I want large turnouts on my next HO module, and your #12 is the largest commercially available turnout, though it requires some assembly. In order to get the detail I'm looking for I am considering combining your tie strips with Proto87 tie plates.

The question is can you modify the ties to include an additional alignment line for the added tie plates as you have for the rail? Also, do you currently make a #12 turnout fixture?

I would think that once the rail is in place on the ties, the edge of the base of the rail would be used to align the tie plates, thus making addional lines unnecessary.

We do have #12 fixtures, these can be found on the site here....
