Heel Blocks for Model Railroad Turnouts

Heel blocks are a critical component of model railroad turnouts, providing a rigid, precise connection between the movable switch point rail and the fixed stock rail at the heel of the turnout. They improve strength, alignment, long-term reliability, and add an important prototype detail to your trackwork.

Modeled after full-size railroad practice, Oak Hill Model Railroad Track Supply heel blocks are precision designed for HO scale with crisp, highly detailed castings that enhance both the appearance and realism of your turnouts. They are ideal for new turnout construction, upgrading commercial turnouts, or restoring existing hand-laid track.

Designed to complement Oak Hill's Roadmaster Series components, these heel blocks provide the strength and prototype appearance needed to create museum-quality model railroad track.

Available Options

• Rail Sizes: Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100
• Package Quantities: 6, 12, 24, or 48 heel blocks

Each turnout requires 2 heel blocks, making it easy to purchase the quantity that best fits your project—from a single turnout to an entire yard.

Code 55 coming soon.
