[quote] <p>Alan,</p><p>If I interpret your post and your picture correctly, I am quite aware that the diverging track angle will be quite different on the #5 turnout than it is on the Atlas Snap turnout. My concern is with the straight portion. From the Fast track template, its right at, maybe ever so slightly less than 9" in length. The diverging track can and will change and that's not an issue in that spot. I can address that with a piece of flex-track. </p><p>Tom</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>To me - drop in means no changes to any of the track connected to a turnout. The straight portion worked fine; the diverging route was not even close (it did appear that I could modify the turnout to fit - modification did not work out). You can download templates from the Fast Tracks web site to see exactly what the completed turnouts look like.</p><p> </p>
