HO / Turnout Configuration Question
July 13, 2023, 08:01:14 AM
Hey All, Just joining for the first time.

I am working on building a basic HO circle (oval) setup for under the Christmas tree this coming holiday season.

I am using 26 radius ez track with the gray bed. It will be 2 half circles with 2 9 inch straight sections on each side, to make an oval.

I would like to add a turnout on one side so one half circle has another track on the inside. So it would turn out and come back in with another turnout on the other side. Oval with inner turn on one side.

My question, is, what turnout number do I use #4, #5 or #6? I would like the inner track to be fairly close to the outer track to conserve space, yet have enough clearance to not contact the out loop cars. Would a #6 work then?

And, do I also use the same 26 radius on the inner turn then?

Thanks!
