Dave- For printable turnout and crossing templates designed to NMRA standards, see
http://www.handlaidtrack.com/tie-templates.php You could try gluing the template down and building on top of it to help in rail placement. Stan Furmanak Annville, PA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of David Engle Sent: Thu 10/26/2006 10:52 PM To: S-Scale Group Subject: {S-Scale List} Turnout Layout. I am trying to lay out a pair of switches for either a #7 or #8 frog, following the NMRA RP 12.2 diagram. I am trying to get the right distance between the stock rails at several locations between the points and the frog, but before the frog and the rails behind it are in place. If I start from the switch point and go out dimension 2, (4-3/16"), I need to go crosswise by dimension 4 (5/32") plus the track gauge (7/8") to get my stock rail spread. Right? Same for Dimension 13 of 6-9/16" or 6-7/8":the spread should be dimension 12, (5/16" plus 7/8") Right? Third checkpoint is Dimension 17, (8-7/16" or 9-3/8"), the spread is 1/2"+7/8" or 1-3/8" . Fourth checkpoint is point of frog, (Dim. 8 of 11-3/8" or 13-5/8") where the spread would be 1/3/4" Is this feasible, or am I leaving out some fudge factors or other items to be considered.
