petejones Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 How does the routing work on a single slipswitch? I have a double one so know how that works. Cheers Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 A single slip is just the same as a double slip but missing one of the curved routes of the double slip. It's no different to a pair of individual turnouts and a diamond crossing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillCav Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Pete, Usually the curved route forms part of a crossover - the point and far end of the slip being operated with the same lever/switch etc. The near end of the slip is then normal on the curved route. To use the diamond part, the near end of the slip is reversed as well ( likely to be part if another crossover). It's a bit difficult to explain in words. Here's a typical scenario Sorry it's upside down! Parallel running on Mains, 1pts and 2pts both normal. To go UM to DM or vice versa, 1pts reverse, 2pts normal Siding exit to DM, 1pts and 2pts both reversed. Hope that helps Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
