... Not necessarily. When you insert turnout in plain track you get back the turnout which was there when you did convert turnout to plain track. It may have had any type of V-crossing. This can sometimes catch you out. It's easy to see from the template which type of V-crossing is present: regular= turnout curve end marker is not at the FP intersection (marker is at CESP peg position) generic= turnout curve end marker is at the FP intersection curviform= no turnout curve end marker shown 2_271750_430000000.png For regular V-crossings the position of the marker can be adjusted using SHIFT+ F11 mouse action. This changes the lead length of the turnout without changing the crossing angle, which can be useful in some situations. My instincts tell me that at some point a "curviform" V crossing would be more suitable. So my question is "when and why" would I use a "curviform" crossing? When the track geometry requires that the turnout curve continues beyond the V-crossing. That might be: ...
