... topic: 2763 Tandem turnout and locking switches posted: 24 Oct 2015 22:32 from: Jubilee42 Hello Templotters! I have got so confident with my turnouts, that I've decided to draw the tandem turnout I need. I have noted that Martin warns beginners like me to try something simpler, but it all seemed to be going so well to start with! By following the video I have managed to get the two separate turnouts drawn and to put them on top of each other: 3033_241711_160000000.png I have also drawn the third turnout which makes the extra vee (where the notch is here) and placed it where I want it according to the video: 3033_241714_340000000.png It is shown here as the control. The next phase it to lengthen and turn it a bit so it lies on the underlying rails. To this end I am supposed to allow any sort of vee to be created, which I've done, and to lock the switch, which is not an option I can choose: 3033_241723_490000000.png What have I missed? I'm not at all sure ...
