Time for a little experiment.

I have some tight radius G scale Aristocraft turnouts that my steamers cant go thru.

So, instead of buying or handlaying new turnouts, I will try to rebuild them into #5's instead.

I used Fusion 360 to CAD design a new frog and the surrounding ties.

It will be 3D printed in ABS+ on my trusty old Wanhao Duplicator 4DS.

Then I can use the points and just alter the radius on the rails.
 
Good idea! :clap:
LGB R1s are like old shoes. Everyone has a pair or two but often not the best for running. :D
What about the electricery contacts?

EDIT: It is for AristoCraft points, not LGB. Silly me! :giggle:
