What is the difference between Superline and Premiere line switches?
Superline switches are made to more traditional model RR dimensions, such as 031, 072, 054…etc. They are not true to scale. Our premiere switches are made to scale dimensions and are generally longer and more gradual. We use actual RR nomenclature to signify the sharpness of the switch. The higher the number the more gradual. Real RR do not have curves through the entire turnout portion of the switch, only the center has the curve until it gets to the proper angle and then is goes straight. This is better for crossovers because you avoid the S curve that an 072 will give you. All of our switches are made with the same material and build quality. Both Superline and Premiere may be used in the same layout, but with different applications. Here is where we confuse you. The regular switch is made like a premiere switch (all three legs are straight with the curve in the middle) but the regular remains in the Superline because it is about 1.5″ shorter than a scale #5 switch would be.
