The Quicksticks are made to be used with their assembly jig. The Twist Ties can be curved to pretty much any radius. Why bother placing each tie over a plan when you can just match the ties to the BK curved turnout assembly. That's the idea anyways. http://www.handlaidtrack.com/TwistTies-Curvable-Wood-Ties-for-S-Scale-Turnouts-Right-s/840.htm Jonathan --- In mailto:S-Scale%40yahoogroups.com, Edward Sauers <ehsauers1@...> wrote: > > Jonathan, >  > Are you referring to the Fasttracks "quickstick" ties?
