Build Perfect Frog & Switch Points!

With the Fast Tracks PointForm tool, you can build flawless frog and switchpoints in minutes. Works with code 40 to 148 rail and with all scales and track types. Here is how they work...

Step 1

Start by inserting a length of rail into the end of the PointForm tool.

The PointForm tool can make both frog and switch points. Here we are making a frog point.

    Insert the rail into the tool.

File the rail flush to the face of the tool.
Step 2

Next you file off the rail flat to the face of the PointForm tool. It only takes a few swipes of a 10" file.


Step 3

Repeat the process for both halves of the point and you will have two perfectly symmetrical halves of the point.

Solder the points together.   Step 4

To solder the frog points together, you can use either a Fast Tracks Frog Helper tool, or an Assembly Fixture. The Frog Helper or Assembly Fixture holds the points at the perfect angle for the frog points.

The Frog Helper or Assembly Fixture makes soldering much easier, but you can use an alternative method of holding the points if you prefer.
 

And You Are Finished

Within minutes you will have a highly accurate set of frog points, ready to install into your switch!
