What would be the price for standard "O" # 7 and #8 Assembly Fixtures and Point Form Tools (codes 125 and 148)?

Also, what master kit options are there for standard "O" #6 turnouts?

This is an incredible site - I am looking forward to the possibility of forever simplifying "O" turnout fabrication!

Thank you,
John Stoddard

Hi John,

Thanks for the comments about the site, Ron is the talent behind our web presence...

The largest O scale fixture we can currently produce is a #6, anything beyond this size will be too large for our equipment.

We do not produce the "kits" for O scale, only the fixtures and PointForm tools. O scale tie thickness is too thick for our laser to cut, the largest we can do is O scale narrow gauge.

I understand you have issues building jigs for O scale beyone #6. I also understand tomake a jig does take alot of design and effort.

But in my experiance, point making's biggest hurdle is the frog. Get that right, aligned and your turnout will work. Laying track off the frog and to gauge is easier int he larger scale. And after the frog is made, the rest should fall into line.

If one was to make a frog jig for a #8, litereally. Then the user can easily gauge the rest on say a printed template to match your jig.

Of course a full jig is great and love my #7 Ho scale one. Having the full point int he jig is the best possible way to make a point. But a frog jig may be all most need - after all you can use it for either left or right. Especially in "O" and it's size.

If such a frog jig was possible, who would want it?

It looks like they now have frog jigs for soldering frogs only. I agree, get the frog right and the rest of the switch practically fall into place.
