Hello All, I am trying to construct a curved tandem turnout where all roads curve the same way, I have followed Martin's video for LH and RH combined with no problems.. but how do I overlay 2 LH templates over each other?.. It seems that it is only the main roads that snap together whereas I want to have the turnout road of the larger radius snap to the main road of the smaller radius turnout.. is this possible?.. or the more likely.. where am I not looking for the correct commands?!.. Cheers Brian |

Do you want the second switch to be in the main road of the first switch or in the turnout road of the first switch? The former is the more usual arrangement, as in the video. For a single sided tandem that makes the outer exit the common main road. If you want the middle exit to be the common main road what you have in effect is a double-sided tandem (LH and RH) with significant contraflexure so that it appears to be single-sided. For the latter arrangement there is no common main road, so the method is slightly different from in the video. You must peg the second switch onto the heel of the first one, adjust the radius to match, and then snake it to provide the required clearances. If you post your box file we can better see what you are trying to do. regards, Martin. |

Hi Brian. Here is my first attempt at your Tandem. I have not tried to sort out the timbering but try it for a fit. Tony. |
