For the past 30 years or so, Old Pullman had been the turnout builder of choice for many modelers.  For good reason:  Its turnouts and other trackwork were top-notch, high-quality, consistently accurate, dependable products, which is one reason they sell quickly here at eBay and at swap meets.
Old Pullman is no longer making (or importing from Switzerland) its superb, high-quality turnouts.  O Scale Turnouts, a Hamburg, MI, company,  seems to have succeeded them, which is good because we need a  manufacturer of quality turnouts in O scale/gauge in a variety of turnout sizes and rail codes.  Like Old Pullman, however, O Scale Turnouts' products  also are pricey.  Retail for a no. 8 code .148 turnout currently is !  Old Pullman's turnouts reached that level and beyond before it quit.   And because they were of such high quality and revered by modelers, they've kept their value on the used market, even increasing in price.  I've seen Old Pullman turnouts offered here at eBay for as high as 5 and then watched them sell for even more!
A double-slip switch like this one currently retails from O Scale Turnouts for 0!   Don't believe it?  I couldn't either.  But it's true.  Why so expensive?  Because there are four turnouts and two crossings in a double-slip.  Priced separately, they would add up to more than 0.  If you have or are planning a multi-track terminal on your layout or at the club's layout, you'll want at least one of these double-slip switches for the throat to give your trains access to and from every track.  Not only will it save you space, which is why the prototype railroads use them, making a large multi-track terminal feasible, but it will save you money.
If you've ever wanted or needed one, now's the time to grab this one, which I've priced (started) at a deep discount -- half the price of current retail.
