Hi,
what types of turnouts are common on mainlines and harbour sidings?
#4, #5, #6, #7 and so on.
I would like to ask http://www.handlaidtrack.com/ for Turnout Assembly Fixtures, Twist Ties, PointForm Filing Jig in TT.
Additional question: common tie dimension and distances between them?
Thanks for your help.
Carsten

I ask him about making TT jigs about two months ago and he said he was not interested. I hope you can change his mind because I intend to do my layout in No 8 and No 10 turnouts. By the way, are you the same Carsten who made the GP-9B and chopnose 9 on the other board?

I'd love to know what the issue is with the manufacture of items for TT, even though I take my hat off to various Manufacturers whom we know are producing some incredible stuff, there seems to be a trend of disregard toward TT as a possible line by many manufacturers as well as pure ignorance toward it. Being possibly the only True TT scale Modeler in South Africa, as 12mm Track is used here by the 009 modelers (narrow gauge) For me TT has been an Ideal Gauge and still is.

I'd love to see other manufacturers begin offering products for TT and those involved in the industry like those owning model shops to add it as a suggestion in between the other common scales. The "hand laid track" website offers products in nearly every model Scale ever been produced, yet no TT... and it's things like this I feel as Fellow TT'ers we need to correct, I think one or two people placing a query might not create major interest,yet if it's in great numbers it may be possible to begin making changes.
