4-Hole Joint Bars (Fish Plates)

Roadmaster Series 4-Hole Joint Bars (commonly known as fish plates) accurately reproduce the prototype hardware used to join sections of rail. Designed directly from prototype railroad drawings and field reference photographs, they feature crisp bolt and nut detail for a realistic finished appearance.

Although commonly associated with straight track, 4-hole joint bars are also found throughout prototype turnouts and are an important detail for accurately modeling hand-laid track.
