Hi All Is it possible to convert a curved turnout to a Y. I have a 28" 36" turnout R handed, is it possible to keep the curved 28" radius and set the other also to 28", it should look as the point snakes through the point. Alan |

Hi Alan, There is a very old tutorial on symmetrical Y-turnouts here: http://www.templot.com/martweb/y_symm.htm And some updated notes here: topic 603 regards, Martin. |

Hi MartinThanks for that, now have a couple of Y turnouts I can make today, I have been trying to make a curved Y but it always turns out straight at one end,. It may not be possible to do this. This is what I am trying to finish with Alan |

It may not be possible to do this.Hi Alan, Change to a curviform V-crossing -- at real > V-crossing options > menu items. (In the next program update this will also be possible by clicking the new V-crossing indicator.) Martin. |

I was wondering what you were meaning as the heal end on a Y is always curved on both roads. Never thought about curving the toe end, stock will snake through the crossing on the left hand side of the turnout | ||
