Large Scale Central

3D printing turnout parts

Time for a little experiment.

I have some tight radius G scale Aristocraft turnouts that my steamers cant go thru.

So, instead of buying or handlaying new turnouts, I will try to rebuild them into #5’s instead.

I used Fusion 360 to CAD design a new frog and the surrounding ties.

It will be 3D printed in ABS+ on my trusty old Wanhao Duplicator 4S.

Then I can use the points and just alter the radius on the rails.

Sounds very interesting Mikael. Please post pics and reports on your progress!
