Hi
I am doing the timber shoving for a crossover with one turnout and a single slip on a gentle curve. I am following early C20th GWR practice. As I understand it compounds used equalised timbering and generally turnouts used square-on timbering.
My question is, would the GWR also have used equalised on the turnout in this situation. I have had a go at combining square-on and equalised timbering, but would like to know if this would have been the probable practice of the time.
Regards
Graham
