... possible for stock to run smoothly over the V. It worked out at nearly 1m long!! The "radius" was about 7m. As for the shortest workable, I haven't tried that yet. posted: 1 Jan 2018 01:02 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roy, If the V-crossing angle is flatter than the switch heel angle, the result is that the turnout road curves back towards the main road. That is sometimes done to gain access to industrial premises close to the line, like this: 2_311930_050000000.png where a normal turnout would be too sharp. 00 wheels would run fine over a 1:50 V-crossing IF (big if) it is accurately built. And if the wheels are wide enough to match the track standard, as in 4-SF (00-SF). The widest gap in a crossing, across just in front of the nose of the vee, is the same in a 1:50 crossing as in a 1:5 crossing, or any angle. The longest conventional turnout ...
... -crossing angle is flatter than the switch heel angle, with the result that the turnout road curves back in the opposite direction towards the main road. But a tandem turnout is still possible. The new 1st turnout turned out to be entirely satisfactory around A-7 in size: 2_201232_320000000.png I don't really know what such a tandem would be used for, but it is certainly possible to create it. Well actually I do -- such turnouts are sometimes used to access lineside industrial premises where a normal turnout won't fit: 2_311930_050000000.png A single-sided tandem would provide access to premises on the other side of the line. The full formation would certainly make a talking-point. Program update 218c will be available shortly. cheers, Martin. posted: 20 Jan 2018 20:22 from: Rob Manchester Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Rob, Reverting to the topic subject, I want to withdraw my suggestion that your B-12 turnout was a daft or unreasonable size. cheers, Martin.
