I'm busy with turnout building.

For my new Pueblo & Salt Lake RR I need quite a few turnouts, more than 50 for the finished layout. My dual gauge staging yard is a loop, therefore I need a transition track.

Here's a code 70 #6 turnout with adjacent transition track.

I was wondering if anyone on this group has tried using the Scenic Express Yellow Aspen Leaf flock, while making Aspen trees?

Did you like the results, texture and color?

Since Aspen leaves are round, I was looking for flock that is mini round disks.

Hard to tell from their website if their flock is round like I am looking for.

i have walther, and tilig turnouts on my layout,( the tiligs where bought yrs ago when i was told that they were the answer for dcc). they both have problems with wheels dropping into the gap on the frog.,even thought the frogs have a" base " in them. i have been reading joe's articles about fast tracts and his hand built turnouts. i have also read many other articles about hand laying turnouts and to the best of my memory all of the others discuss "filling" the frog to create a base for the flange to roll on as it goes thought the frog.

For Jarhead and others contemplating a larger layout - careful you don't let your layout turn out like this:
