Dick & all
Thankyou for the kind words about the Whiteoak Turnouts - they are available -
if you ask - I confess I haven't ordered any for a while from my supplier so
the price may have gone up. But they ain't cheap and the £/$ ratio is not in
your favour at present.
For those who don't know there was a #8, #6 & #4 LH & RH nothing else - Code 100
FB rail soldered to PC ties as described by Dick. I prefer (almost stipulate)
that you buy a LH and a matching RH. I can take payment by Paypal & US $ check
....So if you are interested please let me have an indication of what pairs you
would order - and I come back with a price and estimate for shipping.
Best regards

PS Jeff must of been hard up for photos ....to use my old photo on the front of
the latest Dispatch - back then I just had that alcove, now I have a whole
garage - its just as untidy!
""White Oak Turnouts -- I am told these are no longer made, but you might find
some available -- maybe from Tom Hawley (who is on this e-list). These, in my
opinion, were the best turnouts ever made for S scale despite some cosmetic
compromises (no spike heads, black ties). Each tie is a strip of PC board. Each
rail segment is soldered to every PC tie it touches. The gauging is perfect. The
PC cladding is properly gapped for regular DC operation (but some alterations in
gapping are required for DCC). The only downside is the installation, and that's
minor. A cardstock shim must be placed beneath each turnout so as to match the
table-top-to-railhead height with Tomalco, Shinohara, and BK turnouts.
