Chaps,
I dont know if this is possible, but a friend of mine in the US is designing his new layout and while most of the trackwork will be handbuilt, for some of the point work he's going to use FastTrack guides for quickness. FastTrack provide a template download, which has details on point length, sleeper spacing/widths and radius angle. I said I thought we should be able to recreate that template in Templot to make it easier for him to design the layout, but having had a go tonight I cannot make the turnout match. I can get the timber settings in, but then with the right ratio angle, the length is different. I am obviously missing something, but can anyone tell me what, so I can tell him?
The template he's using is https://www.handlaidtrack.com/assets/downloads/tt-n-t-10.pdf
