Not very pleased with my previous attempts in building the tracks and points for my layout I have recently decided to take it from the beginning.

I will go ahead using the same track-plan, made using Templot, by Keith AAndrmes:

For the baseboard I purchased a new, good quality, 1/4" thick plywood cut to size (4' x 1'1") which has been nailed onto the old frame (saved after removing the original ply board).

I have decided to build the turnouts off site, on a Sundeala board. Because all four are very close to each other I thought it might be easier to build them in the same time and not one by one. This way all the rails will flow smoothly.

I glued the track plan to the Sundeala board using the 3M Spray Mount.

I made an A6 Easitrac turnout but I have to admit I didn't enjoy building it like I enjoyed building them using the classic "rails soldered to PCB timbers" method so I'm going to re-build all the turnouts using my soldering iron.

I stuck all the PCB timbers I've got onto the track plan using double-sided adhesive tape then I started the work which I enjoy most: soldering.

Below is a comparison between the new made turnout (left) and one of my first attempts (right). One can notice the bigger (and not so prototypical) gap between the stock and the check rails.

I am quite pleased with my new built turnout and it looks like my skills have improved.
