... name appears on screen or within the menu items. I'm guessing it is there somewhere but blowed if I can find it. Hi Gordon, The following applies to Templot2. If you are still using 091c, all bets are off! Sorry about the underlining, but you said you only ever skim-read stuff. Firstly the answer to the question, but please read the rest of this reply too. The information you want is in 2 places: 1. the last file accessed is shown at the top of the recent files list. That's at the files> recent files> menu items or the recent files button on the program panel dialog: 2_121028_240000000.png You don't have to load a file, just click off the list to cancel it. 2. The path to the last box file added to, or saved from, the storage box is shown at the top of the storage box. If it is too long to fit, simply drag the right border of the storage box wider to see all of it: 2_120937_490000000.png It doesn't appear ...

23. Another one lost
... you the ropes, maybe be a good solution for this person Regards Phil posted: 17 Jan 2014 12:34 from: Nigel Brown I've a slightly different slant on things. Problem analysis and problem solving are skills, they only come with experience, and how far an individual can go down that road depends on the individual. Someone who goes through a university degree, or an equivalent educational process (I use the word educational in a wide sense), is likely to be further down that road than someone who has recently left school. And using a serious software package for the first time without outside help requires those problem tackling skills. This particular individual does not seem to have acquired those skills, as of yet. It's a general problem and I don't think there's any easy way around it. For example, seems to me the obvious thing to start with in Templot is to draw and print out a simple turnout or two, of the sort you might be interested in, in the scale you are using. It will teach you ...
... does it have to be so difficult to access the tutorial videos? [/ rant] Thanks! posted: 20 Aug 2014 07:00 from: Matt M. Hi Ade. In what way are these a pain to use? I run Templot in Bootcamp on a Mac. The videos run in a web browser without problems. They also run on the Mac side in Safari or any other browser. Martin is gradually updating the videos for various sections in FBR format. I haven't had a chance to try the most recent. But all have worked as advised so far. Regards, Matt M. posted: 20 Aug 2014 09:49 from: Martin Wynne Ade wrote: The videos found here are all Windows EXE files. Why is this, please? It's a real pain in the proverbial to try to run these on a Mac, even with Crossover. I appreciate that there is no intention to make a Mac version of Templot itself, but why oh why does it have to be so difficult to access the training materials? ...

I'm finding the idea of OO-SF track appealing, but need to know if a friends H0 stock will run on it ok. Thanks J You may very well find that the deep flanges of the Roco etc. wheels will bump along the tops of the chairs in this gauge. Wait a mo. Just tested some wheels I have recently removed from a Roco wagon and yes they hit my Exactoscale chairs and I know C&L are worse for this. Soldered track would be fine though.

... topic: 1755 Steel rails v Nickel Silver+ 31.5mm point queries posted: 31 Dec 2011 12:40 from: LSWRArt I had assumed that nickel silver had largely replaced steel for track (O -gauge indoors), but I recently read "We prefer steel rail for appearance and find that it and the wheels stay cleaner than nickel silver" (Model Rail December- St. Merryn). So what are the pros and cons of NS v Steel, as I could not find this discussed in either GOG forum or on this site? Does that preference apply to wheels as well as the track? I am particularly interested if this reduces track cleaning, which I think is one of the worst jobs, especially if you intend to have point rodding and lots of scenic bits which are easily damaged. What are members' preferences for track cleaning? Rubbers leave bits, so what about chemical cleaners and does it depend on which metal you use for the rail? Can I also clarify something on 31.5mm 0-MF. Am I correct ...

... 2007 13:22 from: Rextanka Hi Martin, I am familiar with the discussion you mention. I think if the discussion had been couched in the terms of your posting here, reaction would have been a lot milder. I think the issue is that Callum, perhaps unintentionally, appeared to hijack a number of threads on RM web. Including, horror of horrors, one about P4. Naturally this raised a few hackles and he was encouraged to make his own thread which he did. Callum is very enthusiastic about his recent discovery of OO-SF since it seems to answer some of the problems which judging by his postings he has put a great deal of thought into. Unfortunately this enthusiasm came across as zeal. Newton's third law seems to apply especially to electronic conversations and a strong reaction ensued. I really hope he does build something because as I mentioned to you in our conversation earlier, this seems interesting to me. And I for one would be happy to answer any track making questions he has, as I'm sure would most on ...
... different branding. (They also offer the smaller one as well) I find it one of the most useful tools in the workshop. I have the belt running vertically and the table permanently attached for use with the belt. I never use the disc. The discs are self adhesive and are a real pain to get off when they are worn; and if you want to change to a different grit that's the end of that disc. Changing belts is easy. I can also recommend the service from Machine Mart. I recently broke the bracket supporting the table. It's not a particulalrly strong item and I got a piece of work jammed between the belt and the table. I phoned on Friday afternoon and the part arrived in the post on Saturday morning. You may be able to do more accurate work with the disc than with the belt, but I wouldn't bet on it. The table is definitely not a precision job. I regard the machine as a very quick and useful method of getting something to the right size and shape quickly. ...
30. Forum emails
... topic: 19 Forum emails posted: 22 May 2007 01:43 from: Richard Spratt This forum Yahoo email is really annoying. Many times the messages arrive out of order and the thread loses sense. posted: 22 May 2007 02:11 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard,> This forum Yahoo email is really annoying.> Many times the messages arrive out of order> and the thread loses sense. That problem is down to Yahoo. It's been bad again recently. You can solve the problem by choosing to receive your emails direct from the Templot Club forums, instead of via the Yahoo group. You will also get them much more quickly without the usual several minutes delay via Yahoo. Try this: 1. Go to Yahoo and change your setting for the Templot group to "no email". Or send a blank message to templot-nomail@yahoogroups.com 2. Go to the Templot Club pages at http://www.templot.com/forum 3. Login if not already. 4. Click the My Account button at the ...
... topic: 1524 Exactoscale Company is not responding posted: 31 May 2011 13:01 from: Dellboy Hi I have two outstanding orders with Exactoscale with no explanation advised. Recent attempts to contact them by phone regarding the orders has produced 'unavailable' and their message leaving service is full. Obviously a backlog is building up. No clues on their web page. Does any one know what is amiss with Exactoscale ?? posted: 31 May 2011 13:19 from: David R When I last spoke to Len in April he had just been diagnosed with potentially quite a serious condition after several months of ongoing illness. They now know what the problem is and he is finally getting the appropriate treatment. However, during this time, he has not been able to devote as much time to the Exactoscale business as he would normally, so some things have been delayed. I would suggest (even more) patience, snail-mail correspondence (it does still work sometimes), and ensure that any email has the word EXACTOSCALE in the subject line ...
... point (no pun!) Best Regards, Howard. posted: 6 Jul 2010 06:44 from: Richard_Jones Hi Howard, No I'm not a member of SEMG, but I often look at the photo pages and pull off the latest edition of "Coupe News" which is a mine of infomation on Pullmans (for those race specials, though in reality the Pullman race specials ran to Drayton rather than Singleton...) I am in the Brighton Circle E group, and Mike Waldron (EB Models) has recently started a thread on that forum regarding LBSC track geometry and has mentioned Templot templates, so I am hoping he may share these in this forum. best wishes Richard posted: 12 Jul 2010 16:55 from: Mike Waldron Richard: there's probably value in contacting John Ritter (ex-pat in Australia) on the Brighton Circle egroup.

