05-29-06 Turnout Templates and Curves
I scanned in the turnouts as previously discussed. I imported them in to the track design software to compare them to the templates I was using.
My original assessment was incorrect. The turnouts matched the templates I was using in the software. I did not have to make any alterations. The turnouts did not match the paper templates I copied out of a book.
I am slowly transferring the track lines to the modules. I have finished the largest module. I am now working on a corner module. I attached it to the finished module to make sure the track joints will line up.
I did come up with a shortcut on drawing curves. I drew the curves I would need in AutoCAD. I printed them full scale on a large format printer I have access to. Then I cut the curve templates out.
