Three way turnouts are great space savers, especially in rail yards where there never seems to be enough space to fit in 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 not any more difficult to construct than a standard turnout and only take a little longer to build. Fast Tracks Standard Three Way turnouts are a "lapped" design, meaning it's made of two turnouts slightly in front of each other as opposed to a symmetrical three-way.

Use our Three Way turnout fixture to build switches that not only look great, but will completely 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

Can Be Built Quickly - Build a 3-way in less than an hour!

If you order a Fast Tracks assembly fixture, we highly recommend that you consider purchasing matching PointForm and StockAid tool. They can be easily added to your purchase by selecting it from the options on the right hand side of this page.

Usual excellent Fast Tracks fixture, but what's really amazing, is the unbelievable service they provided me with a S Gauge 3 way Turnout fixture in just a few days. Building the turnout was as I've experienced in the past; pure perfection!
