Hi Brian, Welcome to Templot Club. The track spacing is set by going to the tools > adjacent track centres... menu item. Every template can have its own spacing settings. If you want to change it you need to do that before making double-track, or making a crossover, etc. For 4mm scale, the minimum track spacing centre-to-centre is 44.67mm. That needs to be increased on sharp curves to allow clearance for overhangs on bogie vehicles. For traditional 00 gauge (00-BF in the list) the usual spacing is 50mm centres, which provides sufficient clearance on all except very sharp curves. Templot sets the spacing to the usual spacing for each gauge when you set the gauge. So if you are happy with that you don't need to change it. There is a dummy vehicle tool which you can roll along the template with the mouse to check the clearances. That's at tools > spacing-ring • dummy vehicle menu item. regards, Martin. |
