... a Y-turnout having approximately the same radius in each road as the turnout radius of an A-5 turnout? That raises the question of which radius to use. I suggest you use the internal geometrical radius, which is the same for all 1:5 crossings and independent of the type of crossing and the type of switch. You can find the internal geometrical radius by expanding the info panel and scrolling to the bottom. You will see that for an EM gauge A-5 RAM the answer is 928.11mm: 2_061515_140000000.png Then set the curving radius in the main road to match (- 928.11mm negative for a Y-turnout) -- geometry> radius and curving... menu item. Then adjust the crossing angle using F5 (or F9 in TDV) until the internal geometrical radius is the same again. The answer is 1 in 3.53. However as Nigel suggested such very short Y-turnouts do look a bit toy-like, and at the very least you should change from the A switch to a 9ft switch, ...
