The trick is to shorten the flare length first, so that the rail length can then be shortened without losing the checking function. This is the absolute minimum Templot allows for a wing rail: 2_180947_240000000.png I think you are going to need something approaching that so that you can get the slip rail further from the K-crossing -- at present it will be almost impossible to maintain a flangeway on the slip rail and fit any K-crossing check rails. Prototypically I think an outside slip at such a short angle is a bit unlikely. Have you considered a half-scissors instead: 2_180954_010000000.png It could be got shorter by moving the switches forward a bit, although not with such a tidy timbering layout. regards ...
