Reply to "Micro Engineering turnout fix? Darned thing is borken at the points..."

I had to order replacements (I'm so unimpressed with the design, I've ordered two of each, just in case I have problems with them as well) for these turnouts but managed to get to my local hobby shop right before work yesterday to nab a one of the two i need to replace as I doubt the Micro Mark order will get here by this weekend.

One turnout had some ties pop off the rails permanently just from being taken out of the package. Micro Engineering's ad copy should read, "Convining modelers to hand-lay their own track, one product at a time," due to the ridiculously fragile nature of their products.

Just had to vent a bit. If this is all that happens, I'll be fine as some ACC will surely fix this minor thing. I've never seen any track products this fragile.

This weekend, the plan is to break out the soldering iron and try to figure out how to remove a turnout and re-install in the same place as I've never done that before when everything's soldered in place...
