Fastrack Wye Switches
Posted: 21 Aug 2020, 14:35
I added a passing siding to my Fastrack layout using 2x 072 wye switches. When I got the track and put it together, things didn't line up like RailModeller said they would. The measured dimensions of the wye switches (about 10 5/8" w/o extensions) don't match what's in the RailModeller Fastrack library. The Lionel website for the older command wye switches (6-16832 and 6-12047) have dimensions of "Length: 12"/22 1/2-Degree Wye w/ removable 1 3/8" extensions" while the library has a length of 8.69". This is an unfortunate discovery as I've been using a lot of 072 (regular and wye) switches in my plans. Is this a known issue with plans to fix?
It also seems the more recent command wye switch (6-81954) isn't in the library.
