Which brands of turnouts are compatible with Bachmann brass track?
From the photos I've seen, they Bachmann turnouts look like they have a radius for the diverging (?) track, is that correct and what's the radius (I have 8' diameter curved track so far)?
Anyone make turnout kits that would match the 8' diameter (4' radius) track?

The just-announced Bachmann turnouts will be 2' radius (4' diameter).
Pretty much any code 332 turnout will be compatible with the Bachmann track; Aristo, US, LGB, Piko, TrainLine45, etc. They come in a variety of sizes. Wider is better, but wider takes up a lot of room, too. If your curves are 4' radius, then you can certainly get away with 4' radius switches.

Thanks Kevin! The Proswitch R4 is what I was looking for to match my 4 foot radius track.
