... topic: 3694 How to define size of second road of tandem turnout? posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:31 from: William Williamson I've got a scissors formation I'm modelling- and opposing corners have a slip and a threeway. The slip is fine, but the threeway is causing me a bit of head-scratching. I require a 1:6 turnout angle on the scissor side, but the other side can be as wide as is needed. The 'create tandem' function however always seems to insert the second ... 'inside' the first route, so in this case it has created a 1:4.93 tandem: HGQvrOV.png http://i.imgur.com/HGQvrOV.png I'd be happy for this to be a 1:8 or above, but not sure quite how to ensure that. I could build it in reverse, with the 'first' road going towards the top of the plan and then generate a tandem to create the turnout that's part of the scissors- but if I were to build it in reverse, I'm not sure how I could ...
... Wynne Hi Mike, Paul, As a matter of interest, why do you use black& white rather than grey shades? That uses very little more black ink and provides a much clearer template print. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Apr 2013 21:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I set my ancient Canon i850 to use Fast mode by default.

... 5.75 which matches other company's practice. This notation probably derives from expressing crossing angles as for example "1ft in 5ft-9in".
