Y point

[alanf]

I could do with a Y point to make extending the railway easier, does anyone sell them?

Garden Railway Specialists in Princes Risborough do a nice wooden sleepered one, 6ft radius, 45mm gauge, uses LGB code 332 rail. Usually from stock. You need to add lever/motor to siut. I think they do a 32mm version and other rail types. There are other bespoke track makers such as 301 who will make them to order too.

Depends what radius you want?

I believe you can get a No 6 Y point from Aristocraft.

Piko are supposed to be producing a smaller radii one, eventually....

Or there is the lgb 3way point. It is a eye point but also gives you an extra siding /extension point as well

The current LGB 3WP is R1 but you might be able to find the older R3 version 2nd hand.

I have one of each example on my own railway....

It ain't R3 Gizzy. Much sharper than that.

I refer the honourable gentleman to my post #7.

The current LGB 12360 is R1 30 deg, but if you can find an older version LGB 1235, you will find it is close to R3 22.5 deg.

The one I have is part of a crossover at Sheringham South Junction with an R3 RH point and works well. See the photo below.



I also have the later R1 LGB 12360 version in Weybourne Yard which came via Gareth (3 Valve)....
