<P>Coalfrog mate, there are no stupid questions, those who do not ask, usually do not know and contimue to do so.</P> <P>You can use any size LGB points (switch) you like and the curve you are using now will almost certainly be R3, so you will have a good match If you have an 0-4-0 loco which you probably do, the whole thing will gel just great. If you try to run an 0-4-0 loco on bigger points the frog may be too big and you will have conductivity problems over the points (hesitation). </P> <P>Having said that i use all electric LGB R3 points and put up with it; as i have many larger locos that like the larger frog. Long term i will pay more and get a better switch in R3 types.</P> <P>The problem is, and i warn people of this all the time; don't buy anything that you really don't need in these early stages, as you wil l almost certainly change your mind as your expertise increases and you will regret the money you have spent unwisely.</P> <P>Rgds ian </P>
