This question is about prototype track formations rather than how we might build layouts in model form.
The subject is double slips with crossing angles of 1:6 for the LNER, that is, a formation designed and built by the LNER rather than something inherited from a pre-grouping company. Does such a beast feature in the standard works on the full-size railway, for example publications by the Permanent Way Institute. If such an item does fit into real-world track laying, what could be answers to these questions:-
1/ what size/type of switch is used with 1:6 crossings?
2/ where might the LNER have used 1:6 double slips?
thank you, Graham
