Hi, I am a new user of templot, trying to produce a trackplan for a friend of mine.I am struggling with the precision of turnouts, among other things. I need a short turnout with a shallow angle between the two. I guess it would be a Y or V shape. That is the best I can describe I'm afraid |

Hi Peter, Welcome to Templot Club. Your description is a bit difficult to follow. In general, short turnouts have steeper/sharper V-crossing angles, turnouts with shallow/flatter V-crossing angles are longer. Here are two turnouts to illustrate that: 2_231715_250000000.png The top one has a 1:4 V-crossing. The bottom one has a 1:10 V-crossing. The easy way to change between these and other sizes in-between is to use the F5 mouse action. If you could post a screenshot or sketch showing what you are trying to achieve, it will be easier to provide a better answer. regards, Martin. |

"In general, short turnouts have steeper/sharper V-crossing angles" But the pointy bit is sharper on the bottom one |

The angle is acute (not to be confused with "a cute angle"). Oh dear. I think I'm being obtuse. |
