Hi, Jonathan, I chatted with you about a year ago regarding MRC decoders in your GN SHS SW-1s. I am curious as to how satisfied you are with your turnouts using SHS rail. I am building a new layout using SHS flex track and Tom's Turnouts. I need more turnouts, and you are aware of the predicament with Tom and the availability and expediency of receiving his turnouts. I want to operate scale and hi-rail so that is the reason why I chose the route that I did. How satisfied are you with the workmanship of the Custom Trax turnouts? Do they match-up well with SHS flex track? Are you operating with both scale and hi-rail flanges, and if so, could you describe the performance? Any input and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Keith Erhart Thank you Doug! I spoke to Custom Trax and he said he would be happy to build me turnouts from my SHS flex. I have to cannibalize the rail from it, but that's the price I have to pay during these times. They can build their turnouts for scale or hi-rail flanges upon request. It was mentioned that in the future Custom Trax may be offering code 125 and code 148 turnouts as well. Very good news IMHO. http://www.custmtrax.com Regards, Jonathan You might investigate Custom Trax. One person in our club had them make his first turnouts, and they came in right on time (1 month), and just as requested. They will build whatever turnout you require, including roadbed and ballast. If you want them made with SHS rail, you will have to supply them the rail, however. We also saw their work at the NTS in Sacramento this summer, as they were displaying there. www.custmtrax.com <<<I have been able to locate 75 pieces of SHS Flex. That's the good news. The bad news (for me) is that I checked with Tom about getting some turnouts built and he is very backed up (good for Tom) and won't be taking any new orders for a while.>>> Doug Peck Port Lines Hobby Supply 6 Storeybrooke Drive Newburyport, MA 01950-3408 [email protected] www.portlines.com < http://www.portlines.com%[email protected] > < http://www.portlines.com%[email protected] > Shop Hours - Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays: 2-5 PM (EST). 978-465-8798 1-888-708-0782 (Toll-free; Orders only, please.)
