When printing them using Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader, make sure the page scaling is set to "none". regards, Martin. posted: 31 Aug 2008 21:24 from: pjhill Martin, Using pdf995 I can print (although with some odd effects- can't get colour for example) so I can move on. I will try another printer this week and see if it is something peculiar to my setup. Thanks for the help, I will now get on with my trackwork.

... the use of 1mm flangeway gaps but I will haev to do the maths to see how that stacks up with Slaters B to B measurements. Rob, I also remember Brian saying that he was considering using Scale7 profile wheels with the 31mm gauge track with its 1mm check rail gap (same as Scale7). In fact you could almost call the 31mm gauge standard "Scale7- 2" If you considered going down that road then you could easily get your Scale7 wheelsets from Slaters and push them in by 2mm (yet another peculiar British combination- exact scale wheels on narrow gauge track.)

Hi Jim, I'm finding it difficult to grasp the logic of using S7 wheels and then not building S7 track? It's fortunate that we don't have the equivalent ...

Does the SRS have anything? Cheers, Howard. Not enough levers in the signal box. I've managed to (re)construct the signal box diagram and, I think, the locking, and there are two peculiarities. There are detonaters, but only the Down side has a lever in the Signal Box. The Up side has a separate lever on the platform (I suspect in a shed or the waiting room lock-up). Further, the turnout to the Goods Branch was controlled by a ground lever. I've got a track plan that clearly states this. The branch was worked by train staff, and the gates to the J.

... together. cheers, Martin. posted: 2 Feb 2020 08:54 from: Jim Guthrie Rob, Martin, Thanks for your responses. I haven't dug out my 1963 Constructors yet and hopefully there's a better picture in there. The "best" picture I found of the yard certainly gave the impression that the slip closest to the throat was either a proper slip or a Barry type with both crossings and switches overlapping. But the attached drawing is an official railway one and why would it show an arrangement which was extremely peculiar for British railways when it would have been more acceptable to draw a "proper" slip or a "Barry" Slip if that is what was actually there. From the discussion I had with the SSMRS member, he is wanting to model the station after the alteration of the track plan to remove the turntable at the platform ends and the drawing shows this alteration. I wonder if the attached drawing was of this altertion. Re whether it's a Barry slip or not, I took the fact that the crossings overlapped as ...
... I can't recall ever having a problem of this type before, and if I stick with 225a there is no problem. In truth this is not a big issue- for the moment I can stick to 225a, and in January I'll be getting a new PC(Windows 10 obviously) and will download Templot directly to that and hope that that is OK. But I thought I ought to flag this up in case there is an issue that needs attention; although as nobody else has raised this it does look like some peculiarity with my PC. But puzzling that it has never occurred before with earlier updates. Regards, Stuart posted: 11 Dec 2019 07:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stuart, Thanks for the report. That's a puzzling one -- I don't know anything which Templot could do which would persist after switching off. Also there is nothing different about 225b from 225a in the way it installs, and no other similar reports from other users. How much spare disk space is available on the system? Do you have any ...
... has to inherently handle dynamic resolution changes even if it's simply putting up a dialog box saying you can't handle it !!! At the end of the day it's not an issue anyway, Parallels only can do what Windows supports and there are several workarounds that will not cause dynamic resolution issues. Philip can simply run templot in full screen mode, or start it in desktop mode with a window big enough, or run it in coherence mode As I said at the start, I've yet to find an application that exhibits behaviour peculiar to parallels, i.e. That it didn't also exhibit that behaviour under standalone windows.

You are the one who keeps referring to Microsoft not me. The "red" reference is from the way that the computing world reacts to Microsoft products. Half the developers I know hate Microsoft with a vengeance and your earlier reference to the, "Microsoft Way" lead me to believe that you are in that camp. My peculiar sense of humour links this with the way the Americans used to behave in the days of McCarthy (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism) where they became so paranoid that they believed there was a communist under their beds, hence "red under the bed" I am reading the companion section and am finding it a strange concept to come to grips with particularly where you say "you should save your work only when there is a good reason to do so". I'm working on this but I ...
... topic: 2338 Interesting Switch Blade Setup posted: 31 Oct 2013 08:49 from: Jim Guthrie This picture appeared in a thread on the Caledonian Railway Association forum recently. It is of Brechin station and features a "peculiar" turnout on the centre release road of the station. It actually triggered OT discussion about it later on in the thread. http://www.crassoc.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f =7 &t =38#p199 BTW, you have to scroll the pictures on the forum to see all, or right click on the picture and choose "View Picture" to see the whole picture.

