Template for Atlas code 100 curved turnout?
Posted by IDRick on Monday, November 15, 2021 8:19 PM

I'd like to use the atlas code 100 curved turnout in my layout.  But would like to do a test fit using a template.  I can't find one on-line.  Anyone know where I could download a template for this turnout?  Anyone have one they could photocopy and post?  Alternatively, anyone have layout design software with this code 100 curved turnout?  Could you print it out and post?  Thanks!

ADD IN   Atlas has templates but they do show the curved turnout, the one I want...

Way back when I was in the same position I had a turnout in my possession that I took to a copier and made a copy of it. Then trimmed away the excess paper and I had a template.

Then you can whip out as many copies as you need.

After reading your post as I’m stuck to my recliner because of my arthritis I decided to see what I can do on my CAD.



This is a quickie, I imported the picture off the Atlas site then scaled it to the track gauge of .625”.

I over laid the picture with scaled circles to get the radius.

Sorry to hear this Mel.

I am hoping you can get back to normal some time soon.
