Title: n track switches
Post by: goffer on February 07, 2008, 08:27:11 AM
What is the curve radius of the track coming out of the switch ?
Is it 11.25 or 19 ?

Thanks

I am a newbe at this but the "turnout" ( that's what the experts call a switch) replaces a 11.25 curve so that's what it is I guess. If you set the turnout on top of a 11.25 curve you can see what I mean.

Yes but the straight portion of the turnout does not match either the 5" straigh or any combination of the short straights and 5" straight.

Hard to add a single ended siding that way. Nice going Bachmann, you could do it with HO but not with N. I would have loved to sit in that design committee meeting.
