A short video for beginners.

Showing how to create a simple run-round loop using Templot methods:

This video replaces a much older one. Nothing much has changed in the working of Templot, but the later buttons and menu items have changed the trackpad appearance quite a lot.

It's been necessary to make this video because I have had to enforce my copyright on Templot screenshots and derived material for the first time for many years. Which has upset me considerably, and distracted me from getting on with the plug track.

To keep the video short and simple for beginners I have omitted any mention of curviform V-crossings, which would improve the alignments in the sidings. More about that and types of V-crossings in this video:

Nor anything about using the ruler, spacing-ring, dummy vehicle, or other methods to set or measure the exact capacity of the run-round.

More about turnouts and return curves for a running loop in this recent post:
