For some situations a full transition curve isn't needed, and a plain tangential boundary between two curves or a curve and straight is acceptable. For example within yards and depots.

In the attached plan (which is 4-SF), I have three tracks to the left which are at 50mm centres – these will enter a fiddle yard and represent from top to bottom: an Engineer's siding; a freight arrival/ departure loop (originally the down line); and the current single track branch line (originally ... 2 (the former up through platform); and Platform 1 (a bay platform).

For much of the post-grouping steam era it would be common to see square-on used for main running lines, with older equalized timbered turnouts predominating in yards, sidings and branch lines. (Except on the GWR, where there is evidence of the exact opposite! Early turnout drawings show a square-on style, but when ... flexible switches were introduced in 1930, the drawings show equalized. In many cases it seems simply that the preference of the local relaying inspector was the deciding factor.) There are several factors at work here.

... Hi Dave, I would echo John's comments. Also, the two inner V-crossings on the right are not properly checked -- the two check rails on the diamond roads need extending, as at the left-hand end of the formation. I agree with John that it would make sense to change the upper slip road to a half- ... Since there isn't a 6ft way between the upper and lower roads they can't be used simultaneously and this would complicate the locking significantly. You might see such a thing in a yard as a legacy from some earlier track layout, but this is at the end of the platform and therefore in a passenger line. It looks wrong because it is clearly unnecessary ... would not be possible to construct these with conventional 'A' and 'B' crossing chairs. Re-working the top left to top right connection so as to use two ordinary turnouts rather than combining them into an outside slip might make it easier for you to position the two lower crossings on the right hand side further apart. Then 'A' and 'B ...

You would need a very much longer turnout than C10 to be able to regard the diverging road as a "fast" line. The normal practice would be always to ... station on a curve. With respect to the Terminus, no it doesn't have to be dead straight. I am going to have to pull back the turnout to the 'goods yard' anyway as this will become a Freightliner terminal.

... your box file. Whilst I appreciate that yours is a minimum space project, some of your curves are very tight.
