Post subject: | Turnout Size??? |
I plan to build my own turnouts. N Scale. Now wondering what size I should get. On my last layout I used #6 (Peco) and had no issues but I'm wondering: 1) For Mainline, should I go with something larger, like #8? 2) For yard ladders, should I go with something smaller, like #4. I've been thinking of going with #6 and #8. Or, are these close enough together that it wouldn't really make too much difference. Or should I just abandon the idea of 2 different sizes and just go with #6? I'm doing a 4 X 8 layout, then one that is 7 X 13 or so. |

Whatever you fancy. But ......... 1:9 is the sharpest point regularly used on the old continent and has a topspeed of 40 km/h diverting. On the other hand ........ 1:9 looks overly long on a model layout. So hence my answer: whatever you fancy |
