Jim: thanks for the address. <br /> <br />Wayne: I sent Hans an e-mail last nite and got a reply this morning along with some pictures. The way he explained it sounds like the jig itself is glued to the subroadbed then the switch is built on top of it and you can not re use the jig. I do not know if he sent you the same reply and pictures or not. On the pictures it appears as though he has a few jigs beside the switch, they appear to be for making the frogs etc. Those are what I am interested in. He does not give a price for shipping but figures around $8.00 US, thats about $13.25 Canadian, not much of a savings if you add in shipping, for a #6 jig, says depends on how many I require and size ( I think he is refering to #4's, 6's etc.) If he is going to send a piece of plywood for each jig it will get expensive in the shipping alone due to the size and weight. <br />I was using photocopies of the NMRA switch templates. I began making a few years ago, was having trouble with the throw rails, too stiff, then when cutting them had difficulty keeping them snug with rail joiners, so did not continue. Someone informed me that it is much easier if using code 83 or 70 so am willing to give it a try again, code 83 was no available when I first started, only code 100. What do you think of their product? <br />Ron..
