141. Newbie - Chair Types
... topic: 1187 Newbie- Chair Types posted: 4 Aug 2010 09:55 from: grog_polymer I have followed some articles on this site about different chair types and placement. Is there anything out there that shows pictures of the different chair types and describes their uses? I am absolutely going to get started with PCB pointwork and avoid that question preventing me from starting building track. But I am looking to mix Peco Code 75 flex and haid laid track. Chairs will be obviously missing with this situation so I either need ... strip is an alternative to those produced by Exactoscale, C&L etc Presumably if you're using PCB for the staging turnouts then appearance there doesn't matter too much.

... The two ends of a plain track template are CTRL-0 and CTRL-1. Also Templot draws a marker line across the rail ends at the CTRL-1 end of a plain track template, which you can see as the white line in your screen shot. All of which means that a transition curve in this template "starts" from the outer end. Which in turn means that if you want the straight section to be at the outer end, you need to select easement from straight, i.e. setting ... topic: 1192 Can't get transition to straight/from straight to work during one of track plan tutorial posted: posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:07 from: grog_polymer Ho all, I am doing the "Track Plan Tutorial" in 0.91c.
