Hi Doubledaz, I responded to mattrain's comment about switch lengths being incorrect:
- I did notice after following my SCARM plan that the Lionel Fastrack switch lengths are incorrect in the track library, which led to me having to deviate from my track plan. Fortunately I was able to make it work with my custom cuts, but it was a bit frustrating to have spent all that time on my track plan only to find that it wasn't fully accurate. I plan on providing feedback/input to the SCARM creator to update the Lionel Fastrack librarynd support!"
Carl then said:
"The switches are correct dimensionally. O31, O36 & O48 work fine right from the box and on SCARM.
O60, O72, & 22.5° cross require the 1 3/8" half-roadbed or no roadbed pieces to be added to the turn-out and the thru on the turnout end of the switch in SCARM. They are not included automatically when those switches or cross is used."
So sounds as if the original poster was in error, and the switch lengths are actually correct in SCARM. He just needs to use the fitter pieces, as discussed above? mattrain can confirm if that is the problem he was seeing.
As far as the 1-3/8 fitter pieces go, to add an O-60, O-72 turnout to your layout with AnyRail, you automatically also add the fitter pieces to the layout, as they come in the box with the turnout. You get two sections with the roadbed trimmed on one side, and one section with no roadbed on either side, just like when opening the box. Lionel_Fastrack_O60
