Is there an easy way to set up Templot to create templates for Irish narrow gauge (3ft) in Scaleseven? You already have a setting for Irish broad gauge in S7; is there any way of generating templates for mixed gauge track (5' 3" and 3' 0")? yours hopefully Stephen |

The standard list of gauges is purely a collection of pre-set sizes for convenience. It doesn't contain any pre-set narrow-gauge sizes because of the wide variety of prototypes and scales used for n.g. modelling. For narrow-gauge it is necessary to customize your own templates to your requirements. There is a Templot video showing how to customize templates for narrow-gauge at: customizing narrow-gauge Whether it's easy or not I can't judge  -- you do need to know (or invent) some prototype details. See for example my previous reply today: Gn15 template Mixed-gauge templates can be created in the same way as any complex formation, using overlaid partial templates. It's not difficult, but you need a bit of experience with Templot first. Here for example is a mixed-gauge curved crossover in P4 (without side-swap): gwr_mixed_night.png  The box file for it is attached below (for Templot version 078e and later). This is what it looks like printed out (at 85%): gwr_mixed_print_a1.png  gwr_mixed_print_a2.png  regards, Martin. |
