This is a set of PCB ties for turnout construction. They are fully compatible with the Fast Tracks N Scale product. These ties are made from high quality fiberglass and are gaped, drilled and tinned. Cut the ties to length with an old pair of diagonal cutters or similar and insert them into the Fast Track jig. Be sure to check the length as you cut since the exact length varies depending on the point size. Also use an old pair of diagonal cutters as fiberglass will dull cutters. Since they are already tinned they solder easier then bare copper ties. Click here to download the brochure.
A new feature is the ability to add a wire on the throw bars that greatly improves the reliability of the connection between the throw bar and the points. The wire provides mechanical support so that it does not exclusively depend on the solder.
“I ordered these a few months back and have tried them out several times. They are much easier to use than the FastTrack copper ties: there is no cutting of copper on the sides of the board (of course); and they actually fit better into the FastTrack jigs than the FT copper ties - they are a little thinner and don't lift the rails out of the jigs so much. Great product!”
“Lightning quick delivery and a real time saver for me vs cutting my own pcb ties. I'd recommend cutting the ties from the fret with a rotary tool and cut off wheel vs the rail cutter though. The snap of the jaws made me cringe, especially on the n scale ties with the pre drilled hole!”
