I had forgotten to include the regular #5 turnouts and the #6 with 1/3 18".  I just redid it with the #5's and #6 with 1/3 18. included.
Feel like a Mogul.

According to RR-Track the diverging angles of the various turnouts are:

Standard: 30 degrees (18" Radius Curve Equivelant)
#6: 10 degrees
#5: 12 degrees
#4: 15 degrees
#5 Wye: +/- 6 degrees each leg

Knowing the angles makes it easier to figure out curves to make parallel tracks.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
