And now for some awesome news!<\/p>\n

BrickTracks, the company behind those injection-molded R104 and R120 (with R56 now available for pre-order) curves has finally launched a Kickstarter campaign<\/a>\u00a0for R104 switch tracks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I won’t be going into every detail in this post, as everything is explained on the campaign page, but here’s a run-down of what’s going on:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

BrickTracks has serously outdone themselves with the design in their switches. Starting off with the quality, BrickTracks products are top notch due to the injection molding. Having used some of their R104 and R120 curves before, the track is almost indistinguishable from genuine LEGO ABS.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, the design of the switches is spectacular.\u00a0 The throw mechanism is detathchable from the track and can be mounted to either side of the track: inside or outside the turnout. This allows for much greater flexibility in terms of layout planning and yard design.<\/p>\n

PennLUG has been using a pair of 3D-printed prototype switches (shown in white in the video below) from BrickTracks and have been fully satisfied with the performance.<\/p>\n
