So---I have worked up the courage (almost) to tackle the "keystone" or "hub" module for my 2 rail waterfront switching layout. I have a box of AHM turnouts that I plan to slather onto this yard module.
But----BEFORE I start laying them down on a permanent basis, I am wondering how these turnouts perform. I may just operate them off "choke cables", I am thinking. Maybe NOT all of them.
AND I am asking my fellow 2 railers----
*How do the AHM turnouts perform with the stock remote control system?
*Have you used these turnouts? What was your satisfaction level with them?
*How about the dread derailments? How do they DO in THAT regard?
Of course the big advantage of the AHM/Rivarossi turnout is initial price. The near code .100 rail and sharp turns were the attracting factor for ME.
Is anybody here ready to spill and tattle about these 1970's turnouts which seem to be so cheap and abundant? I am "all ears"!
I notice these turnouts seem to be of the wider radius Rivarossi curves (60"??) rather than the tighter (48"??) Pola curved track. (For the uninitiated, both Pola and Rivarossi made quite similar curved reack for the AHM badge.)