... printing from the blank edge then it will print about 300mm of the page and then produce an error message. See screen shot below. This is a problem I have encountered with Templot versions 0.78e, 0.91c and the current TDV. I have looked on the HP website for the latest printer drivers in case that was where the fault lies. I have also set the Windows print sizes to match this but to no avail. I wonder if this will become an issue when printing to large format printers, or is it just peculiar to my setup. The page I was trying to print is highlighted in red. Any ideas but don't stay up till 3 am trying to work it out. 2151_101420_250000000.jpg Tony.

... those who have tried to help/ Cheers Phil Not an answer I'm afraid, but an observation that may help find the culprit. I also have Firefox as my default browser, but have found that some programs, I can't recall which now but I'm sure they weren't Microsoft ones, insist on launching IE (even with Firefox running) when they seek help via the Internet. Cheers for now John from 33820 St Ciers sur Gironde posted: 1 Mar 2012 16:04 from: Nigel Brown It might be related to a peculiar problem I get from time to time. I normally lauch my default web browser, Firefox, from the Web/Home button on my Microsoft keyboard. Every so often this launches IE instead. It appears to happen after some Windows updates. It's independant of the default browser setting. After a few hours things return to normal. I can only assume that this is a side effect of the update process. posted: 1 Mar 2012 19:24 from: bainin Hi, An easy startup program organiser -- free ...

I don't have Templot on this laptop so I can't try it directly, but "Disable Visual Themes" seems to do the trick on a test application. posted: 26 Mar 2009 17:23 from: Jim Guthrie Martin Wynne wrote: Jim Guthrie wrote: The question could be- would you use Sketchbook. Hi Jim, Ok, I'll rephrase the question. Martin, I'd just been indulging in that peculiar form of torture called "pushing timbers" so Sketchbook wouldn't be much help in that. However, I've been digging through old messages about interlaced turnouts and noted you promising some help in a future PUG release for working with interlacing. Is this forthcoming PUG the one with that help, or is it just the "Save preferences to save clicking buttons" solution.

... . The largest file I attempted to do this with was 82 Meg and there were no problems. Judging by the light on the memory stick the file conversion seems to be done in sections and then saved. If the whole picture were done in one go then I doubt very much if there would be enough memory for it to work. There are a lot more overheads on this machine such as the anti virus software, than my desktop anyway. If no one else has reported similar problems, then it probably is a peculiarity of this PC. I did attempt to borrow some extra memory for this PC and see if it made a difference, but it turned out to be a different type when I took the lid off! All the best Tony.

... 12ft& 16ft turnout drawings, it appears the chair gap distances vary along the formation lengths and in some cases, there are three sequential chairs, i. e. two adjacent gaps which are spaced at 2ft 6in, however, the next gap either side of the outer chairs are back down to 2.0ft. There are also a number of different spacing along the lengths, these range from 2.0ft in inch increments up to 2ft 7in and including two of the switch chairs on the 9ft spaced at 2ft 4.1/2ins, most peculiar. Many thanks Tony for downloading my box file, please don't break your back over this, but I will appreciate, as will others, a second independent version, although as I stated before, Martins effort was great, very neat and tidy. Thanks again for your input and, as you say, sticking your head above the parapet.

... . What I suggest you do is note the minimum radius quoted for a straight A5 turnout, convert it to a Y turnout, then decrease the crossing angle until the radius is in the same region, making any adjustments necessary to the curvature of the (main road of) the Y turnout at the same time. That'll give you an idea of the crossing angle required. Alternatively, just make a guess, like A3.5, and see what that gives you. However, I think sharply curved Y turnouts look a bit peculiar; you might want to make the crossing angle a bit larger to improve appearances.

... would make the printing slower, but possibly not by too much. It is interesting that your scan 29 includes a short length of rail correctly rendered, including a closed rail end. Templot does not close the ends of plain track rails, so I would like to investigate this further. Could you post a .box file containing just this template?

It's clear it's something peculiar about my computer/printer set up as no one else is having the same problem. Here is the box file you requested. It is a vertical template 12077mm long that I have had to set up, as to be honest I haven't got much of a clue how I arrived at that result yesterday and which file contains that template....

I've just checked on Google Earth and it does have a few curves- back to the drawing board for Raymond. BTW, why the (to me) peculiar track layout to the south of the station where two separate lines appear to leave the station and split apart, but eventually come back together again to form, one track. At first I thought it might have been for some flying junction arrangement but Google Earth doesn't show any old earthworks which might justify this.

Templot isn't like that :-( Please do realise that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be prepared to learn the specifics of Templot. In fact, I find the track-specialist menus (Action, Tools, Group...) to be the model of clarity, and have certainly helped my understanding of the prototype. It's the "peculiarities" of Templot that make it so difficult to "get into". It doesn't even use the normal convention of CTRL+ Z for "Undo".
