... angle is flatter than 1:8. As one blade closes the other opens. Are you asking how to build it, or how to do it in Templot? Just start with a turnout flatter than 1:8 on the required curve, say a C-10, and then tools> make slip: 2_120717_440000000.png Being on a curve makes no difference. More about slips in Templot at: http://templot.com/companion/slips.php More information about switch-diamonds (movable K-crossings) in Templot: 2_120732_280000000.png cheers, Martin. posted: 12 May 2020 12:37 from: Jim Guthrie Mike, It would probably be easier to consider the formation as two turnouts back to back and overlapping. That might be an easier way to deal with the curves through the fornation. The diamond crossing is a switched diamond- usually used when the angle of the "K" crossing starts getting too large which can cause flanges to take the wrong road. It looks as though the angle of the "K" crossing in the formation ...

... and diamonds flatter than 1:8 should normally be switch-diamonds with movable K-crossings. The switch blades move across simultaneously in opposition. There is no break in the rail so no need for K-crossing check rails. If you build a 1:10 diamond with fixed K-crossings, you will very likely get mis-tracking and derailments. That's why the prototype doesn't allow them. For wider than scale flangeways such as 00 and EM, derailments are almost certain.

Quite common in flat-bottom, not so much in bullhead. Here's a close-up of the K-crossings: fb_movablek_dslip.jpg pic thanks to Mick Nicholson They are used when the crossing angle is flatter than 1:8. They make a model slip much easier to build, because there is no need to find space for the K-crossing check rails. The downside being you need 2 extra point ...
