Am planning a new HO scale layout, after about forty years away from this hobby. Can anyone direct me to a source of templates for turnouts? This layout will be in about a four foot by eight foot open grid frame in a spare bedroom. I envisage a point-to point plan, with a reverse loop at each end, with perhaps a few sidings here and there. Also: Has anyone used what I can only describe as a "spring-loaded" turnout? (i.e., the locomotive can only take the right-hand turnout, but the wheel flanges can force [after traversing the loop] the locomotive to re-enter the main line from the left-hand side of the turnout?) There's gotta be a better name for this turnout! Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks -- -- Dave
