Irrespective of the setting of the points, the check rail C would
pull a broad-gauge axle around the curve.

Well, it would try to, but wouldn't the point at A try equally hard
to put the wheel on the wrong side of the rail? Or is there something
special about the bit of track on that side too?


Argh, you're right. Fixed points, with a gap where the blade is, works
to split the two gauges, but it doesn't work in conjunction with a
turnout. Back to the drawing board.
