Dec-19-01, 08:49 AM (EST) 2. "RE: trainyerds" This is one tip that will keep you from closing or widening the gap, in other words keeping things parrellel. Say you lay a 10degree right turnout. Stick a dynamic piece, 2m, on the diverging track, and add a 10 degree left to that piece. On the left add a 2m straight piece on the through track and another 10 and so on. On each of the 10 degree lefts, the diveraging track side, put a 10 meter straight piece. That is needed to keep things parellel.What I do then is add 100m straight sections. Then come off the main with the opposite turnout, build the ladder turnouts the exact same, but in reverse as the first end. Then as stated use dynamic to close the odd size gaps.David Klemm
