Hand laying your own On30 scale #6 Turnouts is not as hard as you might think! Tools and technology designed and manufactured by Fast Tracks make it possible for you to build your own high-quality, NMRA compliant turnouts.
With this On30, #6 turnout assembly fixture, you can build an unlimited supply of turnouts when you need them, at the comfort of your workbench, in about an hour. Fast Tracks, the turnout assembly fixture system developer, has been producing its line of extremely precise tools since 2003. We've worked out all the details to make building trackwork as easy as possible, so now any modeler can produce the most accurate, best-looking, and smoothest operating trackwork available.
Build turnouts that not only look great but will eliminate track related derailments and frustration.
Fast Tracks assembly fixtures will help you build high-quality hand-laid track that:
Each assembly fixture can be used to build right or left Turnouts.
To finish off your trackwork, add our matching QuickSticks to your order. These laser-cut wood ties will make finishing turnouts a snap, glue the complete set of pre-cut ties to the turnout, and it's done! We also offer traditional single piece wood turnout ties as well.
If you order a Fast Tracks assembly fixture, we highly recommend that you consider purchasing matching PointForm and StockAid filing tools. This will make the construction of the switch and frog points much easier.
In addition to code 100 rail, you will also need to purchase matching 0.0625" (1.6mm), (5 scale inches) thick, CopperHead PC board turnout ties manufactured by Fast Tracks.

| PARAMETER | VALUE | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|
| Default Turnout Length | 14" (356 mm) | This is the length of the turnout on the QuickSticks. Measured from end tie to end tie. |
| Minimum Turnout Length | 8.6" (218 mm) | This is the shortest possible turnout length. Measured from the end PC board tie to end PC board tie. |
| Diverging Route Angle | 9.46 (Decimal) 9°/27'/36"(D/M/S) 1:6 (Ratio) | Decimal = Frog angle in decimal degrees D/M/S = Deg/Min/Sec Ratio = Frog angle expressed as a ratio |
| Diverging Route Radius | 43" (1092 mm) | The minimum radius in a straight turnout. |
| Tie Spacing (Prototype) | 21" (533 mm) | Tie spacing center of tie to center of tie. |
| Tie Size (Model) | L - 1.5" (38 mm) W - 0.15" (4 mm) H - 0.0625" (2 mm) | The actual size of the tie. |

| Track Gauge | 0.66" (17 mm) | The distance between the stock rails. |
| Substitution Radius | 47.5" (1207 mm) | The approximate radius that the diverging route of a turnout can be fit into. This calculation was made using the shortest possible turnout length measured from the edges of the PC board ties, not the wood ties. |
| Size | L - 11" (279 mm) W - 6" (152 mm) H - 0.25" (6 mm) | The physical size of the product |

This fully illustrated document provides complete details for building switches using Fast Tracks tools & supplies. These instructions apply to Turnouts, Wyes & Curved Turnouts in all scales and include essential information for building any fixture-built trackwork.
Do you already own a Fast Tracks Assembly Fixture? Then you can use the same fixture and tools you have now to build a stub turnout with QuickSticks and PC Board ties.
We offer a number of different types of PointForm tools. This document provides general instructions on how to use a PointForm tool. These instructions apply to all PointForm tools.
Using the StockAid tool to remove the base of the stock rail in a turnout. These instructions apply to all sizes of StockAid tools.
This Builders Guide details how to complete building your switch using QuickSticks laser-cut wood ties.
Step-by-step videos demonstrate how to build a complete switch using a Fast Tracks assembly fixture, PointForm, StockAid, and other tools.
Cutting each PC Board tie to the length you need for a turnout can be tedious and drawn-out. Here Tim demonstrates how the Fast Tracks TieBreaker tool speeds up the process, reducing the construction time for a turnout by as much as 30%!
The Multi-Brush makes applying just he right amount of solder flux quick and easy. You will also find it a handy brush to have around for general model construction as well.
Using the right soldering iron to solder trackwork is critical to success. We recommend the 35 watt Weller pencil type soldering iron with the ST7 conical shaped soldering tip. Watch along as we demonstrate how to get the most from this soldering equipment.
Detail about the solder supplied by Fast Tracks for building all types of model trackwork.
We thought you might like this short video we produced showing the process of cutting rail gaps to isolate the frog in a Fast Tracks turnout electrically. This step is critical and can not be skipped. Otherwise, the track will have a dead short and can not be powered.
We are often asked if we have made a video on painting trackwork, and to date, we have not. Back in 2009, we produced a slideshow for MRH Magazine on how we finish turnouts, but it is no longer available from them, so we reproduced it and uploaded it here.
A step-by-step instructional video on how to add a simple center over spring to a Fast Tracks (or other) turnout. With this simple spring, you can manually switch a turnout without needing any switch machine!
Building highly accurate frogpoints is made fast and simple with the Fast Tracks PointForm tool. Here is a detailed demonstration showing you how it works.
