Stephen Freeman wrote: One thing I'd like to see in Templot is the ability to alter the actual angle of the end of rails (check or wing)Hi Stephen, Yes, you can do that by modifying the flangeway end-gap and the flare length. For an individual check rail or wing rail, use the real > adjust check rails... menu item. Here is a bit of video showing that being done: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=m3nrRymDOeSvsWfXoQojcg2 2_020716_480000000.png To change all the check rails on a template: 1. change the flare length at real > V-crossing options > customize V-crossing > wing and check rails... menu item. 2. Change the end-gap as below: 2_020705_450000000.png The issue is not as simple as it might seem, because the flare length is a prototype setting (entered in inches), but the end gap is a model setting which depends on the track standards in use (entered in mm). cheers, Martin. |

Unfortunately that's not what I meant. I knew I can bend/chamfer check rails (machined) etc on the checked rail side of the check rail, it's the inside I'd like it do. | ||

My telepathy machine isn't always reliable. I spent quite a bit of time preparing a video to show what I thought you meant. Hopefully others found it useful. cheers, Martin. |

Hi Stephen. I have in the past been known to use just the extreme end of a crossing nose (blanking out everything else) attached to the end of a check rail to achieve the desired effect. Minimalist partial templates. Where there's a will.... Regards Tony. |
