Totally unrealistic. It looks to me like a normal if economical way of protecting the running line where any shunting of the siding is done from the running line. A double slip would, I think, only be provided here if it was necessary to provide a headshunt for shunting of the sidings to be done with the loco clear of the running line. Looking at the 1934 OS 25" map on the NLS site, when these sidings were the station goods yard, Northenden Junction signal box was at the far end of the station, so I suspect the points are operated by a ground frame - which would be consistent with the layout of the point rodding seen. Release of the ground frame from the box would lock the running line signals. Edited June 22, 2021 by Compound2632 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same trap arrangement at Carlisle, the exit from Collier Lane sidings. Both traps seen here at the bottom left, this is also the exit on to a running line from platform 6 to Newcastle. Bottom left again, these are on our EM model but it is built exactly to scale - it was fun getting them to work as well... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 4069 Posted June 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 22, 2021 That's a very ordinary, very common design of trap points. Just one that Peco haven't made yet 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the luggage van was a non-prototypical livery like NR yellow, or bright red, it would be looking very much like a Hornby Railroad train pack 12 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a runaway occurred in the sidings towards the main line, a vehicle on the outer track in the photo would end up with one wheel outside the rails so will come to a stop; something on the inner track however would end up with its wheels still inside converging rails which, if it the vehicle went far enough, could end up re-railing it. Would a vehicle just not roll that far when off the rails? Is there some other mechanism that would stop it? Would it not re-rail itself when the rails converge but just stop / fall over / crumple in on itself? Is it theoretically possible it could re-rail itself but considered unlikely enough that the risk that isn't worth addressing further? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
