I have added another 00 pre-set to the gauge list in the next program update:
00-MF
track gauge: 16.3mm
crossing flangeway: 1.1mm
This is a slightly coarsened version of 00-SF, with a bit more tolerance for poor quality control on 00 RTR back-to-backs, and older RTR models.
Compared to 00-SF:
pros:
cons:
I have set the default adjacent centres at 47mm to allow for some possibly tighter radii.
This will no doubt cause the usual grumpiness on RMweb. I will just add that Templot is my software and I can put anything I like in it. No-one is obliged to take the slightest notice.

Compared to 00-SF:
pros:
more tolerant of RTR variations (min back-to-back: 14.2mm)
can go a bit tighter on radius without needing gauge-widening: 700mm/27" approx
uses the same check gauges (15.2mm) as 00-SF and 00-BF
cons:
not quite as smooth for EMGS/Gibson/Ultrascale wheels (ok for Markits/Romford and RTR wheels)
slightly wider flangeways don't look so good
