Throughout this process I have made a number of misteaks (Spelling error intentional) but I have learned much about both track work and how Templot works to make partial templates that are used to produce some fantastic trackwork. Hope this helps all. Regards John P in Alberta posted: 18 Mar 2009 09:32 from: Pete Brownlow Hi Martin, I sympathise with you- I do IT support and you do occasionally get users who will take their frustrations out on you. I had a user recently who seriously told me that the solution I was proposing to his problem was unacceptable because it meant he would have to think about it! My suggestion (and I think you should do this with all of us Templot users) is to respond that technical support (with the exception perhaps of licensing queries) is NOT available by private email and must be done by posting to this forum. This is similar to Nigel's proposed response, but slightly stronger in that I think you should require users to post problems here rather than ...

... Alan, Forget that, I can now reproduce it myself. The N problems have arisen because a few days ago I moved a couple of topics to a different more appropriate forum for them. It seems that if you hadn't read them before I moved them, your N symbol gets lost on the moved topic itself, but appears correctly against the new forum. In other words, your problem is not an unwanted N, but a missing N on a topic which you have not read. You can catch up with all recent topics by clicking the Recent Topics button. If anyone else has similar N symbol problems, please click the [Mark All Forums Read] link and catch up on unread topics in Recent Topics. I will report this bug to the forum software authors. If you ever get in a muddle on the forum pages, remember that all messages can be read in strict chronological order on the old Yahoo group (this link will expand the message texts).

... suffered corruption in the database and has been recompiled. +++ Hello, With a view to entering the 2mm Scale Association Layout Challenge I've been working on producing a plan to form a suitable base for Templot templates to be produced over. My chosen prototype is the "Old Station" at Bristol Temple Meads, which for those that don't know it can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/5xywn4 As the track is entirely under an overall roof the track arrangement unfortunately doesn't show on Ordnance Survey plans. However, I recently chanced across a 1908 plan in the GWR Magazine. Although my period of interest is the late 50s, early 60s as far as I can ascertain there were little or no per way alterations since that time. Anyway, I've overlaid this GWR plan on an OS map and this is what I've achieved... templot1.jpg It took a bit of skewing and stretching but I'm very pleased with the result. I'm going to work out more accurate stretcher bar locations and confirm the track centres of the 4 lines within the Brunel ...
... has been caused by extensions granted by Congress protecting large companies like Disney. This is not what copyright was meant for). (You may remember the push to have the subject of a photo to have monetary rights granted as well). Images work the same way. But once dead the copyright cannot be renewed by transferring to a new medium. With the NSWGR drawings that I'm hunting down I've had reason to reproduce some very large plans of surveys from 1908 for personal use. These are 6 x 2 metres. Till recently the process of reproducing these items digitally has been prohibitive. Plus there was no way to handle and utilise a 100% 600ppi copy. Now I can handle these on my laptop with no problems. The only issue on hard copies is finding a printer large enough. But it wasn't free. Even with a discount on the camera reproduced copying done within the NSW Government's own departments it was several hundred dollars before I even had to pay for digitally stitching the item together. There was a try by the "Lands Department ...
... topic: 3243 Mouse wheel in Windows10 posted: 18 Mar 2018 23:08 from: Martin Wynne If you are not using Windows10 you can ignore all this. If you are using Windows10 you may have noticed that in one of the recent updates Microsoft have changed the way the mouse wheel works. Generally this is a Good Thing, except when it isn't. There is a lot of discussion about this on the Windows forums, but as usual it seems to be impossible to find definitive information from Microsoft. The change applies to all software, not only Templot. I haven't made any changes in Templot itself. What now happens is that wheel events go to whichever window the mouse happens to be over, regardless of whether that window has focus or whether some other window is showing modal. Except in the case of child windows, where the wheel events now go always to the parent window, and there doesn't seem to be any way for a child window to receive wheel events. What does this mean in Templot? Generally it means that ...
... topic: 2148 Shirebrook Track plan posted: 23 Jan 2013 16:35 from: adj I've been wanting to model Shirebrook for years and have made various attempts at a plan in Templot but recently I've found the following site plan for the depot. http://shirebrookdieseldepot.co.uk/siteplan.html I was wondering if anybody could advise on how accurate these plans are. I have noticed a couple of things.- When creating plans in the past I have used images from the planning portal and the track centres appear to be a standard 11'2". Shirebrook West junction, just beyond the bridge also has the same centre to centre distance according to http://shirebrookdieseldepot.co.uk/renewals.html If I measure from the plan though it appears to be more like 12'8".- The curvature along the main up and down is not constant which is not really a surprise but I am struggling to match it in Templot as I cannot see any consistency along the curve, it appears continuously to vary. How faithfully should I try and copy the plan? Should I ...

