Templot curves are based on the centre line of the track and the radius shown for a curve is for the centre of the rails, so a standard gauge curve will not align accurately with the Broadgauge curve at the same radius. I have tried adjusting the radius of each curve by half the difference between rails, which results in a much closer curve but not quite close enough. Whilst this is not a problem with plain track, it does present a problem at common crossings. Is there a method for accurately aligning the common curved rail in a turnout? Or, is there a method I could use to create the turnouts in a similar way to a tandem turnout? Secondly. Is there a method to create a common elbow in the template, |

Hi John, Welcome to Templot Club. Overlay the common rail by putting the peg on the rail instead of the centre-line, geometry menu: 2_151140_290000000.png and then use the peg and notch functions directly -- geometry > notch menu items. Explanation of peg and notch in this (very old) page: http://templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm cheers, Martin. |

Thank you Martin. I need to pay more attention when reading through the menus. Also, the link provided some very interesting reading. Cheers, John. |
