blockhead actually y45deg is symmetrical
Line 14: Line 14:
 Advtrains track is available in rotations of 0°, 30°, 45° and 60° from the axis - approximately. The actual underlying system is that there is a track that travels 2 metres along one axis to every metre on the other axis, as well as 1:1 and only along the axis. Using trigonometry reveals the actual angles to be asin(1/2) ≈ 26° and atan(2) ≈ 63°. But the numbers 0, 30, 45 and 60 are always used to refer to those rotations. Advtrains track is available in rotations of 0°, 30°, 45° and 60° from the axis - approximately.

-You will notice that since there is no constant difference of angle on the turnouts, that the rotations of the Y-turnouts that aren't axis-aligned are not symmetrical. See the below picture.+You will notice that since there is no constant difference of angle on the turnouts, that the 30° and 60° rotations of the Y-turnouts are not symmetrical.
