Whiteoak Models is the company name used by Kelvin White of Oxford, England.
He purchases them from an English company (forgot name) that primarily makes HO
turnouts. I think Kelvin paid for the upfront design and tooling costs. These
turnouts are very precise, rails soldered to circuit board ties, accurately
gauged, razor sharp points and frogs, and with continuously curved closure
rails which make it easier for long wheelbased steam locos to run through them
smoothly. Really nice. Downsides: ties have no woodgrain or knots. Cannot
adjust rails/gauge easily (no spikes). Tom Hawley used to be the USA dealer
for them. Good luck...Ed L.
