Hi,

When working with code 55 rail in N scale it is important to ensure there is enough clearance in the frog area.

The best way to do this is to pre-solder the two halves of the frog point together first and place them into the fixture as a completed unit. When placing them in to the fixture, make sure you pull them back in the fixture, to create as much width in the flangeway as possible. This will ensure the clearances are right.

When adding the guard rails, be sure they are spaced as far as the fixture will allow from the stock rail. I do this by holding it in place with a sharp tool while soldering.

Once you get these steps worked out the equipment will work very nicely on the turnouts.

This seems to only effect N scale turnouts built with code 55 rail, and this is due to the odd size of this rail.

Hope this is helpful
