It may take a few seconds (20MB): http://templot.com/fbr/ladder_single_slip_v2.fbr When run from your browser it should open directly in the Templot Video Player* which is already on your system if you have installed the current version of Templot2.

... . Otherwise good stuff :- D posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:32 from: Martin Wynne richard_t wrote: I actually meant to say (when in sizing mouse action), right click and select "lock switch". I'm not that sure it's important anyhow, as the peg is on the FP and we don't really care what happens to the switch. Hi Richard, If you don't lock the switch when using F5 you will get sudden step changes in the turnout radius through curviform V-crossings, when Templot jumps to the next most appropriate switch size for the crossing angle. This may not affect the final result, but it can be very irritating if you are in the middle of a fine close-up adjustment. Note that such jumping doesn't happen for a custom switch, so an alternative to locking the switch is to use a custom switch on the template. This also lets you adjust the switch heel angle to fine-tune the turnout radius, but repeated iterations can be very tedious. All this changes in the next ...
... topic: 1616 Using F5, Turnout adjustment jumps to an unwanted setting. posted: 1 Sep 2011 23:57 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, I'm not quite sure if this clitch is a fault in the TDV, but thought it best to report it, as I have had the problem happen twice before and again a little earlier today. What happens is, that when I use F5 to adjust the turnout side of a switch, it occasionally causes the switch settings to jump to another setting, in my case the switch jumped from a 9ft to an 18ft when I moved the mouse to adjust. Now the process was to select F5, then Select length free, then, Select switch locked, then To move the mouse to adjust. I then did the same again to adjust in the other direction, and found when I moved the mouse on this occasion, the switch had changed setting to 18ft. All the mouse movements were done slowly so as not to over-adjust. Now I know I could have done the ...
... , yet to be built, in saddle tank format...gorgeous. So coming back to your thought on back to back I take it that 16.5 is correct for Gibson and the odd Ultrascale wheel? Kind regards Andrew Last edited on 20 Oct 2018 20:56 by Andrew Duncan posted: 21 Oct 2018 15:31 from: Andrew Duncan Hello Below is a video of me testing out baseboard no 5 of YPMill and final fettling apart I'm pleased to say it worked pretty well straight away. You may well notice the loco jumping over some of the crossings but only the rear drivers appear effected. In this model that is the fixed wheel with the others compensated with traditional Sharman three point compensation. So I think it likely that the back to back on the rear drivers is a little tight. It may get a bit boring watching it go back and forth, back and forth but I wanted to demonstrate to myself that I could build track that worked and just in case it stops working between now and whenever it's taken for a run next, ...
... track area in question is to be set in cobbles I suspect that we will be having a surfeit of extended check rails (to stop the cobbles from moving) but these may assist in keeping the O-16.5 stock on the rails so to speak. As to the example file you pointed me towards, I am having some difficulty with creating the partial template for the NG element when resizing the turnout. Although starting with a 9ft GW switch, the 'Switch Setting' increases to GW 10ft and then between V5.85 and V5.89 jumps rapidly to GW 12ft. This causes the turnout crossing rail to jump either side of the partial template for the wing rail already created. The steps I've followed so far are: 1. Create base turnout (wider track gauge) 1.1. In this example it is a GWR 9ft v5 Regular turnout 1.2. 'Omit rails' – leave Turnout stock, Turnout check, Vee, and Main check rail. 1.3. Store& background 2. Create blade end of the main road crossing rail (copy from base turnout) ...
... topic: 1844 Don't jump to conclusions. posted: 25 Feb 2012 14:12 from: alcazar Hi, this is my first post, so I hope it's in the right place. Yesterday I joined and browsed. I watched lots of turorial videos. But FOUR times diuring the browsing, my computer hung: the cursor refused to move and only pressing Ctrl, Alt, Del got it going again. I suspected bugs in this software...That's what I mean about not jumping to conclusions. Later, the cursor stopped again, and NOTHING I could do would get it started. It turned out to be flat battery in the wireless mouse. Ever felt like an idiot? Well I have. posted: 25 Feb 2012 14:26 from: Tony W Don't feel too bad, sounds like the sort of thing that could catch any of us out. I had a similar problem with my printer and was not sure if the problem was with Templot or not, it ultimately turned out to be a printer driver bug, ...
... development group" will be a valuable help in filling the gaps. Unlike some software support forums, I very much do not want to create a "them and us" situation in Templot Club where a few members have access to "beta" versions and the majority don't. So this will be available to all members of Templot Club who want it. On the other hand, I must retain proper control over how my development code is used and by whom, so there will have to be some restrictions and hoops to jump through. An open download could turn into a support nightmare which would stop Templot development dead. I will write again in a day or two when I have set up the mechanisms and have a working download available. Thanks Paul. regards, Martin. posted: 15 May 2011 16:31 from: JFS Yes Please!

