You know, depending on where you shop for track, for the cost of a couple of Peco turnouts you could purchase the Point Form Tool of your choice from FT's and it will help take the guess work out of shaping those frog points and point rails. I have a # 5 and a # 6 and shaped so many frogs and switch points I've lost count. Even after all that filing they are still excellent tools. If you do decide pick one up, get the PointForm Tool for Crossovers. It has the additional groove cut in it for the secondary frog points. Just my very humble suggestion.
