... Templot chat room posted: 17 Feb 2009 17:12 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, The Templot chat room has been available for a couple of years, but it has seen minimal use. This might be because a) it's not wanted, or b) no-one knows it's there. To find out which, I've put it in a panel at the bottom of each topic page, as you may have noticed below this. If it is still not being used after a month or two, I will scrub it entirely. To enter the chat room, you need to enter a name to identify yourself, a colour in which your name will appear, and the room password. Your browser can remember these details, so all that is needed next time is to click the "Enter Room" button. The password is easily found. It's shown in the left column on your profile page at: My Account. Alternatively, in Templot, click the tools> metric/ scale calculator menu item. The password is the word ...
... , I have a bottle of this which I shall try out!I assume that you are diluting it as per the destructions? Best Wishes,Howard. posted: 15 May 2012 21:22 from: Martin Wynne JFS wrote: I assume that you are diluting it as per the destructions? Hi Howard, Yes. I use the crystals and usually bung in a bit extra for luck, and make it up with hot water and a brisk stir. When I was making copper-clad pointwork commercially I used to scrub it with the crystals sprinkled directly on a wet nail brush, and rinse off in hot water. I don't think it's too critical. regards, Martin. posted: 16 May 2012 07:34 from: Les G Howard wrote:...BIG CAVEAT:- I don't use Steel Rail so have no idea if this would work for that situation- perhaps someone could experiment- but it does stop nickel silver from going green...

... is more approach adopted by many finescale modellers too. posted: 1 Jul 2008 20:42 from: Martin Wynne Paul Hamilton wrote: but I am mindful of the less is more approach adopted by many finescale modellers too. Hi Paul, Very tactfully put! One way to make more seem less is to adopt the CJF trick of drawing only the track centre-lines instead of the rails. I also removed three of the carriage sidings: paul_cjf8.png Apart from the addition of the MPD top left, which could easily be scrubbed, that isn't significantly different from the original CJF design in terms of track complexity. I think in order for "less is more" to work, you do need masses of hidden storage loops/fiddle yard/cassettes/whatever, and CJF designs tend not to provide that. Certainly this one doesn't. If you implement "less is more" without adequate stock storage, I think you will find operating sessions become mostly "crane" shunting -- physically placing and removing stock from the tracks. You may not ...
... with F7 and got it as near as damn it, but knowing Martin, I'm sure there is a much easier way.... Hi Gordon, I'm not entirely clear what you are trying to do. If you move a template the way you suggest it won't match up with the existing tracks? If you want a template spaced exactly 514mm from the first template in your screenshot, the obvious way would seem to be to set that as the adjacent track spacing, and make double-track from it. Just scrub the old template and make a new one! Or align the old one over the new one, if it's a valuable customized template of some sort. Alternatively you can shift the control template by a set amount in either the X direction or Y direction (or both at once) by clicking geometry> shift/rotate> shift template by... menu item. Likewise for one or more background templates, select it/them as a group and then group> shift group by... menu item. ...
... more? Martin. posted: 13 Oct 2012 14:24 from: LSWRArt HI Paul I assume you have a copy of <Branch Line to Swanage> by Vic mitchell and Keith Smith, published by Middleton Press. That clearly shows the station plan with the three turnouts (in 1928, although this layout continued until about 1940). regards Arthur posted: 13 Oct 2012 14:33 from: Paul Boyd Hi Arthur I do now, but I didn't when I knocked up the Templot plan! Edit: Actually- scrub that! I'm sure I had it once though... I must have worked solely from Neil's plan. I'm getting it confused with the Swanage layout I did for Neil, for which I referred to a different book.

