In search of a wide radius switch to use with American Flyer and GarGraves track. Can't find anything, is anything out there????
Suggest looking at the Port Lines web site if you have not done that. It lists all the mass produced track and turnout options. The other alternative is Tomsturnouts, but the rail profile matches either SHS or AM, not original Flyer. GarGraves and Ross used to make wide radius turnouts with Flyer profile hollow tinplate rail but these are long out of production. I have some of each in my collection. The Ross No. 4's and 6's are really nice, but no longer available.

I checked out Porlines and Hobby Surplus. The SHS and American Model stuff is nice, but I'll stick with the gargaves track for now. It would cost me too much to switch track systems right now. Thanks for the advice.

I have one S-Helper switch with my American Flyer track but I had to use adapter pins and cut off the plastic tabs that stick out so I could join up with the A.F. track. At the time the switch was $55.00 plus $5.50 for the adapter pins.
Don't know about American Model switches or track.
