I've been working through the Tandem turnout video a step at a time and have a small query - do you always set the extra "vee" at 4.5? I am trying to tandem a B8L (1420mm) and C9R (5314mm), but can't seem to get it right - any suggestions? Also for some reason I couldn't change one of the Templates to marker colour.. Richard Jones |

Generally with a bit of practice you can guess the angle quite closely. Note that this adjustment will be much easier in the next Pug -- why not join the development group and try it in the TDV? Gaunt turnouts are now available, mainly for this very purpose -- to provide a V-crossing as a partial template in which the crossing angle and turnout radius can be independently adjusted. template > gaunt options > gaunt turnout menu item. F9 adjusts the V-crossing angle. Set a curviform type of V-crossing, and then SHIFT-F12 adjusts the turnout radius via the gaunt offset. (These instructions are for TDV -- they won't work in 091c.) Also for some reason I couldn't change one of the Templates to marker colour..What happened when you tried? Only background templates can have a marker colour, not the control template. Click on the background template, and then template colours > marker colour... menu item. You won't see anything if the control template is over the top of it -- move it away using F7. regards, Martin. |

Brilliant thanks - I've just tried it on a C9/B8 and it works a treat, and a lot easier than the previous method. | ||

Hi All, Re: the problem with the marker colour.......... I found that I had about 5 copies of the same template one above the over!!!!!! once deleted down to one..... no problem..... Any comments on my efforts with a tandem on Singleton (curved version 2 colour 004), it is formed of templates 146/149/151 now to tackle that double slip best wishes Richard |
