English Turnouts

Post by Atlanta »

English Turnouts are known in central, continental europe as double slip (diamond) crossings with inside the diamond built slips.
It has 4 turnout levers but mostly two of them combined be mechnismn, so that in ground position the directly crossing is possible to use und onto diverging route the outer ways are possible to use without crossing the other lines.
