the saying is there are no dumb questions, but this may break that rule. Are there any real world examples of a railroad using something like a sector plate to access storage tracks? Something like where space was a consideration or some other reason. I know these are used in the modeling world and are usually hidden from view but a brief discussion at the LHS triggered the question, the guy behind the counter offered that perhaps narrow gauge RR's might have resorted to this method. Anyway, sorry for the dumb question but given the reach of the forum you never know.
