Andrew P Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 All the track info has as I have said sadly come too late for me but its very interesting and has answered several of my niggling problems for which I am eternally grateful. One thing I still don't know is what OO-SF & OO-BF stands for though? Andy, You will be out there for hours fiddling with those Templot print-outs! I wish I was nearer so I could laugh at assist you aligning them, all 57 of them......have fun! Hhahahhaa Mike I think your right about sorting out the prints, I had a look at a few and they do seem a bit hap hazard to say the least, but once I throw them up in the air and see how they land, then and only then will I have a better idea of what it will look like. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Hi All and Bodge, By the time this layout is up and running many of us would have spent hours enjoying researching bits for our mate Andy, so what do all think of inviting ourselves to the grand opening where Mr Peters can give us all a cup of tea and one of the famous Bodgit sausages in a roll, bun, cob, bap or what ever English dialect your small bread thingy is. :locomotive: Edited November 23, 2014 by Clive Mortimore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted November 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2014 I think he might have to take the layout out to get us all in! Perhaps a turnstile on the gate letting a few through at a time. Don 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure my C&L gauges must be 'OO-BF' as they say 16.5mm on the label, so now I know - at last! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Evening gang, nothing at all done today, the plan was to go out in the Shed this evening and start to lay out the templates, but I am going into the Print Shop tomorrow to see if they can print the plan onto one continuous roll, I have downloaded it onto one of those funny little Stick things that go in the side of the Flippity Flopperty thing but I still cant view it as one from here yet. More will be known tomorrow I hope. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My adjutant Captain Nearlyposhname (not a bad chap for a grammar school boy) and the Sergeant Major are in charge of keeping the motor transport in order. Lieutenant Poshname hyphen La de Da and Corporal whatever his name was are manning the entrance with Sergeant Shoutalot ensuring that nobody helps themselves to Mr Peters' toy trains. I too would do as he says if he shouted "You there, get your filthy thieving 'ands off that NOW!!!!!" at me. Staff Sergeant Burns has his number one cooker ready for the Barbeque as he prefers to call his fry ups, either way we are normally left with something chard. It just leaves the Quartermaster (God awful man, came up through the ranks) to make the tea assisted by Cfn Mortimore. The Quartermaster did mention that he will only bring one small box of tea bags and that you all will have to share one bag between two cups because if he brings the other box it will leave a gap on his shelves. Lieutenant Poshname hyphen La de Da says that Corporal whatever his name was has reminded him that Operation Bodgitrail will have to be on a Wednesday when we all can travel on the number 79 bus. As well as the support for the event as you have requested Lance Corporal 911 will be on hand to fix any electrical problem. Do you think that Captain Dr De'ath and Private Bone of the RAMC should be in attendance with their sticking plaster and smelling salts? You never know what emergency could happen. Yours Lt. Colonel La de Da hyphen Poshname Rough Engineering Made Easy Edited November 23, 2014 by Clive Mortimore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried my print shop but either his machine or my stick was dodgy, I'll take a guess who's! Hope it works for you mate.

RBE Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Tbh Andy I dont think that they will be able to do it as one big print. The nature of templot exports it as sheets that you can print. A4, A3 or whatever. The A3 file I sent you was fine however I feel you tend to get more waste blank paper with A3 than you do with A4. Unless they can edit the file at the shop and cut and paste all they pages in the correct order and position in the plan (which I doubt very very much) then you would be better off just having em done on seperate A4s.

Hi, I'm sure when I wanted mine done I was told it was okay to do but I honestly don't know enough to offer any help, I just think it was selecting 'File type' in the 'save as' command.

RBE Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Nah, the file is a 57 page pdf. It cant be saved as anything else. Each page is essentially a printed page. The whole plan doesnt exist in the pdf file in any format. To print it as a whole one piece plan the printers would have to be able to digitally cut out the tracks on each page and then assemble them digitally into a plan that they dont know what it looks like in the first place and then stitch them together for printing. A lot of work that even it they had the software and knowledge to do from a pdf file it would cost a crazy amount in labour alone.

Sorry but I was told there was a format to suit a 'plotter' type printer used for architects plans and such e.g on a roll about 900mm wide and not individual sheets. I will have a look at templot but have my doubts if I'll remember the suffix choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yes Mike there may well be I havent looked into it tbh as I dont have a plotter but thats not what Andy has got. He has the A4 and A3 prints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
