103. Defaults
... set my favorite gauge (1 /160 to FS 160 standards) with US standard sleeper size and spacing as the default? Hi David, Welcome to Templot Club. You can't change the actual defaults in Templot, left to itself it always starts up set for REA bullhead pointwork in the fictional T-55 gauge. Instead, the general idea is to store your custom settings in a library template -- program> store as library template menu item. Then load (or add) the .box file containing it to your storage box whenever you want to use those settings. You then copy the library template to the control template, and off you go. You could have several different library templates in the file, with a range of different settings. For example you might have different rail lengths/ sleeper spacings for running lines and sidings. If you call your file start.box, it will be loaded automatically on start-up. This way of working allows you to create an infinite variety of custom settings, and choose whichever you want at any ...

(18 Sep 2019 21:39). I thought that was where this thread started before 2.23u and 2.23w? I am using 2.23u. I seem to have lost my .box files...the ones that appeared in the box when I clicked on the load or reload storage box from file option. They are there in the 2.23w version. Incidentally, my anti virus programme hi-jacked your 2.23u.exe when I tried to run it. Apparently they analyse the file and then clear it before I can open it.

... gauge name will now be showing "009" in the info panel, and the settings will have been applied to the control template. 8. make whatever further settings are required to create your 009 template -- timber lengths, etc. The way to save any settings in Templot is to store and save a template containing them. 9. press the INSERT key on the keyboard or click the top tool button having orange double down arrows. You now have a copy of the control template on the background and in your storage box. 10. click the main> save all templates... menu item, enter a suitable file name and save the file. 11. next time you want to use this template, click the main> reload/add from file... menu item, and select the saved file. 12. the template will reappear on the background.

... seems to maintain 6" clearances between dummy vehicles of 4-SUB dimensions, but may still not be aceptable. I didn't alter the carriage line and shunting neck clearances as these already provided more than the standard six foot. I've done some timber shoving which may or may not be to your taste. I've also provided a trap at the approach to the outer crossover, which I think is what you require. If, instead, you want to trap the 'oil terminal' points on the inside of the layout, the storage box includes a couple of single tongued traps in what I think are appropriate positions.

107. Flipping track!
... in the down main at Crewkerne: message 3292 regards, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2012 16:25 from: Mike Waldron Hi Martin I was meaning tandem offset ones- like the S4 and EM gauge associations send out with their templates- with the switches staggered. Mike posted: 10 Feb 2012 16:46 from: Tony W A useful tip when clicking templates to select a group where there are numerous partial templates superimposed and it is getting difficult to tell if you have got them all, is to open the storage box and in the storage box window go "Group> Wipe group from backgnd". This will leave any unselected templates visible and hide the selected ones allowing the remainder to be easily selected. The group can be made visible again by opening the storage box and choosing "Group> Copy group to background". The group function is incredibly useful and can be used in many different way and save much time and effort. Apart from the obvious uses such as copying slips and making scissors crossovers, it can be used ...
... good progress. I can't believe that this proposed layout has been 10 years+ in the planning!! Hi David. You should be so lucky! My major layout project has been some 40+ years in the planning/ research phase. Finally started cutting wood for baseboards in anger earlier this year. Regards Tony. Hi Tony, Well that makes me feel a lot better! I've also started to cut some timber, although it's for the Base Units which will not only support the Model Railway Baseboards but also provide a storage for Magazines etc that I've collected over the years.

