So one of the programs is wrong

 

 

Ned, as I told you before, it's only the 060 switch or 060 curve. It is a problem with RMP.  RR-Track has been around a long time and SCARM is new on the scene, but both result in the 060 reverse loop needing spacing adjustments.

This is very disheartening.
Might as well finish it sir - make sure the rest of it works - but lets move the turnout for the sloping down line to the front - put the o-72 turnout there and wrap it around to connect - less of a grade and I can see it better. I attached my full attempt so you can see what Im talking about. Adds .5" or so (who knows since this program seems to be flawed ) to the layout - but it greatly reduces the grade.

 

Take heart-The program is not flawed, it has everything else as it should. It's the only software available for mac. The gap that you see is what needs to be compensated for that RMP shows as ok. Let's wait and see when they respond to me. Then we should get to the bottom of it.  Your build is ok. You can finish it.Just don't use anymore 060 switches. Let the r-loops stand as you have them and complete the plan with what you have.

 

Thanks
