I don't feel qualified to post detailed instructions for making such changes in Windows. I make the Templot program available free-of-charge "as-is". I do my best to help folks to use it, but this goes beyond that. See my other post yesterday. Sorry. If you search on Google you should be able to find the necessary instructions. Does anyone here feel qualified to help Colin? Anyone else seeing this problem with Templot? The problem with the SK5 loader for FBR videos suggests you have permissions problems there too. Please ...

Trackwork is an amazingly complex subject and to have the software available to produce replica arrangements in such a diverse range of scales is truly remarkable. Please do look after yourself.

When creating future templates, either insert turnouts in plain track, or real> plain-track options> rail lengths and sleeper spacings..., and select your custom setting. Either way, you shouldn't need to do any actual timber shoving just to use a custom plain-track setting in any template. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jul 2012 15:22 from: Alan McMillan Hi Martin, Thanks for the information. I may be missing something but when I went through your instructions, nothing seemingly happened at all. I created a new template and then inserted a turnout into it. I then used F3 and F4 to extend it and the plain track parts had the correct sleeper spacings but the turnout didn't. It also didn't remember to omit the rail joints which had to be removed by using the Rail Joint Marks menu item afterwards. I've attached the BOX file in case it helps.

80. HOm Track
... Geoff Chatwin Good Evening Thank you for the opportunity to participate on this site. I model Swiss Narrow Gauge which is 3.5mm to foot on 12mm track. I use mainly Bemo products but I have found their turnouts and to a lesser degree Peco far from satisfactory. So I am going to have a shot at making my own. The only 12mm track I can find on the site is for TT gauge which is 3mm to the foot. Is someone able to point (no pun intended) me in the direction of some instructions on how to create 12mm track for HO scale? I have tried every keyword I can think off but apparently not the right one! Also, is anyone aware of a site that gives some good instructions on how to make a turnout particularly on how to create a frog. Many thanks. Kind regards Geoff posted: 17 Jun 2012 15:11 from: Nigel Brown Hi Geoff There's no general answer. As in any other scale/gauge combination, the track has to be compatible with the wheel standards used by ...
