I save all the scraps from the laser cut tie jigs to make more rustic turnouts. I take a file and file some "slop" in the tie locater slots. Then glue the jig to a pine board, when I'm done with the turnout skeleton, and after I place individual wood ties in the slots in the "new" old jig I then glue the turnout down. So I'm not limited to using the laser cut ties, and this way I can model a turnout whoms ties have shifted a bit, getting that more random look you often see in Yards and industry spurs. works well, just insure you don't get too carried away when you increase the "slots" width. That way the turnouts don't look like they were installed by Mr Magoo! You only need a few scale inches to get the effect.
