Turnouts and Sectional Track

Turnouts (and sectional track) are created by the Turnout command. When you select the turnout command, the Turnout Selection dialog is displayed which contains a list of available turnouts and sectional track for the current scale and a diagram of the selected turnout.

You can use the Parameter File dialog to control what Turnouts are displayed.

Select a turnout from the scrolling list. A picture of the selected turnout is drawn in the diagram canvas. You can pick the Active End-Point by clicking on an End-Point in the diagram. The Active End-Point is indicated by a highlighted square.

The New button invokes the Turnout Designer dialog. This button displays a popup-menu list of various types of turnouts and sectional track.

The Turnout Selection window will disappear while dragging on the layout if the Hide Check Box on the dialog is set. This is useful if you have a small screen.

See the Hot Bar command for details on placing Turnouts on the layout.
