Double slip?

[petercharlesfagg]

If you fancy having a shot at some of the peco ones on your layout Peter, then fear not.  I have 2 on mine, and they seem to work fine - I've got them installed to be operated manually (as in, i just lean over and push the lever) and I've got surface mounted switches wired in to swap the polarity around.  They help greatly to smooth out curves in yards or station aproaches as they are so much shorter than the operating equivalent of two points set back to back.
One day I will do some scenic stuff and get the switches hidden!

Thankyou Donald but I had no intention of using them on my layout, I was just intrigued as to what they were!

My thanks to everyone who has responded it has proved to be an interesting question with equally interesting answers!

Regards, Peter.
