What do you see in this picture?

Hello all.
In the picture included, what do you see?


Two turnouts.
A diamond crossing.
Two dubble slips or two single slips??? or??
Two turn outs.

Those turnouts at what radii could they be? 1 metre, 2 metre, 5 metre???? 1 at 5? 1 at 7? 1 at 9?
I know my technical English on this subject is not my strongest point, terribly sorry for this, hence the 1 at x.
I think max speed would be in real life 55 km an hour.
The distance between tracks is centre to centre at minimum 12.5 to max 15 feet (estimate google maps) so that would be 125mm to 150mm in scale one?(just checking)
I found out that i am oke with: one foot is one centimeter in my scale 1:32.
Our track width is 1 meter 43 cm and 5 mm.
So with the turnouts what is your best educated guess? (I really wish i could go there and measure)

Reason i ask, is that i am at the point of making pieces for my Amsterdam cs in Templot, no rush/hurry.
(YES my first piece of Amsterdam cs is going to be real...)

Many thanks for double checking and answering my thoughts/questions.
With best regards Igor

Ps this section of the station remained the same since 1932 hence the questions.
My whole garden railroad will be based on this, many thanks in advance.

It’s a scissor crossover with a double slip replacing one of the exist points/turnouts.

Looks like a challenge to make!

A yellow and blue train with a grey roof, in the "90s Brutalist" style of design.

igor,
take a good look at the lower left corner.

i suspect, that we see there part of a second double-slip, connecting to the rail, with the train on it.

I see a scissors crossover with double slips on the left hand side. overall, it is basically an arrangement which allows any train, in any direction, on any track..... run onto any of the other tracks.

Ooooo it is.
Its going to be well over 4 meter 40.
I am having some trouble to make the double slips(time mostly)
I thought also the slip in the png had to be a single slip(right one)

For safety reasons the NS chanced that into a single slip? but it was always a double slip.

I made my gaps a bit wider btw.


I think that will improve running quality.

Agree with above.

I also have a scissors crossing with a three way point replacing one point, on my layout....
