HON3 Question
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 4:16 PM
I am planning a small HON3 layout. Does anyone make #4 switches in code 55? I can only find the code 70. I really do not want to build my own.

Fsmelt,
Welcome to the MR Forums !
I believe you will find what you want at the Trout Creek Engineering Web site:
http://www.troutcreekeng.com/bkho.html
Click on the BK Enterprises button and scroll down about halfway. Look for items 924A and 924B.

Fsmelt,

BKs come on PC ties and the modeler needs to lay wood ties and spike the turnout down to the ties. Be aware that if the turnouts are not in stock you may wait quite a while to get them. BK is one guy cranking stuff out, but he gets behind, way behind sometimes. The stuff is excellent quality and worth the wait, but is nice to know upfront what the status is. Be sure to ask if they are not in stock.
