June 18, 20186 yr Backed. Best of luck. I backed the ME rails, the PFx brick and now this. Folks, if you want it, there's only one way to get it! (PS. anything in 9V will also be supported!!)
June 20, 20186 yr Thanks for bringing this project forward - I've been really pleased with your R104 and R120 curved tracks and have put in my pledge for 4x pairs of R104 switches. Best of luck in getting the project funded!
June 22, 20186 yr Hey @coaster any chance the switch kit will include the 1-5/8 stud straight needed to make a yard ladder with these?

It doesn't right now, but that'd be an easy enough piece to piggy back on one of the tools. If there's enough money for it I'll include it.
June 25, 20186 yr Backed! P.S This should have it's own thread :) @coasterHave you sent to Jang? We need some more backers :)
June 26, 20186 yr I agree with @dylanfarrow that this new kickstarter campaign should have its own shiny new thread!! Also, it may be good @coaster to have an open call for picture support from those that were able to get their hands on the prototypes? I know you have a few on the ks page already, but more couldn't hurt lol. Also, that very last pledge tier you have up is just... marvelous! but also, somewhat insane! Who's got the space/time to utilize 200 something swtiches??? I would totally jump on that if I could afford it though lol.
June 26, 20186 yr @dylanfarrow @M_slug357 You guys weren't the first to suggest a new thread, but I've finally got it up now. @dylanfarrow, who's Jang? I'm afraid I don't know them. @M_slug357, that top level is to entice some LUGs. Though I admit I'm not looking forward to assembling that many switches for one order!
June 26, 20186 yr @coaster Jang is from YouTube. 1m + followers and a huge train fan. Unsure if he uses custom parts though. https://www.youtube.com/user/LEGOJANG
June 26, 20186 yr @dylanfarrow I'm pretty sure Jang is a purist when it comes to the actual bricks, but he did/does do some minor electrical mods where appropriate.
July 3, 20186 yr Hi @coaster, Just backed for 2 left & 2 right points. I hope it will be funded as there's still a lot to go. I wish you a lot of success. Regards from Belgium. Ludo
July 3, 20186 yr Thanks @Ludo! In other news, the R56s will be delayed a couple more weeks. We still had some issues with the studs on the end ties being a little undersized, and I want to get it right. It should be fixed now, but we've missed our production window. I'll also send an email out to those that pre-ordered.
August 3, 20186 yr Quick question (I might have asked this earlier but don't recall): In two corners of my layout, I've mixed straights and curves to make a rough but wider radius curve. It goes: R40 Curve Track Segment - 16 Stud Straight - R40 Curve Track Segment - R40 Curve Track Segment - 16 Stud Straight - R40 Curve Track Segment It seems to me that it'd be close to R72, but I may be wrong. Anyone know what would be the best fit?

You need to measure from the centre of the circle to the middle of one of the sleepers.

August 13, 20186 yr Just as an update, parts are running, and the first batches of R56s should be going out next week sometime.

August 17, 20186 yr @coaster I found following message in my mail box regarding the kickstarter project for the R104 points : Quote Hi there, ________________________________________ Thanks for being a backer of BrickTracks™ R104 Switch Tracks for LEGO® Trains. Unfortunately, this project did not reach its funding goal by its deadline. Because funding on Kickstarter is all or nothing, your pledge of $155.00 has been automatically canceled and your card will not be charged. Thanks again for supporting this project. Kickstarter whats next? Ludo
August 17, 20186 yr @ Ludo, I move to plan B to get these made. We have some things in mind, so it's far from dead. Hopefully we don't have to move to Plan C, because that involves me robbing liquor stores.
