... space for the second switch to open behind the first and have the timbering properly spaced at the toe of the second switch where it does so. The prototype also created custom switches where the geometry demanded it. But not so often, because they had the advantage of not having to cater for multiple gauges -- 00, EM, 0-MF, etc. If you look at your created tandem and look at the switch data, you can see what I mean about the lead to heel matching the planing length: 2_301941_370000000.png However, the whole point of having a two-stage process in the make tandem function is that if you don't like the 1st turnout which Templot has created you can change it. And then continue the tandem creation process. In doing so it is important that the 1st switch toe stays in the same place with respect to the 2nd switch toe, so you must do geometry> peg positions> peg on TP (Toe Position, CTRL-2) before doing anything which would otherwise move it. After which you ...
