Turnouts the Original question: I would say try the Custom Trax turnout. He does need lead time but they truly are RTR. I'm glad there are folks who have had success with Tomalco with some tweaking. I would have been pleased to have just had to tweak. As always have your NASG gauge handy. I will say my Tomalco code 100 and code 83 flextrack from Tomalco are great. John Currie
