Does anybody have the full dimensions (not just height, which I know is 0.8 inch) or a good image of the OO9 rail profile?  I could probably measure it well enough but I like not reinventing wheels.

I'm thinking of 3D printing some special frogs I want.

I assume you mean Peco Code 80? Have you asked them? I am sure they will have the details.

Ah, I made the classic mistake of forgetting that some people might use other track.  Yes, I meant Peco code 80.

No I haven't asked them; I will if I have no luck with this approach.

Thanks Hobby!

The rail profiles are quite different between the commonly used ones in the UK NG-ers, Peco, Tillig, Bemo and Roco as well as the Continental ones using code 83 rail. Peco's code 60 rail is different profile to it's code 80 as well!

Somewhere on RMWeb is a set of end on photos of the commonly used track but I can't find it. It may be worth you searching on there.

Only one I can find is this of Tillig code 83 which is what they use for their HOe track. Can't find the same for Peco code 80 though!
