For those like me who are not to clever at remembering things It would be nice if there could be preset scale/gauge settings for these two ( I guess the sm32 & 45 guys would also be interested ) scale/gauge ration in the gauge / scale selector. I do understand they are narrow and not standard gauges, and there are variants, but they are very popular scale/gauge combinations | ||

Hi John, I made the decision not to include narrow-gauges in the pre-sets. Partly because there are so many variants that they would completely swamp the list -- it is far too long already. But also because the timbering settings, rail-widths, etc., are not included in the gauge/scale settings. So simply changing the gauge and scale isn't sufficient if you still have 8ft-6in sleepers and 12" wide crossing timbers. The solution is to share customized template files with other users, one of the primary purposes of this Templot Club forum. For 0-16.5 templates there are already some 0-16.5 template files which you can download from here: topic 28 and matching Peco: topic 2526 Just download the files and print the templates.  Or starting from those templates, make whatever changes to the size, radius, etc., that you require. regards, Martin. |

Martin Thank you for the answer and pre-set links. I do understand your reply in one way, but with the ever increasing popularity of these scales for numpties like me who quickly forget some of the processes it would be very usefull. I guess its a case of making a template and saving it. In 009 any suggestions for sleeper length, spacing and adjacent track centres please. Also should I change the type of switch and Vee Thanks |