... : 4 Apr 2012 00:11 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Many thanks for the response to my last query. First let me say, that I did realise that the background shapes appeared in the order that they appeared in the menu list (i.e. the order that they were loaded in), that is why I thought the re-load would place the item on top, so no surprise there. It was just a passing thought that you may be able to do something similar to that with the storage box, with the side arrows to move items up or down the list. No big deal though, now that I am aware of how to correct similar events. Regarding the colour, I thought the centre area of the signal box shown in workpad, had a green hue which is not present on my master or the item that appears in sketchboard. Again this was really just a passing thought on my part and no reflection on workpad. Regarding using shape items from sketchboard, this is pure ignorance on my part ...
110. Track Plan 01
... achieve with your layout. It is a little difficult to make comment on a layout design without having some idea of the builders aims; I have no idea where you are on your personal model railway journey. You mentioned the LNWR, 30' coaches and a traverser. To some that may indicate a layout theme based on the LNWR in pre-grouping times or perhaps branch line operation in post grouping (LMS) days, when those carriages would still have been in revenue service. The use of a traverser indicates perhaps storage for a number of trains with which you may seek to operate a prototypical sequence of trains on your model railway. Are you seeking to achieve some sort of prototypical operation? A little more information would probably elicit and greater and more interesting response from the group. Best regards, Pierre posted: 14 Jan 2014 06:35 from: Murryb Hi Pierre What I am looking at is a LNWR branch and I have taken the plan from Llanrwst& Trefriw and add double tracks at one end, as for prototypical operation that ...
... topic: 521 Wild Swan Magazine Storage posted: 11 Aug 2008 03:41 from: Ian White I have finally got round to collating my issues of "Model Railway Journal" and "Great Western Journal" and wish to store them vertically on a bookshelf. I enquired at Wild Swan several years ago about how I might bind them, but they did not produce anything themselves and suggested I had them professionally bound. Since this would cost too much (I have all issues of both magazines) I have spent the last couple of hours searching online but have not been able to find anything suitable. I would prefer to have binders or slipcases of 'almost' correct dimensions, rather than those designed for publications of "Railway Modeller" size. If anyone can recommend a suitable supplier I would be most grateful. posted: 11 Aug 2008 04:01 from: John Lewis I *think* you will find Modern Bookbinders of Blackburn do a suitable size binder.

112. Updating Templot
... out of the box before continuing. 4. whatever, before the final install it shows a confirm dialog: 2_311700_120000000.png which shows the location which will be used. If it is not what you want, you can click the Back button a few times to go back and edit it. I think I need to change the wording a bit to make the above clear. But first I need to do more testing to establish that is indeed how it works. If you install Templot in Windows virtual folders or online sync cloud storage and suchlike I can't be sure how it works because I have never used such locations (for anything, not just for Templot). cheers, Martin. posted: 31 Jul 2019 22:56 from: Jim Guthrie Martin, OneDrive sets up a folder in my users folder on the C: drive. Templot is installed in this Onedrive folder so its address is c:\Users\Jim\OneDrive\TEMPLOT_DEV. OneDrive then mirrors this drive to the cloud, so to all intents and purposes the templot install ...
... , the plan has returned to what it was BEFORE my changes. I always thought Templot "saved" everything when you backgrounded the templates? Is there any way I can get the plan back to match the printed version? I ask because I am not done printing and I feel I won't be able to exactly match what I had before Cheers Bruce posted: 13 Apr 2010 07:52 from: Jim Guthrie Bruce, If, when you re-start Templot, you say OK to restoring the previous contents of the storage box, you get back the last state of Templot. I thought that might be the case, but I've just tried it out by modifying a known layout then switching the PC off without saving the changes. When I restarted everything and started Templot and accepted the previous storage box contents, the modified layout appeared with the changes as done. I suspect that if you don't accept the previous contents of the storage box when you start up, then you might have lost your data- although I'm sure there could be a ...
... cleaning the track to resoldering broken connections is my best guess. It doesn't include any rolling stock. I may include the Scalefour Society lever frame at Maiden Newton. On YPM I'm NOT intending to include the station building or overall roof as I can reuse them on the new YPM. This is an urgent disposal as we need the space for the business as we're having to move out of our warehouse at the end of the month and use our home to store some of stock for the business until I can find an affordable storage solution. So my reality is that if I can't get rid of the two stations I will have to break them up and take them to the dump, which I'd find difficult! So any offers would be welcome, but at the end of the day what I really want is for it go to a good home. Kind regards Andrew posted: 6 Jan 2019 18:43 from: Andrew Duncan Here are a few photos that show firstly Maiden Newton looking south down the line towards Weymouth. 2787_061333_040000000.jpg And here's the ...
115. Paste?
... specific about which functions they mean. So I would like to respond to this suggestion if possible. The problem is of course that it is not at all clear what Cut, Copy and Paste functions would actually do in Templot. If it was, I would have implemented them already. At present I'm minded to do this: Copy= same as save group, but to a hidden temporary file. Cut= ditto, then delete group. Paste= same as add from file, from the hidden file and using the storage box option to form a new group, then pad view fit group. The user can then use the mouse actions to shift and rotate the new group to a new position, or use the notch linking functions to position it. A group can of course consist of a single template, or the entire track plan. Using a hidden file allows the copy to survive across sessions or multiple instances of Templot. None of that does anything that can't be done now. Nor does it provide a function that would have much ...
... Windows 7 regards, Martin. Martin sorry that this formatting is all over the place. I haven't got the hang of how to manipulate it better for clarity. My answers to you questions are in bold or in separate boxes. I hope this time the box file will come through ok Andrew Attachment: attach_2104_2665_Yeovil-Tunnel-entrance-curves-sorted.box 225 posted: 8 Apr 2015 00:29 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Thanks for the .box file. The problem is template TR3822, no. 231 in the storage box. You have hit a known issue, where the transition curve is too "gentle", i.e. the change in radius is too small over a transition zone too long. This causes the transition calculations to exceed the maths capabilities of the computer processor. Templot tries to catch this condition, but isn't very good at it. When I have tried to make it more secure, it restricts the usable functionality by too much. Usually it displays as a shattered glass effect, see: topic 1391 The effect on ...
117. This Is It
... folks Well I've now drawn a line under my Templot EM gauge layout and expect to start track building soon! All the baseboards were finished last year based on the 'finalised' layout but the detailed finishing-off by refining alignments, adjusting check rails& timbering etc, plus of course some tinkering about with it have only just managed to be completed. Congratulations to Martin for such a brilliant program. The layout is completely freelance. It consists of a main station, a single line branch and an 8 train turntable for the storage sidings element. Maximum train length of six carriages plus loco. I have two fully interlocked signal frames for controlling the points& signals, one for the station the other for the branch, on order from Modratec. Huge credit to Harold of Modratec for the design of these using their SigScribe program. The working potential of the station has been a major consideration for me and has resulted in a rather complex S&C configuration at the station throat area. I am looking forward to the challenge of building it! The ...

