hi all Im new to templot (0.91.c). I model in N scale and Ive been making up some turnout templates for my layout which is based on bendigo in victoria, Australia. We use a frog angle of 1.52. I have two questions 1. Could some one tell me how to make the frog wing go straight at the end instead of flaring out to the side. I'll attach a file of it. 2. Ive been playing around with double slips. I noticed it takes a few templates on top of each other to make it. Once done is there away to make it one whole templete. There are many in the yard and would save a huge amout of time. Thanks for your help luke |

Leave the first value -- flangeway gap -- unchanged. Change the second value -- flare out (flangeway end gap) -- to whatever you want. For no flare angle set this to be the same as the flangeway gap. Be aware that this would be unlikely to run well, you need some flare to guide the wheelset onto the check rail and wing rail. regards, Martin. |
