TEMPLOT is Martin's hobby project. Everyone is welcome to use it and join in the ongoing developments. Thanks for visiting Templot Club.

The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.
For an updated overview of this project see this topic. For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.
The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.
Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne. -

As always a gentleman and thank you. I do believe that GWR track was 19 sleepers to a 45 foot length on branches but 20 or 21 on the Main Line.
Cheers

Hi Bob,
Here you go:
Note that Templot's 45ft setting is a generic pre-group setting, not specifically GWR.
If you want the prototype GWR sleeper spacings you need to click one of the custom slots in the list, and then click the custom settings... button to enter the data.
Stuart Hince has written a tutorial on setting up custom rail lengths and sleeper spacings in Templot. It's specifically for the GWR, see:
https://85a.uk/templot/martweb/pdf_files/gwr_track_panels.pdf
After that it would be worth saving a library template containing some GWR plain track so that it's easy to use settings in future.
cheers,
Martin.
