Hi Rob,
What works well for me is to pre-bend a length of rail to the same radius as the grooves in the fixture. This can be easily done by pulling the rail through three fingers until you form a consistent curve in the rail. Cut about 2 inches off the ends of this rail, as it is very difficult to get a consistent bend near the ends, they have a tendency to remain straight. Use this curved section of rail to form the frog points as it will hold its curved shape at the point, which is very important for a curved turnout to function properly.
