Soooo.... those #5 turnouts continue to cause me great pain and suffering. I was drilling a hole for a feeder wire near the end of one of these turnouts. My drill chuck just touched the end of the stock outside rail which then proceeded to wind around my drill bit pulling the track from the turnout like a banana peel, ripping up the turnout and about a foot of track beyond :oops: :oops:

I have a pic of the turnout and you will have to see it to believe it.... rail looks like a clock spring and a $30 turnout is destroyed sigh.. :cry:

try to post an image tonight or tomorrow so you guys can have a laugh.... errrr share my pain
