Been looking at different software packages and websites with turnout drawings, and like the versatility of Templot 2, but being a European software package with there terminology makes it hard for my mind to grasp the steps involved to design a custom turnout. Getting better on that front.
If anyone can help me with the steps to make a simple crossover as one assembly that would help.
I am only interested in #4 turnouts and like the turnout transitions at this size. Also limited on space and this is a narrow gauge layout.
In making a #4 turnout I discovered a 10 foot radius section of track is almost perfect for the diverging route.
Yes the software can do a LGB 160xx design with many steps but want a slightly smoother transition on the crossover than a 8 foot diameter.
You can post here of send me a PM.
Thanks
Dennis
