Sunset Valley www.svrronline.com makes a wye switch, and I believe Llagas Creek does as well, but I'm not certain. You may also try Old Pullman. www.oldpullmanmodelrailroads.com. They don't list a wye on their web site. These three companies offer switches in code 250 (and smaller) rail, so they're not compatible with the track from LGB and Aristo. If that's what you're after, check with the Parker Company. www.coparker.com . They don't list wyes on their web site, but they may do custom work.

Later,

LGB has one, it is 2 foot radius (R1). LGB # 12360
It does have straight through, left and right turns, one track becomes 3.

Aristo is working on one (a #6), but I do not believe it has shipped yet. Aristo stock #30345
