Hello I've got a couple of irregular diamonds to create again, and coming back to it fresh was a bit of a struggle, so I've put together the attached which is a simple help/walkthrough/guide on how to create them. The pictures have come out pretty awful, so if anyone wants the MS Word version, please just ask. (I've only got the Word inbuilt PDF conversion tool) And yes, I'm pretty sure I've gone the long way around things, but I'd be grateful if someone could review it. Thanks |

Richard There is no requirement for me to use an irregular diamond but thank you for taking the time to produce the guide, and share it with us. Material like this is always a great help, even if your not planning on producing exactly what is laid out in the guide. I find that you can somtimes use the same technique's to make different track formations. Regards Scott |

Can I add my thanks as well. Whilst I am content just to work from the overlaping plain track templates you're clearly one who likes to go that extra bit. Your guide will be helpful to me in other ways. Alan |

Alan & Scott - thanks for taking the time to have a look and reply. I do realise now that I could use the Parking Bay for 3 of "X.XXT-XH" templates rather than background templates in the storage box. The advantages in being that it's quicker to get at the parking bay than trawl though the storage box. When I get time I'll amend the instructions accordingly. |

As promised an updated version of a irregular diamond help/walk through. The method has changed (uses the parking bay, a feature I should use more), but the outcome is the same. There is also a note about adjusting the templates when the diamond lies within a transation (probably also applies to a slew as well). PS: I see Office 2010 doesn't produce any better PDFs  |

Updated as I'd noticed a couple of errors (the K-check rails were wrong), and some of the text was also wrong, where I'd cut and pasted. Last update I hope! | ||

Richard, Many thanks for your contribution. As a new user and new member of the Club, I have been wondering how to do this, as the prototype I am modelling has three irregular crossings. Tom |
