RCS has been building O-gauge turnouts since 1972. Today we have over 45 different switches and crossings, and 18 different sizes of track. We also have track accessories and other items to help you in the construction of your dream layout.
All of our switches and track are constructed by hand, using tinplated STEEL rail for magnetraction capability and real WOODEN TIES. Your "O", “O27", and HiRail trains will never operate better or look better than they will on Ross Custom Switches equipment.
*DID YOU KNOW?- That no matter what track system you are currently using that there is a way YOU CAN MATE ROSS UP TO IT.
There are descriptions of the various switches we make along with differences in switch machines etc in the store. Click on switches link to the left of the home page. See whats new below!
Also we have a new book that I find to be one of the most significant reads ever! It is not about track plans, but is about what you should think about BEFORE you start planning. An absolute MUST! John Robert Coy, Model Railroad Custom Designer...$20.00. See it in the store under accessories. Shipping will be $4. Order may show $22 for shipping, disregard.

The IT Guy's Layout
-NO ONE else has the sheer variety of switches and TRACK that we have. This means
that you can build your dream layout in any configuration that the real railroads did, and
not be limited as you will be with other brands.
-We also now make switches in both manual and ready to run mode with the DZ1000
lighted switch machine and lighted controller. Just recently Z-Stuff for Trains released
the new DZ2500 switch machine for direct Lionel TMCC control.
