Nn3 Trackwork
The files these link to are scanned at 300dpi,
and should provide VERY
accurate templates if printed on any printer that prints at 300
dpi.

I have not made this one yet, but they have been done.
This was my very first attempt, from about six
years ago.
It is in use in my staging yard / test track, except for the dual
to single
gauge transfer, which was scrapped after proving to be
impracticle.
The ride through the points is a bit rough, but everything I have
makes
it, except for the Kato Mikado, which hangs up going through
facing
point on both my switches. The guard rails are too close on too
tight
a radius for the long wheelbase. The rest of my switches will be
#6's.
Hopefully that will correct the problem.
My second, better looking, more robust attempt.
#8 curved dual gauge turnout.
Main line on a 16" radius, diverging route on a 12"
One of my #5 switches built to the plans in the
Nn3 Manual.
IMHO, this is a MUCH better template for laying these switches.
My curved dual gauge crossing. The dual gauge
is on an
eleven inch radius, the narrow on a nine.
