Title: 22-degree track - which turnout will match?
Post by: JonJet on December 12, 2024, 01:32:39 PM

I have a 180-degree curve made up of 8 sections of 22-degree radius EZ track...

I want to replace one curve section with a turnout...which one will fit best?

Any additional "short sections" needed?

A #4 turnout with 1/2 22" radius would get you close but not exact because there was a little bit of fudging on this one.

I finally got it to work in SCARM...

Using a LH #4 as the 8th curve then replacing the #7 curve with an 18-degree curve

4.5" and 2.25" complete the oval

I'm glad you go it to work. I was using Anyrail.
