Hi Bill -- I use Tomalco flex (all rail sizes, both S and Sn3) and Shinohara turnouts (#8 very slightly modified, #6 totally rebuilt).A large percentage of the trackwork is handlaid because it is dual gauge. Have fun! Bill Winans -- Hi, Once agin the question comes to me, what are the most used [favorite] turnouts in S Scale? Whose track is now the most used?

I use Tomalco flex and hand build my turnouts using the Fast Tracks fixtures.
They are very reliable with no wheel drop at the frog.

RE: {S-Scale List} Turnouts and track
It's said that there are four stages to track in the life of a model
railroader:
1 - Sectional
2 - Flextrack
3 - Handlaid
4 - Flextrack
I'm in stage 3. Laid in place on wooden ties. Although I do use a Fast
Tracks PointForm tool to speed up filing points, I don't use their jigs.

Re: {S-Scale List} Turnouts and track
Bill,
My 100+ turnouts are a mixture of Old Pullman and BK kits, point and frog
castings, and a sprinkling of Whites and Shinoharas. Most of these have been
picked up at swap meets over the years at bargain prices. Where there have
been special situations, or where I just felt like it, I scratch built about
25. I purchased mostly Tomalco flextrack, but had some used Shinohara from
swap meets as well.
