L / H point not straight as it is meant to be
Hi All. I have had a Peco L/ H point in a safe place since I purchased it. But now I have discovered that the R/ H rail is more like a banana. But it is not supposed to be a “ Point on a Curve “ . Has anyone else had this problem??? Best wishes Kevin

If the plastic was not fully cured it will shrink and bend. John Kendall ( "Brossard") had this issue. Hair dryer on hot and some pins through the sleepers while it cools or a couple of copper clads will fix it. Does stock derail?

I was going to point out that points can get pretty pointless, unless they point where they are supposed to. The point is that these points point somewhere else. Which pointing a finger at the point or Peco will not resolve.
If you applied a hot soldering tip to the sleepers when adding a wire that can cause shrinkage, which will distort the outer rhs rail. If you run a wagon through by hand does it derail? It can be forced back. Do you have can OO rail gauge? I would buy another one.
I have had this issue with spare turnout sleepers from Peco.
