with Gary....Having been blessed with 5 thumbs in each hand I can only imagine what a handlaid turnout would turn out like after I got through with it... :cry: I recall "helping" my ol' man build several turnouts back in the days when TV was in B&W...so I figured it was an easy task. Not so...I tried my hand at building a simple 90 deg. crossing and ended up with a jumble of track and solder splattered all over the roadbed.Just looking at Wolfgang's DUAL GAUGE Y, and Tt's double crossover makes my skin crawl.So I stick with off-the-shelf turnouts (Peco) which are extremely reliable and look as close to the real thing as you can get...
