Select Product Photo or Video:

Copper cladded fiberglass PC Board "ties" are used at strategic points in hand laid trackwork to permanently hold the rails in gauge. The PC Board ties are soldered into place with wood ties added to complete the trackwork.

When painted the PC Board ties will become nearly invisible, blending in with the wood ties.

Fast Tracks PC Board ties are stamped rather than sheared, producing a perfectly flat tie with no twisting or warping. The copper cladding is paper thin allowing you to cut the copper with a small file or rotary tool to isolate the rails. Both sides of the tie are copper cladded.

Using our printable tie templates you can cut the ties to the lengths you need for your turnout. The longest tie used in any Fast Tracks assembly fixture is 16 1/2 feet. While specifically designed to fit all Fast Tracks assembly fixtures, they can also be used for hand constructed trackwork.

HO standard gauge ties are 17 scale feet long by 9 scale inches wide (.104"), and are 1/16" thick. Ties are sold in bundles of 100 pieces - enough to build approximately 10 turnouts. 1/32" thick ties are also available here.

PC Board ties arealso available as part of a track building kit that includes all of the supplies and tools that you need to start building complete turnouts. Click here to learn more.
