Layout design
Gapping hand laid turnout frogs
I have recently completed track work on my small (2'× 9') switching layout. All track is hand laid and I used fast tracks jigs for the turnouts. My question is this, do I really need to gap both sides of the frog? On of the things that always drew me in with hand laid turnouts was the point rails flowing all the way to the frogs. I just think it looks better that way. Is there a real world practical reason to gap the point rails before the frog?

CNW Marshline Model Railroad Layout Update #2
Happy Halloween!
Progress on the Marshline sub has been slow as of late. Its been difficult getting the ceiling painted and its really chewing into my limited hobby time. My latest video shows my progress and also talks about getting started on my model railroad. I’d love to hear what you think of the progress so far! Let me know what you think!
Thanks for watching!
