Specifications

Three way turnouts are great space savers, especially in rail yards where there never seems to be enough space to fit in everything we need. Quite a bit of space can be saved by working in a Three Way turnout to your design. Our Three Way turnouts are not any more difficult to construct than a standard turnout and only take a little longer to build.

This HOn3 Stub three way fixture will produce the portion of a stub three way turnout beyond the bridle. We do not have tools to fabricate the movabile bridles.

Use our Three Way turnout fixture to build switches that not only look great, but will completely eliminate track related derailments and frustration.

The HOn3 3-way stub turn out may be the easyist turn out I have ever built ! Without this fixture I tried a number of times to construct free lance version of 3-way stubs and they never worked. FAST TRACKS did it again other than a few Micro Engineering ready made turnouts, Almost all my turn are from Fast Tracks home build turnout fixtuers to make sure I have really sound turnout on my DCC system 27 down 24 to 33 to go!