... No need to be sorry. You are probably right, although I wasn't suggesting it should stand in isolation. Don't forget this page has also been on the web site since the beginning: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_firstoff.htm with various revisions over the years. The objection to the "track plan" tutorial is not really that it's too advanced (or too basic). The problem is that it is 12 years old and utterly out of date. The question then is whether to adapt and modify it, scrub it and completely remake it, or create something more attractive such as a video or slide show. I also think that the first time user who enters the web site should have a big, un-missable, button facing them that says "Getting Started with Templot". On the web site or in the program? The problem is finding screen space to display a web site and the Templot program at the same time. That's why I started work on an embedded guide which can be easily dragged about, without ...
... also see the two 1.0mm spacers I use to set the flange way gaps through the crossing. They are very shallow in height and so a bit fiddly but, I find the benefit of being able to see exactly what's going on, on either side of the gauge pays dividends for my slightly haphazard way of working. I got the idea from Tony Gee at Missenden last summer. 2787_122002_280000000.jpg Having then soldered up the assembly I put a sharp knife under the brass strips to lift them off the temporary plan and give them thorough scrub in the sink. I'm using steel rail so being able to get rid of all flux deposits it an advantage. 2787_161843_570000000.jpg Having dried them they're then ready to glue in place on the layout, having first trimmed the excess brass strip to length flush up against the side of the rail. That's about it for now.

... to protect your intellectual property or financial gain. Dave Hi Dave, 3-D printing is not for the faint hearted I solved the leveling problem by adding a screw that hits the z-axis microswitch right at the switch's button rather than at the end of the actuating lever. The z home is easily adjusted by turning the screw. The results seem to be quite repeatable. These are printed in PLA/PHA which works well. I'm using a heated glass plate at 55/50C. The glass gets a good scrub with domestic glass cleaner and paper towel between prints. Adhesion is good. The models are not parametric but they make extensive use of blocks. Any changes to a block propagate through an entire model. No problem with giving you the source files. This is just a my hobby and I'm happy to help anyone who wants to give it a shot. I have to go out for a bit but I'll post some files later. Step files might be best as they seem to be compatible with Fusion. You are probably ...
... my experience leaves less residue. (3) Use the right flux and solder for the job. For etched kits I invariably use Carr's 188 solder with Carr's Green Label flux. This solder flows beautifully, running along seams and the like without leaving any blobs. For joining etched parts it's great. Don't use it to fill gaps or where the solder itself needs inherent strength. It should be fine for soldered track unless you're in the habit of having excessive stress in the track. If the soldered parts will take water I scrub thoroughly with washing up liquid and an old toothbrush, then rinse, otherwise use cotton wool buds soaked in meths. (4) Small bits of wood can be useful for keeping parts in place without burning fingers; I have a pack of cocktail sticks on hand for all sorts of jobs. (5) I think the figures quoted for power needed are excessive; use the right stuff in the right way and you don't need that much power. I use two Antex XS 25 watt soldering irons, one with the ...
... then draw..." I think I could work out how to do that, but not how to control when it comes to the end of the window. I shall experiment and let you know when I've achieved it- or failed, as the case may be. Hi Derek, I didn't necessarily mean that you should do any of that. It was just the first thing that came into my head to illustrate the Meccano method that I use -- bolt something on, see if it works, if not scrub it out and bolt something else on instead... There are various ways of doing it. For example a brick wall is quite similar to the staggered printer page outlines in Templot, so you could have a look at how those are drawn on the screen. Or the OOP approach would be perhaps to have a class called row_of_bricks, give it properties such as the number of bricks and the size of each, and a method to draw itself at a given location on the screen. That could mean drawing the ...

... ?), I see a member which I think is you having a login name related to class 37 locomotives, who joined on 19th January 2011. Is that you? If so you are still subscribed to the Yahoo group. Do you want me to unsubscribe you? Assuming it works when I attempt to do that of course. Yahoo groups is now an unholy mess. With our 20-years of messages archive now deleted, and no search function, there is little point in continuing with it. But I can't scrub it while I know some long-time members still receive their Templot Club emails that way. cheers, Martin. posted: 1 Mar 2020 19:13 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Yes, that could be me Happy for you to try and unsubscribe if you would be so kind.

... up to your standards Paul! I think I got better at using less solder as I went. I had only my mobile phone with me and am more used to contributing to that Forum. http://www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f =5 &t =7028 posted: 19 Aug 2020 13:14 from: Paul Boyd Hi Julian That's a good write-up! As far as excess solder goes, get yourself some desolder braid. That can be used to wick away excess solder, then a scrub with a wide glass fibre brush (10mm in my case) you get those shiny, neat joints. It is best to minimise the amount of solder in the first place, but you're getting there.
