... miracles in terms of sheer processing power, for their day. Then they wanted to sell to the American market. "But it's got no lights!" So the next generation had lots of flashing lights and scrolling displays and it sold quite well, despite these lights performing no real useful function. So yes, I reckon people buy things not based on their actual function, but based on how much function the item apparently has. With software, if it's a huge download it must be a super-duper program, mustn't it? And if it's only a tiddly 1.5Mb, well that must be a little bit of shareware someone's cobbled up Based on Templot, I wonder if it's true that the smaller the download, the more powerful the program? Today I downloaded SP3 for Windows XP. 330Mb....

... do that: dxf_scaling.png Extract from the help text: "If the scaled box is ticked, the DXF data will be scaled in accordance with the current print> enlarge/reduce size> menu setting." print_any_size.png The scale for 4mm/ft is 1:76.2, so to convert S4/P4 to full size, set the print scaling to 7620% (yes really), but I advise against trying to actually print at that size! Just use the setting to create the DXF file: print_7620.png *But you mustn't use Templot for laying actual full-size railway track -- see the licence terms. And Templot is optimized for model sizes, so some of the defaults and limits will be inconvenient or restrictive at full-size. For example, the maximum overall length of a template might not be enough in some situations, and you would have to split it into two or more templates. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Apr 2008 21:02 from: Phil Chudley Cheers Martin, will have a go over the weekend ...
... In a curved crossover, you can save a bit more length by shortening the length of the inner turnout only (i.e. the one with negative curving). One way to do that is by changing down one size for the switch. So you might have a C10 outer turnout and a B10 inner turnout. Alternatively you could leave the C switch and shorten the lead by increasing the crossing entry straight (for regular type crossings only). Or you might do both of these things on the inner turnout. But you mustn't change its crossing angle, otherwise the crossover road won't align properly. (Also A7 is "natural", although A switches aren't used in running lines, so wouldn't be found in crossovers. And you wouldn't want to curve an A switch by much as the deflection will get very tight and be suitable only for short-wheelbase shunting locomotives.) I then found out I could keep the main radius down to 300' (47") without getting the other exit going into the red. The radius at which ...
... topic: 1445 Templot on Twitter posted: 4 Apr 2011 17:01 from: Martin Wynne I've been told that I should keep up to date and put Templot on Twitter. So I've added a Twitter button on the front page of Templot Club, towards the top right. I've no idea what it's for, or what I'm supposed to do next, but we mustn't get left behind, must we? If anyone knows what it's for, please feel free to use it. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Apr 2011 17:04 from: Rob Manchester Martin, Yeah, I heard of Twitter too but likewise have no idea about what to do with it. Sounds like something to do with spending even more time at the keyboard instead of playing trains.

... 45 from: Rob Manchester Thanks Martin, Thanks for the pic. I know the parking spot well. A nice trip along through Beaumaris for fish&chips and a walk round the lighthouse overlooking Puffin Island. Lovely views back over to Llandudno from there. Think I need a trip....

Apparently I mustn't wander over the border into Wales. As far as I can remember this is the first time in my lifetime that the Welsh boundary has become an actual border.

... ones end to end. The rule which can't be broken is that the special switch and crossing chairs fit the rails in fixed positions, so there must be some timber under the rails in those positions. And for robust track the timbers need to be as square-on to the running rails as possible. Where there are rail joints they need to be as close together as possible within the limits of fitting a fishplate between the chairs. That usually means 24" or 25" centres under rail joints. But ideally they mustn't be too close together side-by-side or end-to-end, so that the gang can dig out under them if they need packing or tamping, or replacement. If you search back through the forum you will find a lot of previous discussion about all this. I summarised some of it here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/127840-peco-bullhead-points-in-the-flesh/page-22#entry2942656 cheers, Martin. posted: ...
