I started to follow the instructions for a scissors crossover but have found that there is no B10 turnout available in the drop down menu. Could this mean that the installation is faulty or is there a way of adding more options? Regards David B |

Not sure what you may have tried so far, David, but what I do to get the template I want is click menu item template > new template, and then in the dialogue box which appears in the middle of the screen, choose the type of turnout from the drop-down list in the lower left corner of the box.

In the new control template window select REA B-8 in the template size drop down. Press OK. Then choose the Template / V-Crossing options ... menu item to display the select V - crossing dialog box and then select 1 : 10 from there, pressing OK when you're done. You'll then have a B-10. (Menu and window names may be different based on the version of Templot you're using. These are from 0.91c) HIH |

A B-10 is an unusual combination. Are you sure this what you want? C-10 is more usual which is why if you use the F5 function to alter the crossing angle it will automaticaly take you to a C-10. You can turn that feature off if you want to however. However the easy way is simply: Template/switch options and select B (REA) or B(GWR) then Template/V-crossing options and select 1:10 Alan |

Are you sure this what you want?Hi Alan, David is following John Preston's scissors crossover tutorial: http://85a.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?id=575 which starts from a B-10 turnout. This topic refers: topic 465 Hi David, Templot can create any combination of switch size and crossing angle. The sizes in the "quick set" list are just a few common sizes as convenient pre-sets. Here's a bit of Jing video (in version 074b for a change), showing how to set up a B-10 turnout: (In 091c, the menu items are: template > switch options... and template > V-crossing options... .) regards, Martin. |

Hi Alan As Martin has just revealed, many combinations can be made using Templot. The Rationale for using a B10 Turnout is that it gives the longest radius for the turnout between the switch heel and the start of the "crossing vee straight". This in turn affects the minimum radius of the turnout. We need the crossing vee straight to be long enough to include the crossing vee's of the diamond crossing, otherwise the use of partial templates becomes far more involved. In the tutorial the turnout side adjacent track centers are left at the preset standard of 44.67 mm. If one was to change the adjacent track centers to 52.67 one could concevably use a B8. I would recommend reading through the whole tutorial first. Hopefully it will explain why certain things are done. As with any tutorial it is meant as a guide to show how to put partial templates together to make the track configuration you desire. If you follow the tutorial exactly, you will only get what the tutorial shows. It is best to experiment a little with your particular requirements to get what you require. If you need a little more help, I should be happy to assist. John P |
