This thread is inspiring me to try constructing my own turnouts--the potential combination of better quality, lower cost (?), and not having to wait for backorders sounds unbeatable. <br><br>But I have a question for those of you who are using FastTracks. How difficult is it to get commercial flextrack and your handlaid turnouts to look similar? Don't you end up with ties looking substantially different (and spikes or lack thereof)? Or are you also laying all of your own track by hand? Building turnouts sounds like a fun challenge--laying a hundred feet of track sounds tedious.<br>
