Peco N Gauge Points

WAY TO GO!

Yeah! It's where all the hoopy froods who know where their towels are at!  :D

Edit:

It is ironic that the latest (and apparently best) in the line of 009/HOe points is of a larger radius than predecessors at the same time that technology improvements have also meant that ever smaller locomotives are possible. It is a pity that equivalent quality small radius RTR points to suit cramped industrial lines are not available. Steel sleepered main line track is available from Peco. I doubt that anything that would pass for "Jubilee" track will ever be produced commercially.

I may be wrong but I have a feeling that the common crossing (frog) on the new Peco mainline points has been incoporated into the older "crazytrack' points.  Certainly the geomerty is the same (14 degree angle?) and given the rate at which the dies are used they are probaly re-tooled at (irregular) intervals looking at my older points so if it has not happened then it is possible it might.

My memory from when the mainline points were first released, from comments made particularly by the US HOn30 modellers, was that although the radius of the diverging track is larger, the crossing angle remained the same as on the 12" radius points. So I don't think the new crossing has been incorporated into the old points, rather the new points have the same as the older...
