Regarding trap points, from my own observations, it would seem that generally, the point rails straddle about 6 or 7 timbers from point tip to the end of the rail, which as you say would make the actual switch a 12ft length version approx, since LNWR generally used 2ft 6ins at centres of timbers. As stated, this is only a generalisation, as different sites dictated what length of trap needed to be used for the specific requirement. Hope this helps. All the best, Brian Nicholls. 1853_201035_020000000.png posted: 20 Jun 2011 17:40 from: geoff Hi Brian, Very kind. Thank you.
