John's Turnouts/Switches


 

Group,

As a long term customer I consider John's turnouts as works of art!!!! He has produced S and O-scale turnouts for me and my opinion is that they are the best Money can buy!!!!

What is the site for these turnouts please?


 

Turnouts makes me think of track.? Track makes me think of Tomalco. Tomalco makes me think of Shane Lambert.? ?Shane Lambert makes me think of the Erie Lackawana GP 35 that I think I purchased from him.? ????

Andrew,
There is another path.?
Turnouts are available from Empire Trackworks (empiretrackworks.com) at quite reasonable prices.? They have been shipping product for about a year (+/-).? They have a nice catalog of S turnouts.?

In case you missed one of Shane's comments, Micro Engineering is in the process of buying Tomalco Track.? As in all business-to-business product ownership transfers, "Lawyers", "Accountants", and "Logistics" take time.? Anticipated availability of Code 100 S- scale flex track from Micro Engineering is "July", this year.? Look for Micro Engineering on youtube for their public statements.?

Thanks,

I purchased some switches from John and they are excellent.

I have mentioned many times almost all of the turnouts on my layout were built by John Wickham. I am very happy with them. But I have not been in contact with him for a few years. My track is done ¨C I am not adding any more. I do not know what his current status is, if he is still making S turnouts.

?

I know Empire Trackworks is very active. I have heard good things about Alan so that is why we have chosen to endorse him.

?

Thank You,
