Euro style wide turnouts?
Posted by Ray Dunakin on Saturday, February 4, 2006 11:15 PM
My layout will be narrow gauge, so I want the "euro" style track. However, I'm having trouble finding wide turnouts with the euro ties. Who makes wide turnouts with the tie spacing I need? If I had narrow gauge ties everywhere but on the turnouts, it would look too weird even for me (and I'm not a real stickler for accuracy).

If you want british style then Peco G45 or SM32 Flex track and switches(these don't like some of the USA trains and aristo pickup skates) , other wise the LGB R5 turnouts are typical of Swiss and German, metre or 750mm track.
