Pictures of gaunt turnouts don't come up very often -- this one was posted on RMweb recently: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/92091-some-very-fundamental-questions/#entry1649022 Thanks to Jonathan. Here are some cab views of the gauntletted bullhead track on the Boyne viaduct at Drogheda in Ireland. When this bridge was rebuilt in the 1930s it was no longer wide enough for the original double tracks, so they were gauntletted together. I took these pictures on 5th September 1986. The track on the bridge is now ordinary flat-bottom single track for the sake of using standard modern equipment. 2_080030_460000000.jpg  © Martin Wynne 2_080030_460000001.jpg  © Martin Wynne 2_080030_460000002.jpg  © Martin Wynne Gauntletted track is quite a rare beast. The main reason for including gaunt turnouts in Templot is because they come in very handy as a source of partial templates in complex formations. See the template > gaunt options > ? gaunt - help menu item. Here is a nice pic of the Boyne viaduct: Boyne_Viaduct_-_geograph.org.uk_-_312368.jpg  Boyne Viaduct - geograph.org.uk - 312368 (CC-BY-SA-2.0 by Wilson Adams, from Wikimedia Commons) regards, Martin. |

There is/was some on a couple of the viaducts west of Liskeard. it was easy to see from DMU's if you were at the front or the back and the cab blinds were up. Phil |
