Fast Tracks

One of the things that we have been wanting to do for some time now is to put together some videos that people could view online that would demonstrate how our assembly fixtures worked and provide some tips and advice on track building in general.

Well we finally managed to make it happen and I am pleased to announce that we have released a number of videos that you might find helpful.

You will find a complete list of videos that you can view online on our site at http://www.handlaidtrack.com/documents.php, but here are some direct links to a couple of videos that you might find very useful:

• How To Solder Trackwork - Tim demonstrates how to get that perfect solder joint.
• How Turnout Frogs Work - The mysteries of turnout frogs are revealed with this detailed explaination and demonstration of just what happens when wheels pass over a turnout frog and why frog points in fixture built turnouts perform so well.
• Building Turnouts with a Fast Tracks Assembly Fixture - This is a biggie at just over an hour long, but well worth the watch.

Hello,

I have viewed the videos that you have offered online and found them to be excellent--both content and presentation are very good. Are you going to be offering them for download or as a DVD in the near future. I belong to a MRR club in the Twin City area and believe that these videos would be very helpful for some of our members to assist them in learning a new skill. We don't have either broadband or DSL in the club building, so our exposure is limited.
Thanks,

Hello,

You can actually download the videos from our website now. Just go to the video page (http://www.handlaidtrack.com/documents.php) and instead of clicking on the video icon, right click and select "Save Target As" to save the file to your computer.

We do have these videos available on a CD. If you like, just email me your mailing address and I will send you a copy. The CD is free of charge.

We are planning on producing DVD versions of the videos that you will be able to play using your DVD and TV. Not sure when we will get these released, but it is high on our agenda.
