Hi guys,

Whats available in the way of curved turnouts in N scale? I see that Atlas and Peco both make them, but i dont see any radius measurements on them. I see Peco has Medium radius and double radius, whats the difference between the 2 radius wise?

I am really looking for Code 55 turnouts, but can use Code 80 if need be, and im shooting for a 22" inside radius on the curved turnout to keep the minimum 22" radius of the layout...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks for the reply Jeff! I had forgotten all about fast tracks. It might be worth it for me to look into their turnouts, at least the curved ones as like I mentioned I want to stick to the 22" minimum and while Peco's outside radius of 36" is okay, the 18" inside is a little too tight for what I would like to have to run larger modern equipment.
 
I have a couple of the Peco curved turnouts on their way to me as we speak, possibly today but more likely after the weekend. I'll let you know how they perform.
