Handlaying N Scale Turnouts - Video Tutorials

I found this series of video tutorials on You Tube. The video is a little grainy but good enough to follow the construction of switches in N Scale. Evert, the fellow making the switches, has a fairly easy going approach to handlaying.  He builds switches without a metal jig and these techniques can be used to build many different kinds of switches and crossings. This is also very useful when you only have a couple of switches that you need and not enough to justify the cost of a jig.

I’ve gathered the tutorials together here because You Tube tends to be inconsistent with related clips and you often have to go looking for the next part in the series. Enjoy…
