Thank you Mike!
For expanding Clearwater I needed one more #5 turnout than I had at home.
I decided to build my first turnout for myself (never did it before - no guts no glory!).
I painted the sleepers on a sheet of paper and put it under glas.
I cut sleepers from a circuit board, fixed them with carpet tape (adhesive from both sides),
cut some rails and began welding.
Some two hours later my first turnout was finished.
It works very well - I am satisfied. Here is the result:
