Hey,
does anyone knows were I can find a template ( drawings) for the building turnouts in scale 1/29 . Where can I get frogs for this scale ?

Thx :D
 
Lots of small frogs in my garden.. What size do you want?
:rolf::rolf::rolf:
"Turned-out nice again!"
But seriously.. A few book-marked links, not sure how useful they will be..

Useful suggestions from PhilP.

Argilla, what code of rail are you using? 200, 250, 332? Where in the world are you?

I've never built my own pointwork in G scale, but I did make my own replacement brass frogs for LGB R5 turnouts.

If using code 250 or code 332 (standard LGB profile) then there appear to be some frogs here:

Heyn Modelbau could be another source. Possibly suppliers such as Llegas Creek? I'm mentioning these firms purely from having heard of them - I have no experience of them. There may be other suppliers.

I think Peco supply components for their code 250 trackwork.
 
I have some templates somewhere that I got from someone on here. Gauge will be standard but you can modify as required for sleeper spacing, rail code etc. The radius of the curve will be another thing to consider, I think the ones I have are about 4 foot radius but not 100% sure.
 
I use aristocraft stainless steel for the straight parts en for the switch building LGB rails It easy to solder them togheter.
