Does anyone make a 072 switch for 027 tubular track?

Looking for the above; right or left, manual or power.

TIA

GarGraves has a full line of(tubular - T section) O-27 height O-72 switches:

And Ross also has(tubular T-section) O-27 height O-72 switches:

You would just need the GarGraves transition pins for either one.

Thanks for the info! I'll check around for one; either right or left will do.

I recommend going for the Ross Custom switch as it will last longer then the Gargraves switch, it may cost a few dollars more(maybe 15% more) but it is much better then the Gargraves switch. Also Ross has much better quality then the Gargraves switches. I am currently having an issue with a Gargraves switch that is 8 years old(042 size), one of the center rails is coming up and won't stay in place so I had to nail it down with a small nail I had.

What I do know about Ross Custom switches is their tracks are all metal even in 042 size, unlike Gargraves having at least 2 plastic rails(one on each side, straight track & curved) after the center of the switch for the outging tracks. Not sure about the larger Gargraves sizes and how their rails are. 

With either Ross or Gargraves you will need adapter pins for use with 027 track. The adapter pins will fit either Gargraves or Ross track.

Ross Custom switches has many more selections of swithces(Y sections, 4 way switches to mention a few) then Gargraves track.
