Hi All,

If I'm building my own track according to a plan created under Templot, is it possible to use the pre-milled vees and other components from the track supply companies at the corresponding 1:6, 1:7 angles etc.?

Kind regards,

Jim

Hi Jim,

Yes, sure. The angle numbers mean the same in Templot as those used by suppliers. Templot uses RAM unit angles, like this for 1:6

Some suppliers may use CLM angles instead, like this:

It makes a slight difference to the overall length of a template, but for the individual components such as a crossing vee the difference is insignificant.

Note that if you are buying complete assembled crossings (frogs), you should make sure that the flangeway standards set in Templot correspond to the flangeway on the components being supplied.

regards,

Martin.
