I've toyed with the idea of modifying the points (switches):
By removing a section of the turnout, two points can be placed
turnout-to-turnout while keeping standard track centres and maintaining an
overall length of 3 straights ;-)
...have a play with Track Designer, and get in a situation where two tracks
are at standard centres. Then put two points turnout-to-turnout - they'll
overlap, but it looks like you've got a really tidy junction...
That in turn suggests that specialist curves would be necessary when the
modified points are used stand-alone. The geometry then starts to get
interesting, and could even lead to daimond crossings to match!
On a different track (sorry), doesn't everyone want large radius curves?!?

| I am waiting for ten years now to get automated points, stops and decouplers, as well as new track parts. I am wondering what the train community would like to see as new track parts or automation. I have some examples on brickshelf: (URL) anyone (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)
