Hi,
First two attempts at making turnouts.
The first was a bit of a struggle but I learned from that. The second went much better yet I still learned a thing or two. The third one (still in the works) is looking better still.
They both look a little rough but my test car rolls through without any problems.
JFYI I used rosin core solder alone for the first one but used acid flux with the rosin core solder on the second. The acid flux makes things go much better.
I never would have attempted to make turnouts if it weren't for Fast Tracks. Thanks Tim & Ron!
Should I paint these (along with all the flex track) after installing them on the layout or before?
Thanks!
