Hi Peter,

Templot can't show chairing detail -- unless you draw it manually using the background shapes, or on the sketchboard.

Even if Templot had a mechanism to show chairs, the multiplicity of prototype designs at different periods, and the different chairing practice of the different companies, would turn the whole thing into a minefield.

If you don't have your own prototype drawings, the best option is to use a commercial template as a chairing guide during construction. The excellent Exactoscale templates can be viewed online, see:

regards,

Martin.

Thanks Martin. I shall check these out.

Just a thought though - It might be useful to identify the generic type of chair fitted under the rail at each sleeper. This would provide direct guidance within Templot for people such as I not copying a prototype design.

Hi Peter

Surely Templot already does that - look at the timber numbering - the letters are the clue.

Regards.
