Where can I get a hold of the plastic track planning template. I saw an image of one possibly sold by CTT.
Markings on the bottom right corner are;
2002 CTT, INC
Dallas Tx
Part No. 1000

I would post in the wanted-to-buy section as they are no longer made, the owner of CT&T passed away some years ago.
here's a good close-up photo. maybe you can do something with it. It clearly shows it's 1:12 scale. Match the ruler at the top for 1:1. Notice the O72 with a 36" radius is 3 inches in the top left quadrant.(1:12)

Thanks Carl. I already made a copy on my printer. It came out slightly less than 1:12 scale, more like 7/8" to the foot. I was going to laminate it to a piece of thin plastic or cardboard and painfully cut it out with my Xacto knife. Or, on second thought, maybe I can adjust the size on the printer.
On third thought, I'm going to take Rob's advice and post it in the wanted section.

Dan,
Yeah, I thought that would be a pain. Someone has one that they only used once. You'll need some big paper to use this.
So, you really don't like the computer apps?

I've tried messing around with Railmodeller Express and don't like it. In an earlier life I was a draftsman. You know, paper and pencil. For me, it's so much quicker and simpler than doing it with a computer.
Perhaps some luck - call these guys in couple of hours. They may still have one.
A little more extreme vetting turned this up.

I drafted early circuit boards for field manuals and taped 1:1 for the trace application masters in the manufacturing process. (circa 1974) My favorite toy was the LeRoy pens.
I see, you are on a mac. RM isn't too bad. I can convert lines and scribbles on paper fairly quickly to track with a photo and some dimensions., if you get in jam. Email me if you ever need something.
Dan,
Hold off on buying that template for the moment.
I maybe able to help you. I will know by the morning.
