HiI have been playing around slips to-day and yesterday. I had been following the tutorial/videos on the matter. 
I then found the make slip in tools. I then pressed make single slip. It has produced the slip I wanted in one go. Therefore I am wondering why I should do make ladder etc.etc. I have uploaded the image of what I have done. The problem that I see is that the slip and turnout timbers dont line up with the plain track sleepers.Is it due to the complications associated it be on a transition curve, or it not being P4? I have tried to upload my experiment but it doesn't seem to be very clear.3651_110952_080000000.png3651_110952_080000000.png Is it due to the complications associated it be on a transition curve, or in not being P4

Hi Graham,

Templot, does the hard work, but it's up to you to shove the timbering, to sort out the conflicts.

Cheers

Phil.

Hi Phil
Thanks for reply. After sending post I read that the method on the video is for irregular slips and undestood from that, that using the make slip function is the automatic way to produce regular slip. I am now of the understanding that I will need to use the shove facility for rotating the sleepers on the slip to match after track work. That's one for tomorrow.

Hi Graham,

It's best to ignore the timbering until your track plan design is finalised.

After which you can re-work your way over it, dealing with any timbering conflicts, check rail ends, etc.

If you worry about the fine details of the timbering as you go along, almost certainly your time and effort will be wasted as you go back and make further design changes to the track plan.

Some recent notes about dealing with timbering conflicts are at:
