... Printing a curved one is really quite straightforward: 1. Start with a suitable size for the first turnout. Use the F5 mouse action to set the size. Curved turnouts usually need to be longer than straight ones to keep the radius within bounds. C-10 is a good size to try. 2. Set the required radius in the running line, using the F6 mouse action. See this starter video showing F5 and F6 mouse actions being used to print a curved C-10 turnout: http:// ... positive feedback, so I transferred my attention to the videos, which have been generally better received.

The regulations require a continuous check rail on curves below 10 chains radius (104" in 4mm/ft) on running lines, but there is no such requirement for yards and sidings.
