Depot is to the left; the photographer is standing on the turntable lead. Nothing special with regard to the turnouts.
Looks like maybe two #8's or #10's (left and right) facing point to each other. Both switches are lined for their turnouts. This isn't a form of "slip" switch, but such close proximity of facing points is not seen very often.
It does look like an arrangement that would be rife for operating problems without a highly skilled track gang on duty. As such, it seems suitable for the type of track work that I’d do in 1:87.
Might just take you up on that. I'm using Microengineering's code 83 HO scale rail height. Send me a PM for what you need from me, Keith.
Because of it's position in the operations at Seligman, it never saw much in the way of speed. There was a local track gang located here too.
