If I move the peg along a little and make a separate exit road etc. will this let me trim the turnout down?

 

Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

You can shorten a turnout template back towards the toe (CTRL-0 end) by as much as you wish, using the F4 overall length mouse action.

Alternatively you can blank out part of the turnout forwards from the toe, using the CTRL-F3 blanking length mouse action.

In addition you can move the peg (CTRL-F8 mouse action) and then do > snap to peg menu item to set the overall length, or do > blank up to peg menu item to set the blanking length.

You can split a separate exit track template only if there is some to split, i.e. if the overall length of the turnout template extends beyond the MVJP (vee rail joint) (CTRL-8 peg position).

regards,

Martin.
