…..................…--- #6 Turnout Code 55 Tie Gluing Jig ---

. ...--- Use to place individual ties under turnout. ---

=========================================

You can find all the files to 3D print this object and others on my thingiverse.com account ( HERE ).

This is a jig/fixture, actually three of them, that will hold the ties in place for gluing under a #6 turnout that was created using a Fast Track fixture or one of their printable templates. I was using a tape method shown ( HERE ) that I also use for other curved and straight turnouts of different sizes. I'll still probably continue using that for most of the turnouts I do other than the #6's which I've made a lot of and will probably make a lot more of as it takes some time to design the jig/fixtures you see below.

Hopefully the following pictures will pretty much show how to use these jigs/fixtures.

====================================

NOTE: I now prefer using CA glue to attach the turnout to the ties. I show the method I use on the next page ( HERE ). Be sure and check it out before making a decision. I like it a lot better than using Pliobond but will leave the following on this page for those that prefer it.

The jig/fixture is faster than using the tape method of holding the ties but that is still a viable method and I'll continue to use it for other turnouts that I make in low quantities.
