David,

Starting with a full turnout reduce the length of the template to just the blade lengths and then use the Do->Omit Rails menu item to remove the rail you don't want.

Hi David,

See this page and old video:

 http://templot.com/companion/catch_points.php

GWR catch points differ from the standard loose-heel switches, so to replicate one exactly (dimensions in David Smith's book) you would need to create a custom switch.



And please, please, no-one write in to tell us they are trap points. They are catch points used as traps. We've been over that so many times I might lose the will to live.

Martin.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for your reply.

I followed your link and within about 30 Secs, Job Done. Easy when you know how!

Regards

David

Thank you Rob, all sorted now. I'd got as far as "Snap to Catch Points" but didn't know what to do next, despite the answer (omit rails) being in the Menu in front of me!
Regards

David
