Hello Martin, Before I ask the Templot question an administrative one. As I move through the Templot Companion etc. I write myself questions about things that are not clear to me. Most are answered as I progress through the notes and some are answered by searches. So far none appear to be very complex. I notice that you still appear to be carrying the load on your own so, would you prefer me to feed in the questions one at a time or store them up and send down a few at a time in one message. I know your first reaction is don't send any. Now for the Templot question. I experimented with the printer calibration, which came up spot on, and printed the B6 Turnout as a N for UK only . Visually it appears clear to me that it has been printed as a fine scale turnout. My assumption is that I will have to make minor adjustments to the track and Guard/Check rail positioning during construction to take care of the fact that I am using code 80 track and to allow for the coarser wheels on my old rolling stock and that there is no adjustment which can be made in Templot prior to printing. Am I correct? There is no urgency for an answer. Take care, ken |

Please ask whatever you want as often as you want. That's what this forum is here for. It is better to start a fresh topic for each question, if possible. That way it can have a meaningful subject line which will make it much easier for others to find in future. regards, Martin. |

Templot can be set for any gauge, any scale, any flangeway gap. The list of gauges is simply some common pre-set sizes for your convenience. For UK N Gauge the flangeway gap is pre-set to 0.85mm -- see: 2_041749_480000000.png  If you want different dimensions, click one of the set custom... buttons to create your own settings. Alternatively: In 091c click the template > gauge and scale > modify current settings > modify flangeway gap... menu item to make some trial changes. In 074b click the geometry > flangeway gap... menu item to make some trial changes. regards, Martin. |
