[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005</i> <br /><br />Go for it Jetrock. The operation is really fairly simple once you examine and understand them. All they are is two normal turnouts placed on top of one another. The way to look at the situation is which of the 4 paths do you want to use. <br /> <br />Label one end A and B, and the other end 1 and 2. The paths are A1curved one way, B2 curved the other way, B1 straight across one way, and A2 across the other way. That's the logic of the double slip. Two machines to run it, four combinations, piece of cake!!! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Good Evening All: <br /> <br />I use two tortoise machines and one DPDT switch. Hook it up where both tracks are straight and then the two tracks will be curved at the same time. That will give you all four combinations. Trust me it's a piece of cake. <br /> <br />Have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
