Hi Dave,

The problem there is that tandem turnouts are probably the most difficult to design because so many inter-related factors have to be taken into account. Actually within Templot it is quite straightforward, the complexity is in the initial prototype design to create a viable arrangement.

I can easily make a tutorial to create a specific size of tandem, but it won't necessarily apply to any other size of tandem. Something may have to be changed, or moved, or done differently. You then get a write-up containing so many ifs and buts and on the other hands that no-one could ever follow it until they were experienced enough not to need it. :?

However there are some notes about tandem turnouts here:

 topic 2394 - message 16119

There is also a very old video which needs updating and may be more hindrance than help:

 http://templot.com/martweb/videos/3_way_tandem.exe

I will try to create a new tutorial/video for tandems, but I am still waiting for inspiration on how to tackle it without getting hopelessly bogged down in all the options and conflicts.

regards,

Martin.

Thanks. My requirement is basically a symmetrical ( or very nearly symmetrical tandem )

Any help is very much appreciated. It seems quite a challenge to make as well as design
