3D model description

Our club builds our own turnouts and to simplify construction I designed these ties to fit the Fast Tracks templates for #6 fixture.

https://www.handlaidtrack.com/

This sped up construction and found it easier to line up the turnouts as we build these complete on the workbench then lay them out on the layout. I found PETG filament to hold up better when soldering track feeds or fixing points as it takes a higher heat.

Pliobond cement works well holding the track to the ties. Use 1/16 PC board ties and the bond between the PC ties and plastic ties holds very well. Club members have also use CA glue with good results
