So with the change of ownership and location, the supply of ME code 55 turnouts have dried up? Checking the usual suspects I found OOS everywhere.

Fifer has 5 "cases" of 4 bundles (24 pc)  https://shop.fiferhobby.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=12951
24 6-pc bundles https://shop.fiferhobby.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=18204

If you order the postage calculator will be wildly off but they will adjust when they ship.


Scratch that. I missed the very important word "turnout" and assumed flex.  So nevermind...  :facepalm:

I thought the same thing. As for the turnouts, those have been MIA for a very long time.

I guess I could claim as an excuse that the thread title is about ME Flex.  But the post I was replying to was about turnouts.

 After working with some of the new track, I like it better than that made in the old molds.
 It's not as stiff and is much easier to work into curves. The rails slide a lot easier on the ties.

I have at least 8 of the N scale Code 55 turnouts and 9 of the Code 70 HOn3 turnouts.  All new in package.

Looking on eBay last night, someone has listings for the HOn3 turnouts for almost $45 each, with a few sold at that price. 

Maybe I should list the ones I have...  Seems like they've become rare enough that they'd be work quite a bit more than retail.
