Tutorials on Templot: 9 - Slips: Basic Techniques (76mins)

The North Mercia Area Group of the 2MMSA has been holding a series of Tutorials on Templot, a program which allows the track-plan (and other features) of a layout to be drawn in full prototypical detail in any scale. They were run via Zoom from January to March 2021 with Templot version 2.26.f. This video is an edited recording of one of the Tutorials. It stands alone and can be viewed in isolation, but together they form a progressive guide through the Templot program, starting from a position of zero familiarity.
