121. Download problem
... as before... I do not know how to solve. There are some characteristics particular to download? For example, be registered to access or something else? Thanks! posted: 30 Jun 2015 14:46 from: Paul Boyd Hi "Rascrow" I also use Chrome and have just successfully downloaded and installed Templot on a "clean" computer with no problems at all (and then uninstalled it as it was my work computer!) Have you tried downloading and installing on another computer? Have you followed Martin's instructions regarding anti-virus software?

... 2015 23:33 from: Chris Copplestone Hi Martin, you said: "For regular V-crossings the position of the marker can be adjusted using SHIFT+ F11 mouse action. This changes the lead length of the turnout without changing the crossing angle, which can be useful in some situations." It certainly is! I have been struggling for the last few hours trying to get a conductor rail to match the the turnout stock rails on four C10 curved turnouts in a scissors crossover. I was trying to follow the instructions in message 14890 without luck. However, simply copying the turnout, changing the gauge to 28.35, aligning the datum pegs on the turnouts using the notch and then using Shift+ F11 to align the turnout centre-lines gives a perfect result!

... the Templot club site many of the members are in bed asleep and so it seems with the chat room. Then I started to look for a link to the chat room on the Templot forum pages and I don't seem to find one. I probably missed it but is there a link to the chat room other than the one you posted in your message above Hi Pierre, Thanks. I'm sure there is an old link to the chat room somewhere here, but I have now added one on the front page: 2_040139_590000000.png Instructions for finding the room password can be seen by hovering the mouse over the above link.

... you and attach a file. When you say "so that the resulting templates are correct", they won't strictly be that unless you are modelling cwr (long-welded) track. Prototype UK jointed track has the sleepers closed-up at the joints. When laying flexi-track, some users prefer to close up the sleepers to match the template, rather than the other way round. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Apr 2015 18:29 from: madscientist Sorry Martin, were at cross purposes following your instructions I crated a plan track that matched SMP spacing, in particular there is no closer spacing as the track joint This is what I meant in making the template" correct", Im not emulating prototype, Im emulating SMP. what I want is to print out all the templates and have the plain track work match SMP as close as possible SO, what I have found is my plain track in templot matches the SMP track,( yes I created a template) but when it creates transition curves, Templot still closes ...
... using GOG-F with GWR 14ft heel turnouts — all just to get an idea of size and scale. Having done this it all looked good until I output a PDF, added a 300mm sq grid and discovered that the crossover was massive, even bigger than the Gauge 3 version we saw at Warley. In fact when I look at the photos I took they didn't include the crossing at all(see attached) So it became a given that we would have to cheat or do the thing in N So I was instructed to do the crossover as a 1:6 or 1:7 to reduce the overall length — the test in GOG F proved it would reduce very nicely — but when i tried it in the broad gauge it all went 'orribly wrong and I started this topic. When you gave me those first suggestions I started to get things to work at last. The latest attempt (stage03) has a straight line length between tie bars of just over a meter, compared the plan distance of at least 1.6m. Sincere apologies ...
... to understand this move for further additions later on. I have used the 'Crossover on Transition Curve' dropdown for advice but must be misunderstanding the instruction.Starting with:- 'First using the MOVE TRANSITION START (SHIFT+ CTRL-F3) mouse action, move the transition start marker on the newly created turnout until it aligns with the transition end marker on the original turnout'. I thought that this would lengthen the heel of the switch but it doesn't seem to have done this. In addition I am a bit mystified about this instruction 'transition start marker on the newly created turnout until it aligns with the transition end marker on the original turnout'. Is the 'original turnout the one on the other track'? The transition markers I can see on both of the approach tracks but not as part of the switches Perhaps I need to cut down the size of the template but am worrying that I will loose the transition through the switches if I try this. Thankyou in advance for any advice on the way forward from here. Regards, Clive Attachment: ...

Cheers, Paul posted: 31 Jul 2020 13:24 from: Bruce A Wilson FastTracks tools and fixtures may seem expensive but they are very high quality tools and you will not regret buying them if you are going to do a lot of handlaying track. The old saying you can get cheap or you can get quality but not both certainly applies. Check out the many instructional videos Tim has on the web site.

130. Diamond Crossing
... a radius, i guess its a curved form. Alan posted: 19 May 2015 15:18 from: dave turner Alan Create two plain tracks- then delete one to the control- mouse click the other track- Peg Align Tools- Make Diamond Crossing at intersection. If neither track is a transition curve and they aren't at too great an angle to each other then Templot will create your diamond. If one or both are transition curves then goto help- watch a video- Scruff video Andrew transition diamond to watch Martin's instructions. posted: 19 May 2015 16:15 from: Alan Whitaker Hi Just watched the video, lost after 2 mins, I kind a need a diamond a bit like it starts but at the end it don't show how to curve the rails to look like the start of the video.

