Hi all,
I think we could help FT by stating what we would like to find in their product list; let me begin with the following HO (of course...) requests:

n.5 3-way turnout fixture;
n.5 double crossover fixture (surely useful for european layouts);
22.93 degrees crossing fixture (double n.5 angle);
n. 4.5 double slip fixture;
n. 9 double slip fixture (in european real railways is the standard minimum);
n. 9 double crossover fixture (see above).

Any further suggestion?

Hi all,
I think that some more curved turnout fixtures with outside radius of 28 and 26 inches could help in building mid-size turnouts.

If my very rough interpolations are right, n.6 frogs should have an approximate inner radius of, respectively, 20 and 19 inches, while n. 8 should have 22 and 21.

Furtherly, since it is completely out of the market as far as I know, a fixture for the "good old" 22-18 inches curved turnout could be very useful too.

Having fixture for large radius turnouts are fine, but I think that space saving curved turnouts find a better reason to be in small and mid-sized layouts.

I just wish Tim would finish and release the flex track jigs, I am glad the new barn is about done.

Maybe Santa will bring us some new stuff. :P
