One quick question, which I think I know the unfortunate (for me) answer to, I have decided to stick with N gauge standards for my layout rather than spend a fortune re-wheeling my stock to 2mm Finescale. Will I have to redraw my layout plan or is there a way to change the gauge settings? I am assuming the former as I guess the turnouts will alter slightly? Kind regards, Mark |

Hi Mark, You can change the gauge/scale of a layout plan but it may not work out 100% correct as the ratio of the gauge may not convert absolutely. Depending on the version of Templot you are using you need to 'group select' all the templates and go to the gauge/scale selector and choose the new combination from the list. Then click on 'Convert Group'. You may get a warning message about the conversion. HTH Rob |

Hi Rob, Thanks for your reply! I have just done the conversion, my first task in the development version. I'll have a closer look at all the templates later but from a brief scan it seems to have been successful. I honestly thought I was going to have to start again! Many thanks, Mark |

I had to change a whole layout plan some years ago - going from one 7mm FS gauge to another - and turnouts and slips did need some tidying up. Jim. |
