Hello...I'm new. Question. I've used the Peco code 55 curved turnouts on my layout and it's time to scrap 'em. Does anyone know which Fast Tracks curved turnout to use to replace these with minimal trackwork reconstruction? Thanks!

Frank,

The geometry will be different as the FastTracks is based on the more typical US straight frog alignment. I'd suggest you print out the various templates from the library and overlay the template to an existing alignment and see what you can do. With the FT, you can extend the rails some and make some modest easements to arrange your trackage without too much in the way of changes.

I estimate I have about 5 pounds of coupler springs somewhere in the vicinity of my workbench.
