Add Fastrack switches at common usable length

[Chris M]

Fastrack switches are not represented properly in the software and has created a nightmare for me. An o76 switch out of the box measures 15.5 inches and the software has it at 14.25" Even if the software is assuming the use of the 1.25 pieces the switch then measures too long in the software.
Maybe I am missing something. pleas help!

For most FasTrack libraries we have, we've used the minimum possible length to allow you to make the tightest possible switching yards. The library name then ends in 'minimum length'.

The minimum length is usually specified by FasTrack, although they sometimes do not match their templates.
In such cases we always use the templates as the source.

This is hand laid track (you need to build it from sleepers and rails yourself), so you just need to cut it to size. When building such a switch make sure to keep the rails long enough so you are flexible when you put it on the base board to line it up and span smaller gaps.

For longer stretches between the switches, you need to lay the sleepers and rails yourself. In AnyRail, use the flex track that comes with the library.

This kind of track is not easy to use, and very different from sectional track.
