Hi

I'm trying to build a tandem turnout, B6 and A6 oppsite hands.  But get stuck on the middle crossing.

The videa uses an A4.5 crossing.

How do you work out the middle crossing angle/ratio?

My resultant curve are 1331 and 3341 mm.

Hi Mick,

I'm about to do my first tandem - so I've been carefully studying Martin's videos. Watch it again - Martin creates the centre crossing initially using a 1:4.5, but after placing it in the correct position he changes the the crossing angle to 'any angle' and manually adjusts it. 6 mins and 31 seconds in to the video is the critical point!

Thanks Andy.

I've worked out what I was doing wrong - I forgot to put the - sign in front of the curve radius  on the turnout used for the middle crossing.

Twit.

regards

Mik
