I have been trying to do these irregular crossings in the TDV but can't make them work. I have attached a file so you can see what I need to do, can any help me with this?

Hi Len,

Try this (for Templot Development Version only):
  1. start with the top turnout -- delete to the control

  2. peg on datum CTRL-0

  3. tools > adjacent track centres...  change the centres to the S7 pre-set -- 78.17mm

  4. real > V-crossing options > curviform V-crossing

  5. real > V-crossing options > V-crossing angle... set it to 8.75

  6. tools > make ladder crossover > make curviform ladder

  7. tools > make branch track
Remove the underlying conflicting templates and re-connect to the diamond. You will probably want to shorten the first half-diamond (F4).

In practice a C-9 might be more likely for the top turnout, but that would require some further adjustments to the turnout positions (CTRL-F6).

regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin I did this and it worked, but I don't know how to do the timbers. I've enclosed the new file.
Regards

Len
