... to spam. Like you I get dozens of those every day and delete them instantly. These were emails which required a reply, and which I had put in my pending folder over a period of recent weeks. Just to repeat. I don't want emails which require a reply. I don't want telephone calls. I don't want to be sent any letters, drawings, books, tools or bits of track. I don't want any one-to-one contact with Templot users whatsoever. It is part of the Templot terms of use for the software and if it is not respected I shall close Templot down. I know it sounds unfriendly and I don't mean to be but it is the only way I can cope. This Templot Club forum (and other forums) surely provide sufficient support for the software.

... which they could share with others, or upload somewhere else, such as on one of the other model railway forums. If you let Templot update itself, the latest installer file templot_223b_setup.exe is in your C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\internal\upd\ folder. If you updated manually, that file will be somewhere else on your system in your browser downloads. (I can't put it on SourceForge because that hosting is restricted to open-source files.) The same applies to any future program updates. I will modify the terms of use to make clear that sharing the installer file is permitted, provided it is not for financial gain. 3. having the code available for others to modify in the event that the bus has done its worst, and the code will no longer install or run on later versions of Windows.

You can then select the one which you want. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Aug 2015 15:03 from: DerekStuart Hello Martin Thanks for the reply. I understand now. I'm sorry it must be so irritating for people to ask the same questions again- I did try searching, but I think my terms were not right. BTW although still a Templot beginner, I think I am generally getting the hang of it all now and am so glad that I persevered with it. Thanks again for your help.

124. Scaling from maps
... copyright position with using small parts of modern OS maps to illustrate forum postings and such like? Hi Rob, I wish I knew. The OS are very strict about their licensing and copyright on current maps. They tend to be less concerned if you derive something else from it, by pasting some form of markup over the top such as in my example, and it is not for commercial use. "Fair dealing" allows you to use small extracts non-commercially for private research and published review, but the precise terms would be argued on a case by case basis. I should probably delete that image to be on the safe side. OS OpenData maps can be freely used for any purpose, but they tend not to be much help in track planning, see: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/products/opendata.html OS maps over 50 years old since publication are out of copyright, but if someone such as the NLS scans them, they create their own copyright in the scan itself and what use can ...
... learn here). I suspect that it is using UTF-8 on Linux too, but I don't actually know for certain. To conclude my overly long posting: as time allows I'm planning keep pootling along with my experimentation. Don't expect too much activity, but I will try to post here if I learn anything useful and/or make progress. However, as I'm just about to order some wagon kits, underframes, and other modelling components- I expect I'll be rather distracted from my coding adventures in the short term future. But at some point I will want to plan a layout and build some track for it, at which point having Templot working on Linux would probably quite useful. posted: 14 May 2020 12:10 from: Graeme Andrew Hunt wrote: For PDF exports, I'm hoping Graeme's work will help- and I'm looking forward to seeing it Hmmmmm- did I say "a day or two"???

... but on the diverging road after 6ft (I say that roughly as I don't have Templot on the work pc to check) there is the toe of the half-visible turnout and thus not enough space on that side. So a conventional catch point on one side and the one built into the turnout for the other road. Yes, there is another signal- although I don't have pictures of it, it is there on the diagram and- oddly- it is drawn as a quadrant flag (I believe that's the term)- a helpful chap on RMW showed me a picture of one leaving a yard and it was a low height and he tells me it was not unusual; I am assuming there's a very good reason not to use a ground dolly.

One from Data1systems in Ohio which is where Templot is hosted and another via the Yahoo Groups service( which I could have my mailer filter out I guess). The messages from the Templot server are always quick to arrive, usually within 10 seconds. The Yahoo ones are 95% the same in terms of timing but the odd few can take anything from an hour to a whole day. Rob posted: 21 Feb 2020 21:57 from: Paul Boyd The only two emails I had were my original one, which arrived immediately, and those from Nigel Brown and Rob Manchester which also arrived very quickly. It is only some Templot emails that are affected so it's presumably not an issue with my mail client (iCloud) unless it's an intermittent one. The two I had came from data1systems, but obviously I can't ...

You can also differentiate the levels by means of different marker colours: 2_210001_540000000.png Also in diagram mode templates set to centre-lines only are not shown, so you could that way do something like this: 2_210010_040000000.png cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Feb 2020 11:07 from: Mike Kynaston Martin, Thanks for those two replies. The dummy vehicle was the option that my friend had mentioned, so he found that response useful as well, having lost it in the menus! I assumed that everything remained flat, in terms of levels, but I will probably take your advice on the centre line approach when printing templates off, just to aid the readability. Could you point me in the right direction re number 5 please? Using shift and snap works, but it's frustrating always having to click the button rather than just hitting the F key, so I assume there is another way of aligning adjacent track items?

