Your only option may be to purchase one of each and make your own templates.

Yep, I'm with NZRMac. Then, you can print them out fullsize. That's what I've done with the RTS program from Atlas. After printing them out, I glue or tape them into place, then I can see how it will look. I actually leave them in place and lay the turnout in place using the template as a guide.

I use Peco code 100. They have a special template sheet for these turnouts so I would expect that they would have one for the new 83 as well. I would contact them in the UK via their web site and ask about it. http://www.peco-uk.com/products.htm

They may even be able to send it as a PDF
