We are so exited about this new product line that we are going to release it a day ahead of schedule!

Have a troublesome spot on your layout where you just can't fit in the trackwork you want because of an obstruction, such as this tree? Well we have a solution for you! New from Fast Tracks, "S"curved turnouts!

The latest from the R&D team at Fast Tracks, this S curved 18" double radius #10 turnout is bound to eliminate all sorts of operating issues! Specifically designed to wiggle around obstructions on your layout, such as an unfortunately placed sewer pipe or childs bedroom, this innovative new trackwork design should make all your problems go away. Imagine how much fun it's going to be watching a long string of 90' double stacks backing through this switch at full speed!

Fast Tracks CEO and Founder Tim Warris was reached for comments. Tim says "What on earth are those idiots doing now? I go away for a couple days..."

Price and availability TBD.

S curved turnout

I thought that looked familiar. It's the old P&LE industrial trackage at West Pittsburg, PA. The photographer has it incorrectly labeled as New Castle, which is right up the road. This trackage is near the CSX West Pittsburg yard that is still in service.

This area has changed quite a bit, the tracks and most of the industry are now gone, but if you're looking for a couple of odd turnouts with a diamond in the middle, here is your prototype

Cheers,

Got an idea

Street trackage!!!!!!​ especially were there is a jog in the street with another doing a Y split. It might help if it was designed with a 14" R.

That is a good one for April.

That is a good one for April. The art work is superb. I expect there will be a few orders. I know people that would consider buying it.
