... sets in code 83 Micro Engineering stock rails inc delivery. His name is Andreas Jodie but insists on being called Jodie. I tried explaining to him that is rude in our view but that didn't make any difference. I gave him a $40 USD tip of which he only accepted $20 USD. Here are some pictures. Electrically only the frogs are isolated, I have not ran a train over them but with the multimeter it sure works well. He used double sided PC board, that would be how he got the polarity transferred to the crossings and wherever PCB's are not required; he used laser cut timber for the ties. The running characteristics of stock coaches is superb. The rest of the simple points I will be making myself and will use templot for the templates. I know sharing these images is kind of risky on this site! However this is worth knowing.

... only remember perhaps once or twice in 25 years that a USB controller failed. The most common problem was mechanical failure of just one port. Incidently, what is the length of USB cable that you are using? 3 metres is the maximum allowed, even though I have seen longer ones sold, they are not guaranteed to work unless they have a small bit of electronics in one end to boost the signal. Fitting the console might be an idea to temporarily get you going, so that you could use an sdcard to transfer the files. A bit of a pain doing that though, I found. You could purchase a separate USB card, which costs anything between 10- 30 pounds and probably the same in dollars. I hope you have a resolution soon, Andy.

But NOT, please NOT, in the Windows C:\Program Files\ folders. There is a note about this at: http://templot.com/downloads/download_previous.htm If that is not what you did, apologies. In which case I need to investigate further. Which version of Windows are you using?

... or similar to use Templot ..There are nearly always alternative options available for Linux users to make use of software for windows programs. If you could provide a way for members to do links to the Templot Companion we could all make them which would surely fill the empty spaces.However if you felt that would mess Companion up perhaps being able to do the same on a separate wiki as suggested previously could provide a way forward. If satisfactory it could eventually become the Templot Companion. Or alternately run them in tandem where you could delete or transfer as and when suitable from wiki to the Companion.

Could you please pass me this info or the book details in which you found it please. I have to redraw Killybegs, which Wally Watson (late of this parish) was starting to build before his untimely death and his original Templot drawings were lost when his computer died and he did not transfer it to his new one. P& DMRC are intending to finish the project off as a fitting memorial to a long standing member& officer. Otherwise does anyone have any generic info I could use. Thanks Phil posted: 20 Jan 2015 16:04 from: Trevor Walling Hello, If the hard drive in his old computer is still working it would be possible to recover data off it using a Linux live cd quite easily if access to it is possible. trustytrev. posted: 20 Jan 2015 18:58 ...
... problem posted: 25 Feb 2017 15:12 from: David Long I have just tried to load the latest Templot upgrade but my antivirus (Avast) has spotted something it doesn't like. It appeared to be blocking it and my desktop short cut has disappeared but all my files are still visible on my hard drive. I could possibly turn off my antivirus temporarily but without the short cut I can't get into Templot even though it is still in my hard drive. Any advice would be appreciated. In the meantime I have transferred my box files to a memory stick so that they won't be lost. I still have to try to get the upgrade onto my laptop and am anticipating the same problem.

... ordinary switch, switch anchors do the job of keeping the moving point rails aligned with the stock rails. Because of the much steeper switch angles in a switch-diamond, such anchors would not be feasible. regards, Martin. There are strengthened switch diamonds that have a short sections of extra rail between the switch and stock rails which act much like switch anchors/heel blocks. The extra rails are attached to the switch rails at their fixed end and to the stock rails near to the toes of the switches, so transferring stress from one to the other and limiting the length of switch that can expand and contract as the temperature changes. Thermal movement being one of the more common causes of trouble with switch diamonds, and is why they are the most likely track item to get painted white.

... be taken when moving the trackwork to the railway layout. This led me try and build the track in situ to avoid having to move it. I used foam backed wallpaper as an underlay. I found that this did not provide and absolutely flat surface and any pressure being applied distorted the surface (e.g. when trimming chairs). Things improved after I used the proper adhesive to secure the wallpaper. I am now starting again on the Northern approach but this time I shall assemble the track work on my work bench and transfer it to the layout. I am using balsa cement to secure the sleepers to the template and a firm base to secure the templates.I have spent today getting the North Station approach prepared by carrying out the 'shove timbers' function in Templot. I have attached the file to this post.Could I please have any comments on my efforts at timber shoving and any other comments you might have.One of the most difficult areas I have had to tackle are the check rails. The 1mm flangeway check rail chairs are still not available which surprises me ...

Sorry if something like this already exists and I've failed to find it! Hi Keith, There are two ways to see the template information without transferring it into the control template. Both require some additional clicking, I will see if I can find something faster for the next program update. 1. 2_311409_540000001.png If you click on a background template, clicking the top item on its menu, or pressing I (letter i) on the keyboard, will show the information for it.

