Hi, I need to create a template for a 45 foot length of GWR bull-head track with the correct sleeper spacings at each end. For some reason I don't seem to be able to achieve this - is there a way to do it? Thanks |

For some reason I don't seem to be able to achieve this - is there a way to do it?Hi, Stuart Hince has written a tutorial on setting up custom rail lengths and sleeper spacings in Templot. It's specifically for the GWR: http://templot.com/martweb/pdf_files/gwr_track_panels.pdf cheers, Martin. |

Rounding to 2 decimal places is just to make it easier to read. If you want it to display the full dimension, tick the show full fraction tickbox at the bottom left: 2_240749_350000000.png In practice of course there would be no detectable difference on the printed template between 25.875" and 25.88" - that's a difference of 5 thou in the position of the full-size prototype timber! to terminate the list of spacing the instructions say to enter a 0 - I do but it continues to ask for sleeper 19/20/21 etc, I can't seem to terminate the list at 18 sleepersJust keep entering 0 down to the bottom of the dialog, as above. Since Stuart wrote his tutorial I changed the program to avoid excessive computer cpu usage on this dialog. One consequence of that is that it won't now terminate in mid-dialog. It's on my to-do list to have another look at, but there's no practical difficulty as above. cheers, Martin. |