... viewing distance it looks fine. You can judge for yourself from the photos. In MRJ 119, John Hayes described a chair forming jig, which I've made and found to be invaluable. This is in one of the photos in my album. In fact that article was the one that inspired me to have a go, so it'll be worth digging out a copy if you can. Regarding the catalogue, there are no point kits as such, but an etch that provides all sorts of special chairs and some very good instructions. 2-bolt or 3-bolt refers to the prototype- the GWR used 2-bolt chairs whereas lesser railways used 3-bolt I haven't yet made up my mind on tiebars- the trackwork in the photos is waiting for more space to be able to build the layout. My main concern is one I have with a few one-man bands selling very good product- I get committed to a particular product, then for whatever reason it disappears off the market. I notice the catalogue is three years ...

Your copy of Templot should update automatically if you restart it and follow the instructions. Thanks again for reporting it. It took some finding -- in the end it wasn't in the tandem function, it was in the code which compiles the data for the information panel. It was also very strange because the data was entirely valid, and the same code does not create an exception in T3 (compiled in Lazarus). Which means the bug is probably in the Delphi compiler. Whatever, I have now escaped around it. cheers, Martin. posted: 11 Jun 2020 15:07 from ...

As for you being wounded to the heart, well, life's tough get over it. and hone up your skills or you'll never get this application finished. Seriously, Martin, I wish you wouldn't get upset about the manuals or instructions or whatever, just concentrate on doing the things you enjoy. There is enough information to do everything if we look hard enough. Generally a lot of us are just being lazy. None of us will die if we don't get instant answers.

... topic: 3706 Slip road on irregular diamond- which way round? posted: 23 Jun 2020 11:50 from: Julian Roberts Hello Making a track plan on a map, I have an irregular diamond slip where at one end the crossing is 1:7 and at the other it is 1:9. I am muddled up about which way round the slip road goes. I think I've followed the instructions, I have copied each half diamond and made them into turnouts without sleepering, and done the other tasks to make them into slip roads. Logically that would imply to me that the switch for the 1:9 crossing goes actually adjacent to the 1:7 crossing- is that correct? And vice versa, the switch for the 1:7 crossing goes adjacent to the 1:9 crossing. Or is it the other way round? I have printed out the template and it looks perfectly OK to me, but it may not be correct, I've ended up putting the shorter switch by the 1:7 crossing. ...
... 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 many of those buttons and links do not yet go anywhere. Including the "more information online" links: 2_031328_430000003.png 5.

137. Running two copies
... a duplicate of what I am seeing in the first copy when I start copy 2. I am not aware of ever using equalised timbers- except once or twice some time back to see what they were. Having said that, I am one of those that buys a new computer and never actually shuts it down until it is due for replacement, so anything's possible. I only found Templot late 2014. I will try and keep a note of when it does it (maybe it won't after I "read the flipping instructions" and use a separate folder. Like I said, whatever is causing it, it's not a problem anyway.

... they put their minds to it, I have been proved wrong though. What is simple for some is impossible for others. The combination of bridge and standard chairs vary depending on which crossing angle you are using. Special chairs normally use the X, Y, A, B, C and sometimes D& E, and not always in pairs. Bridge chairs are used when 2 standard chairs are too big for the gap. The plans which come with the Exactoscale Turnout kits sometimes vary from the C&L Exactoscale crossing instructions, so sometimes its a bit trial and error. Both closure and exit sides are affected. posted: 12 Nov 2015 14:37 from: Phil O Due to a damaged wing rail on a club layout, where the turnout was constructed using ply timbers and C& L plastic chairs I decided the only way to re-fix the wing rail and also get electrical continuity was drill the timbers& baseboard at each end of the rail slightly under the size of brass lace making pins and gently tap the pins right ...
... -bracing. posted: 16 May 2017 03:35 from: Rick It's a lot of fun and very easy to set up jigs for building turnouts with a Templot template. 2_171952_510000000.jpg posted: 17 May 2017 23:59 from: Tony W Hi Stuart. At the risk of hijacking this thread, I too have recently purchased a large quantity of Sundeala board for my new layout project as my inexperience with it has much to commend it. It does need more than adequate support and in spite what is recommended on the instruction sheet that comes with it, I would not countenance a greater unsupported span than 12" to avoid sagging. It is certainly more sound absorbing than plywood. My previous layout used Sundeala for the scenic boards and Plywood for the fiddle-yard both under a layer of cork. There is a noticeable difference in sound level as trains cross the baseboard join between the two materials. Regards Tony. posted: 18 May 2017 08:58 from: stuart1600 Tony W wrote: Hi Stuart.
