Since I model in HO and HOn3, can a dual gauge jig be used for just one or the other?

Hi,

Our dual gauge fixtures are one of the most versatile tools we offer, as they can be used to produce either standard gauge turnouts, narrow gauge turnouts, dual gauge turnouts or any combination of the above.

The narrow gauge turnout produced in this fixture is a bit different than a narrow gauge turnout produced in a fixture specifically for narrow gauge. The lead length (the distance from the frog to the end of the points) is longer to match the standard gauge turnout it is designed to fit into.

We have a separate printable tie template that matches the narrow gauge turnout produced in the dual gauge fixture.

It can be downloaded from our library of printable tie templates, or directly here...
