Dear Des,
Thank you for your kind words about out #3 switch. But, I would
be remiss if I did not warn those who use code 110 wheels and the use
of a switch as tight as a #3. Slow operation would be needed through
such a tight switch. Also, long cars with body mounted KD style
couplers are also subject to being pulled off the track with such a
tight radius. I won't even go into "S" curves or using a pair of #3s
as a crossover...
As far as a #5, with the economy the way it is and the June 14th
letter from Sanda Kan's parent company I would not look forward to
seeing them in the near future. Fast Tracks does make templates for
our rail and I have made these for both code 110 operations as well as
AF comp. wheelsets (different spacing on the template for the wing
rails, guardrails and "P" dimension of the point rails). At this
time, that is the answer for switches for our rail size. They are
quick, and really work well.
