I do not know if this has been covered in Templot. I have not seen it in any UK prototype but have seen Continental HO model versions - this one ROCO. There is a common running rail with splayed ends going right down the middle of the double slip. Is there a real prototype of this formation, or is it just a "manufacturers convenience"? |

RogerW wroteIs there a real prototype of this formation, or is it just a "manufacturers convenience"?Hi Roger, It's a double outside-slip of the German Baeseler pattern: 507px-2001-07-19.0004.DKW-Baeseler.jpg This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license Quite common on the continent but not used (as far as I know) in the UK. The outside-slip design allows for a shorter crossing angle at the same radius, for cramped station throats. Or an easier radius for higher speed in running lines. Can be done in Templot with a bit of fiddling about, but not easy to build. cheers, Martin. |

Do you know if anyone has built a model of one? Bernard | ||

Tillig do both HO and 12mm versions. I was asking if any individual model maker had constructed one. Bernard |

Sorry my smiley face didn't show up well... Is it Brian Harrap who makes all sorts of track? I think he's made one. I've certainly seen a couple at European exhibitions. |
