[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith I will always recommend LGB switches over Aristo, but I will clarify that I am using R1 curves and havent used Aristos larger diameter turnouts. I have experienced numerous stalls and derailments with the R1 Aristo switches but cannot comment on the larger turnouts, they may be fine with larger engines. Caviat about LGB R3 switches, they DO NOT come in manual, only electric. If you do not want to wire 5 million feet of control wire and some very pricey control boxes you might consider the Aristo wide radius turnouts. LGB's are also much more pricey than the Aristos. I would just stay away from the R1 stuff. Wider is better, if you have the room I would go no smaller than 6 foot diameter, 8 foot's better and seams to be the defacto "standard" right now. You can run almost everything on the 8 foot diameter curves. [/quote] Vic, Thanks for the advice. I think will, go with the 6 foot diameter, for the sake of price. Unless you strongly reply that I should go with 8 foot diameter. For your help and advice, I will name one of my curves "Smith Curve," or "Borracho Curve" if you prefer. Ya never know, someday I may put in a whislte-stop there. But my layout is many months, if not years, from fruition. Plenty of time to stock up and plan! Again, thanks.
