Ed, Gary, et. al. I agree with the philosophy of sharing. And I think there are actually a number of "scale" modelers on this list. I am one, and I know of others.
Unfortunately I would be of no use in this sharing venture. I am using code 70 rail in S scale for 60 lb rail of 1880 vintage. Nor do I have a need for any slip switches. I have scratch built several turnouts without templates and am comfortable enough with the method to feel I don't need such. I would urge any scale modelers on this list who might be interested to speak up. It's gotta be easier to build a slip switch with a great template than to try to do it without, and the price is right.
