... preferred ways of replicating the effect of the loose heel. Prototypically it isn't a true "pivot" in the sense of a round pin or shaft rotating in a circular housing on a fixed centre. But that is a common way of modelling them, soldering the end of the switch rail to a pin or screw head which can rotate. cheers, Martin. posted: 15 Feb 2019 17:18 from: Martin Wynne Here's a pic of a GWR loose-heel switch rail, as a single catch* point. 2_151216_430000000.jpg *please don't anyone say it's a trap point. We've been through that a dozen times. It's functioning as a trap, but the physical object is called a catch point. Many different track formations can function as a trap.
