Was just about to ask a question about these, and saw this thread from 5 years ago in the search.Anyone have any more recent feedback on these?
I have 60 Code 55 turnouts installed all from the new molds. I have had no problems with them and have been using most for over a year. I have shimmed some with styrene but have not had to file any. I do not have any curved but i have #5, #7 and #10 that just came in and all work well. I use side switches to operate the turnout and to power the frog.
Jeff, I would be grateful if you could indulge my curiosity here. Would you mind putting the NMRA Gauge notches on someof your turnouts, all along the point rails, to see if there are any narrow spots where the gauge can't fit between the rails?I have mostly #7's so that's what would interest me personally, but I welcome tests on any or all you are will to do.I am asking because I am curious if these work for you because you may not happen run long steam, or ifyou really got a big batch of turnouts that were all in gauge through the points (while all 25 or so of mine were not!)Mine mostly looked like this (note how the notches cannot fit between the rails on this brand new out-of-the-package#7.