... topic: 2077 Baseboard Material posted: 10 Oct 2012 12:46 from: Richard_Jones Hi, Does anyone have any experience or views on using plywood for baseboard construction. I recently asked a joiner (who also makes baseboards) what plywood they use and was advised 9mm WBC from the builders merchants. I had a look at what my local builders merchants have to offer and I'm still fairly bewildered as in 9mm they offer: BC/CC FE plywood WBP@ £25.08 H/W faced popular core WBP@ £14.95 BB Finnish birch combi@ £41.06 Indonesian marine@ £29.04 elsewhere I also found Robbins elite BS1088@ £66.29 Quite a price range! Although I expect its a case of "you get what you pay for" can anyone offer any advice as it would be pointless "spoiling the ship for a 'halfpence of tar". Have a look at "Singleton" on this forum or: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/1858-singleton-under-construction/ If ...
... topic: 379 Out of one's depth posted: 22 Mar 2008 05:09 from: Raymond Having recently moved I find myself with a loft that has 32x12feet of usable space. For someone who has never been able to contemplate more than a 15 foot end to end this is mind boggling! So far I have designed the fiddle yard but am at a loss how to cope with the space to best advantage. The plan is for a GWR mainly goods railway. In the past I had planed for extensive factories served by rail but this may be an opportunity to do a marshalling yard instead. If anyone has any advice to offer it will be gratefully received.

35. Switch Blades
... topic: 282 Switch Blades posted: 10 Dec 2007 00:46 from: grahambeare In the very recent past there has been a posting with a link to either a S4 or a CLAG site which details the planing lengths of the various switch blade types.

... through the drawings whilst crafting custom templates. Regarding the intermediate crossing angles, YES, indeed according to the drawings, those n.3; n.6;& n.9 are correct, including the n.6's right up to 1 in 10.6, though why they should have created an n.9 when for example 1 in 5.9, the next step is 1 in 6 !!! I will never understand, but that's the old railway !! On this very point of the old railway, you may be interested in a rather 'joking' article that was recently posted on the Scalefour forum by Allan Ferguson, which is repeated below. By Cyril Freezer in 2000, writing about Percy Keen on the 90th anniversary of the MRC...." ....One of his tales, very apposite in view of Alan Blackburn's recent talk, related how, before WWI, a friend had a problem with crossing timbers on a piece of complex trackwork. They were due to ride on the LNWR inspection train, and there duly put the problem before the district engineer. He ...
... The solder has no shelf life! Best wishes, Howard Last edited on 22 Apr 2018 12:17 by JFS posted: 22 Apr 2018 12:51 from: Martin Wynne JFS wrote: Epoxy is also usually my preference but are you sure it is actually better in this case? Hi Howard, One reason for preferring epoxy for most jobs is that it is gap-filling, an area where many other adhesives fail, requiring a very thin joint line to work. We have seen in some close-up photos recently that the fit of the chairs to the rail section is far from perfect. What's puzzling me a little is why the need for an ultra-strong life-long bond? I had thought that the main reason for attaching the slide chairs with adhesive was to stop the timbers falling off or losing alignment between bench assembly and track-laying. Once the track is laid there doesn't seem to me to be any great need for a strong fix between the slide chairs and the stock rail (for models). The ...
38. File names etc
... on this subject and I have to say that I am mightily confused as to why you have not followed normal "Windows" practice by placing the file name on the top bar of the window. It says "trackpad....[no mouse actions active]. I get your comments about how the filename is not created until you save it but if I load a box file then it would be a great help if the screen showed that and not have to use two or more mouse clicks find the most recent loaded file. As others have said, we save various stages of development in separate files and knowing at a glance which one I loaded from would be a significant help. From a software development viewpoint( 40+ years) the Windows platform works because developers all use the same protocols and standards. Therefore anyone using a program running on Windows knows what the keys and buttons do and where information is stored. Deviating from this causes confusion. Having said that- I am very impressed with the scope of Templot and find ...
