HO TURNOUTS

OUR EXPANDED FULL RANGE OF "ULTIMATE", NMRA COMPLIANT AND WARRANTED, HO FROGS

NOW AVAILABLE IN SUPER-DETAILED OLD SYLE BENT RAIL, OR SUPER-DETAILED NEW MANGANESE STYLE.
PICK EXACTLY THE STYLE OF FROG YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR TURNOUTS YOUR WAY!

OUR LATEST, INCREDIBLY ACCURATELY PRECISION MILLED, ULTIMATE HO FROGS ARE THE MOST PROTOTYPICALLY CORRECT, MOST REALISTIC AND THE SMOOTHEST RUNNING FROGS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE.

Ultimate HO Frogs are chemically milled from solid Nickel Silver to exacting accuracy and close to prototypical realism.

THEY ARE EVEN NMRA WARRANTED AND BE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH ALL NMRA HO STANDARDS, ALL REGULAR HO RP25 CODE 110 AND EVEN CODE 88 WHEELS. The special extra "88 safe" design features prevent the widespread, notorious and otherwise inevitable, "bumping" of RP25, code 88 wheels (aka "semi-scale" wheels) and safely and smoothly prevent them from dropping even partly down into the open frog throat

OUR SUPER-DETAIL KITS for the earlier "88-Safe" frogs, with Precision chemically milled etched bolt head sides are now included with our Ultimate frogs, but are still available separately for ANY OTHER FROGS AND IN ALL FROG SIZES (#4 thru #10) and ALL FINE SCALE RAIL CODES (55,70 and 83).

HERE WE SEE A PARTLY FINISHED ULTIMATE FROG EDGE ON, ASSEMBLED BY STACKING THE LAYERS, USING THE STANDARD 1/8" ALIGNMENT HOLES, WITH EITHER GLUE OR SOLDER, AFTER BEING CUT OUT FROM ITS FRAME.

THE SUPER_DETAIL SIDES ARE THEN SIMPLY CUT TO FIT WITH SCISSORS AND GLUED IN PLACE

EVEN WHEN HELD UP IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, THE FINISHED SUPER-DETAILED FROG CONSTRUCTION AND REALISM IS VIRTUALLY INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE PROTOTYPE.

"88-SAFE FROGS ARE UNIQUE IN THAT A WHOLE RANGE FROM #4 THRU #10, IS NOW AVAILABLE IN ALL FINE SCALE RAIL SIZES, INCLUDING CODE 40, 55, 70 AND 83.

PRECISION ,ONE LOAD, GLUE SYRINGE AND NEEDLES
This a small 3 cc plastic, disposable, single Syringe, intended for a single loading with either fluid or gel ACC for model buildiong applications. We have found in practice that a loaded syringe can be used several times over a week or so, with new needles each time, if kept in a domestic refrigerator between uses. Often in that case even the needle would stay unblocked and still be reusable.

The syringe takes separate, replaceable, both fine and extra fine stainless steel blunt needles, for precision gluing of both small and extremely small parts.

$5.95
The syringes and needles are sold separately in packs as below:
