[quote user="mbinsewi"] Google Gauntlet track, and you'll see many examples.  There was a dissussion on this a couple years ago in here.  The way I see it, there is a point on each end, to control access to the gauntlet, and the frog is actually on the gauntlet track, allowing the main line train to run through without actually passing over switch with a frog. Mike. <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] Mike, There are only points on the left hand side and on the guantlet itself.  Click on the photo and go to full size.  The reason is to elimiate facing point turnouts on the main line (I read the book referenced) because of concern about high speed trains picking the points.  And you still have to have a frog on the main line no matter what (look carefully there are actually 2 frogs).
