Hi Temploters, I am having problems with a 3way Tandem point I am going to build in 2mmFS. I have followed Martin's video step by step and am confident up until the place where you rotate the K onto the background template no matter what I do I cannot get this to fit and cannot see where I am going wrong. I have to admit I have no clue when it comes to the prototype and alot of terms in Templot baffle me. I know I should know all these things and terms but I have managed to get this far blissfully ignorant. I would if someone could take a look and advise me where my problem arises and then I can complete this for my micro layout. Thanks in advance Tom |

I am assuming you are having problems with the 3rd Vee and have put it in for you. You should be able to see how it was done by checking the partial templates. I do not know what the measurement in your scale would but I'd suggest chekcing the distance between the right blade of Turnout 1 with the stock rail of Turnout 2 to make sure there is enough clearance. Hope that helps Regards Raymond |

Raymond, Thank you very much for your assistance, and I think I was having a bit of a moment as you were right and I did mean 3rd V crossing  I am a novice in track building and probably got the distances wrong but was copying Martins video as a guide. More tinkering and building later today!Regards Tom |
