I,ve tried for a few programs before like anyrail & xtrackcad to design a layout & it just seems to be a bit beyond me when it comes to getting perfect curves to do a double track mainline. I was wondered if their were any tutorials on the forum to show me how i do this?? Cheers Simon. |

I was wondered if there were any tutorials on the forum to show me how I do this??Hi Simon, There are two videos showing different ways to create ovals in Templot. Go to the video page at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/video_list.htm Read the notes and then scroll down and click on the simple oval - method 1 and simple oval - method 2 links to watch the videos. Making them double track is easy. Just work your way round deleting to control/current, and clicking the tools > make double-track menu items for each template. Templot is completely different from Anyrail and XTrkCad, so if you found those difficult you might find Templot a lot easier. Please consider though that an oval isn't a very railway-like formation, it's not the best way to start a proper track plan, and it's not really what Templot is for. I made these videos only because folks frequently asked for them.  The best way to begin is to lay out a small through station, possibly on a gentle curve, and then extend the tracks round the ends to whatever you want on the other side. Another station perhaps, or a fiddle yard, or an industrial complex. regards, Martin. |
