From The Desk Of Peter Wright

My turnouts are designed to fill gaps in the commercial market. Using conventional mass production methods it would be virtually impossible to produce a prototypical design and therefore commercial products have to be a compromise. It was this very gap that I aimed to fill. Turnouts which function well but with a more prototypical look. Each of my designs is the result of intensive research both in the field of production technology and the needs of consumers. Unlike the major commercial market I am able to respond to the needs of the consumer and upgrade designs to produce a better product in a relatively short time. Sometimes this does mean that production is slowed but I prefer to think that it does lead to a better and improving product.


I am close to completing the redesigning of the original turnouts compatible with Marklin track using new production methods. I have improved the frog area in terms of rail alignment, including a more prototypical effect with spikeheads, and have eliminated the cuts in the exit rails. Although they served to isolate the frog the cuts were a requirement of the old production method. Hopefully this will give the consumer greater scope when planning power connections.
