If my math skills have survived the years you still need one left and two right. I'll keep my eyes open.

RE: needed - TinGoat - 10-24-2021

I did some digging. Two Left and Two Right that appear functional. There's also one Left that can be repaired and one Right that is missing the points.

Postage from Canada is stupid expensive. Probably ~$30CAD..

Yeah, I recently sent a smallish package of Bachmann lighting boards to a friend in the northeastern States, and it cost over $13.00.

Canada Post  charges on the weight of the package, but also on the package's dimensions.  Those turnouts aren't all that heavy, but you may save some dough by using a sturdy box just big enough to hold the turnouts. 

I can't say if it plays a part in the pricing, but they usually ask what the box contains and it's value, too.  I usually reply with "repair parts for a toy, value two bucks."

I occasionally make custom boxes, using the heavy cardboard used to ship appliances - it's strong enough to protect the contents as long as they're not sliding around within the box.
