... But overlaying on plain track isn't a good idea, because the timbering will be plain sleepers instead of wider timbers, and they will be at the wrong spacings for the special switch chairs. For a simple stand-alone set of catch points, all you need to do is shorten a turnout to the stock rail joints, and there is a pre-set function to do that. Most model catch points use short 9ft or "A" switches, but you can use any size you wish if you have space: 2_060840_100000000.png If you use the "shift& join" functions, they will snap onto the end of the catch points in the usual way, or you can use the CTRL-9 functions. There is a page about catch points in the Companion at: http://templot.com/companion/catch_points.php including a video showing how to insert them. Also about reducing it to a single-sided catch point. edit: posts overlapped, no problem Alan. cheers, Martin. posted: 6 Apr 2019 15:13 ...
