Without anyone noticing, we had a 10th birthday last week.  The Templot email group, forerunner of Templot Club, was founded on 1st September 2000. The group still contains a full archive of all 15,936 messages posted between then and now: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/messages/ In that time we have also gained 870 members. So thanks to everyone for making Templot Club what it is. We are not the biggest or most active model railway forum on the web, but we are one of the longest established. And as far as I can remember, in all that time not a single cross word. Thanks again to all, Martin. |

Blimey - and I seem to have been here for most of that time - where's it all gone? It is refreshing to be a member of a group that doesn't get all hot and bothered. Well, most of the time, anyway  |

I wish to sincerely endorse the remarks of John and congratulate you, Martin, on the prodigious work you have and continue tirelessly to put in to everybody's knowledge of prototype trackwork and Templot's way of realising it in our modelling. Quality in purpose has never been an inevitable attribute of size so being big or small is completely irrelevent. Templot works and it works well although I wish we could all find a way to get over this frustrating problem of always relying on your hand to lead us out of our blunderings time after time, which prolongs the realisation of solutions to outstanding track assembly design software and wastes time,increasing insecurity and uncertainty all round. That is obviously our problem. Congratulations again, Martin. A well wisher, Donald |

Can I endorse the congratulations to Martin and to all the other contributors from whom I've learnt an enormous amount during the past seven years as a member here (yes, it shook me when I worked it out!). Not just about Templot, but about real trackwork, operation, computers...... etc, etc. Many thanks to all. Allan F |

Hello Martin and congratulations, This, without a doubt, is my favourite forum ever. There have, to my knowledge, not been any of the acrimonious "set tos" which seem to infest most of the other technical forums I have come across. Every one here seems to be able to respect the other's point of view without necessarily agreeing with it. I have learned a lot from the discussions that have appeared. That said. I think Martin has a lot to be proud of with his development of Templot and his willingness to step in and help at the drop of a hat is certainly beyond any of my previous experience of any programme or system I have used. His knowledge of Templot, with all of its complexities, is uncanny. Not only Martin is to be complimented, I have found that the membership is always willing to step in and advise or help a bewildered beginner. In total a very pleasant and informative CLUB which I feel comfortable with and is a source of great enjoyment to me. Best wishes to Martin and all the members. Ken |

Wow, 10 years ! What have I been doing all those intervening years ? My first post was Jan 2002 (lancs63), Creed St never got built although the plans and printouts still exist, I've moved house twice, not built a model railway for myself, left the modelling scene altogether, recently returned to it, and am now going to plan a re-design of a current O gauge garden railway. Anyway, to echo others' sentiments, thank you Martin for all the hard work you put in to keep this product at the forefront of design, to enable we modellers to produce even more realistic trackwork. Here's to the next 10 years. Regards Ian |
