I agree completely. I've installed a couple dozen code 70s that perform very well after some gauge and guard rail adjustments as mentioned. Even with the tweeking it takes me about 15-20 minutes to install one. Let's remember that the original questions was looking for drop in RTR code 100 #6s.

The Tomalco turnouts are the best in my opinion. Bert CutlerCincinnati, Ohio To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2010 05:22:17 +0000 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.
