Great product and even better step by step instructions!!! I am just jumping back into the hobby after a 20 year break. Never dreamed of making my own turnouts but HOn3 is pretty limited.
So far I have built six turnouts and I have to say the Fast Tracks kit have made the work very satisfying. The filing jig makes the preparation of the frog rails and the point blades a simple matter.

An understanding wife, bedtime for the kids, 4 hours, 3 beers and I am now looking at the best turnout I have ever seen. It runs like silk and I am thrilled. I did not expect the first one to be this good. The videos are excellent!

If you are considering using Fast Track, I strongly encourage you to do so. The instructional videos are priceless. Get the point form tool, the stock aid, and tie breaking tool plus any others they recommend that you don't have.

I suffered a severe stroke which has left me right-side disabled. Each switch may take me a little more time to make than someone using both hands, but the design of the kits, make handmade track easy to make. And if I can do it, anyone can!

The only problem I have now is that I'm unsatisfied with the way everyone's track looks next to my Fast Tracks turnouts so I've decided to hand lay my three level layout with all Fast Tracks! You have a customer for life!

I have all of the jigs to construct museum quality track along with the many sweep sticks, curved and straight the same with twist ties, turnout twist ties for weys, double slip, three way and double crossovers making track laying a snap.

The first one worked so good I ordered the second one. Easy to use and in gauge every time.

I have handlaid track but never considered handbuilding a turnout. Built my first Fast Tracks #6 turnout this weekend while watching football. Couldn't believe that I started and finished my first turnout in less time than I spent watching the game.
I have no soldering experience or hand laying experience but after 2 hours I had a decent looking #6 turnout. Was second guessing code 55 but it was much easier than I thought.

Your website, although it too is one of the best I've ever used, doesn't do justice to the actual product.
Thank you for such an amazing contribution to the hobby.

Hi guys. Just wanted to say thanks for getting my order to me so quickly. I will be building a 30" by 80" switching layout using all handlaid track and turnouts. Something I have never done. All of the material you sent me will be put to good use.
