I am about to start on a layout. Have had past experience handlaying track. I would also like to build my own turnouts. The space will be approximately 16' X 12' in HO and I will be running a double mainline with passenger consists pulled by 4-6-2 and 4-6-4 steamers, E7s, DL109's and FP7's besides freight drags. I already have CVT turnout kits in #7 and #9 and Proto87 frog kits to use with. Minimum radius will probably be 30".
I would like to know if any others have experience with Fast Tracks products I may use in conjunction with the stuff I already have so I can construct my own frogs in the future. I'm leaning toward #8 and #9 for now. As you know they are pricey so I don't want to procure ones I wouldn't use much. Turnouts will be mostly for building staging yards for the passenger cars but also some freight.
