For this project Im only hand laying things that are not turnouts.  Why?  I have a whole lot of atlas flex track with liquid nails, cork and ballast stuck on.  Ive got plenty of PECO code 100 turnouts that I salvaged from my previous layout for this project.  They were easier to clean as I used significantly less liquid nails, and they are worth the time to clean up and re-use, plastic injection molded ties on flex track, not so. Wood ties look better, and are about $0.01 each (Im cutting them from 3/32 square stripwood). I started off spiking every 3rd tie, because I can zone out a bit and just spike the first open tie next to the Micro Engineering triangular track guage.
