After mulling over the pros and cons I began installing an atlas double slip switch in place of 2 GG right hand turnouts. The complexity of the double slip should add a fascinating point of interest. A third right hand turnout directly connected to it is also being upgraded with an atlas #5. As of this morning everything is levelled and fastened down. Next comes the installation and wiring of under the table switch machines along with the special electrical connections needed to reverse polarity on closer rails. Only then can testing begin to determine if each engine in the roster can negotiate the turnout without incident. Fingers crossed!
