Seems to skip this type. Is there a particular reason?

I don't know, but I wish he would carry them. I saw him at York and asked about O-36 switches. He didn't say no, but he didn't say yes either. (No blame there...I'd do the same). O-36 track is a pretty recent addition to the Ross line (only started noticing it in ads in the last year) so I am hoping the switches are just a matter of time.
I'm not an expert when it comes to why a manufacturer "skips" a particular switch diameter-- but I suspect it's because O36 is NOT one of the original tubular diameters. Lionel only made O27, O31, O42 and O72(if i 1missed one please add it) switches. When Atlas deceided to make O gauge track, they went from O27 diameter to O108(with 9 inches between diameters) for track, but started switch diameters at O36. That's why we have so many discussions over this subject--- there are NO standards to Ogauge track except the 1.25" between the outside rails!
