I keep thinking about something I wanted to ask after I posted the thread. I apoligize for all the threads. I do have one more guestion.  I think this was covered along time ago.  Is there a site you can go to and actuallly print out the correct sizes of the actual turnouts on paper so that you can put them on the train table so you can see how they fit and can plan accordingly.  If someone knows,  Please tell.  would appreciate it very much.  Again sorry for all the Peco Threads.

 Have a Happy Holiday,  DON

I don't know about Central Valley, but the only ones that I have encountered are the ones at www.handlaidtrack.com.  I have never see ones for the Peco turnouts, which are not going to be as close to the templates above as you would need.  Lengths might be different, and probably geometry to a slight extent.

Back when I was printing out my track plan in xtracad I was using all peco turnouts and after printing I found my peco's to be an exact match.

If you know someone who has the turnout or turnouts you'd like to use, they can make a copy of it on any copier.  They could even email it to you so it could be anyone on this site who would do that for you.  I have Peco code 75 short turnouts if you need an image.
