"Generic" means I made it up as I went along :)  -- you will need to change the dimensions to match your prototype.

Please refer to these notes while watching:

Scale: 7mm/ft.
Gauge: 14mm.
Flangeway gap: 1.0mm (as EM)
Flangeway end gap: 2.0mm

Adjacent track centres spacing: 9ft (63mm).

Sleeper length: 4ft (but 4ft-6in may have been better).
Sleeper width (plain track): 9"
Timber width (turnouts): 9"
Timber spacings: 36"

Rail top: 2" wide.
Other rail section dimensions: ignored. edit for Templot2: If the rail section data is entered, for flat-bottom rail Templot can now print the rail-foot edge lines on the templates -- real > rails > head and foot menu option. 

Custom switch: 7ft switch to 4" heel spread (i.e. 84" switch lead = 1:21 deflection).
Switch rail and stock rail lengths: set to zero (i.e. the joint marks are omitted).
Switch timber spacings: fixed generic.

V-crossing: 1:6 curviform.
Wing rail fronts span: 1 timber (all sizes).
Vee rails span: 3 timbers (all sizes).
Check rail working lengths: 48" (all sizes).

edit: There is an error in the check rail settings. The flare lengths need shortening to properly check the crossing.

regards,

Martin.
