... Most of my photography has tended to be at model railway shows I've found, most ending up on Flickr. We all need something to distract ourselves from the pressure of life. For me it tends to be one of, reading science fiction or playing video games. But I also make jewellery as a therapeutic hobby, usually gifts for friends and family. Much cheaper than buying items for people and more personal. it helps distract me from the realities of life (mainly constant pain and fatigue). Having said that, recently my other half has gotten a rescue dig who has brightened our lives.

A mixture of things really. The layout was extended once with the addition of an off scene industrial siding, which required the replacement of a turnout with an outside slip, but mostly it was down to errors and amendments made over the course of time. The most recent change (from issue 8 to 9) was replacing the pencil drawn original with the computer graphic I posted, but I took the opportunity to update one of the point motor numbers from M2 to M2a for clarity. This change had been noted in red ink on the earlier working copy some years ago, so no, I don't exactly rush to do the updates, just make a note of them at the time.

... than dramatic 'improvements' to the software itself. I think that organising formal workshops would be asking too much though. Of at least equal concern ought to be a desire to keep the existing user base happy. Too many changes in a relatively short space of time, or efforts to 'dumb down' the software can be frustrating for existing users already familiar with Templot's functionality- particularly those like me who only need to use Templot on an occasional basis once their dream layout has been designed. Despite this, a few of the recent changes are indeed wonderful and beneficial to all, like the new slip function for example. Templot is a superb program. I really don't know what we would all do without it. I can cope with learning all the changes if necessary. posted: 30 Jan 2018 11:31 from: madscientist I agree, given that wholesale changes to make the software more amenable to beginners is simply not a practical option and secondly given the HUGE amount of information about n text and videos that Martin has already produced, I think ...
... . Templot can now remember pad views, so that you can conveniently return to a previous view. This is very useful when you are working in two places at once, or you want to return to where you were before zooming in. There are two completely independent new mechanisms, both available on the zoom/pan controls dialog: zoom_pan_views_large.png The 4 numbered buttons are fixed pre-sets which you can set up and return to at any time. Independently of those, Templot automatically keeps a rolling record of the 8 most recent views you have been using. A view is regarded as in use after it has remained static for 5 seconds. You can return to these recent views by clicking the previous view button repeatedly. When you do that, the next view button becomes temporarily enabled, so that you can click back and forth through the recent views. When the view has again remained unchanged for 5 seconds, the current view will be added to the recorded views and the next view button becomes disabled again. While the view is changing, ...

I like Thunderbird, particularly the junk handling, but I have spent too many fruitless hours on trying to get it right. If I have not succeeded by tonight, I and going back to IE7 tomorrow. There's some confusion here- IE7 is a web browser, not an email client! I'm not sure why you think the link in your signature is not a hyperlink- your recent posts to P4_talk seemed OK, if I remember correctly. You won't be able to click the link in your signature text file, but it will appear as a hyperlink on outgoing emails. My signature is done in exactly the same way, and does appear as a hyperlink on emails and usenet postings. Have you tried the plug-in for the date that Borg-Rail suggested? One of the huge advantages that Thunderbird and Firefox have over the equivalent Micro$oft products is that they can be customised. If there is ...
... topic: 3514 Recent narrower Hornby coach wheels posted: 3 Oct 2019 15:09 from: Andy Reichert I rarely buy any UK 00 RTR, but was given some latest run Hornby Gresley suburbans recently as a gift. On inspection, I was surprised to find that they have 0.1" wide wheels, particularly since a few years back their 2-6 -4 BR tank to experiment with I had bought had 0.11" wide wheels, as per the NMRA HO spec. Since I will be changing the wheels for P87 width ones, for use on 16.5 mm HO Track, it doesn't affect me, but It certainly won't help UK modellers using commercial 00 track. And, without checking, I thought the DOGA "specs" don't match that size wheel either. Am I missing something, or is this a big goof on Hornby's part?

... you know I've been using Templot for donkey's years, so here goes!...irregular diamonds... The strange thing is, that after all the clamour for them, they now hardly get a mention on here. So either the demand wasn't really there, or I got them just right first time -- which is difficult to believe. Believe it- they just work. Like anything that just works you never hear about it- you only hear when things go wrong! I've used them loads of times. My recent screenshot of a short angle diamond was actually irregular, and a slightly less recent screenshot of Yatton was absolutely stuffed with them- I wouldn't even have bothered drawing that up if I had to use partial templates. The resounding silence is a sign that you've got it spot-on first time. The same goes for several of the other new features -- platforms, gaunt turnouts, wrapping a picture shape along the control template, foot lines on FB templates, the dummy vehicle tool. I'll admit to not really using ...

