Some handlaying track sources: Model Railroader, Sept 1998: "Handlaying Code 40 Turnouts in N Scale" (This is the one you really want - teaches you to solder tiny rail on PC ties) Model Railroader, Dec 1989" "Building a turnout from Scratch" (in this article, the track is spiked - possibly not what you want for N scale, particularly smaller code rail) Model Railroader, April and May 1991: Handlaying Track on the On3 Crown Mountain Division" (bigger scale, but does soldering again). A couple more to check out (click on the magazine index above) are Jan/Feb 2004 - Roque Bluffs and Sept 1989 F & S Junction - handlaying track & turnouts. For some online info, check out www.sdsons.org - the website of the San Diego Society of N-scale. Dig around on their site and I'm pretty sure you'll find some turnout standards, recommended practices, etc. In my opinion, a lot of these "how to" articles are more useful than the NMRA standards. Enjoy... Oh, for some more handlaid N scale track inspiration, check out this guy's layout: http://members.aol.com/wdenton101/index.htm?f=fs
