He is not using 'metal' ties. These ties are made from Printed Circuit board (PC Board)- a electronics item adapted to this use. It has been used in model railroading at least from the mid 1970's. This board material is a copper lamination with an electrically insulating polyester board as the middle of the sandwich.
Jason McCarthy sure you can crank out as many turnouts as you wish... but just how many curved turnouts would you need? Unless you’re going to incorporate 15 or so curved turnouts into your track plan, the cost of the jig and associated tools is simply not cost effective.
dexterdog62 usually one or very few of a type of turnout are built in place. But say if you are going to build a moderate layout, whether club or personal, and you are going to need a substantial amount of no.6 or so, then it’s a very good investment.
dexterdog62 i see most modelers go to the max on detailing locos and freight cars/buildings and such. Them they use flextrack and pre-made turnouts, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Some, like myself and many others, want to build everything. I’d like to handlay my own track and turnouts. I’ll be buying some of these jigs in the near future.
Hope you all are savvy enough to turn the sound WAY down. The extra deep bass will harm your hearing. Today's dumb ass rock music bass is an octave lower than the the E it used to go down to; especially the synthesized stuff (which this is).
@@paulmclaughlin7516 if you come back and really want to watch this as a tutorial (which it isn't) then you can click the cog to reduce the speed. What a grouch.
Where are you listening to this where it has any chance at hurting your hearing? Just keep your speakers at a normal volume. I'm getting about 58 db at average listening. As well, how low bass is doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what octave it's in if it's the same spl/volume.
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover model railroad layouts try Stiklind Model Train Fixer (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it.

Looks so easy when Tim do the work...
Truely its a piece of art, But it has to work continually flawless.I love a big sweeping turn out long is where its at.
How does it not short out with metal ties bridging all the rails?
Gaps are cut into the copper ties.
Metal clad ties
Clading is cut to isolate rail
I don't understand how soldering the rails to metal ties doesn't mess up the polarity separation...
I have the same question
The ties only have a copper laminate over fiberglass sheet. You can see him filing through the copper, to isolate the rails.
Cut a gap

The metal is cut on the surface
Slick system
Nice but the jigs are expensive.
Agreed and if you live in the UK and have to pay shipping and customs charges on top they are out of the question. Get yourself a UK agent
But you can use them endlessly.

kind of lame they solder and not use plates and spikes
😂

Way too fast to watch and music sucks unless you like the sound of being on hold
What?
