Mainline Railworks HOn3 Turnout Switches are designed to help modelers create smooth-running narrow gauge railroads with reliable geometry and easy layout planning. Whether you are building a compact mountain line, a sharp mining branch, or a permanent layout, these premium turnout switches make HOn3 construction simpler and more enjoyable. Engineered as a direct drop-in replacement, each turnout switch can be substituted in place of any 19A curve section to seamlessly integrate into your existing track configuration.
🚂 Why This Matters
Consistent geometry is critical in narrow gauge modeling. These turnout switches provide flawless route divergence without disrupting your layout's footprint, reducing derailments and making expansion less frustrating—especially for new HOn3 modelers.

🏔 Perfect For
- Compact shelf and tabletop railroads
- Colorado-style narrow gauge routes
- Mining and logging branch lines
- Expanding permanent model layouts
- Custom point-to-point operations
🔧 Key Features
- Direct 19A Drop-In Replacement: Fits perfectly in the footprint of any standard 19A curve section.
- Handcrafted Quality: Artisan hand-assembled switches built for supreme tracking precision.
- HOn3 Narrow Gauge Track: Precision-engineered sectional switches for exact alignment.
- Code 80 Rail Profile: Delivers reliable operation and broad equipment compatibility.
- Precision-Matched Geometry: Guarantees smooth, derailment-free rolling stock transitions.
- Easy-to-Connect Design: Visual and physical alignment matches standard HOn3 sectional tracks.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: Ideal for both beginner and experienced model railroaders.
🛠 Production & Lead Time
Every single turnout switch is meticulously made by hand to ensure the highest standard of operational reliability. To maintain this level of craftsmanship, all switches are manufactured on-demand and fulfilled strictly in the order received. Please allow an estimated 2–4 week lead time for build production and shipment prep.

Available Orientation Options
- Left-Hand Turnouts: Diverges to the left, replacing a standard left-hand 19A curve section.
- Right-Hand Turnouts: Diverges to the right, replacing a standard right-hand 19A curve section.
🔄 Layout Flexibility
Because these switches match standard curve profiles, they can be mixed and matched with straight sections and curves to create:
