Quick question and apologies if its been raised before, but i couldnt find anything via the search.
I will be building a B9 double slip for my new P4 layout and the full track plan has been built in Templot.
On the plan i printed out, it shows the double slip (attached extract). One thing i am puzzled by is the location of the switch blades (circled). It looks like it is requiring the stock rails to be planed which looks like they are now a switch blade but located on the outside and linked to the inner blade via 2 seperate tiebars?
Am i looking at it completely wrong? Or misunderstanding how a d/s works?
I have only built one point to date, so very much a novice so please excuse my ignorance. I am used to Peco d/s which have both sets of switch blades inside the stock rails.
Thank you
Ian