This is intended to speed up screen response when you are working on a small part of a large track plan. More explanation of that here: topic 3207 p.s. your post reads a bit oddly. I know the working of the storage box is a mystery to many, despite my several attempts to explain it over the years. I wrote another explanation recently, here: http://templot.com/companion/basic_working_methods.php wipe is used only when you want to leave an unused copy of the template in the storage box. For possible re-use later, or if you just want to make some trial changes to it, which you can easily revert. It is not used very often. cheers, Martin. posted: 16 Jul 2019 11:24 from: JFS Well hang me- works just as you say... It had to be something like that ...
... sure who is currently supplying track gauge tools for 0-MF. S7 (33mm gauge) is the exact-scale option with its own wheels for those who want that instead. That's the 7mm equivalent of P4 with similar restrictions -- requiring springing/compensation, easier curves, and no interchange with existing stock having G0G-Fine "industry-standard" wheels. But it does look good. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Feb 2011 09:11 from: mike47j On the 7mm yahoo group it was mentioned recently that Roxey do the 31.5mm gauges, but its not on the web site, so you have to ask. As you probably found, C&L do 31 and 32mm gauges.

In my opinion they look better than 'another make,' although to be fair to the latter I am using them on a 'joint layout' which was started before the former became available. I understand the designer of Exacto was the original designer of the 'other make'; so one would expect an improvement.

93. New 7mm Project
... topic: 3009 New 7mm Project posted: 11 Apr 2017 20:03 from: Josh C Good Evening, I just thought I'd start a new topic to show you what I have been working on recently, and for any feedback on what other people think of the plan and for some guidance on a few finishing touches for this design. I have recently been working on a project with a friend of mine, who has recently started out in 7mm. As you will see from the attached photo and file. The project consists of two parts; a permanent fixed running loop with fiddle yard and a integrated layout that has been designed to exhibit. The outside loop, which contains a double slip, two points and a passing loop on one side and a ladder fiddleyard on the other side. This has been designed based on 32mm Peco track work, this part of the layout has already been built and is just about up and running. The fixed part of the layout has been designed like this so we have somewhere to continuously run locos ...
... a direct copy of them. Its just they differ quite a lot from the Templot default style. It was more of a question why they differ from the Templot default plan was the main query, which you answered earlier. I think by going off on a tangent I am confusing everyone The A5 EM gauge build is coming on nicely, will post a photo once I have completed it Many thanks again posted: 20 Apr 2017 15:50 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, Thanks. This is not the first time recently that I have been unable to make head nor tail of what I'm being asked. I think I'm losing the plot -- maybe it is time to think of drawing the Templot project to a close? It has been 38 years now. If your original question had been: "I want to build an EM turnout on the Exactoscale P4 A-5 plastic base, what is the best way of doing that?" I would have answered: 1. discard the Exactoscale template. 2. print a bog- ...
... If a file is corrupted all bets are off. If you know the internal structure of a file you might be able to reinstate it using a program such as Hex Workshop. However Templot makes it very difficult to lose significant amounts of data. By default, every time you save your work it creates a new file. So you can always go back to an earlier file, losing only your work since then. Also the restore previous session and restore prior previous session functions are always available to go back to the most recent two Templot sessions. For backup, all members of Templot Club have a private space on here where you can upload your files for safe keeping. See: http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_category.php?id=4 topic 835 regards, Martin. posted: 18 Jul 2016 18:51 from: DerekStuart Thanks for the further reply, Martin.

However, I was rather bamboozled by the number of different parts and how they interelate. I wonder if it would be possible for you to incorporate drawings or photographs of all the parts on the C&L website. I think that this would help one to choose the parts required and get it right the first time, rather than having to use the exchange service which you offer Regards, Richard posted: 27 Mar 2008 03:23 from: Brian Lewis Richard Webster wrote: ...

If not, only you know where your files are. Templot won't have deleted them. With the launch of Templot2 in 2011, the default installation folder changed from C:\ ...
... Boyd Hi Martin I've heard the same thing several times over the years -- "I can't learn by reading, I have to see it". That was one of the reasons I changed to creating the videos instead of producing more static tutorials. Well, I'll stick my hand up and say that I don't learn best by reading but by doing. Probably why I was crap at school in theoretical subjects but did well in practical subjects, and why I'm working in the "doing" part of engineering! A very recent example- I've just bought the Turner jig for making Alex Jackson couplings. I read the instructions before it arrived on how to make the jig, and on how to make the couplings. I couldn't make head nor tail of it all. The jig arrived, I built it and could then see how it works and was turning out AJ hooks in the blink of an eye- I filed the instructions But that message is excellently written and perfectly clear. Far better in fact than the many garbled posted messages I see ...

... -- -- In either case, the customer must also obtain Microsoft Windows. Officially this would be a full retail package, though I imagine many will push the licensing rules towards their limit and obtain an OEM copy. Costs- Leopard (free with a new Mac) is £85 Parallels is £50 Windows is from about £50 (OEM) or £170+ (Retail) What's the deal here with the OEM version? OK, so it is probably bending the rules a little, but I have recently bought an iMac (very nice apart from the very un-ergonomic keyboard), and want to put Templot on it. I have no other need for Windows on the machine, but cannot (legally) take the copy of Windows that came with the PC I no longer use (except for Templot) as that has passed to my daughter. I don't mind paying £50 to get Templot up and running (on a pounds per hour basis, I have found Templot very cheap. Also very expensive whilst on ...
