... Martin's video and trying to draw the template for this turnout. I am having trouble trying to get the geometry correct. I am having trouble with the straight section through the V-crossing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Bruce Wilson Barrie, Ontario Attachment: attach_260_361_WDLR30mRadiusTurnou t.PNG 850 posted: 22 Mar 2008 11:57 from: Martin Wynne Hi Bruce, The missing information is either the planing angle on the blades, or the heel spread (offset) dimension (distance between the running edges at the switch heel): wdlr_ng1.png Also needed is the angle at the V-crossing (frog), the 15 degrees is presumably the exit angle beyond the curve? Can you obtain this information? If not we can proceed on trial and error and guesswork. Ideally we also need the rail top width and the width of the blunt nose on the vee. In a single template Templot can provide either a straight section all through the V-crossing (" regular" type) or a curve running all through (" curviform" type). ...
