Peco Turnout - Point Rail Spring

Thanks for the suggestions. I sent an email to Peco, presumably across the Pond. To my surprise, they replied almost immediately and offered to send replacement springs - - no charge. I will take them up on that.

Rich I’ve used .015” piano wire to make Peco springs, can’t tell the difference.  I’ve even converted Atlas Custom Line turnouts to work like the Pecos.

According to the product information, these adapter plates for other turnouts come with the over center springs used on the Peco turnouts:

Peco turnouts are spring loaded. Pretty cool since you can throw the points with your finger instead of installing a manual ground throw.

I had removed the springs on several of my Peco turnouts when I installed them with Tortoises. 

Yesterday, I replaced the springs on several of the Peco turnouts, but I have somehow lost one spring. Anyone know of a place where replacement springs can be purchased?
