DXF Turnout Generator German page


Generates a DXF CAD file for turnouts with the given parameters.
3 cases are recognized.
  1. Arc ends before Frog.
  2. Arc ends inside Frog.
  3. Arc ends behind Frog
Cases 2 and 3 will define an arc which goes through or ends inside the frog and the tile layout is kept simple.
For case 1 you can adjust some parameters for the tile layout and it should be understood as a suggestion.
The generator does not check if a turnout is producable. Erroneous parameters will lead to erroneous results.

I do use LibreCAD for constructing. The whole lot here shall give a geometrical correct base for further constructing or designing a turnout.

CODE200_M/P/R stands for CODE200 Tracks from Märklin/Peco/Regner. Data taken from I01, March 2011, Interessengemeinschaft Spur II e.V (Germany)
