For rail I tend to use something distinctly lighter, a lightish greyish brown. A lot of layouts these days seem to use a sort of pink, which looks horrible. Rail sides and chairs quickly weather to a greyish hue, rather than bright rust.

This gives you a continuous-run test track clear of the visible layout. There are crossovers connecting in to the outer fiddle yard road. With some "extreme carpentry" you could even fit in another orange road under the hi-level blue track. The pink track on the left is the docks branch rising to connect in to the high level ring. You would need some additional crossovers between dark blue and green at 5 o'clock to gain better access to the fiddle yard for docks traffic. Without knowing the layout better ...

Please don't hold up the next release for this If you can include the single block marker that is oriented correctly at each rail gauge-line/timber center-line intersection, that will still be a huge step forward. What I would do with it then is to import a 2D Templot dxf into cad and substitute three bolt chairs for all those markers. From there it is really simple to highlight, for example, all the chairs ...

... topic: 288 Double Slips and Switch-Diamonds posted: 20 Dec 2007 02:24 from: Gordon S Hi Martin and fellow Templotters, still making good progress and finally cracked how to draw a double slip. Simple question however. When converting a turnout from say a B7 to a half diamond the various gaps and check rails all seem in place at the centre of the crossing. When I select a C10 turnout though and convert to a diamond crossing, the rails at the centre of the crossing are all together and no gaps exist. (Apologies for not knowing the technical terms for the various component parts of a crossing). Does this mean you cannot build a conventional double slip using a 1:10 crossing? Do you have to generate a completely different form of double slip? Last edited on 20 Dec 2007 02:25 by Gordon S posted: 20 Dec 2007 02:39 from: Paul Boyd Ah-ha- I had this the other day!

This is solely to identify the source of the file, it is not read on normal loading so doesn't prevent any existing OTBOX files from loading.
