Product Features and Details
Double slip switch (type Baeseler) 15 °; Radius 1.050, length 276 mm
Large ELITE-slip points with outside slip blades
Large slip points and a crossing angle of 15° - a contradiction in terms? Not at all! Even in original installations, there are no decidedly low-angle slip points, not even with outside slip blades! They all display a turnout ratio of 1:9, just like the smallest standard points (190-1:9). Consequently, this is represented in our system by an angle of 15°, as in the points form EW 2 (r = 484mm). Nevertheless, these slip points, with their generous branch radius of 1.050mm, can still rightfully be incorporated into elegant approach lines, combined with the large points forms EW 1 and EW 3 with radii of 866 and 1.350mm. After all, traveling comfort, as with original rolling stock, is dependent solely on the radius. Suitable links with flatter 12° points can be produced with connecting curves – as in real-life situations where 500-1:12 points are steepened to 1:9. Countless examples are to be encountered in original installations.
HO-ELITE-Track
- To be used for: NEM or RP 25 wheel sets, Older rolling stock with higher wheel flanges up to approximately 1.2mm.
- The geometry matched to the NEM stipulations regarding possibilities for the use of true-scale long vehicles
- Rail construction not only for professionals
- The advantageous properties of the track give the imagination free rein at the planning stage: There is no fixed pattern to unduly restrict your planning intentions.
- Low rail profile (height of 2.07mm = Code 83)
- Unusually narrow rail width of just 0.8mm
- It is supplied ready-weathered (rust brown) like the rail joiners and insulated rail joiners, the rail surfaces are naturally left bright
- The design of the track corresponds exactly to the “K” - system is suitable for all model railway eras
- The points blades fixings are reproduced as faithfully as possible: No disturbing joints, acting instead like their originals, The frogs manufactured from very sharply pointed rail
