Years ago, Kalmbach Video produced a tape, hosted by Lorell Joiner, that will answer all your questions about handlaying track. If you can locate or borrow a copy, then by all means do it. I also build all my visible turnouts using the information in the article by Tony Koester. I have not found a commercial turnout that works or looks as good. I handlay tangent track only where people can put their noses right into the scene, otherwise I use both Shinohara and Rail Craft code 70 track on visible portions of my layout. All my staging is Atlas code 100 flextrack, and my staging area turnouts are built from an article in published in MR eons ago. These turnouts use code 100 rail and are of the moveable frog variety, just like the old Tru-Scale hi-speed turnouts. <br /> <br />Tom
