The new track tooling is pretty much there, although the assembly space seen later in the video, still needs workbenches and equipment installing, so I suspect that it will be springtime until we get our hands on all the new points and slips, but I’ll be joining the pre-order queue as soon as I can.
The 20 minute programme is well worth watching.
Best,

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

Most interesting progress from PECO on Bullhead Turnouts and slips (at last).
Perhaps best if I start a new topic as my first samples of an alternative turnout from British Finescale have hit my workbench and these kits offer the option of a wider range of sizes. In particular the PECO SL-E190 and SL-U1190 double switches appear to approximate to B5 Turnout size which I feel is quite tight. My design works better with B6 or B7 which gives much gentler turns. I've been told British Finescale will be offering Double switches of B6, B7 + geometry in a similar time-frame to PECO.
