WHICH MAKE OF TURNOUTS?

[nachoman]

I think Nachoman was hand laying some fine dual gauge turnouts...and Tetters build a gorgeous double slip using Fast Track jigs. I've built a couple 3-way stub switches...but I bow to Tetters and Nachoman for both the quality and awesomeness of theirs'.

Yep, that was me. Dual guage turnouts are a headache, because you have to accomodate both standard and narrow gauge flanges. In other words, flangeways that are big enough to accomodate standard gauge flanges may be too large to properly keep narrow gauge wheels smoothly on the track. The two that I have built seem to work quite well in the very limited testing I have given them (I will soon be testing them more rigorously). They are kinda fun to build though. With the experience building the dual-gaugers, the single-gauge turnouts are a snap. I could probably "turn out" a turout in an hour.
