| I'm not sure this has been discussed before. If it has, I don't remember.
I'm looking for someone who can do (custom) curved switches that would match 10 ft. radius curved track.
Any help would be appreciated.

I believe that either Llagas Creek or SV can do custom work. But curved switches are a stock item with Llagas Creek ... give TOC a call - he's a dealer.

| | Hand laying one is very rewarding! I haven’t made a curved one yet, maybe one day! | | | |

| I have a had a curved turnout on my line for a number of years. Made by California /oregon coast. Radii are 6 and 8 feet. Works very well and never generates derailment. it is a large improvement over the old Pullmann unit I had in that spot before. They custom build turnouts, pricing is very reasonable and delivery is steady and consistent at a few weeks in my experience.
