It's just that it is curved so that it looks like the opposite hand. So start with a right hand point and curve it to look like a left hand point then superimpose a left hand point on top in the normal manner. regards Alan |

It's just that it is curved so that it looks like the opposite hand.Hi Alan, That's not strictly true, a single-sided tandem can easily have both turnouts of the same hand. In fact that's normally the case where an outer road is the main road: 2_022021_130000001.png  The same can apply to a 3-throw turnout, although in that case single-sided versions are quite rare. Derek, here is a sequence of posts showing some of the constraints in creating a tandem turnout: topic 2394 - message 16119 Unfortunately tandem turnouts are not straightforward, and you do need to be reasonably confident with Templot to produce a usable result. If you post some details of your radii and crossing angles, etc., we may be better placed to help. Or maybe you could post your .box file or a screenshot of your track plan. By the way, I think in 15 years of Templot this is the first time anyone has mentioned using the TT-120 gauge/scale. It makes a nice change.  regards, Martin. |

It's because I haven't written that page yet -- along with most of the other new Templot Companion pages. I'm sorry about that. In the meantime there is an old video about tandem turnouts here: http://templot.com/martweb/videos/3_way_tandem.exe Some amended notes to update it for Templot2 are here: topic 1487 If you could post your .box file here I'm sure someone will be able to help with the tandem turnouts. regards, Martin. |
