Bill,

 

Thanks for the pictures.  I need to build a half draw at sometime in the future 
for a turntable lead.

Hi all -

 

I have attached a photo of one of my half draws.   A full draw (usually used 
where there is a wye, or some industry requires the narrow gauge car to be on 
the other side compared to the rest of the track) is two of these back to back. 
  Another “pointless” turnout.   

 

As long as I was thinking about track, also attached is a “swing nose frog”, 
the prototype (sort of) of the SHS turnout with the moveable frog point.   The 
real one is located just outside of Omaha and is a high speed turnout with no 
speed restriction other than that of the nearby curve.   The next photo has the 
sign so crews know what they are looking at, plus the track heater and switch 
machine for moving the frog points.

 

Have fun!
Bill Winans
