A new S scale product is now available. "Whazat?", you ask. No mention of advance deposits or the usual blow-by-blow of test shots, pilot models, and so forth. Is this a stealth product or what? Hints: It is made of brass. It will make your layout look nicer. Most layouts will only need a few up front for the rivet counters to salivate over. Being brass, it will not rust. It is a track detail item. Karnes wanted powered turnouts. Here is a simulated powered turnout motor. It is as close as we are going to get at the moment (except for an existing BTS product). The product is a set of nicely detailed brass castings for the US&S A-5 Electropneumatic switch machine and CP valve. It comes in both left hand and right hand versions. John tells me this machine was used from the 1930s right through the end of the so-called transition era. The instructions read: "The air cylinder points to the frog. A pipe from each end of the cylinder goes into the base of the valve. The electrical connection goes into the end of the valve base. 4 ties support the A-5. The sprue gauges the A-5 to the proper position." One photo of the prototype is included. Ask for the TP-508 S scale (specify RH or LH). The maker is: http://www.irishtracklayer.com/ Irish Tracklayer 2682 W. Palo Alto Avenue Fresno, CA 93711-1107 [email protected] Contact John Houlihan directly for photos, price, information and a photo. I do not want a lot of curious emails about this. I have a few and they are quite nice. Not cheap, but nice. I have a few that I will sell at a 33% discount plus postage. First come first serve. Don't mob the door. Only have 6 RH and 6 LH at this time. OFF LIST orders only. "S"incerely..Ed L. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
