[quote user="cacole"] <P>I fasten turnouts down with caulking at each end beyond any moving parts, and then very lightly ballast the area where there are moving parts.</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Yep. Same exact process for me. To me "float" means that I don't solder them, not that they're not fastened down at all. I do caulk them down very lightly though, quite a bit thinner layer of caulk than on my regular track.</P>
