This is a jig/fixture, actually seven of them, that will hold the ties in place for gluing under a straight turnout that was created using a printable template. I was using a tape method shown ( HERE ) but these make the task much more enjoyable. I created the spacing for the ties using a Fast Tracks printable template for a code 55 straight turnout.
Unlike the fixtures for a curved turnout where the ties are on a shallow arc all of the ties in these fixtures are parallel to each other.
If you haven't seen the page before this one please go back to it ( HERE ) to see how to use these fixtures.
As you can see above there are fixtures that will hold 2 to 8 ties. Pick the appropriate one for the area of the turnout you are filling. Again this is covered ( HERE ).
The ties are N scale Fast Tracks Mt. Albert turnout ties. Be sure and place them in the fixture with the wide side of the tie flat on the fixture.
