Scratch building switches in Gn3

 

I start with a 1x8” or 1x12” board and rip it to strips, then cut lengths needed for ties or switch ties.

Then I stain the ties and let them dry for a couple days. Next, glue to cardboard templates and

cast the frog with Alumilite (2 part plastic).  From there comes the spikes and real fun.