... topic: 3613 comments please on my new OO "final" layout posted: 16 Feb 2020 22:20 from: ikcdab All, so here we are. I remember reading many years ago of someone building layout called something like "my last great layout" and I marveled at the time about the finality. But now I find myself doing the same thing. I am to build a new shed, 7.5m x 4.5m in our garden. In this will build my best OO layout yet. In simple terms it is a double track oval with two branches, one double track to a reasonable sized station, the other single track to a simpler one. It will be based on BR(S) practice in the 1960s ..ish. I am not a novice and have been building railway models for many years. In the last few years I have built two end-to-end terminus to fiddle yard layouts. Both used templot and the track was built with SMP for plain line and copper clad soldered bullhead pointwork. I am very ...
... topic: 3365 Problem interpreting mixed gauge track plan posted: 11 Dec 2018 11:00 from: Andrew Smith Dear all I feel a bit of fraud posting here as I have struggled but failed to come to terms with templot for years. I require help in understanding some prototype track issues but the final plan may well end up being drawn with a bendy stick and fixed curves. The Model- Having used traditional methods to create a 2mm model of the mixed gauge (broad and standard) Vale of Neath Railway station at Neath I now want to capitalise on the 1:500 town plan to recreate Aberdare station at near scale scale size. N.B Luckily the track was cross-sleepered so less of a problem than baulk road and none of the standard gauge track changes sides through any of the turnouts. That takes a bit of pressure off... The problem- The layout is governed by four, 3 way turnouts. Of the 4 three are mixed gauge. The town plan includes all rail lines in both gauges (more on ...
... is part of a trackplan and not need to do any further work on that template (apart from the usual timber-shoving stuff). My own preference for that dialogue box would be for the default action to be add to existing group but as the dialogue box is already established I guess it shouldn't change now. I've never actually used the option of grouping by tag from the main menu- I need to have a refresh of what's in all those menus! I think that these days "slower" is a relative term, if diamonds will be more accurate, then slightly slower is fine. Mind you, last night I was printing off a background with picture shapes and that took for ever- fortunately not something I do often and even then only to confirm the basic shape before ploughing ahead!

With the autumn colours soon here I will go back and have another go -- this time with the gate open.

134. Bending jig designs
... almost certainly have to adjust by hand afterwards to get the angle exactly right. posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:04 from: DerekStuart Hello Julian. I am quite familiar with your work and although I think we started off about the same time making turnouts, your progress has been far greater than mine. It's not the end of the World making this by jig, but I have found if using (L )NER practices- which has a far more gentle knuckle curve- errors are harder to avoid, both in terms of looks and running. Hello Ariels Girdle, yes you make a good point. However, I think an adjustable jig that can accommodate an infinite amount of curve options should also be able to deal with rail differences. I did wonder about its springiness though. It's easy to bend a rail to X curve, but if it is then going to spring back out to XX curve, it may be necessary to bend it to 1/2X etc. I shall experiment next week... and assuming Accident and ...
... yard- this would reduce the track congestion on the up main (PL153-TL139-TR113-etc.) posted: 13 Nov 2018 15:06 from: John Palmer William Williamson wrote:... the issue was if TR173 (and the turnout below it- label blocked in my screenshot and I don't have templot at work unforutnately) were both set to the curved routes then stock could potentially physically hit each other. PL184 is the carriage road. Ah, well in that case I would definitely think in terms of lengthening the leads on TL186 and TR260 so as to reduce the end throw on vehicles passing over these connections, as I would expect that to ameliorate or even eliminate such a conflict. This may involve the toe of TL186 becoming repositioned adjacent to a platform face, which in turn could have implications for the signalling/locking of facing movements over these points. posted: 13 Nov 2018 15:28 from: Rob Manchester William's original RM post is here for anybody interested.

... possible to replace two of the turnouts with a single slip (you could have a double slip but one side would never be used) to add a degree of compression to the plan, but it changes some of the curvature slightly. Edit: rough sketch added.

In general terms, CJF tended to use Peco track as the basis, with 2' radius points the minimum unless otherwise stated. The introduction to the 1989 book confirms this. Also, each plan has a minimum radius specified which for S54 is 2'. Looking at S54, there's a double slip which would be 3' radius, and possibly the turnouts attached to that. The others might be 2' radius. The bit to the right of the diamond crossing near the top looks a bit cramped to me though. Not ...
... for the shaft of the spike. Timber that moves a lot with heat and moisture is not good either. If you are fixing with spikes stable timber is a must. Gluing the rail to the timber is standard but you will have to research what glue will give the best result. Remember you are not using a chair or plate so the contact surface area is smaller. And there is less give for movement as well. A spike will give a mechanical safety net. The S7 group is pushing walnut sleepers from long term experience with their use. I understand your worry about point work. I'm about to go through this myself. What has been happening here is people have been building 7mm point work the way they do in HO and it looks dreadful. Or they have bought comercial point work that looks nothing like NSWGR. Working in S7 I have had to do research into what was done at the time of the layout and before. It also helps when using Templot to understand track formations. And jigs are the way to a successful ...

Have been researching NSWGR PW for two years now so can understand some of the issues that the author has had to deal with in research terms.

It should be possible to get something not dissimilar to that to work. The two switch sets are a bit too close together at the moment which will prevent the switch blades of the second set from opening fully. What you have is properly called a Tandem Turnout as it is effectively two Turnouts in Tandem. The term 3 way is rather vague as it includes 3 throw Turnouts where the switch pairs overlap. They are best avoided if possible as they are tricky to build and can prove unreliable due to gauging problems when set for the middle road. I will have a go at it over the weekend. Regards Tony. posted: 14 Feb 2015 09:49 from: Simon R Hi Tony, I was looking at tandem turnouts on the forum and found this (message 17941). It almost exactly represents what I think I need ...
140. LNWR track drawings.
... those who cannot access this sort of information any other way. It becomes more of a moral question than a legal one. It is a complicated issue that needs addressing in a way that doesn't only empower multinationals to choke supply for profit. I have been involved in a project find and catalogue surviving drawings of the New South Wales Government Railway. As part of that we are making lower grade copies of original NSWGR drawings available to researchers, modellers and historians through the Australian Railway History Society (NSW division). In monetary terms I won't see my time or expenses back for the last three years. But a growing number of us involved want to move the research on and stop people having to crawl through disparate collections, (if they know of these collections existence), basically re-inventing the wheel before they can get anything done. Getting the balance between access to public information and income for preservation of that information is one that sovereign governments will have to address more clearly in the digital age. As they haven't got the current copyright laws ...
