<p>I am guessing that you are using a jig to make the turnouts.  If not, you might try building the turnout in place (Tony Koester did a video on MRVP).  If you build it in place, you can ballast before installing rail, eliminating the need to protect anything.  Just a thought.</p> <p>I constructed a working #4 turnout using this method.  I laid out the ties using Fast Tracks paper template.  I used their Point form tool, Stock aid and Frog helper to make the turnout.  I did not use any copper ties (except throwbar).  Just NMRA guage and spikes.</p>
