Quad Double Slip Double Crossover
4 #6 Double Slip switches with a Double Crossover
Did you follow all that? Great for a passenger yard throat, especially if 4 or 5 are stacked together….

Tim,
I can’t wait to see the Fast Tracks fixture for this one…..
P.S. thoroughly enjoying the Bronx rollercoaster.
Cheers

Can’t. Stop. Drooling.
Has this bit of trackwork ever been used in the prototype in North America? (ie: on either approach to Toronto Union Station?)
Have to admit, the number of tortoises needed to control this would be immense, as would the logic patterns needed to control the routes!
Very sexy trackwork though…

Yes, these are fairly common in passenger terminals. And you are right, there is one at the Toronto Union Station.
Wow, I could use a couple of those beasts! I have a passenger yard throat jutsreaming for them!
Cheers
