[quote user="SRS 4501"]<p>Hello to the forum again and trust the new year is going good for everyone. I am busy working on my new layout and in case you may have missed it, see what a mess I'm making of it in the other forum. (Layout construction and gardening)</p><p>I do have a question however so thought I'd put it here.</p><p>Does anyone have experience with installation of three-way turnouts? Where can I find a supplier and are they cost prohibitive?</p><p>Looks like, in the layout I have decided on, I could use one three-way turnout where construction of a reversing "T" is planned. In other words I want one piece that will allow straight ahead direction as well as left and right diverging.</p><p>I know I've seen this done in various layouts but don't know if they are custom made or can you purchase from a supplier?</p><p>Many thanks............. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Dear SRS,</p><p> </p><p>Three-way turnouts are a great space saver.</p><p>That said make sure that all of your rolling stock and motive power can negotiate R1 (600mm/2ft radius) curves without problems. Having one of the 3-ways in a yard ladder saves room and [b]can[/b] also generate a lot of frustration.</p><p> </p><p>Best regards</p><p>ER </p>
