Wood clap board siding was (and still is) commonly used worldwide to sheath the exterior of buildings. Mt. Albert has reproduced this material precisely for use on all types of building exteriors!
These clapboard siding basswood sheets are scribed with 0.045" wide boards and are ideal for scratchbuilding wood structures. These sheets are 1/16" thick and easily cut with a knife or laser cutter.
The naturally fine grain of basswood makes it ideal for creating scale wood models. Even though this is technically hardwood, it works easily with hand tools.
Mt. Albert scale sheet stock is produced from the highest quality basswood available. Cut to consistent dimensions and high tolerances; this material is ideally suited for all types of scratch building projects.
Our method of cutting basswood produces clean, fuzz-free wood ready to use. We use the finest raw materials available, free of knots and discoloration.
These 0.062" x 6" (1.6mm x 152.4mm) wide sheets are sold in 12" (305 mm) lengths. 2 sheets per package

The TadPole Remote Control Rod Mount
A companion product to the BullFrog manual turnout control, the TadPole provides a way of offsetting the control rod mount away from the BullFrog, making the overall size of the BullFrog considerably smaller so that it can be fit into tighter locations. You can even mount the TadPole around a corner from the BullFrog!

BullFrog Manual Turnout Control - Stress Testing
Before releasing our new BullFrog manual turnout control, we built this test jig to stress test the design. After 100,000 cycles, the BullFrog showed no significant signs of wear. To simulate switching stress, we restrained the switch wire, which broke after 10,000 cycles, while the BullFrog was no worse for wear.
