... showing a bullet mark. But I thought it would be convenient to have the information visible at a glance, so I have added a curving indicator on the information panel. This shows: st for a straight template co for a constant radius template tr for a transition curve template 2_012023_540000000.png If a slew is present in the template, there is also a tilde character (swung dash) prefix: ~st ~co ~tr 15. Symmetrical Y-turnouts: There is a new peg position at peg on split deflection: 2_281934_280000000.png This puts the peg on the TP switch toe position (CTRL-2) but at half the switch deflection angle. Which makes it easy to peg an irregular half-diamond onto a bit of plain track to create a switch front. This makes a quick way to improvise a symmetrical Y-turnout. In practice in many track planning situations there would be no need to create a separate switch front, it could be pegged directly onto an existing approach track. Then rolling the rails to put the switch-front ...
... split-deflection switches have been on my NOD list (" nice one day") for over 20 years. Without getting any closer. But in a couple of hours today I have come up with a stop-gap solution which works far better than I dared hope. Which means I am now kicking myself for not doing something like this much sooner. It does rely on the irregular half-diamonds, so wouldn't have been possible before Templot2. I have added a new peg position at peg on split deflection: 2_281934_280000000.png This puts the peg on the TP switch toe position (CTRL-2) but at half the switch deflection angle. Which makes it easy to peg an irregular half-diamond onto a bit of plain track to create a switch front. The result is that I was able to create this with just a few clicks, and no timber shoving needed. In most cases you will want to set the V-crossing to curviform for a symmetrical result. In practice in many track planning situations there would be no need ...
