   PC Board Ties

PC Board ties are copper cladded fiberglass board ties that are soldered to the rails at strategic points of the turnout to ensure that the rails are permanently held in gauge. Designed to provide the best results with a Fast Tracks assembly fixture, they can also be used by skilled modelers who prefer to construct their trackwork by hand.