... made redundant and decided that I would take early retirement and so I find I have a little more time to re-kindle my Model Railway Interests. I first acquired Templot over 14 years ago and have only really dabbled with it on sporadic occasions. I have attached a copy of my Templot Box File and Background Shapes of where I got to around 4 years ago. I am basically at the stage of having to re-learn Templot almost from the beginning although I have followed the progress on the Templot Forum. The recent discussion on importing and using Maps as Background Shapes has also spurred me along. I did import a Map of Moretonhampstead that I copied from one of the many books that I have acquired. It compares reasonably well with the 25" Maps of the NLS. I'm not too sure if I have used the correct style of Turnout. The 1 in 8.25 RAM/ CLM seems an odd size E.g:- REA semi-curved C-size left-hand switch (unjoggled) 1 in 8.25 RAM( 1 in 8.28 ...

I sent an order at the beginning of the week and they might be processing it, but I have not had any acknowledgement either to the email, or to a follow up phone call. In both I asked them to contact me to confirm receipt, but no response. It is a bit worrying as the order had all my card details on it. Is this how Exacto normally deal with orders?

... -- in earlier versions they were simply called "curved" crossings. That caused no great problem in the UK, but in the USA and elsewhere there is a mind-set that all crossings are dead straight -- which caused confusion with the simple case where a regular crossing is inserted in a curved main. In all the development of Templot, the biggest single headache has always been the choice of words. I tried countless different options for "the control template" before finally settling on that form. Until very recently it was the "current" template -- which invited confusion with the currently selected stored template, and failed to make clear its unique nature representing the generator output. Another constant bone of contention has been "point", which in the UK is used erroneously by a great many modellers to mean a turnout, but in the rest of the world is correctly used to describe a switch blade, or just the tip of it. Perhaps I should revert to "irregular" and just resign myself to explaining over and ...
... topic: 910 Loose heeled switches posted: 26 Jul 2009 10:57 from: David Burton There was an interesting topic on the forum last year showing pictures of a loose healed switch, with some suggestions on how to model them. topic 424 Having produced a plan for a small Great Western yard in the early 1920s using this type of switch, I now need to start building them. Fairly recently there was an article on producing loose healed switches in the modelling press. Try as I may, I have been unable to find it again. People in the various groups to which I belong can remember it, but have been unable to tell me where it was. Can anybody help please? Thanks.

... -inch centres (50.8mm). This is sufficient for a running clearance on all but the sharpest model curves, and allows clearance for obstructions such as a signal post. These options make it easy to widen the spacing when needed and reduce it again when no longer needed, without going into the settings dialog. In addition there is now a warning for standard-gauge tracks if the spacing is less than the minimum 134 inches for 6ft way. This does not apply to narrow-gauge tracks. 2. The most recently stored background template is now shown on the trackpad with bold timber outlines. This is primarily to create a visual change for beginners when a copy of the control template is stored, hopefully to avoid the creation of duplicate templates.

Hi Tony, Do you mean it stops after the first template, or the first page? To complete the print process you must click either the print all remaining pages button or the omit all remaining pages button. Clicking the print page button simply tells Templot which pages you want, it doesn't control the print process. ...

... think I'm ready to create a test file. I just need to add the webbing between the timbers. cheers, Martin. Hi Martin, I needed some light relief. I spent most of the day dorking around with my printer but despite making some progress, it's still not working. There is at least a theory now, but that will have to wait until the cold light of dawn. No, I don't think there is anything wrong with your two nozzle idea. I was thinking along similar lines but I noticed recently that, even with 0.2 mm nozzles, most of the time (I have not quantified the amount precisely) goes into printing the chairs rather than the timbers. I concluded two nozzles were not worth the effort and decided it's better to focus on things that would make the printing process as repeatable as possible. With filament printing it's always going to take a fair bit of time and there really isn't a way to get around that. It's a serial process that requires the acceleration of massive objects. If the process is ...
... with the code, or at least if they are doing so they are keeping very quiet about it. Which leaves me wondering where we go from here? There is still a lot missing from the open source version, including the PDF exports and the entire sketchboard function. Should I be spending time on solving these issues? They are no 5-minute tasks. Or just leave the existing open source where it is for anyone who wants it and otherwise forget it? There is also the question of open sourcing my more recent work on Templot2. I am in the middle of a big update to the DXF exports for the 3D rendering and possible 3D printing of bullhead chairing. The code for that will need a lot of explanation and commenting to make it sensible for others to read, and I have not yet done a user interface for all the many settings or any user help notes. It seems that open sourcing everything creates a lot of extra work, and from the level of interest so far I'm not sure that it's really worth it ...
