Does anyone know of the radii of Peco #5 and #6 turnouts? Are they the same as Atlas ?
[h=1][/h] ALSO I noticed ( is this correct?) the code 55 turnouts are less expensive then the code 83 turnouts). I never used code 55 although I will be modeling a lumbering line and inner city, as well as branch line. Can I use code 55 for the whole layout. Any difference in performance with the correct trucks and flanges.
What lb. rate of track does code 55 equal in real life? is it more difficult to lay flex track?
Which code is preferred ?
Thanks
