... alternative approach? You can create a conductor rail on each side by modifying the platforms (real> platforms... menu item). I believe conductor rails are not usually installed adjacent to a platform, so using a platform as a conductor rail won't restrict using it for its intended purpose where needed. Set the width of the "platform" to match the conductor rail top 3.1/4" (3.25"). Set the front edge spacing to the required dimension 14.3/8" (14.375"). 2_281800_000000001.png You can then add "platform" conductor rails where required, and adjust the start position and length by mouse action to create the desired overlaps. Here is an output view: 2_281800_000000000.png The great advantage of this method is that it is a single template, and can therefore be curved, copied, re-used, stored as a library template, etc., with the conductor rails included. This method won't work as it stands for turnouts, where you will still need partial templates, although you could overlay them ...
