November issue, page 19 photo

November Trains issue on page 19, the photo in top right of a switch. I’m puzzled by this switch as one rail of the track in the straight direction has no split in it for the flanges of a train coming onto the main. Did the flanges ride up over the rail? I think that would have made one heck of a lot of noise if they did use that switch. I doubt even Foamers like us would like to leave near that switch. With that switch, can a train coming off the straight track exit on that switch or is it just a one way?

…Go back several pages as the subject was discussed at length.

Yes, I’m confused about it too.

As Modelcar noted, here’s the link to the previous thread on the above:

Right now it’s just at the bottom of Page 2.
