… that I will build my own turnouts from now on. 
Your fine trackwork inspired me so much that I had to try it someday. Now that I am planning some major changes on my layout, I need some left hand turnouts, but as so often, the Micro Engineering TO’s I need are not available. I don’t want to wait for ages, so I took a Fast Tracks track template, printed it out and started to build my first turnout … and I must say that I am really delighted how it turned out 
. Because I had to use what I had at hand, the PC ties were cut from a piece of PC board and the rails were taken from old and used ME code 70 flex track. Cutting the ties was quite boring, so today I ordered PC ties and wooden ties from Fast Tracks for my next attempts. Won’t do a double crossover any time soon , but the next one I am going to build will be a beautiful, long #10 Y.
