... hoping for something shorter to match in with the small turnouts and tight radius. Hi John, Everything depends on your acceptable minimum radius? Toy trains traditionally go down to 15" radius but unless you will be running only old toy trains I don't think you can sensibly go that sharp. Perhaps a suitable absolute minimum would be 450mm/ 18" radius? To get the easiest possible radius in the shortest turnout you need to select the non-prototype model switches in the list, and a generic type V-crossing. 2_011146_480000000.png Using the shortest 1:24 model switch and generic 1:6 V-crossing you can get this crossover: 2_011147_280000000.png 750mm radius in the outer double-track and 700mm in the inner double track. Generic V-crossings. The turnout radius in the outer turnout is just over the 18" limit at 464mm/ 18.3". This seems to be about as tight as you can sensibly go with kit-built models, and even then is likely to mean carving lumps out of them for loco bogies to swing ...
