I find laying track by hand and building turnouts when I get to them, and build them to whatever frog number it turns out to be to go where I want it to go to be a therapeutic endeavor ... I quite enjoy it ... it gives me great feelings of satisfaction when I watch a few cars snake smoothly through my turnout!

Sure, it takes a little longer than using track nails to bed a section of flex-track, but to me, I'm having more hobby fun for my buck, if you compare money spent vs. time spent. Big Grin

And, I just like the way it looks!

So, if you like doing it, and it looks good and works well ... then, by all means, keep doing it!
