I have been using Templot for about 4 months now and I have a quite fair knowledge on how to create complete track plans, and I like it very much. However I haven't seen any tutorials on how to make dual gauge trackwork (standard gauge - narrow gauge crossings, turnouts, straight tracks with dual gauge). Are there any tutorials and if not, how hard are those to create with Templot? Thanks István |

Sorry, no mixed-gauge tutorials, but here is a mixed-gauge crossover (without side-swap) for you to pull apart:  Mixed-gauge curved crossover: gwr_mixed_night.png  GWR broad and standard gauges in P4. Conventional timbering. Right-click on the link and select Save Target/Link As... Download: Mixed-gauge curved crossover (for Templot version 078e or later). Example printed templates: gwr_mixed_print_a1.png  gwr_mixed_print_a2.png  (Above printed at 85%.) regards, Martin. |

Martin, I had a quick go at trying to replicate a dual gauge turnout in 00 and broadgauge. I have 2 problems. On mine the 2 switch blades are 4 sleepers appart, and when I line up 1 crossing the other goes slightly out of allignment (may be due to the switches not being the same length)Any tips please | ||

Each crossing is in a short stretch of straight rail as the common crossing is in a single gauge turnout, this complicates the drawing as you have short straights between the switchblades and final crossing, ie. the closure rail is not a continuous curve. If not already a member I would suggest you join the Broad Gauge Society (http://www.broadgauge.org.uk/membership.html) scroll down to the link for the Membership Secretary. The Data Sheet pack for new members has a lot of detail of things Broad Gauge including track. Hope this is of help but I'm not sure if this is what you wanted. Best wishes, Les. |
