I am sure the sky will fall on me but here goes. With a pair of adjacent tracks I wish to make a turnout in (say) the left hand track that will continue across the right hand track and away. The auto-command 'make diamond crossing' would appear to suit either two curved tracks or two straight not one straight and one curved so I must be missing a trick here. Does it have to be done manually, command by command (sort of long hand)?

Hi Donald,

You are not missing a trick. What you are asking for is called an irregular diamond.

Irregular diamonds are not currently supported in Templot. They are in the pipeline for a future pug. Click this link for more information.

regards,

Martin.

Thanks for reply. It puts my mind at ease not to waste time seeking a non existant solution. I can see an alternative to my local problem. A bit non-Templot though. The trackwork in the link is a bit of a stunner?

Regards,

Donald
