... -SF), with a curviform V-crossing: 2_080815_260000000.png That is such a short turnout that I suggest it is not what you want. Or if it is, the fact that you are modelling LPTB is irrelevant. To get a satisfactory result I used to the shortest 9ft straight switch. If you ease the crossing angle from 1:3.75 to say 1:4.5 you get something looking more reasonable, but at these angles you still need to use a short straight switch rather than an "A" switch: 2_080831_130000000.png In this case the turnout radius is now around 42", still with the 9ft straight switch. If you want to do it as an A-4 because that size is in the LPTB list, it looks like this: 2_080851_000000000.png Which looks horrible, and wastes space. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Dec 2016 19:50 from: 4railsman Phil O wrote: I wouldn't worry too much about it, draw in you main line and then" insert turnouts in plain track" adjust the 'V' angle ...
