1. Dual Gauge Turnouts - Basic Principles?

... road crossing rail) 4.1. No timbering (already set) 4.2. 'Omit rails' – leave turnout crossing rail 4.3. Shorten to about a couple of sleepers length (Blanking length Ctrl+ F3) 4.4. Store& background 5. Create 'narrow gauge' main road (copy from base turnout) 5.1. No timbering 5.2. Modify track gauge (in this case 16.5mm) 5.3. 'Omit rails' – leave Turnout crossing, Vee, Main crossing, and main stock rail 5.4. Change V-Crossing settings to 'Curviform crossing' (?) 5.5. Shorten the NG turnout such that the turnout crossing rail leading from the 'Vee' falls short of the wing rail and crossing end of the turnout road crossing rail previously created. 5.6. Change the size of the turnout (set F5 to accept any angle)- this is where it appears to be going wrong... (not the program, rather the user!) Notwithstanding the problems with the switch settings jumping, this last step seems wrong- the gauge looks to be ...

Regards Tony. posted: 16 Apr 2017 12:20 from: DerekStuart I agree with Tony. I think you will need to end up with the turnout further down the 'bottom right' of the screen and a far more gentle Vee though. Might be worth selecting 'curviform' too. At the moment that turnout would give you quite a severe reverse curve. ** DISCLAIMER** I know nothing about anything. posted: 16 Apr 2017 12:23 from: Martin Wynne Hi Panos, 1. Try starting with the turnout on the left, set curviform and the TS spacing, and then tools> make branch crossover. You can then extend the turnout to a longer size (to increase the inner radius) with F5 mouse action, and link it to the existing curve using ...
