Please see the attached photo. Does anyone know if this can be repaired? Steve I suspect the effort involved will not be worth it. The pieces of rail leading up to the frog have also been damaged, and I suspect that the process of getting them upright again will cause them to detach. Also the hinge points for the moving rails have been broken off, and I don't know how you would repair those. For the cost and reliability I would get a new point.
