I wonder if there's an english word for this? It is to derail runaway cars to prevent them from entering a main line. In swedish it is called "Spårspärr" I need to know a good name that I can use on my railway site :) Mr Bobjörk |
Catch points or Trap points.

Definately a DERAILER
Catch points and Trap points are built up using point blades. |
The only places where the Swedish 'de-railers' are to be found in the UK would be Depot or Shed roads. I do not of any however which are integrated into the signalling system.

Derailer...thats what we call 'em here, a version of that anyway.
Not catch points. No point switches...no points. Cheers, SBJ |
You will find a derailer at Grosmont Station on the NYMR in the carriage siding at the north end of the station.
It is released by ground frame through a rodding connection. It is quite likely this will be replaced by a signal box connection when the ex Scarborough gantry is installed this winter. |
From what I have been told, those traps work very well as a rake of coaches bled off and went through the traps onto the muck. The Guard forgot to scotch the coaches.
Seems like an everyday event of toy town railways. |
