Slide the template until the blade tips on one clear the check rails on the other. CTRL+V Over to you to sort out the timbering.  Above is for 091c. regards, Martin. |

To be a proper Barry Slip the Vees should line up as if it were a normal diamond. So add a length of straight to one of the diverging roads, extend it backwards and then slide the second turnout so that its diverging road coincides with the extend straight. | ||

Then change each half-diamond to a turnout. On each one, increase the crossing entry straight ( action > mouse actions: real > adjust V-crossing entry straight menu item) to reduce the lead length until the switch tips clear the opposite check rails. Put the peg on CTRL-6 first. On a 1:6 Barry slip, change to A switches rather than B. Operationally there is no reason for the crossings to line up. It would be the case only where a Barry slip was used as a renewal for a previous full double slip. regards, Martin. |

p.s. Richard, Your Barry slip has the switch blades opening in the knuckle and behind the check rails.  |

Your slip road appears to be a little out, it simply repeating the diamond route at present. Easy mistake to make. regards Raymond |
