Will Match your Track Conditions
| A Model FM Switch Point Guard is available for every rail section. The basic design is complete with three slide plates, and will work on either right-hand or left-hand turnouts. |
Model FM Switch Point Guards are available to mount on customer furnished
gage plate, as shown below. |
|
|
In addition to building units for the existing center plate (No. 1G Plate) at the switch to be accomodated, we can also build units to fit all three locations (Plate O, 1G & 1A) but no other combination (see Fig. 6). This eliminates having right or left hand ordering and inventory problems. |
