HO-HOn3.5 dual gauge, right-hand turnout with the narrow gauge on the left side have been specially designed for trackwork built with Fast Tracks dual gauge assembly fixtures. QuickSticks laser cut ties let you construct complete, ready-to-run dual gauge turnouts right at your workbench!
Using our track assembly fixtures, you build what we call a "skeleton." This skeleton will have PC Board ties located at key locations to keep the piece of trackwork in gauge. To finish the trackwork, our Laser Cut QuickSticks are used. With a single step, all the remaining wood ties are added to the pre-built skeleton, and the trackwork is ready to be installed.
Now anyone can build inexpensive, hand-laid trackwork that:
QuickSticks are cut from Baltic Birch plywood custom sawn in Finland specifically for Fast Tracks. The wood grain runs perpendicular to the rails. The ties are 7" thick and 9" wide (scale). They will match all popular commercially available wood ties, including wood ties available from Fast Tracks.
QuickSticks on this page are the Non-Drilled version. We offer Quicksticks with either drilled or non-drilled wood ties. The version you choose is a matter of personal preference. The non-drilled version has trackwork fastened to it with Pliobond adhesive. Pliobond will provide a solid bond for a lifetime as its bond increases over time and is very reliable. Spiking onto our drilled QuickSticks will provide a mechanical bond that some modelers prefer, but requires a bit more time to install. Not all ties are pre-drilled, only ties at key locations to allow the turnout to be fastened in place.
Gluing QuickSticks to trackwork.
Non-drilled versions of QuickSticks laser cut ties are designed to be glued to the rails using using Pliobond glue. If you prefer, a drilled version is available that is designed to be spiked.
