OK, now I have another problem...
I need to know the distence from the beginning of the default length to the beginning of the throwbar.
See below....
In the above illustration, the length from the beginning of the MINIMUM length, the PC board before the throwbar is point A.
The beginning of the thorwbar is point C.
It seems that for all N scale turnouts this length (from A to C) is 3/16" of an inch.
What I need to know is what is the distance from the beginning of the DEFAULT length of the turnout, point D above, to the beginning of the throwbar, point C?
Also is this the same on all N scale turnouts, as it seems to be for the 3/16" measurement above?
Basically, I want to use the Platform Planners and Roadbed, but those are I understand all the default length of the turnouts.
I first want to do some preliminary planning on my PC using some ten-year-old software I have. That's why I need this critical measurement: the distance from the beginning of the default length of the turnouts to the throwbar.
thanks in advance.
(I promise to order some stuff from you guys soon)
