That said, the RossReady switch with motor attached does indeed have that easy to wire option. Our switches can be operated with many different motors, some of which have the non-derail capability and some that do not. I know that those of us who answer the phone here are aware that most people can't say it once.Ī non-derail option is a function of the switch machine and not the switch itself.

Now try to say Brenneisen Custom Switches 10 times fast. The name Ross comes from the Owner of our company's middle name. The regular is usually the best choice for crossovers and straight passing sidings and the 072 is better if you are going directly into a circle and you want to keep it concentric. When you put two 072 switches together you are butting two curves in opposite directions forcing the train through an S curve. When you put two Regs together to create a crossover you are butting two straight legs together so the train slides gradually from track to track. If you had to put a number on the curve in the regular it would be over 100" diameter. The Regular (#100 and #101) is much more gradual than an 072. The turnout is wired for power throughout the entire length (the center rails are connected and the two outside rails are connected) so your trains will have power from one end of the switch to the other. This has the lighted DZ1000 machine mounted on the turnout and a lighted push button controller in the box. RossReady is the name we use for our remote switch. The standard Atlas joiner will work with our rail, and Gargraves uses the same flat track pin that we do. No worries! RCS can adapt to almost anything out there. If you are already using a different track system. With our versatility you can tell your track and switches what to do and not be told by them. Another advantage to track pins is the ability you have to easily cut and re-pin pieces for exact fits. The pinned connection forces the tops of the rails together. This is important because a rail joiner that connects the bottom of your rail does not necessarily align the tops.that is where the train's wheels are rolling. Since our rail is roll formed, sections are connected via a flat track pin. It is not sharp so your wheels and rollers will be safe. The roll forming leaves you will a very prototypical flat top and slightly rounded edge. Our track and switches are made with roll formed tinplated steel rail on the outside rails and roll formed oxidized steel rail for the center rail. We have many different sizes of track from 031 diameters to 0128 diameter. This prevents the ties from swimming around on you. The rails are both SPIKED and BONDED to a REAL WOODEN TIE plate and has an interconnecting wooden stringer glued underneath that makes up our TIE LOCK system. NO FUDGING! The Guardrails are solid aluminum and low profile so as to not catch stray slide shoes. The points are also CNC milled from solid rail stock specific to each switch. NO FUDGING! The wing rails on these frogs are ramped so as to not catch stray slide shoes, and the flange way has depth control so the wheel doesn't drop into the frog but glides smoothly through. Also the angle or radius of departure is exact and specific to each of the 45+ switches we make. What this means in laymans terms is that at this most critical part of the turnout your trains glide through like they were on a piece of track. Since it is machined and is not hand bent rail pushed up against a wedge insert we can control the height of the Frog.


This is a one piece frog machined in house. Our switches are hand made with extremely tight tolerances. My magnetic couplers are activating.how do I fix that?Ĭan my pre-war engines run through your switches?Ĭan I run scale wheels through your switches?Īre you ever going to make S gauge switches? What is the difference between Superline and Premier line switches? My rollers are sparking.what is causing that? How often should I connect power to my track? Why is the Regular better for a crossover than an 072?ĭoes your switch have a non-derailing option? Can my 072 engines run throught a Regular switch?
