Greetings from the west coast of Canada. I am asking if someone can advise of a source ot track and turnouts for OO9 which would export, with VAT relief, to Canada for a small HOe layout. Small radius turnouts as my minimum radius will be 10 inch. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello David,
The banner on Hatton's web site says "VAT deductible non-EC":

(go to 'advanced search' and choose scale 009)
I would guess a number of the larger mail order companies in the UK would offer the same.
Thanks, I'll give them a try.
The Peco turnouts as sold by Hattons and others are 12 inch radii for the left and right hand and 18 inch for the Y.
Shinohara make turnouts with a smaller radii, (150mm and 200mm) but these have code 60 rail, so it would be best to use their code 60 track as well. These points are not self-latching so you will need to have another method of holding the blades over. They also may prove more difficult to obtain than the Peco points.
