Hi, this maybe isn't a problem, but I didn't see a "how to" forum, so...

When I'm working with my track plan I have a 1" grid showing on the screen within the 1' darker grid.  When I go to print, I lose the 1 inch grid, and I only have the 1 foot grid remaining in the background.  I've gone through the print setups and can't find this myself, but I feel sure it must be possible to print with the smaller grid activated.  Thanks for your help!

Hi Folks,

I am new to AnyRail but I have got on with it very well and produced a plan for my new layout. I just wondered if anyone can give me a prefered method of laying track.  Ive glued down a full size plan with repositionsable glue then used Copydex to glue down Woodland Scenics trackbed.  Is this a sensible method?

Cheers,

Mike

The download did not work because the AnyRail files were on an external server.
I've now added the plans files as attachments for you to download.

Hi Ed,

I love your layout and just tried to download the .any file but it won't download. Not sure if the problem is my end or your end. Would you mind send a link to my email address.
Thanks,
Rob

Kato N Scale UniTrack is good stuff -- you just need to master the geometry and study that. I also find that it helps to work in metric (mm) because that's how it was designed.

They have an expansion track but it is not flexible. Great for filling in the last section when the lengths just don't work out.

You used a lot of flex track in your plan, which is really Atlas N scale flex. I only use this for planning purposes. It's great for measuring lengths or radii.

Kato was smart enough, in my opinion, to NOT make prototypical turnouts/switches. Prototypical turnouts often diverge into a straight section and often at odd angles. 12 degrees 50 seconds for example. Or 12.8333* -- This is fine for a spur, but for continuous running these destroy your geometry.

Kato has 481 and 718 R curves exactly match a #4 and #6 turnout. Handy-dandy.

I've contacted Ross Custom switches, and they say the #8 double crossover is part number 280 (that's included in AnyRail already).

We'll take another look at the turntables later.

Ross #176 is a #8 double crossover. Its a bit larger than the #175.
Also, How about Ross turntables?

Sorry for all the questions I am very new to this but quickly becoming addicted to your program.

Welcome!

Would you have a reference to the #176 double crossover? We have the #175 double crossover.

The #8 curved switches are part numbers 240 and 241.

Hello, new to anyrail.
I cannot seem to find certain Ross switches in the library. In particular, double crossover #176 or the #8 curved switch.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thank you.
RC.
