AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE ALSO INTRODUCED SOME NEAR SCALE "EASY" "N" RAIL JOINERS THAT CAN TRANSFORM THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR EXISTING AND NEW TRACK.



AND OF COURSE, WE HAVE JUST MADE "N" SCALED VERSIONS OF OUR FAMOUS, PROPERLY ACCURATE AND DETAILED, FREE TURNOUT TEMPLATES AVAILABLE.



AMAZINGLY ALL THE PARTS ABOVE ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN Z SCALE VERSIONS, INCLUDING PRE-FORMED, CNC POINTS THAT ARE TOO SMALL TO SHOW.

COMPLETE CRAFTSMAN KITS OF PARTS FOR TURNOUTS (WITHOUT TIE PLATES) HAVE NOW BEEN ADDED BELOW.
These cover turnout sizes #4 thru #10. However, please note we currently only offer turnout diagrams and Tie framer jigs for turnout sizes 6,7,8,and 10.

NOW EVERYONE HAS THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE TO USE INEXPENSIVE BULK TIE PACKS, YET CREATE SUPERBLY ACCURATE WOOD AND PCB TIES BASES FOR THEIR HAND LAID TURNOUTS!

See below for ordering.

So, with all these new parts ready, we will shortly also introduce complete turnout building kits and some more helpful inexpensive tools to assist in their construction. As with our World Renown HO kits, these will be quick and easy to build using mostly just some modern instant adhesives such as ACC, without needing any awkward and skillful, miniature construction soldering.



For those really into the finest details, we have a range of exact prototypical N Scale tieplates for both plain track and turnouts. However currently we only recommend trying these if you are a dedicated and determined scratch builder.

They have the major advantage that no cutting away of the ties underneath is required. And they will join rails of different sizes. Thin Flat Stainless Steel rail end aligners that slide onto the rail web and sit flat on the rail base. Providing the rail ends are well matched and not under significant tension, these much less obtrusive "joiners" will hold the two rail heads in near perfect alignment for smooth reliable running of Wheelsets. They will still however allow for expansion rail end movement. These rail aligners are designed to be the correct scale length for N, and fit and look well on code 55 and code 40 rails. For best closed rail joint appearance, we suggest removing about 1/50" of the rail end base and lower web from each rail end, with a file or dremel cutting disk, before installation, to accommodate the center cross bar. Supplied and priced in packs of 30 joiners. $3.95 N THROW BAR/POINT HINGE COMBO N THROW BAR SETS include prototypically accurate working double throw bars and prototypically accurate working Loose Heel Point Hinges. The sets are specially engineering designed to work reliably and almost indefinitely, without needing stressed soldered joints, added pivot bearings, or maintenance/adjustments. N THROW BAR SETS are now offered in Nickel Silver solderable material and come with two undrilled oversize pieces of copper laminate base bar material, a one time drilling jig to accurately position the rod mounting holes and may be customized to be used without drilled holes in the points and for any type of point rail that can be soldered. See the help pages for full details applications. Note that successful click-free use with code 40 rail may require suitable shallow flange wheelsets. $1.99 Quantity: Precision Milled, Stainless Steel Spikes HO Near Scale ( N and Z usable) These exceptionally accurate and realistic spikes are precision milled from "half-hard" stainless steel sheet to a far more accurate and realistic shape than traditional, way over scale, bent wire spikes.
