True Jim,
These were called "spring rail frogs" and are in use even on the "sharp" #7
sidings at the grain bins here in town pro
Ken,
Nice work. Some of the waxes used in RP can be smoothed with a mist of
isopropyl alcohol. That should reduce any of the edge effects caused by the RP
process. The problem is that it would leave too smooth of a surface. I've been
thinking along the same lines concerning the mastering of pa
Dave,
I have sixteen foot radius curves. I used #8 frog switches. They work
out to be about the same curve.
I believe that on prototype railroads the max speed through the
diverting route is twice the frog # in MPH. So a #12 switch will give
you about 24 MPH. That is why they are going to #20

I've been told it's best to get the final shrink allowance from the
people who will do your final molds and waxes.

Harry,
Solidwork models can be output in many formats including .stl, which is the
most common for use in rapid prototyping and cad/cam applications.
I will be doing some research into having the model "printed" dirctly in
wax. I am not sure of the the quality of the surface finish and of the cos

Nice job. Bring me up to date, can this file then be taken directly to

Very interested in your point Pete, or should I type "points"? Any pictures
of this type of turnout?

Just remember that most prototype turnouts above #16 have frogs that close
off the "unselected" route by moving the closure rail against the point.
This is functionally equivalent to the old HO Tru-Scale switches, (still
available in HO,S, and O). In fact, their current catolog lists #24s in
16 matches
