Are PointForm tools scale specific?
No. Each PointForm tool will work with a range of rail sizes. The scale the tool is being used for is irrelevant.
Are the PC Board Ties copper plated on both sides of the tie?

Can I build straight and curved track with TwistTies?

Can I get a single page version of a template?
The Printable Tie Templates were created in a series of projects over the years, and some are newer versions than others. The latest versions will usually have a single-page version available to fit standard paper sizes. The largest paper size we produce templates for is 11"x17" (A3 paper = 297 x 420 millimeters)
