Title: Curved points
Post by: zoablive on December 20, 2009, 01:49

Hi folks,
I am currently working out the trackwork for my layout and it appears some 009 curved points would solve a number of problems. for a beginner are these traumatic to make?
Any guidance appreciated.
Regards,

John

Depending on how much curvature is required, you may be able to bend an ordinary point by trimming away some of the webbing between the sleepers.

Never thought of bending points, I am working on 9 inch radius. Does this mean the straight portion would be bent to 9 inch radius. I am happy with peco points but alas no curved points. Just a stray thought does any one else make compatible curved points??
