... just fine, thanks... posted: 16 Apr 2012 23:08 from: Nigel Brown Fascinating bit of track there at Three Cocks junction, Martin. Just cries out to be built! Cheers nigel posted: 17 Apr 2012 10:56 from: Godwinpa John has identified the inevitable exception to thr ule. The late Cyril Freezer would have put this into his "prototype for everything department". The Victorians went to great lengths to avoid facing points. See this example from Braintree (Essesx) from 1910: 2399_170555_330000000.jpg Regards, Paul Godwin posted: 17 Apr 2012 13:08 from: allanferguson Godwinpa wrote: Howard, Now you know what a single slip is, I would add that single slips in UK main lines are traditionally only used in the trailing direction. That is that no approaching train on the mainline could suffer a change of direction as a result of the slip switch being set incorrectly. So on Martins diagram, mainline trains would be permissible running on the horizontal track from the right to the left, but not left ...
... the V-crossing more or less to my satisfaction, by using various rails from two different half-diamonds, so I guess I'll have to plough on that way, fiddly as it is. Alternatively I could just draw them all in by hand, or even just build the bloody thing using gauges and bits of rail that look about the right length....

You can probably create the far half-diamond using make diamond-crossing at intersection, but for the near one you will need to shorten it to little more than the K-crossings. You may find that adjusting the V-crossing angle on that (F9 mouse action), and possibly changing the hand, may help. Or not. It's ...
