After building over 30 turnouts I've come up with some tips that might help you if you are just starting out building turnouts or want to look at other possible solutions. I started by using Fast Tracks build instructions and would still recommend that for someone new to this. Then look at what others and myself have done and see if you find a combination that works well for you. I'll probably end us still doing things a little different 50 turnouts from now as you keep finding ways to do it faster and better. I put a lot of pictures and text on my site here... http://1fatgmc.com/RailRoad/Trackwork/page-12.html To much to put it all here but will put up a few pictures to give you an idea what I've posted, Lost more here... http://1fatgmc.com/RailRoad/Trackwork/Trackwork-Index.html Sumner
