... ., exactly as you have done with the issue of the lack of proper documentation for Templot. One would have thought that you had by now realised that successful business folk faced the marketplace and attuned their products to consumer demand.... Hi Brian, What did I do wrong? You said you didn't like receiving private messages and I explained how to turn them off. Puzzled, Martin. posted: 21 Jul 2010 23:24 from: Brian Lewis What did you do wrong? You have created, or participated in, a system that has no print button. Surely the whole point of computers is that they give access to information that can be printed out in hard copy? And, come to think of it, why does this message writer not have a spelling checker? But do not worry Martin. As ever, I have no doubt that the usual retards who think you are brilliant will soon be rushing to your defence.... :-) Brian Lewis Martin Wynne wrote: Brian Lewis wrote: There you ...
... welcome the move to open sourcing Templot, however I am confused by what seems to be two separate OS versions which are different from the main Templot which you continue to develop as a closed-source project. My understanding of OS is that the whole product is open-sourced including all the build methods etc. In such a model everyone is able to contribute and you in effect would become one of those contributors. In my opinion having two separate versions that are not part of the main product roadmap gives little incentive to participate. This link may provide further info on the open source philosophy- especially the section Understanding Community Expectations: http://opensource.com/article/17/6 /what-know-you-open-source-your-project John Last edited on 12 Sep 2019 07:01 by John Clutterbuck posted: 12 Sep 2019 09:23 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, Thanks for your thoughts. The original motivation for open-sourcing Templot was to ensure that it remains available if the grim reaper comes looking ...
... had a note on the chat room: "If there is no-one else here, why not post a message on Templot Club forum inviting others to join you." But as far as I can remember, no-one has ever posted such a message. Members have occasionally looked in to the chat room, found no-one there, and gone away again. Something about horses and water comes to mind. Maybe no-one is thirsty? Martin, The only successful model railway chat room I have participated in is the 7mm one where it starts at a set time on a set day. Then participants can arrange to be there at the appropriate time if they are interested. I don't think there are enough UK model railway enthusiasts around on the Internet to populate chat rooms such that there will be at least two people around at any one time to start up a conversation.

... from: Hayfield Its good to see Mr Jukes has gone public in the EM Gauge Society newsletter this quarter, with a brief confirmation of his new plans for Exactoscale track range, hopefully during the transition away from C&L continued supplies will be available via the two societies. Being the owner of some of the Exactoscale products I can understand his protective attitude towards his products, and that until new arrangements are confirmed its difficult to comment on matters. What I did find surprising though was the attitude of of some of the participants on the Scaleforum thread. With few exceptions I have found the P4 modellers I have met to be exceptionally nice and helpful people. Reading some of the replies though gives the impression of a bunch of elitists.

5. Index
... languishing in obscurity. "Sending folks to it before then could be counter-productive, in that they might come to think of it as not worth looking at. No this one won't do, it has no validity whatsoever, a simple note at the beginning of the Index saying "This Index is in the course of expansion daily and will become more effective as time goes by, please check before asking questions" would cover the situation but only if it IS updated accordingly. Your original wording should remain to encourage user participation in the updating of the Index. "Everything takes time." It sure does but what is important is how you use the time. "Richard posted several useful index links a few days ago, but I have not yet had time to enter them in the index, and I won't have for the next few days. Derek is waiting for a video on passing clearances. I recorded it over a week ago, but have still not found time to write the notes and prepare the web page. Both part ...
... liquids start being sloshed all over it in the frenzy of track building! Anyway, this might give someone food for thought posted: 29 May 2012 11:26 from: Glen Suckling Paul Boyd wrote: Whilst pottering about with my printer the other day, it occurred to me that I've never seen mention here of using custom paper sizes- I bet most of us are sticking together bits of A4 (I've given up with telex roll for building templates on- too flimsy!) Hi Paul, Over the years I have participated in several threads on this forum which have discussed custom paper sizes using both sheet and/or roll paper. My wide printer will accept any paper up to 19 inches wide and, theoretically, of any length. I say theoretically because most of the software connected with the printing process seems to have its own limitations independent of the actual printer. This includes Windows and some of the CAD, graphics and PDF programs. In practice I find that 18 inches wide by eight feet long is the largest practical size to print ...
... video resources as well as answers, it should be edited, condensed and placed in the FAQ perhaps under "How do I join sections of track". That particular section may be added to or amended when someone else has a question on the same subject that hasn't been covered by the existing information. All of this could be covered by forum searches but it's fairly clear most people don't have the patience/time for something like that. It's not the easiest thing to set up and the crowd must be interested enough to participate, but I am optimistic it could work well. I am not in a position to help out at this time and I am hardly an expert on Templot (and know nothing about the latest iteration), but in the near future I may at least have some free time to get involved. I do believe this software is fun to get acquainted with and interesting to use.

8. HOm Track
... topic: 1987 HOm Track posted: 17 Jun 2012 13:07 from: 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 ...
... we were on the same platform- it's transparent to the user). There is a video facility which we don't use but we prepare a presentation on (in our case) OpenOffice Impress and one of us runs it on our local machine for all the guests to see simultaneously. There are facilities for guests to type questions or to use their microphones to ask questions. These can be private between the guests and organisers or open to all on the webinar. The statistics we receive have been very useful as feedback from the participants. We usually keep the webinar to an hour including questions as this doesn't tie people up for a long time and it means that you can run a number of bite sized sessions which take less time to prepare. As with me talking Templot to others, I have no connection with the company but a satisfied user! Long note, I'm afraid, but its aim is to help the cause if possible.

... 2020 20:53 from: Charles Orr Martin, Thank you very much for that live demonstration. As I said, I found it incredibly useful. posted: 25 Sep 2020 21:10 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for all the messages. I'm glad it's proving useful. Back now with a fresh cup of tea. M. posted: 25 Sep 2020 21:29 from: Charles Orr I'm watching. All good posted: 25 Sep 2020 21:33 from: Julian Roberts Hi Martin Great! Unfortunately I can't participate this weekend- hopefully you'll be doing this on more occasions? Cheers Julian Last edited on 25 Sep 2020 21:34 by Julian Roberts posted: 25 Sep 2020 21:55 from: Martin Wynne Hi Julian, Yes, if my voice lasts I'm hoping to do this again from time to time. Ideally it needs a bit of advanced planning, this evening's bout is just to find out what goes wrong. I've already discovered that I need to look at the DPI settings when capturing screenshot maps. cheers, Martin ...
