My wife always gets me something for my railroad as a Christmas gift. She paid for this custom built beauty from Signature Switch. It took a while to be built as they are very busy, but Brad Strong builds magic! Made to exact needs this piece drops in place just as planned. Thanks Santa!

Thanks Chris, isn't it funny how train nuts like us think of such a thing as beautiful...but it definitely is.
I agree Bob, that's a beaut! What radius/radii are we looking at? Please let us know how it operates after installation. I've heard nothing but good about Signature Switch turnouts.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks Butch, both radii are 49" normally one radius would be different that the other on a curved switch, but due to other alignment issues Brad suggested this particular design with the short straight segment at the point end. It's in place now and traffic rolls though this switch with flawless precision...it is built perfectly in gauge.
Bob
Thanks Bob, it looks much larger and sweeping. That size radii will work on my home layout and it will look great!

It is funny... but so true...there's nothing like smooth flowing trackwork. And that switch is a work of art.