... hope that the person submitting the file would be able to add the data in the file name. But I'm happy to do it for them if necessary. The most important thing is to get the submissions first, and tidy up the technical details later. 3. How do we put associated notes relating to the object file into the library suite, so that the information is available to all when required? 4. Will there be a max number of words (or total characters) to limit the notes? You are jumping ahead a bit. At present please post them in this topic with notes in the message part as you did for the signal box. Please add them as attachments rather than via the Image Gallery, as the latter uses its own file names. If you add a lot you could post an index list with links to the relevant messages. When we have more idea of the scope of the library we can decide how best to present it. At present my thoughts are a small indexed site similar to: http: ...
... available). Wow! I have updated Allan's text with a few extra remarks in places. I hope you don't mind Allan? There was no mention of F7 snapping, which is mainly for beginners, so I added a note about that:____ Update: In the latest versions of Templot you can simply snap the templates together using the mouse with F7. Just move the brown template until one end is close to the end of a blue template, and when you click or release the mouse it will jump into alignment. So store and background for this first part of the siding. Now I want to attach another bit of track to the end of the siding. To create this new bit of track, right click anywhere, then mint from control template. Then using the mouse with F7, snap the new template onto the end of the last one. And skip the next part... The next part of this sequence is some practice in using the peg and notch functions to do the same thing. These ...
... topic: 3522 Yahoo closing groups posted: 16 Oct 2019 21:49 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin Have you seen the recent announcement from Yahoo, saying that they're closing groups and will start deleting content from Dec 14th. Will that adversely affect anything here? I can't remember what the relationship is, if there's still one. Yahoo groups closing Cheers, Paul posted: 17 Oct 2019 08:07 from: Jim Guthrie It looks as though a jump to Groups.io now costs money so I suggest that we could probably put up with losing the copy emails on the Yahoo Group.

... topic: 2559 Pre-Group Flat Bottom track and curve fitting posted: 26 Oct 2014 15:43 from: CPM I have jumped in at the deep end and maybe am being over ambitious, but you don't know until you try! Some questions: I believe that up to 1910 the Rhymney used flat bottom rail and I fancy trying to model this. Which data set in Templot comes closest to modelling 'old fashioned' point-work? If I use one data set and then change my mind does Templot simply update everything based on the new choices, or do I need to re-,model? Last, the track plan I am following has a gradually tightening curve. How can I persuade Templot to do this? My attempts end up with either a close approximation of the curve but the 'free end' not on a tangent to the plan or with the curve displaced midway along it's length.... posted: 26 Oct 2014 16:30 from: Martin Wynne CPM wrote: I have jumped in at the deep ...
... topic: 2233 use of F7 to automatically join two pieces of track posted: 19 Jun 2013 20:57 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin, Sorry to bother you again. Usually I can join two pieces of track together by using f7 and the two pieces of track just jump into alignment when the second piece of track gets anywhere near the first, but... Suppose I have 3 pieces of track all in line (actually 2 points with a straight piece of track in between). I slightly reposition point 1 (the left one) and want to re-align the other two pieces of track with this, so I move the peg (red circle) onto the end of the point 1 nearest the plain piece of track and move the notch (white square) onto this peg. I now change control to the plain piece of track and move it using f7. I make sure that the red peg is on the end of the plain track nearest point 1 and I therefore expect it to jump into alignment with the ...
... topic: 3080 First Outing on the Permanent Way posted: 15 Sep 2017 06:53 from: Tony McGartland Its only right that I don't jump in and take on things that by-pass the basics. Watched the first video and took all in before deciding to go ahead and follow the routines in the video. Silly question but how do I draw a straight piece of track or is the default 'straight' always a turnout? posted: 15 Sep 2017 10:47 from: John Palmer To convert a template with a turnout to plain track: (Menu) template -> convert to plain track. To convert a curved template to a straight: (Menu) geometry -> straight. posted: 15 Sep 2017 10:58 from: Jim Guthrie Tony, The quickest way is to use the Quick dialog box which you can call up with Ctrl-Q. In that dialog box you can select a turnout with a choice of switches and crossings and radii. But you can also select plain track, either straight or with ...

