I'm trying to fix some rough track in a 6 track yard and have concluded the only way I can do it is with dynamic track. Since the yard is on a curve I had used a3t10005d for the inner three tracks. The problem is on the outer three tracks. So, if I use DT there, what is the exact radius to use on those outer curves?Dave NelsonWP mainline, Oakland-Stockton: 95% complete;

The answer is in the tsection.dat file. TrackShape ( 38
FileName ( A3t1000r5d.s )
NumPaths ( 3 )
SectionIdx ( 1 -4.985 0 0 0 65 )
SectionIdx ( 1 0 0 0 0 47 )
SectionIdx ( 1 4.985 0 0 0 67 )
)From the trackshape you can find the tracksection definitions (the last number in the SectionIdx lines). TrackSection ( 65
SectionSize ( 1.5 0 )
SectionCurve ( 995.015 -5 )
)
TrackSection ( 47
SectionSize ( 1.5 0 )
SectionCurve ( 1000.0 -5 )
)
TrackSection ( 67
SectionSize ( 1.5 0 )
SectionCurve ( 1004.985 -5 )
)Then its just a matter of adding 4.985m to the outside definition.1009.97
1014.955
1019.94Steven
