HO, #6, Curved Turnout Kit for ME 70 Rail

This kit does not include rail. If you need rail you can order the same kit with enough rail to build 5 switches.

This kit comes complete with everything you need including:

1 - HO scale, #6, Code 83, 50R/30R, Curved Turnout Assembly Fixture (AF-HO-R-6-ME83-50-30)
1 - Code 83, #6 PointForm Tool (PF-6-M)
5 - HO scale, #6, Curved Turnout Laser Cut Ties (LT-HO-R-6-50-30)
1 - PC Board Ties for HO scale (PB-HO-S)
1 - 18 inch (46 cm) pieces of Micro Engineering code 83 rail (17-083-C)
1 - Small Diameter Solder (SP-0003)
1 - Pliobond Contact Cement with 2 micro dispensing tips (SP-0001)
