LGB 1235 3 Way Point

So does that mean we are both right then?

Yes we are JD, although I have never seen an Eskimo train spotting....

Just scored this new old stock rare beauty for a song. I’m replacing all remaining R1 switches with R3. They are only in the yard areas. Can’t wait for the weather to warm up to get this installed! It will replace the 1236 entrance to the shed and siding.

Besides the wider curve the main advantage is the point blades don’t overlap, which should provide much smoother operation.

Thanks. Exactly what I’m looking for.....
But $270, plus shipping, then import taxes.
Probably be $400+ by the time it arrives.
So the search continues.....

Thanks again, Malcolm
