Sometimes when cramped for space in a model we need to have the next switch close to the previous crossing, but it's rare to see it very close on the prototype. This pic at Lincoln appeared recently on RMweb: post-19381-0-05873300-1407934177.jpg Notice just in front of the tender wheels, that the switch toe for the outside slip appears to be on the C timber of the crossing, only just clear of the wing rail. Always useful to have prototype evidence. For a video showing how this is done in Templot, see: topic 2928 Image from: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/18451-peterborough-north/page-248#entry1549853 Martin. |

Am I correct in thinking its an outside slip? Also on the diamond in the bottom right, are some check rails missing? Just looks a bit funny but it might just be me |

Hi John, Yes, it's an outside slip. The diamond looks ok to me. The double slip on the right has an extended wing rail to provide the check rail for the diamond. That's called a "parallel-wing crossing". When modelling such a feature it is important not to use any gauge-widening. Otherwise the wing rail flangeway gap and check rail flangeway gap will not match. regards, Martin. |

The slip on the right in the sidings is a wonderful example of how a slip is arranged to provide trapping for sidings. :-) :-) | ||
