Is the technology capable of printing rails with 1:20 inclination, or would it be restricted to vertical? Hi Noel, Yes, it's possible. In fact Templot can already print templates with inclined rail, showing the foot of the rail offset a fraction from the head. Whether it is worth doing is a separate ...

... as yet, done much about it. Your thoughts re printed track are also inspirational - why am I surprised at the suggestion from the originator of Templot! Much food for thought Jim P

... but rarely mention the obvious follow-on -- the rails don't need to be metallic . I'm currently working on creating 3D printing files direct from Templot, to allow complex track formations to be 3D printed ready-to-lay -- timbers, chairs and rails all 3D printed. No trackbuilding skills needed, ...

Hi Nberrington. I had the opposite problem. My Templot had two blades but in reality they were singles. As I'm doing a S&D layout the track would have been done/ maintained by the LSWR/ SR so yours would be the same {ish, possibly?}. Have you ...

... Berrington again - digging up old topics. So - I am at the stage of planning the trap point at the headshunt of my model based on Swanage. The Templot plan I have, shows a single tongue trap point, and I am set to make one. However I am having second thoughts: 1.) Looking at Martin Finney's ...

Hi Nick, I don't claim to be anything but a beginner on this, but I bonded my templot prints to a cork sub-base using neat waterproof quality PVA. I found that by using a thin coat and using it neat there was next to no movement of the paper and no cockling of ...

Here's the Templot stuff for Crosby Bridge. What would we do without Templot, I wonder ;) Please refer to my previous post for a detailed explanation of the various features. crosby_bridge_ulr_1.jpg crosby_bridge_ulr_2.jpg The ...

I suppose what you'll be doing is basically the same as rail already strung onto loose sleepers. I laid mine onto a Templot printout, thus ensuring correct angle and distance apart.

... an electronically controlled 6 road traverser plus loco storage and run-round facility that should make operating this end a lot easier. Here's a templot output plan for the traverser which will show the idea: csm_traverser.jpg As ever with Cadhay this is an experiment so it may not work (first ...

... a slight curve in it will hardly notice. Hi Martin A couple of pictures here to show the 1 in 5 crossing of the first turnout I made in June using Templot. (It's for a fiddleyard so nothing pukka in appearance.) On the first it is clear that the bend made by pliers is more abrupt than the Templot ...

... Natalie have been busy doing research on the Harton and track planning. We've come up with a potentially viable track plan following efforts in Templot and using boards and templates over them. Below is the Templot Sketchboard output. Colours are as follows. Green is the Viaduct to provide the ...

Thanks Martin for clearing up another myth I mistakenly held. Again I hope this is not to deflect the thread too far. The print out of a turnout on Templot has three lines at the knuckle as well as a cross showing the Fine Point. Would I be right to surmise these are the middle and ends of the curve ...

... won't be a perfect fit because of the way the vee splice is machined and bolted up. To create curved turnout templates, use the F6 mouse action in Templot. cheers, Martin.

... for 4 months, I've ordered enough components to complete phase 1 of the track work which will be the main Consett Up and Down lines as per the Templot screenshot below. This consists of five turnouts, a diamond and a single slip. The plan is to get this trackwork all laid, wired and working ...

... What's more that map is geo-referenced and available at global zoom level up to 18. Which means that Templot (also FREE) can make the screenshot for you, and automatically scale the map to the correct size for P4 to act as a background image to your ...

Just checking Tim whether you know about layout planning functions in Templot? You can download maps and design your layout around them. (If I understand correctly. )

... centre or right at the top, they give various options for routes through the formation, equivalent to a double slip. I messed around a bit in Templot and came up with a location for one on Ulpha. The plan is to build one off the layout and thoroughly test it.I shall use it on Ulpha. If I can ...

... to make up some very low numbered crossings, in the order of 1 in 1.5 etc., associated with diamond crossings. Despite multiple measuring of the Templot, confirmatory arithmetic and repeated double checks on the rail in my soldering jig, I am finding that once soldered the vee has reduced its ...

... Home signal and reveals whether it was rail-built or a lattice mast! A feature to note is that when you are building 19 West points (TR5306 on the Templot drawing) you'll need to extend the check rail towards the switch, and may wish to adjust your Templot drawing accordingly. As to the query about ...
