I have forgotten the precise use of this jig. However, I think that it is for use in the milling machine, to produce baseplates for the mainline moving point frog junctions.

The hole at the left of the image is a pivot hole. The middle movable slot is for adjusting the angle of something, probably the workpiece. I have completely forgotten the use of the brass attachment at the right side.

There are four of these jigs, all different, two for the inner track, two for the outer track; they ensure that the rails are assembled so that the tracks on mating modules line up properly, see specification. Corresponding to the specification, these jigs are positioned by the interface locating pins and position the track rails appropriately. The rail joiners are rail-specific, in this case, for Llagas Creek codes 215 and 250.
