Some components may need to be ordered, with the lead time that implies. I am pressing for priority to be given to the sorting out even if that means more products being unavailable in the short term." posted: 16 May 2018 19:42 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Would some kind Scalefour Society member( ie who can post on their forum) like to ask the following of Andrew Jukes to give some guidance to users of his track components: What are the timescales involved in moving the range away from Phil? Does he intend to sell BH rail? Does Phil currently have remaining stocks of parts? Are future sales likely to be just mail order? Thank you. I am glad Andrew will be ...
... track length etc and the effect the peg has are plain enough (after a while). Why some still appear in the plan is where we started. Some are round- well if that is just the peg ok. But why do I see it on some templates and not on others. I haven't seen it on other box files I have downloaded. Is there likely to be something wrong with the "connectedness" of my plan? Templot doesn't seem to care about having a connected graph for want of a better term. The square one....

Hi John, I have no plans to do that. It is a condition of use of Templot2 that you allow it to connect to the internet. It is for you to provide the means for that to happen. Users agree the terms of use when installing the program. See: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?terms_of_use.htm regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jul 2012 09:02 from: John Clutterbuck Hi Martin, I am well aware that it is a condition of Templot, however I can't help feeling this is all rather strange. This discussion has revealed that several checks are made to ascertain if Templot is the latest version. It follows that Templot must know the checks have failed. All this means is it cannot ascertain if ...
... mapping software that gives a 3D view and I reckon that your photo was taken from the road end at 910250 or very close by. I hope that may stir some recollection in the grey cells even after all that time. Hi Fraser, Thanks for that. On Geograph: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5734923 I put the camera position at SH 9115 2507 after Nigel steered me to the right area, so we are very close: 2_120259_240000000.png (Unfortunately that makes it a "cross-grid" in their terms, so it doesn't count.) It's fairly clear from the photo that I must have climbed up above the road, but it's not stirring any memories unfortunately. I have several memories of travelling the other mountain road from Bala in those days, but not this one. Your 3D mapping software looks very interesting, what is it? I have software which can do that with aerial views and Google maps, but I haven't seen it on the OS leisure maps before. cheers, Martin. posted: 12 Apr 2018 ...
... 40 /+ years ago have been though many owners since they were originally drawn, often by hand. You couldn't email a CAD file to China for valve gear etches to be made in those days. What is my point exactly? Not sure but if anyone does have any views on the future of small suppliers this is where to put it.... Rob Rob I think the supply of track parts for 4 and 7 mm scales which both you and Nigel are eluding to are safe for both the short to medium term. The currant owner of C&L who is also the distributor of Exactoscale is not only looking to supply these items long term but also if possible increase the range. In addition to this in the medium term 3 D printing will not only become even better quality, but prices will come down massively (as did home printing for computers). I discussed this matter briefly with the owner of Modelu at Stevenage, who chatted through his own thoughts briefly with me. With 3 D printing costs reducing, perhaps this ...

I'm unwilling to spend hours/days combing through the legislation, and it is proving impossible to find definitive information about how or if it will apply to a hobby forum such as Templot Club. I'm minded therefore, at least in the short term until the muddy waters have cleared a bit, to remove all member access to the membership list, and the individual Profile information which you may have entered. Which is a shame, but I'm wondering how much use anyone actually makes of it in practice? There is already a specific tickbox to make your email address accessible to other members and therefore allow them to send you emails*, so I will try to keep that function working (replacing the personal message functions which I removed some time ago because of different legislation ...
... rather than a perfect detailed drawing. It doesn't actually matter when you come to build track on the template if there are unbroken rails under the crossing, provided you can see where all the rails go. You can download the file for a fully-worked set of 3-way tandem turnouts from the Samples and examples area. Hold down the SHIFT key or put the CAPS LOCK on, then run the mouse pointer over the template name labels to see all the partial templates. By the way, you have used the term "switch" to mean an entire turnout (rather in the way that some UK modellers use the term "point" to mean an entire turnout). If you do that you are likely to get very confused in Templot, because in Templot a switch is the moving points section only: startup_pad.png Templot is about track, so it uses the terms used by permanent way engineers rather than the terms used by railway operating and signalling staff. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Jul 2008 22:55 from: pimin ...
... topic: 1458 Problems with 3way Tandem point posted: 17 Apr 2011 09:54 from: its_all_downhill Hi Temploters, I am having problems with a 3way Tandem point I am going to build in 2mmFS. I have followed Martin's video step by step and am confident up until the place where you rotate the K onto the background template no matter what I do I cannot get this to fit and cannot see where I am going wrong. I have to admit I have no clue when it comes to the prototype and alot of terms in Templot baffle me. I know I should know all these things and terms but I have managed to get this far blissfully ignorant. I would if someone could take a look and advise me where my problem arises and then I can complete this for my micro layout.

