Types of Switches for Model Railroad/Railway Tracks
There are two different types geometry for a switch in model railroading.
This difference is important for configuring track layouts:
|
|
|
Switch Type A
Seems to be the easiest way
- needs only one type of straigth track, but ....
|
Switch Type B
Seems to be more difficult
- needs straight tracks of two different length, but ...
|
Switch Type A + Level_Junction
.. here we need level junctions/diamond crossings with tracks of different length!
|
Switch Type B + Level_Junction
... here the level junctions/diamond crossings have tracks with the same length!
|
... so, of which kind of death do we want to die ???
