SMP track questions

[Julia]

I am looking at the SMP point kits and have a few questions:

 

i) What is the radius of the single slip kits?

 

ii) What is the frog angle of the 60" radius points?

 

Thanks

I have no idea what's in the point kit but an A5.5 turnout has a substitution radius of 60.43" so I would expect the kit has a 1:5.5 crossing nose.

According to their web site the double slip is 54" radius, I strongly suspect the single slip is effectively the same kit.

From memory the plan they used to enclose has the single slip, double slip and the diamond crossover all on the same sheet

Having read the link I posted properly , there is indeed a 36" radius kit for single/double/diamond as well, as you say.

Its possible to adjust point geometry quite a bit. So one manufactures kits may not correspond with the BR standard B6 point etc. There can also be differences as to whether the crossing is straignt or curved i.e is there a straight section through the crossing or does the curve continue through. You are not always comparing like with like.