... ever reads it. The other common thread was an inability to understand the meaning of "Delete"and "Wipe" in the retrieval of templates. Delete has a finality about it in normal computer use!.. Have you considered a reappraisal of these two areas? I have considered changing it to "remove" but the meaning would be exactly the same of course. In fact "delete" to the control is the correct word, because that is exactly what you are doing -- deleting the template from the storage box, files and backups. If you forget to store it again you can always get back to it using undo/re-do changes repeatedly, and then store it. Alternatively those who feel nervous about remembering to store it again can use "wipe to the control" instead which leaves an unused copy in the storage box. This tends to accumulate a lot of unused templates in the box, although they are harmless and easily removed later all in one go via the box menu on the storage box. regards ...
... topic: 1074 To Vee or not to Vee, that is the question posted: 11 Mar 2010 14:25 from: Dellboy Hello I am about to start some point building, initally using copperclad sleepers (a first for me) for the hidden storage sidings and then using riveted sleepers for the rest of the trackwork. Code 75 rail with C&L flexitrack for the plain track. In the dim distant past I built points using rail soldered onto tacks driven in sleepers and then progressed onto the 'new' system of rivet/sleeper construction with whitemetal cosmetic chairs. That dates me a bit! My sequence used to be to set up the main stock rail as one continuous rail for the full length of the point followed by the Vee, then the turnout stock rail, then the wing rails through to the switches with the check rails going in last. For three -way points all the vees would be installed after the first stock rail (starting with the Vee furthest from the switches). Similar approach for diamonds, slips and ...
120. File location
... Windows registry. This means that you can move the entire folder anywhere you like and everything will still work. For example you could have the folder on a USB memory stick which you could move from one computer to another, and have all your files and settings available on there, and have Templot working immediately where you left off, without needing to install it. It also means you can easily back up your entire Templot activity by adding the TEMPLOT_DEV folder to your backup set. Or by uploading that folder to online cloud storage, say. You can of course save your Templot files anywhere you wish on your computer when the file dialogs are displayed. But it is then up to you to keep track of them. If you want to have Templot on your D: drive instead of C:, you can simply install it there (or anywhere else you wish). However, if your Documents folder on there is owned by (i.e. was created by) Windows, or is one of Windows' infuriating virtual folders, I strongly ...
