Hi Max, 1. For gauntlet track, start with a turnout. Click template > gaunt options > gaunt turnout menu item. Then use F3 mouse action to extend the gauntletted section to the required length. 2. For a diamond-crossing, start with a turnout. Click tools > make diamond-crossing menu item. Press the INSERT key and print the background templates. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin I've done the straight turnout and the gauntlet, but I'm having trouble with the crossover. I need to make one that's at right angles. Regards Max |

They are extremely rare on the prototype and each one tends to be individually designed. There is no agreed standard design for them. There are some notes about this, and a drawing of a GWR 45-degree crossing, in this topic: topic 160 regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin Crossovers are quite common in the US, which is where the NMRA is rooted. I'm working on my MMR degree, so I have to follow their rules. Fortunately The angle isn't critical as I just have to demonstrate that I can make one, but the closer it is to a right angle, the easier it is. I have been able to get enough info from the scanned book page to draw my own template. Thanks again. Max |