... topic: 2939 Translation of templot posted: 23 Nov 2016 22:06 from: Jerome FAGOT Hello everyone and martin I know templot for a few years but I have decided to use it recently. This is a great software but I find it quite complex learning, especially for me who do not speak English. Are translations planned and if not, is there any way we can modify the menus to translate the terms into our language? Templot is exactly what I needed to plan my future N-scale network, which should be quite complex and large. In addition I love the switches, it is for me a real passion and I could spend hours in front of a railway station grill to study the changes of multiple tracks. My difficulty lies mainly in the fact that I can link the paths between them, the procedures seem to me long and very complex. A thousand thanks to Martin for inventing and writing this software. See you soon FAGOT Jérôme (from France) PS: translated on internet posted: 30 Nov 2016 23 ...
... below sea level it isn't likely to be a problem. I presume hilly areas will just have a printed surface rather than being solid down to sea level? Hi Rob, I don't "do" anything yet. As you pointed out, I've had the printer for only a week. I'm planning that the fill under the hills will be the usual 10% or whatever 3D grid fill structure. Or with dual nozzles it could be a water-sol support, to be washed out and replaced with something more long-term solid (Polyfilla?). 50K terrain contours are available free from OS: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/products/terrain-50.html So 25K is probably the largest I can go without the result looking "steppy". I would like to go larger, but the much preferable 5K terrain data is a paid-for product. It would be great to go right up to the 25" maps, or at least the 6", (as on NLS) but it would ...

... topic: 2872 New to Templot- am I on the right lines? posted: 27 Apr 2016 21:06 from: RK Hello, I've put a couple of small O gauge layouts together in recent years, one using Peco track and points, the other using Peco track and Marcway ready-to-use point work. I'm now about to start on my big long term layout and have decided to take the plunge and have a go at hand-building all the scenic trackwork. Now this is something I've never done before, so I'm hoping somebody may be able to help and give me some guidance. I've used Templot to draw out the track plan and make sure everything works, I'm lucky in having a large area to use, fortunately. But before I start spending time on the detailed aspects and actual building, would anyone be prepared to look over the Templot file for me and check for any major mistakes I may have missed? Its things like: will signals fit between adjacent tracks, and whether coaches may catch on ...

Of course there is the possibility that Apple could encounter Intel's problems. Nigel They could perhaps, but the ARM cpus are designed in a very different way to the Intel x86 way. The Intel method currently uses a big die to pack everything on (conversely, AMD for Ryzen, use what is termed a chiplet approach, with effectively a modular design, which has made moving to 7nm and beyond much easier for them, and hence so much more competitive due to better yields etc on smaller die sizes, resulting in more chips per platter). Apple already has a lot of experience with designing their ARM cpus since the first A chip was put into an iDevice. They licence the base designs from ARM, and are then free to customise them however they please. Finding foundry capacity to make the chips is another matter ...
... 20 Dec 2007 02:24 from: Gordon S Hi Martin and fellow Templotters, still making good progress and finally cracked how to draw a double slip. Simple question however. When converting a turnout from say a B7 to a half diamond the various gaps and check rails all seem in place at the centre of the crossing. When I select a C10 turnout though and convert to a diamond crossing, the rails at the centre of the crossing are all together and no gaps exist. (Apologies for not knowing the technical terms for the various component parts of a crossing). Does this mean you cannot build a conventional double slip using a 1:10 crossing? Do you have to generate a completely different form of double slip? Last edited on 20 Dec 2007 02:25 by Gordon S posted: 20 Dec 2007 02:39 from: Paul Boyd Ah-ha- I had this the other day!

