How To Build a Switch with CVT Turnout Ties

>
>

There is nothing wrong with the Turnout Kits

from Central Valley Model Works, they look fantastic, but I want an powered frog (frog switching see https://dccwiki.com/Turnout

) and a reliable throw rod (PCB tie-bar). Therefore I need only the CVT Turnout Ties and not the Turnout Kit.

CVT Switch Kit #2571, #5 LH Code70

PCB throw bar, switch point and hinges

Frog isolation gaps

Notch the stock rails (I use the StockAid tool form Fast Tracks), notch starts about in the middle of the first head block tie

Glue the straight stock rail to the ties
Bend the curved stock rail till it fit to the tie plates and glue it to the ties
File the frog point rails (I use the PointForm tool from Fast Tracks) and solder the halves together
