<p>I'm new to the hobby and starting my first layout. I'm reading Kalmbach's Trackwork and Lineside Detail book and it has a few chapters on building track from scratch and building turnouts from scratch. I have to ask, why would you do that when you can just buy track and turnouts that are already assembled? It seems like a great deal of work that doesn't really need to be done. I'd like to know what the benefits are before I start building my layout in case, that really is the way to go. </p><p> </p><p>MIke Brubaker </p>