... topic: 3627 Delphi Community Edition posted: 9 Mar 2020 13:55 from: Martin Wynne A short while ago there was some mention here of using the free Delphi Community Edition instead of Lazarus for T3: topic 3324- message 27710 At that time I downloaded and installed a copy of the Delphi Community Edition, but I have made no further use of it. I have today received a very stroppy email from Embarcadero reminding me of the licence terms for the Delphi Community Edition. I don't know if that has been sent to all users or only to me, but it's noticeable that it comes just 24 hours after I was searching the Embarcadero web site for old Delphi docs, see: topic 3607- message 29183 I have now uninstalled the Delphi Community Edition from my system.

... topic: 321 Using Steel Rail- long term implications? posted: 22 Jan 2008 17:09 from: Brian Tulley Hi all, Whilst realising there are many "for" and "against" voters for Steel Rail I'm pretty much in the "for" category (hypothetically, because I've never actually tried it). However, I recently heard that a Mr. Norman Solomon wasn't so keen on Steel Rail, preferring Nickel Silver instead. Apparently this is because he has found past problems with soldered joints eventually failing. Bearing in mind that I am contemplating Ply& rivet construction (dinosaur I know) which does have several soldered joints here and there, I was wondering what experiences others have found with regard to long term reliability of soldered joints with steel rail? Fortunately the layout will be located in (what was) a bedroom, so corrosion etc. won't be too much of an issue I hope. Many thanks. Best Regards, Brian. posted: 22 Jan 2008 19:45 from: Bob Ellis Hi Brian, I ...
37. Catch points
... This is a set of catch* points at Castle Cary: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _02.jpg You can see the two-level baseplates under the rising turnout rail, and also the inner rail stops short of an extended check rail -- as in the GWR design which I posted earlier. The photographer obviously felt brave enough to go up on the footbridge! Notice some timber shoving in the foreground. Here's another pic of the same: Castle_Cary_catch_points_- _01.jpg *Templot is about track so we'll use the traditional p.w. term "catch points". Nowadays the S&T dept. and the rule book call these "trap" points -- trailing "catch" points are the ones used on gradients. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2008 14:38 from: rodney_hills Hello, Another 'catch point' photo just spotted on RMweb inter alia something else: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=5233 From this page: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f =7 ...

For example a user preference for colour printing is meaningless if the available printer is black and white only.

Clicking this prints the entire file using the default printer, or the printer I have allocated, the print tray, paper size and aspect and the print quality. 2. Print. Clicking this brings up a list of available printers. By selecting one I get the properties drop down, select what I want and print. What I had in mind for Templot, ...
... update it if necessary to make it compatible with future versions of Windows if I'm not able to do that. Assuming that is that anyone still wants to design and hand-build model railway track -- the hobby's demographic has changed a lot since I released the first public version of Templot 20 years ago. It's important to bear in mind that I'm an oily-fingered toolmaker, not an IT professional. I suspect that most Templot users are in the same boat. IT professionals tend to sprinkle their posts with abbreviations and terms that go over my head -- it's no good coming on here talking about GITs and YAMLs and VMs because hardly anyone here will know what it's all about, especially me. OpenTemplot was in a conventional collaborative code repository on Sourceforge. Adrian offered to help with the maintenance of that, but has not been seen here since. As instructed I installed programs called Tortoise and Mercurial on my system (I'm still not clear if I need only one or both or which), but there was nothing I could do with ...

I'm working in 00-SF, so I'll mainly be using RTR stock. I was wondering what "vertical radius" (if that is the right term) I should be looking at to transition track from level into an incline, that will not cause problems to most RTR stock. Or to put it another way, over what length should I transition from level to about 1 in 30. Any thoughts from the wise?
