Completa el segundo paso moviendo el ratón hasta el extremo derecho correspondiente del desvío y pulsando sobre él. De esta forma, la sección de vía recta abandonará su lugar y se desplazará automáticamente hasta unirse con el desvío.
**Nota importante :** Observa que la función Unir no tiene nada que ver con la que te permite extender o prolongar una vía. Mientras que con la primera lo que haces es desplazar una sección para que conecte con otra, con la segunda el programa 'inventará' un tramo de vía para llenar el vacío existente y sin desplazar ninguna de las piezas de los extremos. Si a la hora de unir te ha ocurrido precisamente esto, lo más probable es que no pulsases la tecla Shift para indicar al programa que querías unir las secciones de vía pero no extenderlas. Sigue leyendo más abajo para ver cómo funciona la herramienta Prolongar.

====Instala un desvío a derechas====
Para instalar un desvío, pincha en el carrusel el "Atlas #851, Right Snap Switch" y arrástralo hacia el plano de la maqueta, acercándolo hacia el lugar en el que acabas de abrir un hueco eliminando dos piezas rectas, y aproxímalo al extremo de la curva hasta que se junte con ella.
Nuestra intención es abrir un apartadero hacia el interior del óvalo o, lo que es lo mismo: hacia la derecha para trenes circulando en el sentido de las agujas del reloj, así que asegúrate de que el desvío apunta como en la imagen. Si no es así, ya sabes lo que tienes que hacer: mantén pulsada la tecla mientras pulsas el botón derecho del ratón, y el desvío se irá montando conforme a las tres posibilidades (una por cada extremo).
Una vez que el desvío esté en su posición -alineado en recta de izquierda a derecha y con la parte curva apuntando hacia el centro de la maqueta-, pulsa la barra espaciadora para fijarlo en su posición.

====Re-connect Straight Track====
Pick the "Select" Tool by using the Change/Select function from the Menu Bar, the "Select objects" button from the Tool Bar or the shortcut keys. Move the cursor over top of one of the three sections of straight track located along the upper edge of the Main window. While holding the cursor over this track section, press and hold the shift key then click the left mouse button. Completing this action causes the three sections of straight track to become highlighted in red. If something other then this section of track highlights when the "Select objects" command is issued, review your actions as this indicates one of the previous steps wasn't completed correctly.

Move the cursor over top of the left most end of the straight track located along the upper edge of the Main window. While holding the cursor in this position, press and hold the shift key then click the left mouse button. Completing this action causes a red circle to appear at the left end of the straight track and the phrase "Click on an unselected End-Point" to appear in the status bar.

Complete the second step of the Join function by moving the cursor over the end-point of the right hand turnout and while holding the cursor in that position, clicking the left mouse button. This action causes the straight section of track to move from it's previous location and become joined with the turnout.

The room size of this layout is set at 48" x 96" (4' x 8'). The layout as it exists presently has an overall dimension of 45" x 85.5". If a 2" border is maintained between the left edge of the room and the left edge of the layout, then there's sufficient room to add at least another 6" of running length without compromising a similar border on the right side of the layout.
Select an "Atlas #822, 6” Straight" track on the Hotbar. Drag the track from the Hotbar to the layout, placing it next to the "Atlas #821, 9” Straight" track that's positioned along the upper edge of the Main Window. Once the track is in position, press the space bar to fix the track in position.

In order to bring the siding into parallel alignment with the mainline, it will be necessary to place two short pieces of 18” 10D curved track next to the diverging leg of the "Atlas #850, Left Snap Switch".
Select the "Atlas #835, 18” 10D Curved" track from the Hotbar, drag it to the layout and place it next to the diverging leg of the "Atlas #850, Left Snap Switch". The section of track should snap into place as it's dragged closer to the end of the turnout. If the track section curves the wrong way, simply hold the shift key then click on the track section with the left mouse key. Once the track is oriented correctly, press the space bar to fix the track in position. Add a second piece of track to complete this step of the exercise.
@@{{image alt="Add Return" url="images/AddSiding/AddReturn01.PNG"}}@@
====Complete the Siding====
The open end-points within the siding will be joined using flex track rather than sectional track.
Because of the limited space for the curve, easements must be turned off. Look at the 'Easement' button on the Tool Bar. It should display 'Easement None'. If this is not the case open the Easement Menu dialog by either, clicking the Easement button in the Tool Bar, Selecting Options/Easements in the Menu Bar or typing Ctrl+Alt+E, and select 'None'.
Flex track is added by using the "Change/Join" function from the Menu Bar, the "Join two tracks" button from the Tool Bar or the command. Click on the end-point of the "Atlas #835, 18” 10D Curved" track located on the right side of the layout. A red dot will appear once this point is selected.

Move the cursor over the diverging end of the "Atlas #851, Right Snap Switch" then click the left mouse button. While holding the left mouse button, slowly move the mouse left and/or right to adjust the radius of the curve that develops until a desired radius is obtained. The radius is displayed in the status line, which is on the lower edge of Main Window. In this example, a radius of 16.912 inches will be set once the left mouse button is released. Release the mouse button once the desired radius is obtained.