I suspect somebody may come and suggest you practice the basic aspects of Templot before jumping in at the deep end. The track plan you have is from LNWR days( no date but quite likely circa 1890) so you may want to consult later plans if you intend modelling the station in LMS or BR days. Lovely location BTW.

... same question that I was about to, and following Martins reply I have also managed to get it up and running. I think for an oldie like me who is new to model railways it may be a rather steep learning curve. posted: 31 Dec 2011 22:09 from: Martin Wynne Andy Crow wrote: I think for an oldie like me who is new to model railways it may be a rather steep learning curve. Hi Andy, If you are new to model railways I think you will find Templot is jumping in at the deep end. Only a minority of modellers make hand-built track, and almost none of those would have started off doing so. You may find that commercial track and a program such as AnyRail is an easier way to get started: http://www.anyrail.com How far have you got with railway modelling? regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jan 2012 09:39 from: Andy Crow Hi martin, thanks for the reply, although I am new to the model railway world I have been ...

Wot I do is "plonk 'em down" where they seem to fit Perhaps, more importantly, I'm just a wee bit alarmed that so few (possibly not any) modellers have jumped on the 3D bandwagon. I think I offered to make my models available to anyone who wants to give it a shot, but so far the reaction has been, to put it mildly, just a bit underwhelming- OK, it was non-existent. I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. There is no end of weeping, a not unexpected amount of wailing, and a commensurate amount of gnashing of teeth (not to mention rending of garments) on a site that we know regarding the cost ...
... topic: 485 Email blocking again posted: 12 Jul 2008 04:06 from: Martin Wynne Now demon.co.uk has joined Comcast in blocking all emails from Templot Club and also my off-group emails. I'm not prepared to jump through the hoops which these ISPs demand in order to accept our emails. Even when I do, they start blocking again after a few days, when their useless filtering software detects what it regards as spam from some other user on the same ISP mail server as us. If you are on demon.co.uk or Comcast for email, you may not realise that they are blocking your legitimate emails. Currently this applies to 5 members of Templot Club who receive direct emails. The only thing I can suggest is that you swap to receiving Templot Club messages via the Yahoo group. Even that may not work, this page from Demon is distinctly stroppy about Yahoo groups messages. Email filtering programs are now a bigger menace than the spam. The cure is worse than the disease! Martin. posted: 30 Jul 2008 22:44 ...

... offers the best visual look( that mainly comes down to small flangeways/check rail clearance as it matters not a jot what the actual gauge is) but will still enable sharp radius turnouts and curves( probably bends or corners would be a better description!). I wouldn't mind doing it in S7 as Slaters loco wheels can be turned down by a chap I came across recently and the wagon wheels can be exchanged for S7 ones with Slaters for a nominal sum. Come on Brian L. I thought you would have jumped in here, especially as there are sales in it for you! Thanks again Richard. Rob posted: 28 Feb 2011 19:33 from: Raymond 31.5mm gauge will give you visually appealing track work with close tolerances. For instance, wheels will NOT drop into the gap in crossing noses. However, your stock will run on any finescale 7mm railway and theirs on your track, (so long as the back to back is accurate). But, your tracks will always look better. Regards Raymond posted: 28 ...
