Building Yeovil Pen Mill in EM.

[Tony W]

Hello
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that after a number of years, of not having done anything in Templot (such as altering the track plan or print from it) I find I can do neither!


2. When I attempted to create a crossover it came up with a box referring to track spacing, which I just didn't understand....


Andrew

Hi Andrew.
I had a similar problem with the track spacing window, see this post, which may help you to understand what is going on.

You will need to scroll up a bit to see the relevant posts.

Hi Andrew,

I have printed the layout, It looks as though it has printed everything that was showing on the trackpad. I added a trailing crossover where I think you wanted, if it's incorrect I can change it. I have attached a scan of the print, the baseboard edges are very feint, but can be seen if you blow the image up.

Thanks very much Phil. I'll have a look tomorrow when I'll have a PC and an A3 printer with which to try it out.
Kind regards
Andrew

Hello Phil
The baseboard edges that I needed printed off, have worked finer today...So thank you very much indeed!

Another embarrassing question. How do I hide the template file names....for the life of me I cant recall how I did it countless times in the past.
Kind regards

I will try and get this one right

Top task bar click track pad

4 sections down hide labels

How is the layout coming along?

Thanks very much John...sorted!

The layout is making a bit of progress. I'm sorting out the "Plug-in Scenery" around the far end of the layout where the line goes south out of Yeovil towards Weymouth. This is necessary to be able to then build the scenery on the run down to the tunnel. I hope all will be obvious over the next few weeks.....

Keep your fingers crossed!

Phil
Thank you for the crossing you installed, and yes it was in the right place.
Kind regards to you both.

Andrew,

Great to hear that progress is being made.

A step in the right direction. The base of the "plug-in Scenery"boards around the curved end of the layout (the main line coming south out of Yeovil, heading towards Weymouth) with the river and the leat "roughed" in place with the two blue boards indicating their approximate positions.

Hi Andrew,
For your many viewers information here is a sketch of the lines around Yeovil.

Courtesy of Yeovil's Virtual Museum that has much to interest the historian of the area.

The very useful NLS 'mapping' site seems to be running very slowly today for some reason otherwise I would have inserted a map image showing the river and leat( AKA Mill stream ) you mention.

Good to see you having some quality time on the layout.

Hello Rob
Thank you, very thoughtful of you, and no doubt will help everyone, when I refer to " the line going south towards Weymouth". In fact thinking along the same lines, here is Iain's original drawing for the layout, which, by and large, we have stuck to.

Better get off to work now!
Kind regards
Andrew
