Thanks Charlie
I re-laid the tack over the past couple days.
I started by gluing the turnout in place with some latex caulking, then making some tie strips with my home-made tie jig.
Ties were glued into place and dried over night
I then hand-laid the dual gauge tracks. it took a couple hours to do the 3 1/2" of track. I ended up re-using what I could of the original rail, plus some other code 70 that I had laying around. I had just enough plus a bit to repair the other three tracks.
I have glued the ties down for the other three tracks but haven't gone further. Those are going to be a different challenge as the rail has been pulled up with the scenery still intact.
