This weekend, I made my first turnouts with my new FastTracks jig. Two #8 left and one #8 right. The first one took right at two hours to complete and another hour to figure out what was wrong with it. The second one took an hour and a half. The third was right at an hour.
I like the looks of them alot, each one gets smoother and I’m of the opinion after another 3 or 4, I’ll feel pretty good about building them. What I like the most about them is that I should be able to easily build any required replacement parts I’ll ever need and they really don’t amount to much in the way of material. Less than one piece of flex track per turnout, about 75 cents worth of PC ties and some wooden ties.