... have to be very careful when laying it because moving it if you get it wrong is difficult. In practice, neither of these is too much of a problem if care is used. But this stuff sounds as though it could make life easier. Nigel posted: 23 Oct 2017 00:58 from: Rob Manchester Nigel, Sounds like you need to splash out on a roll. My plan from now on is to use this tape to build chunks of track at the workbench and then remove it from the template and transfer to the layout. Copydex or similar would then be used to fix it down. I was also thinking that you could use this tape to make the common crossings first using the upside down method on a reversed template with n/s or brass strips to keep the alignment. Maybe I will try that too soon. Rob Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... closed down in favour of a Facebook group, archiving of information probab;ly being the last thing they ever considered. Jim. posted: 15 Mar 2020 22:02 from: DerekStuart Hello Jim TBH I really don't like facebook at all. I find it slow, full of rubbish and arguments. But it has a few hidden gems- this being one of them. I would *never* encourage anyone to close a forum in favour of facebook. You OWN the data on your forum and can always download or transfer it; with social media you are always at their mercy. Archives are a perfect example, yes. I run a FB and Twit page at work. I am seriously considering getting rid of them and replacing them with a (non-registration) forum on the website.

... tinkering with the above plan over the last day or so and have got the basics laid out, it's a case of a bit of timber shoving and a few re-alignments. I'll post a box file of it on here later to show you the rough copy. Most of it has been done using the "make mirror on peg" function, "adjust to length", "curve" and "size" for turnouts. In my case the original Frank Dyer plan(drawn in about 1978) would not transfer directly to templot as Frank used "train set" geometry for the pointwork and some would end up very short radius points. I think when I built the layout in 1979/1980 I used Kings Cross templates using 2' and 3' points to BRMSB standards. Frank used what is now 00sf for the branch line track and you know what, everything ran on it except Lima pizza cutter wheels!

It no longer exists, and disappears from the screen. to the control means that before wiping or deleting a template, its specification is transferred to the current settings for the control template.

... to this page with the system requirements (scroll down to Q2): http://templot.com/companion/for_you.php Yes Templot knows where it is running. In the case of running under CrossOver/Wine it does show some warnings and hint messages. On Windows it should be able to run almost anywhere on any version, providing users know what they are doing. It no longer requires an internet connection on start-up, so if older systems are not connected it doesn't matter. The most important thing is don't transfer files via a CD-ROM. Windows in its wisdom sets all files to read-only if you do that. Use a USB stick instead. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Sep 2020 18:44 from: Trevor Walling Hello Martin, I think a lot of issues with windows these days are due to Microsoft trying to retain control of how their operating system is used.

... it the mac/windows/crossover interface not working? posted: 8 Sep 2020 00:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roy, I'm sorry, I know nothing about Macs, someone else will have to jump in here. You should be able to right-click on the link, and then save the file, like this: 2_071916_210000000.png Then navigate to a location which will be visible from Templot in CrossOver, and save the file. In my experience with CrossOver on Linux, far and away the easiest way to transfer files to and fro is to save them on a USB stick or other external drive. External drives are easily visible from all operating systems. Although it is a text-based file, don't rename it. Templot won't be able to load it if you change the BGS3 extension. If all else fails, send me your street address by email. I will put a USB stick in the post with the file on it. It's just easier than trying to explain in a sea of fog. (The file is ...

Rob The likeliest reason surely is where you have a narrow gauge line coming down to the standard gauge transfer sidings for example. I have numerous would-be schemes that I have worked on where the storage box has templates in both standard 0-gauge and 0:16.5 narrow gauge. Same scale of course but very differing rail/timber characteristics. Stuart Ignore this- just re-read Martin's last post and I realise that it is only the scale that is relevant to this particular issue....

... track. Looking at the drawing I have in front of me the aspect ratio is probably 3:2. The dimensions were off the top of my head, so probably 600 x 400. In terms of jagged edges, I was looking at an enlarged .png print on my screen which is set at 1920 x 1080 resolution. I'm not a computer/graphics expert, so there may be a better file type to export. Here's a pic from my screen showing what I meant. 479_130823_550000000.jpg The problem I have is mentally transferring a straight line schematic as per block diagrams, into the curved layout of my own track work. Remember it is spread over three sides and some of the turnouts may be 10' away from the control point and I have no chance of seeing if I have operated the correct one, even if they do show on the ECoS plan. To give you an idea of what I'm looking at on the ECoS, this is one end... 479_130840_220000000.jpg To overcome this, I will use a large mimic panel as ...
... Presumably your Linux version is doing the same? Early versions of Delphi used the Intel 80-bit extended type as the default float type (maybe they still do?), so I followed suit in Templot. Including in binary files. That caused a major headache for getting Templot going in Lazarus, which treats extended as a 64-bit cross-platform double, breaking Templot's binary files in the process. It's only recently that I got round this by introducing the text and XML-based MECBOX and BGS3 files for transfer between Templot2 and Templot3. Keep up the good work Andrew. If there is anything I can do to help here or on SourceForge let me know.

... We seem to be getting two different things muddled up. This is what I do and could possibly help with: 1. I take my GPS device (Satmap Active 20) out with me. At some stage I switch it to start tracking, and it records my movements until I switch tracking off. With or without tracking on, it shows me where I am on the map, and it shows the track I made as a string of red dots on the map. 2. when I get home, I transfer the tracking record, as a GPX file, from the Satmap to my computer. 3. on the computer, I use the data in the GPX to plot my route on a map. I can do that manually, or use my own program, or use other software to import the GPX and display the track on a map. (I can also use the time records in the GPX to correlate with the time recorded for my photographs, and get the geographical location for each photo.) What you seem ...
