Does anyone know someone who might make an 0-27 Y turnout? I tried Gargraves and Atlas but I can’t seem to find anyone who has what I need. Thanks
I used to have Reinhart’s card. He lives in Auburn, Indiana.
I also have his manuals and he indeed has plans for an 0-27 wye.
Anyone have contact for Reinhart? Not sure I want to make a turnout, but I’d at least like to take a look at what he has.
You’ve got a pm.
Have you tried Ross Custom Switches? Their switches look like Gargraves in rail size and they have a wide selection of switches to choose from. Also the Ross switches will mate to 027 track, very close to same heigth, with just adapter pins. www.rossswitches.com

I built an O-27 Y many years ago. I still have it. When I get a chance I will post a picture of it along with some O gauge switches I made. It is a simple design. Bruce Baker
I would love to see that. I emailed Reinhart but have not heard from him yet. Still hope to. I checked the Ross switch site. They have a 0-31 Y that will probably work. it shure would look better than the standard RH 1122 switch I have there now. Thanks to all who have lent a hand with this.
I’d like to see them.
We have a hobby store in N Miami that stocks Ross Switches so I was able to go and stare at them for hours on end. They are beautiful works of art, but felt they were too much for what I want to do, so I decided to build my own.
balidas,
The store you are referring to is Ready To Roll on NW 143 st. in Miami FL. I have been there many times and they stock some Ross Custom Switches.
I am not into building my own switches, so that is why I mentioned about Ross switches. Also Ross’s height and track profile are closer to 027 track profile than 031.

I bought a book of his track swith plans at York October 2009. I’m going to try to build a few switches this summer.
