Fast Tracks

Hi ppl,great site you have here,can anyone tell me the best way to go about building N/Nn3 points please?I'am looking at buying a Z/Nn3 point kit,but this will depend on what the experts come up with TIA.

Hello Drgwnut,

You are a sucker for punishment aren't you? dual gauge in N? ouch! but anyway I would think the fast tracks jigs would be the best way to do this, they are a pain in any scale let alone N. I would try pivoting points using wire. Primarily because you have to bend three rails instead of two. But I think our resident hosts have more experience with this. and bow to their expertese.

We have produced some #6 N/Nn3 fixtures in code 40. They are an "advanced" piece of work, but much easier than building from scratch!

These can be done with solid switch points, as they are long enough to flex, with a little more effort, they can be hinged as well.

Constructing a dual gauge turnout with a fixture isn't much more difficult than a regular turnout, but will require much more time and patience. I find I can build a dual gauge turnout in about 3 hours.

drgwnut,
unless you're experienced...and have good skills...
the easiest way to construct a dual gauge TO for N/Nn3 would probably be via the fast tracks jig.
