In March, 2020, Charles Field posted on Facebook about a Track Panel Jig that he built. This was the second one of these jigs he constructed. It is light weight and disassembles into two parts for easy storage. It will work for constructing both straight and curved track panels of 10 foot length.
This article presents Charles' original drawings and photos, along with a version modified for "Texas Standard Tie Spacing".
The Original
Support Joint members in place prior to fill welding.
