A First fs160 Turnout

By Richard Benn

Here's a picture of my first fs160 turnout

fs160 track

It's not pretty , particularly the moving tie-bar, but it is only destined for the test track. It was built to test out the fs160 gauges kindly made for me by Alan Smith.

For those that don't know, fs160 takes the 2mm Scale Association standards and adjusts them for 9mm gauge track at a scale of 1:160 (where 9mm is correct for standard gauge).  It is intended for European and American standard gauge prototypes but could just as easily be used for 3mm or 4mm scale narrow gauge modelling.

Further details and a full set of standards for standard and narrow gauge can be found at http://www.fs160.eu/
