Three way turnouts are great space savers, especially in rail yards where there never seems to be enough space to fit everything we need. Quite a bit of space can be saved by working in a Three Way turnout to your design. Our Three Way turnouts are no more difficult to construct than a standard turnout and only take a little longer to build.
This HOn3 Stub three way fixture will produce the portion of a stub three way turnout beyond the bridle. We do not have the tools to fabricate the movable bridles.
Use our Three Way turnout fixture to build switches that look great and eliminate track-related derailments and frustration.
Fast Tracks assembly fixtures will help you build high quality hand laid track that:
- Is Highly Accurate - Build 3-ways that stay in perfect gauge - permanently
- Performs Perfectly - Eliminates track-related derailments
- Is Economical - Build hundreds of 3-ways with one fixture
- Is Easy To Build - No special skills needed
- Can Be Built Quickly - Build a 3-way in less than an hour!
- Looks Great! - Get results that rival even the most experienced modelers
- Lets You Work in Comfort - Build trackwork at your workbench
- Is NMRA Compliant - Will work with any NMRA compliant equipment
If you order a Fast Tracks assembly fixture, we highly recommend that you consider purchasing a matching PointForm and StockAid tool. They can be easily added to your purchase by selecting them from the Supplies Tab above.
This product is part of our Craftsman Series of tools designed for modelers who want to go that 'extra mile to produce outstanding trackwork. It would help if you were prepared to spend extra time and effort learning how to use this product. Click here to learn more about our Craftsman Series of tools.

| Minimum Turnout Length | 7.2" (183 mm) | This is the shortest possible turnout length. Measured from the end PC board tie to end PC board tie. |
| Diverging Route Angle | 9.46 (Decimal) 9°/27'/36"(D/M/S) 1:6 (Ratio) | Decimal = Frog angle in decimal degrees D/M/S = Deg/Min/Sec Ratio = Frog angle expressed as a ratio |
| Diverging Route Radius | 28" (711 mm) | The minimum radius in a straight turnout. |
| Tie Spacing (Prototype) | 22" (559 mm) | Tie spacing center of tie to center of tie. |
| Tie Size (Model) | L - 0.97" (25 mm) W - 0.08" (2 mm) H - 0.0625" (2 mm) | The actual size of the tie. |

Using The Multi-Brush Solder Paste Applicator For Soldering Trackwork
The Multi-Brush makes applying just he right amount of solder flux quick and easy. You will also find it a handy brush to have around for general model construction as well.
Using The 35W Weller Soldering Iron For Model Railroad Trackwork
Using the right soldering iron to solder trackwork is critical to success. We recommend the 35 watt Weller pencil type soldering iron with the ST7 conical shaped soldering tip. Watch along as we demonstrate how to get the most from this soldering equipment.
Solder Overview
Detail about the solder supplied by Fast Tracks for building all types of model trackwork.
Cutting Rail Gaps
We thought you might like this short video we produced showing the process of cutting rail gaps to isolate the frog in a Fast Tracks turnout electrically. This step is critical and can not be skipped. Otherwise, the track will have a dead short and can not be powered.
Painting Trackwork Slideshow
We are often asked if we have made a video on painting trackwork, and to date, we have not. Back in 2009, we produced a slideshow for MRH Magazine on how we finish turnouts, but it is no longer available from them, so we reproduced it and uploaded it here.
Using The Fast Tracks PointForm Tool To Build Frogpoints
Building highly accurate frogpoints is made fast and simple with the Fast Tracks PointForm tool. Here is a detailed demonstration showing you how it works.

The HOn3 3-way stub turn out may be the easyist turn out I have ever built ! Without this fixture I tried a number of times to construct free lance version of 3-way stubs and they never worked. FAST TRACKS did it again other than a few Micro Engineering ready made turnouts, Almost all my turn are from Fast Tracks home build turnout fixtuers to make sure I have really sound turnout on my DCC system 27 down 24 to 33 to go!
