Hi you all.  I just discovered Templot and I am very impress by all its possibilities. My very first need is to create a template in order to build a specific turnout. All my turnout are from SHINOHARA. When I print my turnout template the gap between sleppers is of 5 mm instead of 4mm in a SHINOHARA HO track. How can I obtain these 4mm.Many thanks.

Hi Gustavius,

Welcome to Templot Club. :)

Creating templates to match existing commercial trackwork can be hard work. Templot is based on prototype pointwork, and most commercial pointwork is not.

You can customize the templates to match your existing timber spacings, see: 

http://templot.com/companion/index.html?timber_spacings_overview.htm

Note that timber spacings are measured centre-to-centre, not the gaps between them.

p.s. in UK track, the bearers under turnouts are called "crossing timbers" or simply "timbers". The bearers under plain track are called "sleepers". Timbers are usually wider and deeper (12in x 6in) than sleepers (10in x 5in). I have edited this topic title to avoid causing confusion.

regards,

Martin.
