8 Meter Diameter Curved Point - Got Plenty Of Space?

[stockers]

I just found, on the Theil website a 4000/3000mm curved point.
Ideal for that high speed curved entrance to your sleepy narrow gauge station!
Its only 400 quid!

I've asked a couple of times on here if anyone has actually used any of the Thiel pointwork, but don't recall getting much in the way of answers.... It certainly looks to be very high quality, and they do make a very wide selection of interesting track formations (including, I think, a complete one-piece Hosentrager crossover....) - but, as you say, at a price.....

At that price, the rails must be made of code 332, 24 carat gold....

i bought 5 of them but didnt like the colour so i threw them away,,,,,

Class Davey - I like the attitude.

 

[pugwash]

Yeah, but will a Stainz go through them?

 

[stockers]

No, too sharp.

 

[Rhinochugger]

It'd get lost half way

Probably need a LARGE power-buffer to get over the frog!?

 

[stockers]

Looks like a metal frog. At this price I would hope its switched.

Have to say I never heard of this lot. But looking at their Pictures I now know where the Track for some of the superb German and Swiss Lines that I have seen on the net probably came from. With some 3 Ways and Slips the odd item for that awkward location might be worth a punt, even at their inflated prices. For any interested here is the link to their WebbSite:-

You need to look in the 'LINKS' on this forum Jon - loads of interesting suppliers and information.

At this price I would want sound, maybe even lights!

You could ask either GRS or 3.0.1 to quote on a handmade one.... though I suspect it wouldn't be THAT much cheaper than the Thiel offering.....

When I read the above post, I thought it said 'Thief' offering..

Very Freudian!
