An amazing looking turnout! I think we have the same set of wire strippers! ;D  Love them!

Thanks for the comments Jerry, Rich, Larry, Curt Rick and Philips.

Rich, every piece of rail gets a feeder.

Philip,  I really like the wire strippers, they are one of the few pair that strips wire down to 30G.

Howdy Ron,

Wow, those turnouts are amazing.  Did you draw the turnouts, then build them on top of the template?

Have fun,
mike
My current build is the Layout scenery and miscellaneous rolling stock .

Mike, thanks for the complement.

The straight turnouts are a #5 built with a Fast Track jig.  I drew out the curved turnouts, printed out the template (1 have access to a 36" wide plotter) and built the curved turnouts on the printed template.  The outside rails are a single piece.
