Code .170 rail and switches

Postby ScaleCraft » Sun Jun 28, 2020 11:00 pm

Anybody need any? Brass, I think. I have two handfuls. 5 switches worth of plate frogs with points, three plate frogs with no points, stock rails (relieved for points), plate guard rail and associated rails. Rails were soldered into joiners (not any more) but joiners still on rails. Was a yard, I think traction.
Cost of shipping, otherwise brass recycle.

I could send it to Trainz on consignment, I guess.

Probably get more hits if you left the "G" or "B" completely out of the description.

Just sayin.....

Photos would help.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.

Thought about that. It's rail. Made up frogs and wing rails, plated....thin brass plates underneath, all soldered together that way. Plates stick out the sides a bit, I think there are holes for spikes...same with guard rails.

And then again, maybe best not to have photos to register the evidence, :wink: :wink:
