Hi martin I have just used the control Template to add a mainside track centreline, at which point I lost some bits of rail from the turnout roads and some timbering from the heel end, I have checked 'OMIT RAILS' and 'Shove Timbers' to see if I could find out if they had been deleted, but as you can see from the screen shot all is shown as being in place. I am using Win 7.38_310932_140000000.png  I have tried closing Templot and re-opened it, but the screen shot scenario still remains. Any ideas please. Thanks Phil |

Hi Phil, That looks odd.  Which function(s) did you use for "I have just used the control Template to add a mainside track centre-line"? I can't see a mainside centre-line on that control template, the centre-line appears to be a background template. Is there a very long length of approach track on this template? Can you post your box file here (or just a section of it - save group)? Thanks. regards, Martin. |

The reason for the centre-line template is a background template is because I saved it, so that I could look at the affected template. Template 45 in the box file. Box file hopefully attached. Thanks Phil |

Hi Phil, Thanks for the .box file. The reason for the problem is that you have the turnout-side adjacent track centres set to only 32mm (instead of the 44.67mm minimum), with the turnout-road exit length set to crossover (for the mid-point of a crossover). You can either: a. change the the adjacent track spacing to a more suitable dimension, or b. set geometry > turnout-road exit length > normal. I will look at adding a warning when the track spacing is set very small, thanks for reporting it. p.s. if you want the centre-line for double track, without changing the track spacing settings, you can do geometry > centre-line offset options > MS double track centre. That way you don't need a separate template. If the reason for wanting the double-track centre line was for the ballast edge or trackbed edge, see instead the geometry > trackbed edges > menu options. There is more info on the ? trackbed - help menu item. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin Thanks, I thought it might have something to do with the track centre-lines. The reason for using the track centre-line rather than track bed edges, is that it's possible to get a nice curving sweep to avoid obstructions, whereas the track bed edges is the abrupt change from one template to the next, if/when a different width is required. Thanks Phil |
