phillyreading balidas, The store you are referring to is Ready To Roll on NW 143 st. in Miami FL. I have been there many times and they stock some Ross Custom Switches. I am not into building my own switches, so that is why I mentioned about Ross switches. Also Ross's height and track profile are closer to 027 track profile than 031. Lee F.

phillyreading Have you tried Ross Custom Switches? Their switches look like Gargraves in rail size and they have a wide selection of switches to choose from. Also the Ross switches will mate to 027 track, very close to same heigth, with just adapter pins. www.rossswitches.com Lee F.

We have a hobby store in N Miami that stocks Ross Switches so I was able to go and stare at them for hours on end. They are beautiful works of art, but felt they were too much for what I want to do, so I decided to build my own.
servoguyI built an O-27 Y many years ago. I still have it. When I get a chance I will post a picture of it along with some O gauge switches I made. It is a simple design. Bruce Baker
I'd like to see them.
I would love to see that. I emailed Reinhart but have not heard from him yet. Still hope to. I checked the Ross switch site. They have a 0-31 Y that will probably work. it shure would look better than the standard RH 1122 switch I have there now. Thanks to all who have lent a hand with this.

Civil War Anyone have contact for Reinhart? Not sure I want to make a turnout, but I'd at least like to take a look at what he has.

You've got a pm.
I also have his manuals and he indeed has plans for an 0-27 wye.
I used to have Reinhart's card. He lives in Auburn, Indiana.

Does anyone know someone who might make an 0-27 Y turnout? I tried Gargraves and Atlas but I can't seem to find anyone who has what I need. Thanks
