This is the right electrical connection of the rails.

The connection between the rail in the crossings of the turnouts are called "Futterstücke".

These will be used in simple-turnout / EW 1: 9 R190 Code 75 rails & fastenings "K" WEINERT HO 74907 (left) & 74908 (right).

I present the check-rails from Code 70 nickel/silver.

I handmade them from the prototype. In HO: ca.44,828mm = 3900mm in prototype for a simple turnout 1: 9 R190.

These are used not only in steel-sleepers, but also in wooden-sleepers.


The prototype was found from the book "ΣΙΔΗΡΟΔΡΟΜΙΚΗ 1993" of Profillidis (Greece). The rail--profile is UIC50 on steel /and or wooden sleepers in a simple-turnout /or EW1: 9 R190.


Now, the Greek State Railways use in mainline-tracks, the rail-profile UIC60 on prestressed-concrete sleepers with fastenings SKL14 and also UIC60 on wooden sleepers and fastenings W12.

Also, the Greek State Railways use the rail-profiles: UIC54 & UIC60 on twin-block-sleepers and fastenings NABLA, when the sleepers are U31, and RN, when the sleepers are U3.

And in old tracks they still use S49 /oder UIC50 rail-profiles on steel-sleepers with fastenings "K" ("Κραπό" in Greek) & and wooden sleepers with fastenings "K" (Klemmplatte in German).

There are also on old tracks with rail-profile S49 on wooden-sleepers, french ''tire-fond'' ("τιρφόνια" in Greek).

Azobé-sleepers are sleepers from Azobé-tropical-wood.
