Re: What is a "small layout"

Ken Howard #27261 开云体育 Charles, not the same thing. Usually know as blade and mate, the blade is a casting and shaped so it can direct the tram to either route. The blade only moves about 75 to 100mm and the mate has no moving parts. This is a photo of one in Melbourne. We have several in use at our museum but I don't have a photo to hand. The other one you describe was called a stub switch.

And still are where such track exists.? Have seen pictures of underground mine tracks where one movable rail was pivoted at the “frog” point and the free end moved totally from one running rail to the other. Obviously only possible with very light rail. And short lightweight equipment.? Charles
