Specially designed for trackwork built with Fast Tracks assembly fixtures, QuickSticks laser cut ties lets you construct fully complete, ready-to-run HO scale Slip Switches right at your workbench!

Combined with trackwork that you build with a Fast Tracks HO Slip Switch assembly fixture, QuickSticks laser cut ties offers the first real alternative to store bought and traditional hand laid track. Now anyone can build inexpensive, hand laid trackwork that:

Looks Great! - With realistic looking trackwork on wood ties
Is easy to Build - With results that rival even the most experienced modelers
Performs Perfectly - Completely eliminates derailments
Can Be Built Quickly - Build a fully complete Slip Switch in less than an hour!
Lets You Work in Comfort - Build ready-to-run trackwork right at your workbench

QuickSticks are cut from Baltic Birch plywood custom sawn in Finland specifically for Fast Tracks. The wood grain runs perpendicular to the rails. The ties are 7" (178 mm) thick and 9" (229 mm) wide (scale)and will match all popular commercially available wood ties, including wood ties available from Fast Tracks.

This version of QuickSticks laser cut ties are designed to be glued to the rails using using Pliobond glue. If you prefer, a drilled version is available that is designed to be spiked.

HO scale, Slip Switch, #8 QuickSticks are 100% compatible with Slip Switches constructed with the Fast Tracks HO scale Slip Switch assembly fixture.
