HO Curvable Switch Ties, & #2571-2582 HO Curvable Switch Kits.
#5 CVT curvable
Switch Kit: When space is a problem
the prototype went to smaller shorter switches. The number 5 saves space
but still allows passage of most diesels and freight cars. This switch
can be useful as a “Y” switch component due to its flexible feature.
March 02, 2004 at 21:36:27: All CVT #5 Customers After
close examination of the #5 turnout ties, I found that indeed there
is an alignment problem with the frog here (0.014" error with the slotted
hole position was too close to the through track side of the tie-plates).
Over the weekend I have fixed the problem in the tie molds, both the
left and right were out about the same amount.
Our
#5 turnout kits did pass a 4-8-4 locomotive with no derailments. My
dad (who has constructed dozens of turnouts) preformed all the inspection
on the kits as well. He and I are amazed that we did not catch this
problem before the first production run!
I
apologize for any inconvenience involved and would like to replace everybody's
#5 ties who have yet to install on there projects. Hopefully, the few
people who have already installed there #5 ties will find them to work
as smooth as our test kits do.
