N / Standard Turnouts
December 16, 2009, 12:23:54 PM
As I understand it, the "standard" remote turnout, is not a #4, #5, or a #6, rather the divergent route on the switch is 11.25 inch radius.  Using another 11.25 radius curve would then allow a parallel siding.

Questions:
1.  What would be the centerline distance between the main line and the siding?
2.  Are any of the small track pieces from the 44829 set (1 1/8, 2 1/4, and 4 1/2 inches required to align the siding?

Note:  I have tried to get the answers and numbers to my questions using the Atlas RTS program, and I want to verify the answers.
