Reply to "Still Trying To Figure Out What Direction To Pursue In S Advice Please"

I do not have any Fox Valley turnouts so I have not seen them up close. What I would do is start with highrail turnouts and narrow the guard and wing rail gaps with plastic shims. Then build up the insert at the frog to just the point that the highrail wheels hit them. The scale wheels drop slightly but with the narrower wing rails they will not derail. When the turnouts are finished the dime wheel gauge method still works on the Gilbert and Lionel wheels. I re-gauged over 100 cars with a dime for the new layout.
