... again. Wait until the underlying plain track is curved and finalised in position before doing any of this of course. Otherwise you will have to do it all over again. Just a p.s. to this method -- first extend the original turnout (using F4) until it's long enough to contain the extended check rail. Otherwise you will not get the full length of the check rail or the end flare section. There is an alternative method mentioned in the Help for getting the check rails and plain track in a single curvable template -- add approach track to a turnout (F3), increase the working length of one or both the check rails sufficiently to extend back into the approach, put the peg at CTRL-1 and then do> snap to peg menu item. The disadvantage with this method is that you have to do each end of the check rail(s) as separate templates to get the end flares, and you can't use the roll rails functions on the templates because they are still turnout templates. regards, Martin ...

... the list or if the notes are not clear then refer back to the video.

Hi Stuart, in a double slip there are 2 V-crossings, 2 K-crossings and 4 switches. All 8 of which have a multitude of variable settings. And then the whole lot needs to be curvable onto any radius or inserted wholly or partially in a transition zone. Not forgetting to allow for all the differences in prototype practice, UK and worldwide. And every model gauge from Z gauge to 5" gauge and larger, including all the narrow-gauge variants. You write the code and I will incorporate it into Templot. Seriously, using partial templates is the only sensible option. It also matches prototype practice -- which is always our first point of reference, rather than a model track catalogue. If it's ...
