Walthers Shinohara #7.5 and #8 XtrkCad Measurements

[Tom Bryant_MR]

I've seen some posts where questions are posed about the Walther-
Shinohara #7.5 and #8 curved turnouts and that they do not exist in
the default parameters files for XtrkCad 3.1.4.

I purchased a couple of each and did the measurements, printed out
resulting XtrkCad file and matched the physical TO to the printout
almost exactly.

Here are the measurements so that you can create one using the
turnout designer in XtrkCad.

------------------- #7.5 -------------------------
Length of diverging leg = 15.56
Angle (degrees) of diverging leg = 37.000
Offset of diverging leg = 5.38

Length of passing leg (really curved) = 16.50
Angle (degrees)of passing leg = 33.000
Offset of passing leg = 4.38

-------------------- # 8 -------------------------
Length of diverging leg = 17.63
Angle (degrees) of diverging leg = 35.000
Offset of diverging leg = 5.75

Length of passing leg (really curved) = 18.25
Angle (degrees)of passing leg = 27.000
Offset of passing leg = 4.63

Hope this helps someone.
