Hello, I am building SM32 points. Is it possible to specify different radii for each leg of an asymmetrical Y point? I would like to place a Y point in a 54 inch radius curve, where the right hand leg would be the running line with has a 54 inch radius and then the left leg would branch off, with a 60 inch radius. Pleased can anyone help? Many thanks in anticipation. Kim |

Then adjust the V-crossing angle (F9 mouse action) until you hit the desired resultant turnout radius (60" is 1524mm as shown). This is using a 1:24 switch and ideally you need a custom switch here a bit shorter, say 1:18 or 1:20. Probably you also want equalized timbering. regards, Martin. |
