"used a Fast Tracks scale fixture borrowed from a club member to make the turnouts on my layout, and I modified the guard rail placement to make them hirail."
TT scale has a similar problem when trying to mix old USA TT equipment with newer Euro equipment. The Euro stuff has larger flanges that won't fit thru the finer USA frogs/guard rails but I found I could build a turnout that would take both by making the flangeways deep enough to accept Euro flanges and then leaving off the guard rails so the narrower Euro back to back measurement doesn't matter. As long as the tracks are laid fair the guardrails are not a necessity so this might work for making scale S/ hirail turnouts......DaveB
