I want to make a 3-way turnout to create more space where I currently have 2 B7s.  Looking back at previous postings regarding what is possible (circa 2005) and having had a go at interlacing 2 B7s I'm not sure that is a permissible combination.  Without spending a lot of time trying out various combinations, does anyone know what combinations in that region (1:6 to 1:8) work?

Regards,

Ian Spalding

Hi Ian,

1:8 + 1:6 usually works quite well. There is one such B8 + A6 in the Samples and examples section:

 topic 29

There is also a video available showing the basics of doing a tandem turnout. Scroll down to 3-way tandem turnouts. That one is a B8 + A7 tandem.

If both angles are the same, it usually means a 3-throw turnout rather than a tandem.

regards,

Martin.
