I used lots of BK's years ago since there wasn't much else out there,
especially in 125. Most of them had to be redone but it was faster than scratch
building. Original Tomalcos were OK as were Eschleman years ago. Larry's first
Tomalcos were as John says but his later ones have been much better in my
experience. Billy Wade had some that wern't bad but they disappeared from the
market. Wish Fast Tracks had been around years earlier.

Subject: {S-Scale List} Turnouts
I have 18 Tomalco turnouts on my layout. The rails on every one of them were
out of gauge and all the back to back spacing on the guard rails were bad.
Towards the end of the Tomalcos I was de-soldering the guardrails, prior to
installing the turnout, and using PC ties & soldering the guardrails after
getting the rails in gauge. They have been a lot of work to get in gauge. Greg
Elems has helped with that effort and also donated a Fast Track # 6 which works
perfectly. I also have 2 Custom Trax #6's which are also excellent. I have a BK
Enterprises Wye which I installed on the ties that were supplied, much faster
than repairing the problems with the Tomalco, cheaper and it works just fine.
