I was looking for the HOn3 #4 left and right template, but the link leads me to a #4 wye. Can you help?

I just checked and the link on the site seems to be downloading the correct template. Here is a direct download link that should work for you.

Hi Ron,

I followed the link you posted and still got a template for the #4 wye. I don't know what else to do...

What is very interesting is that the HOn3 WYE fixture pages don't even have a #4! Number 4 WYE provides a geometry of divergence at about a #6 or #7 turnout and would be more beneficial in space savings and reliability than a #4 straight leg turnout. A WYE has the same frog to point lead, but the divergence being equilateral, has a gentler curve to an offset 1/2 the straight turnout offset.

I'm also getting a #4 WYE diagram with the HOn3 #4 turnout links.

I see the problem now. I am going to have to get Tim to regenerate the #4 turnout templates from the CAD files. Have left a message on his machine and will update the template as soon as he creates the files.

I have fixed the HOn3 #4 template and you should get the correct one if you try downloading it now. Here is the direct link to the template page:
