The initial cost of the Fast Track turnout fixtures has certainly paid for itself as you built your turnouts. I understand you had your first operating session. I am curious as to how smooth your trains were traversing through all of them.
When I am ready to start building my permanent, I'm going to invest in Fast Tracks... Nice work.
The trains ran very smoothly for a first time op session. Only a few derailments. Since then, I've run the trains a lot more and have found even more areas that need work. Mostly re-gauging wheel sets and filing turnout frogs and points. I'm confident that eventually I will be able to get things to the point of zero derailments. The hardest thing to conquer is backing up long trains with truck mounted couplers.
Very inspiring!
