Not sure if it is just me, but trying to find a source for Lenz double slip switches is not for the faint of heart. There is a place in BC but they wanted to surcharge 20% for special orders.
I did find a place in Ill. that says they will have a few for me in three weeks. $175 each delivered to the East Coast.
Decent folks on the phone:
Reynauld’s Euro-Imports, Inc
1 630 365 6340
I will post results when in.

Deb Ames has been selling these. That's where I purchased mine and may want heir curved turnout.

JJ,
What code rail do the Lenz switches use? Do they mate with code 148 rail? Also, it appears to be a #5. True or false?
One last question: I could not find a crossing. Do they have a crossing to match the double slip?
Thanks,
Ed
They are code 148 and a perfect match for Atlas O rail. The ties are ever so slightly wider than Atlas but not particularly noticeably so. It is a number 5 but everthing I own passes through perfectly. All diesels anjd steam including SP Mountains. I don't know about the croosing, check the Lenz german website or ask Deb.

Anyone coming to O Scale West this week I will have one I am trying to sell.
Rdunniii,
Hummm...., an extra or a problem child? Your experience with this switch? Thanks

Neither. I'm selling all my Atlas track and switches. Its never been used. Gonna go to ME flex and hand laid/kits instead. The Oscaleturnouts.com turnouts are just a better value IMHO.
Just informed that Lenz is ready to ship their 0 scale double slip switches in April.
If you want/need one, apparently now is the time to get on board.
If you want prompt service call a fireman.
