Longest RTL OO gauge points

[Dagworth]

What are to longest in length mass manufactured points in OO gauge? Looking at flat bottom but wooden sleepers. 
 

Not really looking at custom made-to-order as that would cost me the earth. 
 

Hand building my own* may be the best option for what I need but just curious if there is anything on the market that will save me time but not cost an arm and a leg. 
 

*or kits..

Tillig do some long points.

I have a catalog somewhere. I'll try and remember to have a look for it tomorrow.

Yes, Tillig sprung to my mind. IIRC they do some that are about 400mm long.

There seems to be a Tillig point that is 388 mm in length - https://www.tillig.com/eng/Produkte/produktinfo-85346.html.  I'm not sure if there is a longer one.

 

The longest point in the Peco range is the North American Code 83 #8, which is 322 mm in length - https://peco-uk.com/products/turnout-8th-radius-right-hand

Roco also do a long radius point (1942mm radius and 344mm long: https://www.roco.cc/en/product/22680-0-0-0-0-0-0-005002-0/products.html

 

Be aware that both the Roco and TIlilig products are code 83 rail (like the Peco US switches.

 

That said, I have found that Peco Bullhead track fits quite well with the Roco points.

 

Also, I have two Roco R/H turnouts for sale in the classifieds right now - so if you want to see one without buying new I am sure we could do a deal?

You could talk to Wayne Kinney (British Finescale) - he’s doing bullhead semi-kit turnouts, but does flat bottom in N. I’m rather enjoying building them. 
 

The EV15 is about 300mm in N, so would be nearing 600mm in OO!

I'm hoping that British Finescale do decide to offer their flat bottom range in 00.  Alas, I doubt I'll be able to accommodate an EH15 crossover (1.2 m), but I'd definitely order a few CV10s.

[njee20]

Just go go N! I’ve got some FV20s to build!

It wasn't a catalog - I knew I'd seen something before

Hi Andi.
