question re templot

[Timber]

Hi any clues why I cannot insert another point into the inner circle.   If you look the Turnout button is shaded.  Introduced the first point without a problem.   I have looked through significant quantity of training materiakl but not found an answer to this specific issue.   Appreciate that I am doing something silly....

It's because your selected template is already, effectively, a turnout.  Depending on where you want to add the turnout, go to Tools -> Make Split and select either Make Separate Approach Track or Make Separate Exit Track.  You'll then be able to add a turnout in either before or after the existing one.

Thank you for your help appreciated.

 

Couple of new questions.   

 

To join the turnouts to the passing loop is it as simple as joining a piece of straight tracj and creating a curve.

 

Some of my templates have two numbers assigned I think that I have copied them twice.   Does this matter and if it does is there an easy way to clean up?

Sorry lots of questions that I cannot find answers to online.   Any clues as to why the template shows the sleepers but not the rails?
