I noticed when looking up elbow crossings in David Smiths' book on page 45 Fig 26, that the GW used a sort of guard rail outside the moveable switches.  Since my proposed loft layout has two switched diamonds, that are also double slips, I thought I'd have a go at fabricating them in Templot using partial templates.  Here is the result drawn using a crossing rail suitable shortened.  It is placed using F7 and then F8 manipulate it into position, just keep swapping the control end.  That does for the straight one, (not shewn) but to get curved ones correctly fitted needed F6 of course and Control F10 to get the curve to fit snugly.

Not the problem I thought it was going to be.

Regards

Raymond
