Well I see you have produced ever other type of Track But I didn't see Duel Gauge
Straight or Curved I was really hoping for The Duel Gauge versions with the combination sets.
Do you have any plans to make them also?

I would also like a HO/HOn30 straight assembly jig, but it's not terribly urgent.

Just an oversight on our part. There is no reason we can't do dual gauge straight/curved fixtures, but at the moment we are up to our eyeballs in video production, documentation and just catching up with the initial rush of orders for all the new products we released a few weeks back. We will get them onto the site as soon as we are able to.

Great!!! Now I know what I'm getting for Christmas this December.

I'm hoping That you'll produce a combo HOn3 fixture with Main line, Siding and
spir tracks all on the same fixture. I thought I read that you produced a narrow
gauge fixture with all three on it so I'll find out in 7 or 8 weeks when I place my
next order.

With the HO/HOn30 dual gauge straight and curved assembly fixtures, will they be using 1.170" x 0.100" PCB ties 2mm thick? It's just that I'm getting a friend to make some ties here in Melbourne, so I need the correct dimensions before I order them.

The dual gauge fixtures we will offer will actually be HO/HOn3. They will use 2mm ties 1.171x.104.

Ron Warris (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE'))):

So then if I really wanted HO/HOn30 dual gauge fixtures, then I would have to order modified HO fixtures? I'm not too fussed if there's an extra charge involved. After all, there's extra work needed.

We would need to design an HO/HOn30 fixture from the ground up. which would probably be cost prohibitive. Plus at the present time Tim's time is pretty much fully booked and he is not able to take on any additional custom design work right now.

Personally, I would be happy if an HO fixture was made with the extra groove for the 3rd rail. If you're unable to do that, maybe I'll get one modified here in Melbourne.
