The crossing frog comes as a pre-made casting that simply locates into holes on the base. Also, the kit comes supplied with pre machined switch blades and Tie Bar with pre machined holes for the pins. The switch blades are required to be soldered to the tie bar pins 'in situ' by the kit builder.
Important Information:
PLEASE NOTE: Other items are required to complete! You will need:
• A 25w Soldering Iron with 2mm Chisel Tip
•
Sharp File for filing switch blades and cleaning up rail ends
NOTE: This is a kit that must be assembled and NOT a finished 'ready to lay' turnout. Other components are needed to complete (see above).
A Stock Rail Foot Filing Jig (link above) is needed to filing the foot (bottom) of code 40 Flat Bottom stock rails.
Only recently released models with finer wheels and flanges (models released in the last 10 years) will run on this fine code 40 track system. It is designed to accept stock with a back to back of 7.4mm.
Older rolling stock may need wheels replacing with newer, finer equivalents.
