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..

Hi Richard,

The middle V-crossing angle has to be adjusted to match the rails. 1:4.5 is just a useful starting point. 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.

Any chance of a quick recipe for this?

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!!!!!! :roll:

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
